Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Out in London with friends and looking for a late meal after lots of walking we came across the lovely little restaurant near London Bridge Station. The staff were very welcoming even though it was after 10:00 pm and there were 8 of us. The...lamb Chop starter i had was lovely and the Lamb Sikandari main was beautiful the meat so tender and the Chick Pea sauce had a heat that just built and built until there was a lovely warmth. Less than £400 for 8 people the value is great and the quality of the food and service are superbMore

Lucky enough to get a table as walk-ins on a busy Saturday night. Good service, nice selection of drinks and great food choices with some different dishes to the normal indian restaurant menus. The Dhansaks we had were the best we've ever tasted. Nice cutlery,...good china and proper napkins make all the difference. Not the cheapest but you are in London! Recommended and we would go back.More

I would overall rate 3/10 as the waiter who was assisting us was very rude and judgmental after every food we eat he was rushing us to go for the next and even after we finished our main course we still wanted to hang around...and have drinks he was asking us if we were done and if so please leave . This attitude was really not custom service standard. The food was less in quantity and taste was absolutely not as labelled not worth the price. I wouldn’t recommend this place if this is how it would be with the guest .More

Found the staff here very ignorant,we had a takeaway, food wasn't the best and overpriced 3 of the smallest bhajis ive ever had for £6, 2 pieces of sheek kebab £6, the smallest portions of chicken balti and shaslik, i have never known starters to...come without salad and mint sauce before if you wanted it it was £2.50 for 3 little tubs , i know its tower bridge area but ripping tourists off like you are you deserve bad reviews.More

Fantastic Indian restaurant. Have been many times before. A warm welcome awaits you. Good service and excellent food as usual. Authentic dishes and generous food portions. If your in the shard area and are after an Indian feast, get yourself there. You will not be...disappointed.More

Restaurant is very conveniently located, close to Tower Bridge. Staff were friendly and very helpful and knowledgeable. As there were 8 of us we required some help in terms of quantity and heat of the dishes. The food was excellent and authentic. A really enjoyable...dinner in a busy and vibrant restaurant.More

From the moment we walked in the service was quality, food and drink was quick. You’re not going to find better food at this price in central london. I had a moderately spicy duck curry that I’d never tried before and it went down a...treat. My friend is vegan and also thought his meal was quality. I’d definitely come again if I was in the area, guaranteed booooossssshhhh.More

We got here earlier than our booking time but were warmly welcomed. We love indian cuisine and live in suffolk but we have never had indian food in London. We had the usual poppadums and chutney and then opted for a mixed starter. OMG the...chicken was amazing, so tender and not cubed or tough. This lead us onto the mains which if it was like the starter would be excellent. We were not disappointed. I had a vindloo and the wife had a chicken dish with pineapples and coconut cream sauce. Absolutely excellent in every way. The staff were super friendly and i even cheekily asked for a discount. Our waiter knocked 10 per cent off straight away. A thoroughly fantastic meal, unrushed and totally enjoyable. I would recommend you find this gem by the Shard, i promise you will love it !!! We certainly did !!!!More
