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.

There aren’t enough words to describe one of the most wonderful dining experiences I’ve had, the explosion of tastes & textures was just amazing, the service was superb. I wish this restaurant was local to us back in the UK. If you are into Asian...food this restaurant is a must, you won’t be disappointed.More

Being veggie, I know I will always get an excellent option array at an Indian, and this place did not disappoint. We arrived without a booking and were seated straight away, although I am glad we arrived when we did because it got very busy...after we arrived. We opted for the poppadoms instead of a starter, I had the paneer chilli for my main with egg rice and my husband had a lamb dish. Loads of food, we were asked how spicy we wanted the dish, and the waiters were attentive without being overbearing. We opted for desserts for which I chose ice cream (perfect after the paneer chilli 🤣) and my husband had the pistachio kulfi. All told, we had a lovely meal. Be warned that the restaurant is up a very very steep hill. It is not far up the hill, but it will be difficult for those with breathing or walking difficulties.More

This has fast become one of our favourite restaurants in Carvoeiro and favourite Indian restaurant ever! My husband loves the fish curry and chilli fish curry and their korma and Saslik Karahi chicken are the best I've ever eaten. The portions are generous and the...prices are reasonable. Great service and the staff are always lovely.More

Group of 8 Canadian friends enjoyed an evening outdoor meal in the off season, the patio heaters were a wonderful touch. Mixed grill, lamb curry, butter chicken and korma were all very tasty. Fast & friendly service, complimentary port was a nice touch.

We tried 4 different dishes and they were all very tasty. The lamb was not so tender though. Staff was lovely and chatted with us. Very nice and polite people.

Amazing food. Himalayan Cham Cham is to die for. Probably the tastiest curry we've ever had. First class food and service.

We had heard this restaurant was popular so we booked ahead. The staff were very welcoming and we were quickly seated. I ordered the fish korma curry and rice, which was delicious 😋 My husband ordered the hot Madras curry, rice with naan bread. If...you don't like your curry hot, remember to mention you would prefer it mild. We were given a free glass of port wine after our meal which was a nice touch. All the staff were lovely but a special shout out to Bishnu who was so attentive with helping me choose my meal. Thank you!More
