Hands down the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant if you can even call it that. I’m not a picky person I’m pretty happy with any food that I get but the wings here were so terrible I feel like I have to warn anybody who stumbles across this place to walk the other way. Ordered mild wings and the server asked if we meant salt and pepper. On the menu there is an option for mild and there is an option for salt and pepper. We specifically said no not salt and pepper mild wings please. We still received salt and pepper. As I mentioned the wings were ABSOLUTELY atrocious, dry as the Sahara, old as dust and poorly seasoned. So when we decided to get a refund (which as I mentioned I never do) the server fumbled around with the machine for 10 minutes trying to figure out how to give us a refund. This whole time mind you the workers debated whether or not to give us our refund. Then when the machine wouldn’t let them give the refund as the refund limit for the day had been exceeded, they called the owner and got the okay to give us a cash refund for our debit transaction. How do you have staff who literally do not know how to administer a refund or have anyone on shift that can help them. This was the absolute worst choice. If your on whyte ave choose any other place to eat. Also side note why is the wings + beer less than the wings without and why didn’t she tell me that before I bought the wings themselves.

Main reason for the 1 star was that I would never ever go back due to the staffs total lack of ability to take an order or execute it correctly. Food looked ok, but bad reviews made me scared to eat it. The ceasar salad was a mixed salad with veg, black olives ceasar dressing, and process kraft parm. Didn't tell me it was 10 dollars when i asked for it with my combo that came with salad. Took 2 people to take our order for 2 combos 1 came without combo and one came with the wrong curry. Flies flying around, totally over the top VIP booths in empty restaurant. Staff barely speaks any English and first guy to try to take our order keeps repeating he is new and only for today. Ended up just taking the combo items and the dish that didn't come as a combo and paying for 1 combo and taking to go because my friend didn't get to eat after waiting half an hour. Everyone was confused and disorderly, and it was a huge challenge to order and a bigger challenge to settle the bill. By the end of it I payed 50 bucks for 2 beer and some food I didn't want and went to McDonald's. Before they moved locations I ordered all the time but things changed. Never again. Edit: I did eventually taste the food, I was afraid after the experience but I also felt bad wasting the meal, and it was delicious. If it were not for the terrible service they would probably be very successful. Hopefully I don't get sick, if this old and is still 2 stars it was good.

Dawat is NOT a Halal Restaurant. I wanted to order food via UberEats, so I called Dawat restaurant to confirm if they are halal. The customer service said its halal, we asked about halal seal and company but they just said its completely halal whether we order chicken, beef or lamb. We were about to order when we heard someone in the background saying they're not sure and "I dont know". So I asked to talk with the manager and the lady gave it to another person who said everything is halal. We asked if they have a halal certification and they said no. Hmm a big red flag, as halal restaurants have certificates on the front wall. Later he said he's new and so he does not know and the Manager is too busy so we cannot speak with them. They hung up when I asked them to clarify, upon calling again they said they will call us back once they ask the Owner. At last we talked with the Owner, who said that they do have a certification but it is expired and that she does not know where the meat comes from. Beware of such restaurants that claim their food is halal but nobody knows where the meat is coming from and no certification, but everyone in this restaurant is trained to say its halal??? This is very serious matter, stop deceiving customers.

Foods gone downhill big time, Been going here for years since deep and her husband owned the restaurant 10 years ago. It was the best food in the city. Even the second owners were okay but not quite like them, anyways..since they owned We went back lots after the second owner even. And now onto the 3rd owner and nothing is the same at all. :( we were pretty disappointed with the flavours and the drastic changes to the loved recipes we knew. We had the buffet to go and I couldn’t even eat it 47$ I wasted I suppose. We moved out of town and haven’t been here for a bit and since then It’s changed and I’m unimpressed. We won’t be back and we’re loyal customers it really breaks my heart to write anything bad about one of my old Favorite spots in Edmonton I would consider bringing the butter chicken back to original recipe and style for one and bring back the basic loved items in buffet. Chef options are great but also not always consistent. One thing I will say is that the people working were all nice and friendly. I wish the best going forward.

