Food: Our favourite item was the Chicken Samosa Chaat 🤤. I also enjoyed the Hakka Chilli Paneer but N wasn’t a fan as he found the paneer quite rubbery and tough to chew. For mains, we ordered the Railway Lamb Curry and Pulusu Chicken, which were both okay but didn’t blow us away.. the curries tasted alot more like Bangladeshi curries rather than Indian.
Service: It was really busy on the night that we went so it was quite hard to catch the attention of staff.

Roti Chai

Stumbled across this place, and it looked good with a small queue waiting to go in.

Couldn’t get a table for the upstairs street food area, so opted for a table in the slightly more formal dining room downstairs.

First impressions were good, with a relaxed moody vibe. I had a beer at the bar then was led to my table.

I went for the garlic prawn starter which came out very quickly, but somehow was lukewarm. Tasted ok.

My main of slow cooked lamb in a saffron sauce took much longer. It was ok, but nothing special. There wasn’t much lamb, and what was there was too fatty for me.
Rice was lumped together, and the roti was too well done (more like a poppadum).

The longer I was there, the worse the service became. After asking for the bill 3 times, I got a card machine shoved in my face.

The Bombay Bicycle beer was good though.

I won’t go back, which is a shame as the venue looks great, but the food and service don’t match up.

I’ve visited this restaurant many times, and it’s always my go-to spot for quick Indian food, especially the street food upstairs. On my last visit, I tried the fine dining area downstairs, and it was just as enjoyable, with slightly bigger portions. The photos I’ve shared are from both upstairs and downstairs, showing different menus, and both experiences were excellent. I love this restaurant its always accommodating

Had a lovely time here for dinner (tried their Diwali menu which was such a great deal) - our waiter Zafar was very kind and helpful (particularly grateful for his off-the-menu mango colada, which should be on the menu ASAP!) highly recommend for a good meal and night out :))

Happened upon this place when looking for a not-too-heavy lunch. Smelled amazing from outside, and we were not disappointed. As vegetarians, we had lots of options - choosing pani puri, malai paneer, sabz biryani, tarka daal, and portions of naan and roti to share between two. All truly delicious, with great service. Highly recommend.

I came here today by chance as we were looking for a nice Indian lunch to have that was not too heavy. We walked in and were greeted by a lovely lady who sat us in a booth. The offered us menus and the options were amazing. I’m a vegetarian but my husband is not and there were options for all. We ended up ordering the Pani Puri, the Papdi Chaat and the Aloo Ghobi Mattar with some rice. The flavour of the aloo ghobi was a perfect combination of spicy and depth of flavours without being too chili hot. I loved it. The pani puri was fabulous and the mint dressing with it was outstanding and serving was generous! The papdi chaat was fabulous as well. The servers were lovely, attentive and kind! We had Jeena serve us this afternoon and she explained things clearly and described the dishes perfectly helping me choose what I wanted! As you can see, while I’m no food critique with my words, this is the best I can do… if only my tastebuds could speak!
