    Great Food, great staff, good price, let me explain. This restaurant is off the main Street but well worth the extra five minute walk. The restaurant is a basement premises but is clean well appointed and well lit. The welcome warm and friendly, popodoms dips and pickles provided immediately then drinks order taken and finally after ample time to make a selection the food order taken. The food was served hot with portions that should satisfy all but the largest appetite. The balance of spices was perfect allowing each to come through on the palate. The staff were attentive, not intrusive. If I had one criticism the table top was so thickly laid with cloth I found it a little soft. Will I go back, yes.

    A true 💎 gem with a befitting name for a restaurant. Tables were beautifully set with white crisp table cloths and napkins/serviettes. We were warmly greeted by a staff member and promptly served with fresh gigantic poppadoms and chutney. The food was served piping hot, full of flavours and a good mix of spices. The serving crew who attended to us were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. We will definitely return and also recommend this restaurant. I rated the ambience/atmosphere 4 stars because I thought that the lighting could’ve been better. One gesture we truly appreciated was that they provided reading glasses for their customers for their convenience. To summarise we appreciated their genuine interest in their patrons. Thank you for making our long day a treasured one.

    From the service to the tasty food, wow this place was a treat ! The wait staff was so kind & accommodating for our vegan needs. We even got steamed towels at the end and some oranges for dessert. Thank you so much for making an incredible experience for dinner. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants some delicious food, kind service, and an inviting atmosphere. A bonus was it was someone’s birthday and they were so sweet and sang happy birthday and had a cake. It made the place feel extra warm.

    I've been fortunate to have travelled all over the world and have eaten in some really good Indian restaurants, but I have to say this ranks up there with the best, whether its during week or at weekends, always the same, Easily my favourite restaurant in The old Granite city

    One of the best restaurants we've ever been to. Very friendly staff, excellent atmosphere, fast service, reasonable prices and incredible food. Seated almost immediately and then we were welcomed by a delicious starter. Didn't have to wait long for the main meal either which was of very high quality. The waiter was very helpful when sharing his professional opinion on the meals, and helped give recommendations. When we were finished with our meals, we were given oranges, chocolates and freshly steamed towels. Pricing was adequate. Thank you very much. We will certainly be coming back.

    Incredibly delicious Indian dishes, with many vegan and customised-vegan options available. The staff could not have been more friendly.

    Went for lunch before an afternoon train; great food (with a very good dhal) and fantastic service

  • 5/5 mary m. 11 months ago on Google
    Enjoyed a fabulous meal here, with my family, mid last week. Each meal that we ordered was delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. We eat out quite a lot, and sometimes our taste buds feel jaded. But not on this occassion. It was a wonderful dinner experience. Highly recommend.

    It is not often that I find a restaurant that I can give a 10 to, but this place is the exception. In general we have found UK restaurants to be overpriced. These guys weren’t cheap, but they were certainly value for money. Food, again exceptional. Won’t go through our list, but I could not fault the quality or the volumes. Service again, exemplary. Well dressed, polite and nothing seemed to much trouble. We were privileged to meet dad, who, whilst being the head chef, was also a thorough gentleman and I took this opportunity to thank him and his team for their efforts

    Excellent Indian restaurant. I had the Naga Lamb, which was delightfully fruity and had a nice kick. Bread was fresh out the Tandoor, lovely , soft, fluffy and delicious. Will defo be back and recommend.

  • 5/5 Eugene Y. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a lovely time here for a work night out. The food was great and the service was very good. I would recommend this restaurant again. There was fresh chillis in my chicken madras which is really good and a sign of high quality. Some restaurants just use chilli powder. Great job!

    I had the chicken biryani which was okay, but not cheap at just over £17. The nan bread was great! 2 bottles of sparking mineral water cost over £11. Service was efficient and friendly.

  • 5/5 Vicky S. 9 months ago on Google
    Food was very good. It's really worth the money spent. We were family of ten and were greeted and warm welcome by the staff. They do give pappadams when you just sit on the table. At the end they gave orange slices which was my favourite. Would recommend this hotel to anyone who is in Aberdeen. Defo go.

    Great food and service. Slightly expensive compared to other Indian restraints in Aberdeen. Recommend the vegetable dishes!

  • 5/5 A A. 1 year ago on Google
    We had the vegetable biryani as a takeaway. Phoned ahead, 40 minute wait before collection but wow! so worth the wait. Fantastic flavour, quality ingredients. No wonder it's so busy!

  • 5/5 Andy de M. 1 year ago on Google
    We are only here for a few nights in Aberdeen and we’ve chosen to come here two nights in a row. We enjoyed it so much the first night that we came back the next night and it was even more enjoyable. Great food and excellent staff and an awesome atmosphere.

    Not enough stars to choose as 5 not enough. I've eaten in many places over the years but not one has ever made me go WOW with every bite until now.

    Car park easy to find and before you turn off the engine you can smell the food being cooked and filtering through the air vents to welcome you. Service is faultless and the food is incredible. Lovely atmosphere and tasteful decor. Would recommend and book again.
