“ Excellent Indian food. The chicken shwarma was really good, but the mango sorbet dessert was some of the best I've ever had. Great service, too! ”
“ Legendary review: 1. Great location; good quality; value for money. 2. Biriyani comes with salna & raitha. 3. Outdoor seating available 4. Accepts cards 5. English speaking. ”
“ I ordered on UberEats from my hotel and requested cutlery. The staff provided a cardboard plate and wooden cutlery. The food was good, the garlic and cheese nann was fantastic ”
“ Quality of food was an absolute delight. Had chicken pakora followed by lamb balti, chicken punjab, rice, and nan. The nan came at the same time as the starter and was therefore not so warm when the mains arrived. However, I would not let this stop me from returning and would simply request the nan with the mains next time. Having travelled through India for 10 months, i have no hesitation stating that this place is definitely up there in terms of authentic Indian/Punjab food in terms of flavour and spicing. Also it is worth mentioning that the pickle at the start of the meal was fantastic and the best pickle I've had. Also had a bottle of red wine and kingfisher beer. Bill very reasonable given the quality of food at only €53. Clearly would recommend you give this place a visit. ”
“ Stumbled upon this little gem in Chartres only a few minutes away from the cathedral. Lovely terrace and absolutely delicious food! Fast service, very friendly waiters and great for vegans and even gluten free as well. Thank you for the great diner! ”
