    Interesting place this. Had an evening meal here with a few friends and had booked in advance. It was quiet with no other customers until about 30 mins after our booking time. Atmosphere is fine, but isn't inviting and doesn't create excitement, but it is clean and tidy. Seating is minimal, maybe enough space for 15-20 people in the whole place. Food service is quick, food tastes good and there is a very large variety of options. For a small place like this, I feel perhaps there is too much on offer, but I think they are trying to cater for everyone. Tables are quite small, with 4 of us sat together, there wasn't enough space on the table for the food and our plates, had to add an additional table on the side and we had not ordered much at all. Everything is halal which is great and food quality is good. Prices are reasonable as well. Overall I would probably come back here.

    So a new restaurant in Purley. A lovely halal place with a mix of Pakistani Street food such as samosa chaat, pani puri, parathas. They also do burgers, build your own wraps, curries. It really is an infusion of foods. The stand out thing for me though is the Karak Chai. A heady cup of tea that has cooked for a while, infused with cardamom and is a literal hug in a mug. This is a new restaurant and i would really recommend a visit to support something new and innovative. We had a lovely server who was enthusiastic about the food. I've had a few deliveries and they have been prompt and order was all there. We will be visiting them again!

    Saw this place from last three months and waiting for them to open. Could not wait, and been there last weekend. Tried their Egg Burger and Desi Breakfast, both were top notch. Ordered their smoothies, they are nice and different than usual flavours

    What a great desi addition to Purley! Dont have to frerry to Norbury anymore 😄We had an impromptu late Saturday brunch... was quite satisfying with the Samosa chaat, Halwa poori and Parantha chanay accompanied by the obligatory Karak chai. Food tasted fresh and tasty. Just felt if the seating area could have been a little bigger it would have added immensely to the dining experience. But the place is quite neat and the staff extremely friendly and nice. Well worth a visit 😋

    So happy that another halal restaurant has opened in the area! The restaurant had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff were friendly. The food was delicious and flavourful. I ordered The Big Cheese Burger and Samosa Chaat which was so good - don't have to travel to Green Street or Whitechapel for it anymore! For drinks I ordered the virgin mojito and a Karak Chai. Definitely would recommend everyone to go here!!

    We had a very nice and pleasant dinner with a friend who likes vegetarian Indian food. The owners were very attentive and food was generous portions. Between the two of us we got three infusion vegie curries and could not finished it all. Salty lassi was very nice to go with spicy food. Note that the restaurant does not serve alcohol. I definitely go back for a take-away if not another sit-down meal. Thanks!

    My initial experience at this establishment was nothing short of exceptional. Visiting for the first time, accompanying my mother following her appointment at the nearby hospital, I was immediately struck by the intimate ambiance created by the thoughtfully curated decor in spite of the modest size of the restaurant.The service provided by a waiter named Osama stood out notably. His remarkable professionalism, courteous demeanor, and attentive service were noteworthy and greatly enhanced our visit. Additionally, engaging with the owner proved to be an enlightening experience; his candid insights into the business's ethos and values added depth to our dining experience.Undoubtedly, the highlight of our visit was the exceptional quality of the Karak Chai, an unparalleled delight that surpassed any I've sampled in various London establishments. While the dishes did require some waiting time, their freshness and delectable flavors rendered the wait worthwhile.Eagerly anticipating a return, I'm already contemplating a morning visit to savor their breakfast offerings. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone in the vicinity, as it promises a culinary experience that transcends expectation.

    Have been twice now, both times at the weekend so we were able to get the halwa puri which is their weekend special - very delicious with generous portions and very fairly priced which is quite rare these days! They also do a pistachio lassi which is very unique as well as mango lassi which was delicious! The karak chai and masala chai are both delicious. The staff there are very friendly - I wish them well!

    Recently found out about this nice halal restaurant at the centre of Purley. It is a fantastic addition with a great menu to offer. The menu caters for all customers including those English food to Indian Pakistani food. Ranging from breakfast, lunch, snacks, burgers every thing you can think of. Food took a bit longer to arrive but the quality and taste was amazing. I had a burger which was soft and juicy and well made. The team was also very friendly and hospitable. Great addition to Purley high street,

    Ordered off Deliveroo but really tasty so went to visit in person Large range menu, can order an English breakfast to Desi one, burgers, club sandwich, curry rice naan, mocktails & smoothies- a range to suit all tastes. Alcohol free and halal Teas are better than the coffee Parking is free in Tesco if you shop there, or nearby street parking, or many paid parking. Bus stop near plus 2 minute walk from Purley train station Recommend

    Food was good but prices are more expensive and they have only been open for 2 months. Asian menu is a lot more flavourful. Chicken biryani was delicious. Salad box not worth price. Overall would recommend

    service was very slow There was two of us ordered desi breakfast and one savoury breakfast, TOGETHER Desi breakfast came out about 20 mins which is fair enough BUT the second breakfast did not come waited more than 30 minutes to come AFTER we got the first breakfast, which meant one person had their food and was able to finish before the other person breakfast came . Dirty glasware too We did wait but the food was going to be cold, came to eat together not to eat separately breakfast should not have such time difference making when ordered exactly same time. We let the staff aware after 20 mins wait of first breakfast coming, no response from staff or urgency . In the end we had one breakfast between us because the other breakfast did not even come after 30 mins told of 1hr probably, they said they would give it take away we came to dine in and eat together. Very terrible service. Never have I actually left and establishment even if food slow because staff usually communicate and are apologetic. Photo of finished plate still waiting further 30 mins dirty glassware