I, Nellie had a delicious meal at Daawat Authentic Indian restaurant on April 4, 2023. I am pleased to inform people who enjoy East Indian cuisine will not regret going to this restaurant for many reasons .The owner, Mr. Raj is very hardworking and providing an excellent menu items that are very delicious and presented to the customers in a timely manner. The dining area and other areas are not only kept clean but welcoming to everybody who walks in. Sashi and two other cooks, Angela, manager, Praveena assistant manager are providing excellent customer service. What is unique about this restaurant? Mouth watering, aromatic well prepared meals with herbs and served with joy and respect day in and day out. I wish Raj, Angela, Praveena, Sashi and 3 other hard working cooks in 2023 and years to follow. They have big TV screens to watch Hockey , other sports and a bar while enjoying their aromatic , mouthwatering dishes. I ate at this restaurant many times and left with gratitude and joy.

We are going there very frequently but this time to be honest, the worst experience I’ve ever had. Firstly, talking about Customer service, we ordered naan twice, waited for like 25-30mins for our naan and it never came up, everything got cold by then. Even went to the counter to get some takeout containers, the old lady Prabina, she banged her hand twice when we complained about our food never came to the table. They could have done better for sure but I guess don’t wanted to in regards to customer service. Food was average and end up not even eating our food. She was so rude when we pay cash, never even wanted to apologize for not getting the food on the table, she knew we barely eat anything and making a disguised face when we complained about it. Never ever coming back to this place.

This has been my favorite Indian restaurant since I found it. I love it. The base spiciness is high on some items and lower on others. I love that though. They have really good naan. Their Dal Masoor is an amazing dish. Med (regular) spicy is perfect. It's a lentil dish. Bhindi Masala is a great veg dish. I always get that high spice. Med is good too. Saffron rice is always a good compliment to the spicy food. Beef Mughlai is a very spicy dish, very tasty too. Chicken curry is good. The Chicken korma is a nice creamy dish. If you want a bit more spicy get it high spiciness. Med is pretty mild. They have a fair price for the quality and quantity of food

Honestly this place is amazing. I have ordered from here over a dozen times and can easily say I will order another 2 dozen more times. Excellent food every time. Always hot & fresh! If you love Indian cuisine, I highly recommend you check this place out. Even my Indian friends know of this place and love it as well! So do yourself a favor - check them out. Let me know what you think! Be prepared for heat if you order the vindaloo though, they do not hold back. :)

I went here today today with a friend of mine and we ordered veg platter and the owner came to us and if we want to try their special momos,we were already so full so we refused He insisted us to try it and we don’t have to pay for this, I thought it was be 1-2 samples but he brought the whole plate of 10 I just had 1 and 9 of them were left in plate cuz it was spicy for me, later when it was time to pay he charged me the price of whole plate which was 15 something Had really bad experience, we asked to pack the platter I ordered cuz I couldn’t finish it, he took the plate but left it on the main counter open for 10-12 min before he packed it,had to throw it

UPDATE: I've said it before so I'll say it again...BEST VEGGIE KORMA!!!! Every time I order from this restaurant I am never disappointed. And yes their pudding is still a treat I look forward to every time I order. :) I've only recently placed an order through Skip from this restaurant. I didn't have high expectations as I rarely do when it comes to Korma lol. However my food arrived pretty hot and they included rice pudding with my meal. It was the best rice pudding I ever tasted. And I don't say that lightly as I love rice pudding. I am giving them a 5 star because the food was delicious, it was fast and arrived hot. The Korma was again delicious. The only recommendation I would make is maybe including a naan with the Korma. One day I would like to visit the restaurant in person.

This was a nice quiet restaurant for a Saturday evening but there was a lot of delivery and take out. We had the butter chicken with medium heat but wasn't spicy at all and same with my paneer combo. My paneer sauce kinda tasted canny but once mixed with my rice you couldn't tell. The butter chicken didn't taste canny at all. The meals were very good although could have been spicier. Will return to this place as the portions were a nice size and wasn't overly priced. There was a piece of pickled mango in my combo which was absolutely delicious, very sour with a bit of tang/spice. I'm a huge fan of pickled stuff, next time I'll order a full order of it. The staff were a bit quiet but very friendly and attentive and got the job done. You must check it out!

The food is too bad. Any other place in Edmonton serves better food than this. I tried vegetable Manchuria, chill momos, paneer makhani, vindaloo and naans. The paneer makhani was so so sweet literally felt like eating gravy with sugar. The vindaloo was overly seasoned, I expected it to be spicy but it wasn’t spicy but it had some over powered seasoning.

