"Food was outstanding, excellent flavours/ spices. I've been fortunate to experience Indian cuisine in the UK, Canada, and the US... the food can compete with the best.
Absolutely loved the mutton dishes."

"I can say one of the good Indian restaurant in Victoria Island, Lagos. Food is really good and the prices are good compared to other places. And portion sizes are good compared to the price.
Variety of foods are there like, Indian, Nigerian, Chinese and Continental cuisine.
Restaurant is very old and needs some renovation including the furniture and washrooms. But they maintain the cleanliness.
Service is ok ok. Not that fast and friendly. But for the food you must visit.
Liked their Khucuri so much 😋"

"Food is good. However the wait time is soooo long that it becomes hard to enjoy the food at the end. Our starter / appetizer came 30 after the waitress took our order. Another 20 min for our main dish to arrive. The management needs to work on this aspect.
We ordered both the chaats. We liked the samosa chaat chat better than the papri chat. Portion size is big compared with the price. They need to go less with the onion. Both of them had plenty.
Main dish was ok. Our mutton could have been served in a big bowl rather than the small one which felt like it was crammed in there. Both the naan and ruti were good. We expected the naan to be softer snd fluffier but the taste was ok.
Staff were very prompt in taking order and cleaning after our starter. One hygiene issue is they need to bring the plates not touching their body. They literally hold the plates against their body and bring it over. Oh lord ! Please don’t do that.
Another point is that they need to be more welcoming and cheery."
