An Indian restaurant on Streatfield Road in Queensbury which specialises in parathas, a type of Indian stuffed flatbread. It is 100% vegetarian.

There are many parathas on offer all at about the £4 or £4.50 mark. They all come with chhole, maa-ki-daal, raita and pickle on a metal tray. They also sell some South Indian food such as dosas which come with sumbhar and fresh coconut chutney. They had some Chinese food and some pizza. secretlondon was informed that Indian Chinese food is spicier than the English variety.

secretlondon visited for a Twitter meet one Saturday in April 2009. She missed the starters and had a muli (radish) and paneer paratha (£4.50) photo, a mango lassi (£2.95), a sweetened lime juice (£2.75) photo, a cheese dosa (£4.25) photo (as she was still hungry) and two pieces of rasmalai (£2.75) photo for dessert. The food was fun but I didn't find it particularly filling.

The selection of non-alchoholic drinks was extensive and interesting. They are also licenced but no-one sampled.

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

Accessibility: There was one small step to enter and no further steps inside, including to the toilets.