I had not eaten at any of their locations for quite some time. I ordered veggie korma and coconut rice. Absolutely delish. Tasty, spiced perfectly, creamy and so so good. Portions were amazing and large. I ate my fill and had enough to enjoy as much as had for dinner. Great place just a few doors from the old commercial hotel. I would highly recommend this for anyone enjoying this type of food. Way better then some of the other Indian food chains. Atmosphere is very pleasant and clean, modern. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Very good dining experience.

Went for the buffet shortly after opening time this evening and unfortunately most of the dishes were lukewarm at best. Saffron rice was not hot, nor was the palak paneer—though the chef's special was hot and very tasty. My friend ordered veggie korma from the menu and it quite obviously was made with frozen veggie mix from a bag, which is not really what I expect when we're paying restaurant prices. The flavour of all of the food was good, and the service was courteous and attentive, so this was really a mixed experience. Had the buffet been hot, and the korma made with fresh veggies, this would have been a 4 or 5 star meal. Unfortunately, it was a mediocre visit.

I never had this experience before so what happened, I decided to try a new restaurant so I Uber eats from this restaurant butter chicken and garlic naan. Unfortunately, the garlic naans were not well cooked as you can see in the photos. Some kind of stones were stick to the naans and they were so sticky. And talking about the butter chicken taste it tasted so absurd! The sides of chicken pieces turned almost black guys! never order from this restaurant again because I don’t think so they work in a hygienic way. I almost vomited after having 2-3 bites.

Yesterday, I had a really bad experience in Dawat. There was a long hair inside the beef. Then we called a waiter who served our food, then he took off one plate and the beef. We had to call him again to give another plate which he forgot. Then he came with only with beef and no sign of the rice. We had to order rice again and wait for long time. Then in the end we called him and came to know that he is the owner of the restaurant and there was no experienced waiter, as a result owner was working as a waiter. I wish to give this experience 0 star. I will never go to this restaurant again in this life. Behave 5/10 Food Quality 5/10 Customer Satisfaction 2/10

Dawaat used to be in a different location on Whyte Avenue and was a popular Indian buffet. Since moving further along Whyte Avenue, the atmosphere has changed. It is now more of a dim bar with blue neon-type light in the bar area. Bar music. It seems that they are now focusing on the late-night bar crowd on Whyte Ave. As a senior, this is not for me. The take-out food was good and bar maids were friendly. Street parking on busy Whyte Avenue is hit and miss. I wish them success but will start looking for another Indian buffet. I have taken them off my list of preferred locations for Indian food.

Ordered through Uber eats today. My order number was #61343. One of the items we ordered was veg vindalloo. I still can’t tell if this was serious or a joke. The dish was inhumanely spicy. I took one spoon and my lips and mouth started burning. My nose and eyes started watering.Even after drinking water and applying ice on my lips it burnt for half an hour. Someone please tell me this was a joke. I am Indian btw I can handle spice and eat chilly just like that.This dish felt like they have just dumped a box of chilly in it. There was no salt no nothing just burn. Ended up eating instant noodles for dinner. Thank you Daawat.

Excellent customer service. However, the food that i ordered was not as expected. I ordered chicken mo: mo:, the stuffing in it was not as it were supposed to be. Overwhelming quantity of spices (specially chilly powder), disproportionate amount of other spices shadowed the actual taste of the chicken and overall food. I would not recommend the mo: mo: from this place to anyone as it would completely change the authenticity of it for the ones who have not tried it before. As a well wisher, i would like to suggest owner and chef to workout on the receipe. I wish to eat authentic mo: mo: someday at this place. All the best!!

This is the second time changing my reviews for daawat and this time for better. I didn't know about the restaurant till november 2019, even though I live couple of yards away. I visited it sometime in November the first time. I really liked their biriyani, noodles and kodai gosht. I went there for 5 more times and the food started getting worse and worse. So I stopped eating or ordering at all from here. Last month I tried their food twice and have to say they have changed themselves to something worth a good review. The food seems consistent now and the quantity beats any other Indian restaurant on Whyte ave.

We ordered 2 Chicken Tikka for $16.95 each and 2 orders of Naan bread. Well, firstly the sauce spilled all over the bag so that was not a good first impression. Secondly, the portions were so small, and barely any chicken. The chicken was very dry and had no flavor. I only ate 2 pieces and discarded the rest. We were at least expecting a decent amount of food for the price we paid. but seriously why charge so much for just 5-6 pieces of dry chicken, was extremely disappointed. I was so frustrated and upset that wasn't able to take no pictures.

