We've eaten here several times and will keep coming back. Most of the dishes here have a freshly ground spice flavour, i.e. they have not been overcooked or lazily cooked. The dishes taste authentic. We always have the Daal Makhani as it's particularly good. Last night we tried the Lamb Ra Ra which was excellent. They cater to Gluten free and also dairy free people here. The interior is not very intimate or romantic, but the food and friendly service make up for this, and they've also made some changes recently, which do help give the place a warmer cosier feel.

Unfortunately it wasn’t a great experience, I gifted a friend a high tea experience and from the beginning she said things just didn’t go how they should. Their reservation was never recorded so when they arrived they were told there was no such booking, it took 3 attempts for someone to take their Tea order and the Gluten free food was far less then expected. She said the food she received was very nice so that’s a plus it was more around the whole experience. Thank you

As a coeliac I love this place. Of all the starters and mains only 3 are NOT gluten free. So many restaurants are the opposite. Coeliac aside, the food is delicious. I come to Christchurch infrequently for work but the consistency of the food here is impeccable. And the service is always warm and welcoming. Recommend this place to all. Very reasonably priced as well Eat in or takeaway.....up to you. Either way, enjoy!!!!

Some of the most boating Indian I’ve ever had. The fish tikka wasn’t. It was just tandoori chicken and the fish amritsari was a fish pakora. Pretty sure the onion barji that the wait staff swore was gluten free isn’t, so pass on these if it counts for you

I have strict dietary requirements and asked the chef 👨‍🍳 if he can make a gluten-free option ( Missi Roti ) for me. They don’t have it on the menu, but he made it on request and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place for Indian cuisine.
