The attentive and friendly service enhances the overall dining experience, though some reviews mention slow service during peak times. Despite occasional issues with speed, the quality of the food and welcoming atmosphere make it a highly recommended spot.
"Nice atmosphere, exceptional food and really friendly service. The butter chicken is to die for. Naan melts in the mouth. Masala chips were fantastic. The momo dumplings and prawn piri starters were bursting with flavour. Only downside was it was it was a challenge to get the attention of the lad taking orders so we could ask for more drinks. Other than that, perfect."

"I dined here at the end of March. Our reservation was for 6:30pm on a Saturday. We arrived on time but our orders weren’t taken for 20mins. Starters were served 40mins after that and we waited another 40mins for our mains.
When the food arrived, sadly most of the our dishes weren’t worth the wait.
The best part of the meal was the non-veg thali meal.
Service was extremely slow even when the restaurant wasn’t busy to being with.
When you pay the bill, carefully check each item because they had added an extra item to our list! Possibly a mistake (hard to tell as this was our first visit)."
Harini Boraluwa
"This is the best Nepal restaurant ever. My second time comes, and the food quality is good as always. I went to dishoom last week, some similar dish, but just cannot compete with this one. Highly recommend. Also the service is very very good, environment very fine dining as well."