Last night we ordered butter chicken, chicken curry, 3 orders of garlic naan, and 1 order of roti. The entire order was disappointing and not edible as the curry was bland, tasteless, and greasy. The butter chicken did not look like or taste remotely what butter chicken should taste like. The naan was not fully cooked and was tough to chew and was tasteless. The entire order ended up in the garbage. Very disappointed and will not be ordering from this restaurant again.

Food was awful, chicken was undercooked and the same for naan . Waisted my money. I never recommend this to anyone. We go out to have good food but never expected anything like this. They have to check what they are cooking for their customers. I’m posting my bill. I paid full amount and please rather to fight with your customers go and talk to you staff how are they serving the food and how many time do they go and ask customer If they like food or not. One more thing if people get good food and service they Will sure appreciate.

Our experience was terrible. We ordered dawat khazana which mentions chicken, lamb and kebabs. We thought each item will be separate. However to our surprise all items came together in one single box and on the top of these items there were fish also. The dawat khazana never had fish in it. I request them not to fool people by doing this. What if I do not eat fish. I seriously wish a better service. In their defense when I called them about it they offered me the same dish as described in the menu. But it was late for dinner.

Food was terrific and reasonably priced. I loved the spices of the Nepalese dish I had and will be going back sooner than later. I think they are trying to cater to everyone (wings and beer specials) but their traditional foods are exemplary.

I was disappointed to see meters on Calgary trail so ended up parking by Royal Pizza. Do not park at Shoppers as you will be ticketed.

Ok so the food was great, cannot lie. But I asked for takeout container and the woman said they aren’t allowed to give them out . I spent $50 and ate inside . The waitress pulled out the container and hid it saying she can’t give it away . I’m sorry but if your bosses are so controlling they won’t allow take out containers that is bad for business. Not the best Indian food like new Asian village but the waitress seemed scared from managers or Owners . Do not abuse your staff will not be coming back

Do not eat here; the owners and servers refused to honour discount vouchers and have to go through a lot of hoops to get extra charges refunded. The discount purchased clearly stated the price for 2 dinner buffet is $36, not $46. Kudos to GoAsAGroup for dealing with it promptly but the restaurant was only willing to give 1 free buffet as compensation at first. Unfortunately, we do not plan to eat here ever in the future. Finally, the restaurant reluctantly refunded us of the extra charges.

We have enjoyed the excellent food from Daawat for years. They have recently moved to a new location on Whyte ave in the heart of old Strathcona. Our most recent experience was a delicious take out dinner. They have an extensive menu but we most enjoy the classic Punjabi dishes such as curry chicken, aloo gobi and their assortment of dals. Yummy.

The gravy in our chilli chicken was literally salted cornflour slurry... the chicken biryani was average to taste and after 4 to 5 hours after eating it, be ready for multiple bathroom visits. It upset our stomach and gave us acidity. The curd which was served with the biryani was so so sour. There is an old lady at the restaurant who continuously had an angry expression on her face and it was a turn off. Overall, we had a not-so-good experience... wouldn't recommend anyone...

Ordered online. When i arrived they hadn’t seen my order on their computer. Made it for me while I waited in about 3-4 mins… which is concerning. Probably just quickly warmed up. Roti tasted like it was defrosted, crumbly and not fresh. Tawa chicken was very mediocre. Lots of tomato&onion sauce and about 3 pieces of chicken. Oily and not very flavourful. I was hungry and ate it, but I wouldn’t order again ever. Not good for Indian people looking for quality Indian food.

We got a group on for this place and figured we would try it out. We are big fans of Indian food and like to try new places all the time. I can say for sure this is one we will not be coming back to. Every single buffet item was so watery there was no flavour. Even the rice pudding was liquid with a bit of rice. I even found a hair in my food! I alerted the waiter and they did nothing about it. Good thing I had a groupon or I would not have paid for this meal.

