Absolutely
incredible
restaurant.
It
seriously
feels
like
walking
into
something
you've
only
read
about
in
novels.
The
whole
ambiance
is
very
lively
without
being
overbearingly
loud,
and
the
service
manages
to
be
incredibly
fast,
friendly
and
attentive
despite
all
tables
being
fully
booked.
Now...
the
food.
I
had
ordered
4
courses
for
the
utterly
low
price
of
£35.
First
off,
I
got
some
various
papadums
with
shrimp
and
mango
chutneys
-
absolutely
marvellous.
The
papads
had
the
perfect
consistency
and
were
excellent
vehicles
for
the
chutneys,
both
of
which
were
just
perfectly
balanced
between
savoury,
spicy
and
fruity
/
sweet
without
being
cloying
or
acrid.
The
actual
first
course
was
an
equally
fluffy
and
crispy
dosa
which
can
be
lifted
off
the
plate,
revealing
a
perfectly
sized
portion
of
intensely
spiced
duck
curry,
alongside
a
small
bowl
of
refreshing
coconut
chutney.
Each
of
those
ingredients
being
a
delight
in
itself,
the
dish
is
certainly
more
than
the
sum
of
its
parts,
with
all
the
textures
and
flavours
coming
together
amazingly
well
in
every
little
self-made
wrap.
Next,
a
bowl
of
luscious
and
earthy
kid
goat
methi
was
served
alongside
toasted,
buttery
brioche
buns
as
well
as
some
minced
raw
onions
and
a
whole
freshly
roasted
chili
pepper
-
it's
like
a
DIY
sloppy
joe
slider
kit,
just
way,
way
better.
Do
be
careful
around
the
chili
pepper
-
I
consider
myself
to
be
a
very
seasoned
eater
when
it
comes
to
hot
chilis,
but
this
one's
really
bloody
hot
-
I
made
the
mistake
of
eating
the
whole
thing
at
once
with
some
methi
and
a
papadum,
and
I
ended
up
having
to
order
a
mango
lassi
to
cool
off.
The
last
savoury
course
was
a
very
generous
portion
of
pork
cheek
vindaloo,
braised
potatoes
and
dal,
served
alongside
a
basket
filled
with
freshly
made
naan
-
fluffy,
crispy
and
herbal.
Once
again,
the
joy
of
just
tearing
the
bread
into
pieces
and
scooping
up
a
multitude
of
incredibly
flavoursome
sauces
cannot
be
overstated
-
if
you
like
eating
with
your
hands,
you'll
love
this
place
-
which
isn't
surprising,
given
its
ambition
to
elevate
true
Indian
home
cooking
to
a
level
worthy
of
Michelin
praise
while
skipping
on
the
pretentiousness
that
many
other
similarly-priced
establishments
tend
to
exude.
For
dessert,
a
combination
of
very
sweet
black
carrot
halwa
and
rose
petal
ice
cream
was
served
with
a
sesame
cracker
and
some
pistachio
and
chocolate/caramel
petit
fours.
While
the
halwa
was
a
bit
too
sweet
for
my
taste
-
I
prefer
my
desserts
either
very
chocolate-y
or
more
herbal/fresh
-
I
did
like
the
overall
combination,
especially
the
rose
petal
ice
cream
and
the
sesame
cracker.
All
in
all,
this
is
certainly
one
of
the
best
-
and
memorable
-
meals
I've
ever
had,
and
I'll
be
sure
to
come
back
during
my
next
visit
to
London.
