Food
After the initially poppadom and salad, it wasn’t too long before our starters arrived. As usual, they were excellent. I just had to order the Seekh Kebab again, and they didn’t disappoint. What I liked even more though, were the Shami Kebab, which is only available on Wednesdays. I think these were flat disks of mince meat and some sort of pulse, but with killer seasoning. Fried to golden on the outside, while remaining soft and gooey on the inside. The rest of the mixed grill, Tandoori Chicken and Lamb Chop just paled in comparison. I was disappointed that the breads: Tandoori Pratha, Tandoori Roti, Tandoori Nan and Peswari Nan arrived so early though. It meant that it was all cold by the time the mains arrived.
We ordered from a huge mix, and they were all plonked on the table, so that I had no idea what was what. All I know is we ordered the following, and they all tasted great…but after awhile, I couldn’t tell the different flavours apart. Maybe curry in a big group is not such a great area afterall…
- Karahi Ghost (lamb)
- Karahi Chicken
- Bhindi Meat
- Chana Meat
- Dhall Karela
- Karahi Bindi (Okra)
- Mughal Korma

Atmosphere
It doesn’t matter what day and what time you come to this place, it’s always really crowded and a huge line. This time we booked, but we weren’t allowed to go to our table until our whole party was here. After waiting for 15 minutes and begging them to sit down, they said we could, but only on the condition that we order straight away.

Service
As usual really quick on everything, and even before we were really finished, they took everything away and gave us the bill…a clear sign that they want to turn over the table for someone else to use.
