[[secretlondon]] visited on a Saturday evening in May 2009. I had a large thali (&pound;8.50) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3495069348/ photo]</small> and a bottle of fizzy sarsaparilla (&pound;1.75?). There was also tap water on the counter. The thali wasn't spicy and consisted of rice, salad, dhal, and three other dishes. There were also poppadoms on the counter to take. They say it is eat as much as you want, but it isn't a buffet; I presume you can rejoin the queue and go for seconds. The bean dish was nice and the salad contained asparagus. They obviously don't have any alcohol but also don't have any caffeine. Decaffeinated coffee is available, and herbal teas.

I think there were also tables outside.

Accessibility: The toilets are down some stairs.