The service and atmosphere of the restaurant is good. After they moved to a new location, the ambience is astounding but the food is terrible. The chicken Biryani you find here is not authentic. And no one would add tamarind in chicken Biryani and that won't get the authentic taste of biryani. I would request you to correct your recipe and surely you will improve the sales since you are at a prime location

Got brought here for my birthday, food was good and service was prompt and friendly. They also had a decent selection of drinks. I thought the food was actually pretty good for the price and it was reasonably flavorful. It's tough to strike a balance between people who are used to spicy foods and those who are not and I think they do their best to strike that balance. The naan was really good and so was the gulab jamun. The other dishes were decent as well.

Very poor service . Lack of knowledge about service , food and this people know nothing about hospitality and Customer service . Food is just okey . Not good , not bad . Table and chairs were not clean . Very hard to get a parking I won’t recommend to try this place to anybody. I was dissatisfied. Won’t come back again .

I ordered takeout last night and was extremely disappointed. The food was terribly bland, as far as Indian food goes. And the value for money portion size was an outrage. For 15 dollars, when I opened my order of butter chicken, there were literally 5 small chunks of chicken in it. That's 3 dollars a chunk. My order of naan bread for 4 dollars was literally one piece. Even if I win the lottery, I will sill not order from this restaurant again.

First impression walking in was "hmmmmm shouldn't it smell absolutely incredible in here?", then as you walk further in it smells delicious! The buffet was tasty and different foods offered different levels if spice. Lamb, beef and chicken dishes as well as lots of vegetarian too. If you like beer there is a huge selection of local and foreign. If I am in town again I would go. Cost for 3 adults and 1 child was 80... Reasonable in my opinion.

Ordered food through skip the dishes. Taste and spice level were accommodated properly. laccha paruntha Was top notch flavour and crisp level. Only there was too much if stuffing in the aloo naan it was going all over while eating. Must include spoons without asking or requesting as sometime it is hard to find folks and knives when at work only these teo factors brought it to 4 stars but else it deserves 5

I dined at this newly opened East Indian restaurant today, Veena, one of the staff served me with a yummy Fish dish. Veena is kind, professional, honest, genuine, and hardworking. The owner greeted all his incoming customers and welcomed his guests with respect and made them feel at home. Their menu meets many palates, The restaurant is clean, warm and welcoming to its patrons. It is worth your time and effort dining at this restaurant

Did not enjoy the flavours and the food made us sick. Butter chicken was so sweet it tasted like it had been made with ketchup, and the meat was over cooked and inedible. The roti and naan were hard and inedible as well. The Chana masala was decent, but unfortunately in under an hour after eating we were violently ill. Try elsewhere.

I wish i could give them a ZERO star for this restaurant.. they are not following Groupon coupon as it never says you have to buy two main dish in order to redeem this in fine print..but restaurant force you to buy two main dish. Moreover their food is absolute GARBAGE..we order paneer pasanda and mix veg sabji and they made both in same readymade cheap gravy . DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM HERE.

Ordered Aloo gobi around 11:30 at night the person who took the order was great I just asked him to make it little curry base because aloo gobi is usually very dry but since I requested him he did such an amazing job I am not sure if he was the chef. Even the veg samosas and butter roti was very tasty. Forgot to ask his name will definitely come back for aloo gobi and some more other dishes.

Absolutely atrocious. Butter chicken tasted like mango pulp. This will be my first and last time ordering. Very disappointed as they claim to be authentic yet I’ve had better microwaveable pre packaged butter chicken in the stores. Goodbye

We have visited this place many times over the years enjoying the buffet as there is always a good variety. However we ordered for delivery and found the coconut naan burned and dry with no honey, the sauce for the butter chicken thin as water. I have tried to be a faithful customer but due to the sever drop in quality I don’t think I’ll return.

Ordered “Chicken” noodles but instead they sent veg noodles, even when i paid extra for it. How Fun!! Plus who put whole veggies and not to mention cauliflower, it’s more beans than noodles, hello I ordered noodles not mixed vegetables. Not recommended at all. P.s. the carrot still had the dirty peel on it. Self- service i guess!

Good food, decent service. Coconut Naan was amazing! I'm not a regular consumer of Indian cuisine, so I don't have a lot to compare this with. Found the food good with moderate flavour. Not a lot of spice, even on the dish that was labelled spicy. I would consider it to be quite accessible for those who haven't had a lot of Indian food before.

