Indian restaurant on King Street in [[Locale Hammersmith|Hammersmith]].

[[Kake]], [[bob]], and Matthew visited on a Wednesday evening in August 2009.  It was fairly full when we arrived.  We hadn't booked, and had a couple of large bits of luggage with us, so there was a small kerfuffle over where to fit us; they eventually put us in the tented-over garden bit out the back.

A complimentary musk melon and mint shot arrived shortly after we sat down, which was a nice touch and quite refreshing.

Matthew's malai tikka (&pound;5.25) was flavourful and moist, and came with a tasty green coriander sauce for dipping.  [[bob]]'s calamari (&pound;6.50) was very good, cooked just right (and bob is very fussy about his squid).  [[Kake]]'s mussel rasam (&pound;6.50) was also very good, with just the right balance of hot, sweet, and sour in the rasam.

Mains and sides were equally good.  Karwari fish (&pound;9.50) was perfectly judged; although the fish used was a mild and delicate one, it wasn't at all overcooked.  Tadka dal (&pound;4.50) had a great smoky flavour, and baingan and makai bharta (aubergine/sweetcorn mash, &pound;6) was mild yet flavourful, with a nice contrast of textures.

Service was friendly if a little oversolicitous; different waiters kept turning up every five minutes to ask us if everything was OK.

A commenter on this page tells us that in August 2009 they paid around &pound;90 for two starters, three main courses, and three drinks, and thought the food was decent tasting but the sol kadi was a bit too sweet.

[[Kake]]'s verdict: I very much want to go back.  I want to go back several times.  I want to order the mussel rasam again, and I also want to try every other fish/seafood dish on the menu.  It almost makes me wish I still lived in Hammersmith.
