There are many parathas on offer, all at about the £4 or £4.50 mark (as of April 2009). They all come on a metal tray with chhole (chickpeas in a spiced sauce), maa-ki-daal (black lentils cooked in a rich tomato/cream/butter sauce), raita, and pickle. Some South Indian food is also on offer, such as dosas, which come with sumbhar (thin spiced vegetable stew) and fresh coconut chutney. The menu also includes some Chinese food as well as pizza. [[secretlondon]] was informed that Indian Chinese food is spicier than the English variety. |

[[secretlondon]] visited for a Twitter meet on a Saturday in April 2009. I missed out on the starters, but had a muli (radish) and paneer paratha (£4.50) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3412353764/ photo]</small> followed by a cheese dosa (£4.25) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3412347224/ photo]</small> (since I was still hungry after the paratha), and finished off with two pieces of ras malai (£2.75) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3412344502/ photo]</small> for dessert. The food was fun but I didn't find it particularly filling. |

There was a television round the corner with music from bollywood movies on. You can hear from elsewhere in the restaurant but if you want to see you need to make sure you are in that part of the restaurant. |