I ordered kadai chicken. Normally I don't like writing negative reviews unless it's really bad. I am writing this to help you improve. The amount of oil in the kadai made kadai not edible. It was more like deep fried kadai. I ended up ordering from another place. Best of luck

I have eaten in Daawat many times since 2009. The service is amazing. The waiters are really friendly. And the food I order from the menu is awesome and to my liking, i.e.: Indian spicy. When I first started eating Indian food 20 years back, I found it much too hot. But by 2001, I got used to it and now, I love Indian food!

ORDER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! Ordered my food through skip the dishes yesterday June 27th and all seemed nice until this afternoon June 28th when I took a bite of my rice and there were staples in my rice. WTH dawaat?? This is completely unacceptable. What do you have to say about this? Why are there staples in my Biriyani?

Ordered take out so I can't speak for the staff or service, but the food is probably the worst Indian food I've ever had. The sauce that the paneer was in tasted like store bought tomato paste. Also, the naan left much to be desired. Even the simple plain rice wasn't cooked well. Would never recommend here to anyone.

I love Daawat! I eat here on a regular basis and I usually go for the dinner buffet. They have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options and the food is delicious. The service is always great and they have a pretty extensive beer selection! This place is super busy during the dinner rush but the buffet is so worth it!

Preorder and went to pick up my meal. I had great customer service, enjoyed everything I ordered. The sweethearts that work their, gave me a free treat to enjoy. Unbelievably thoughtful!!! Definitely going to be a long time customer. Send your friends and family there! They will have a wonderful experience …

Every time my friends and I go to celebrate our March birthdays the staff spoil us!!! That is why we always go and also because the buffet is tasty, reasonable and both temperature and spicy hot!!! My boys love the Naan bread and every time we turn around another basket is brought to our table. Thank you

I would Recommend coming here for lunch or dinner. I had the Channa Bhatura it was really good nice and fresh with spices

Average experience. Tried balti chicken and naan with paneer makhni. The ambience is good but the customer service and food quality is not upto the mark. Just like an average place to have indian food, but is like overrated.

I went to this restaurant a week ago to have dinner with my friends. What I saw there was, a naan felt on floor from the server and they served it to the customer without replacing it. I felt bad for that innocent customer eating it. Pls, charge a little extra but don’t serve bad food.

Reviews seem to be all over the park on this so I’ll clarify for those who want the truth. If you want cheap/cold beer and mind-blowing curry then give this place a shot. I haven’t eaten like this since I stopped travelling. Do it.

Food was good , they really have a good environment. I ordered Chiken malai tikka with butter num and lamb birayani.tikka was delicious, birayani was good but some of them were burned ,still taste good .7 out of 10 . Really a good place for Deshi people dates

The restaurant has a friendly and warm atmosphere. The staff are very pleasant and the dishes are wonderful. Large selection on the buffet for vegetarian with classic meat options too. Our family very much enjoys coming here. They also offer great groupons

Ordered dawat khazana on last week. The chicken was freezer burned and its taste was awful. Also other Kabab was not good and most of them were taste older.

I had a groupon and my son was craving butter chicken. We ordered that plus another dish with rice and naan. Wow. I haven't tasted really good butter chicken like that in a long time! My son and I will be back again for sure!

We ordered handi biryani for my friends birthday. The taste was amazing and the quantity was more than enough. The biryani rice was flavored perfectly and the chicken was soft and tasty. We definitely recommend the restaurant

I came here with some coworkers for the lunch buffet which was quite nice. The restaurant is cozy and the buffet had a wide selection of food. The staff were very attentive and we all felt like we got our money's worth.

Came here once and fell in love with the place and customer service! Workers are very welcoming. FOOD there is AMAZING. Definitely would recommend if you’re in the area !

I read the one star reviews and I think they're all lier's. This place has great value and it's delicious - make sure to order something you have never tried before here! Great proportions. Thanks you!!!

I wish i can choose 0 star rating because employees working there have very bad attitude they don’t know how to behave with customers. Please try other restaurants to have better experience.

A culinary delight awaits you at this fine authentic Indian restaurant! Most importantly the potions are not only delicious, but they are also generous! Great value for your Dollar ☺️.

I had samosa , tandoori chicken and rogan josh. Samosa layer is chewy but Rogan josh outstanding

The spices were just right and our orders were served fairly quickly! Really tasty, will definitely try again. We had paneer tikka masala and chana batura!

Worst Indian food I have eaten. Butter chicken is incredibly sweet and chicken overcooked. Raita is watered down. Very disappointed
