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.

The food was fun but I didn't find it particularly filling.

There was a television round the corner from where we were sitting, playing music from Bollywood movies. You can hear it from elsewhere in the restaurant, but if you want to see it you need to make sure you're in the right part of the restaurant.
