“ Wow! We came here on recommendation from a friend and it certainly lived up to expectations. We have three main courses which was very good but no competition of chicken Razela dish. the meat was so tender and tasty. Plenty of rice and good size of portions .The service was lovely and the Resturant was busy, but service was quick. We loved dining here and left with very full bellies ”
“ Possibly this has been the best Indian restaurant in Belfast that we had our food and we simply loved it. The decoration inside has been carefully done with brilliant taste. The staffs are friendly and helpful. The food quality is excellent alongside the presentation of those. We had murg pakora and Chicken Tak tak, Chicken Biriyani, Garlic naan and Barahi Gosht during our visit to this restaurant. Howey, according to me, parking can be a little challenge. There is a paid street parking available (8am-6pm mon-sat ) though but with limited slots. While the food quality is great, quantity can appear little less when compared with the price but that definitely is not a complaint! We would definitely be a returning customer! ”
“ Legitimately, this is a great restaurant. We have never had a bad or close to subpar meal here. It has always been excellent. The quality of ingredients and attention to detail when cooking is exceptional. Plating up of food is well considered and the table service of main meals is thoughtful and attentive. They are also very good at dealing patiently and warmly with younger children whilst maintaining the restaurant's quality. The staff are always friendly and seem very involved in the entire delivery of the high quality of the restaurant's experience. ”
“ I'm not usually a fan of Indian cuisine, find it too filling and heavy, however ny son chose this for his birthday dinner and wow, I'm glad he did! The restaurant was lovely, very comfortable seats, plush furnishings which I think reduces the noise levels. The service was superb and both the food and the wine were delicious. For the first time ever I managed to eat a full meal and we all left feeling pleasantly full but not stuffed! Will definitely return and I hear they also do take out ”
“ We are just visiting town and stopped by for dinner and we are glad we did! Service was excellent. We got recommendations and suggestions from the servers who were very helpful and attentive. The food was amazing, very tasty and the portion sizes were spot on! If we’re ever in town again, we will be coming back for sure! ”
