Lively Indian small-plates bar with solid curries and creative cocktails at moderate prices, but expect occasional service hiccups, small portions, and stock-outs.
This cocktail bar and Indian restaurant delivers solid neighborhood appeal through reliable food quality anchored by standout curries and biryani, paired with attentive, friendly service. Occasional consistency dips—overdone items, modest portions, and periodic service slowdowns—prevent it from reaching grade A territory, though the cozy setting, creative cocktails, and genuine kids menu make it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants. Worth visiting if you enjoy sharing plates and don't mind ordering multiple dishes to satisfy hunger.
Tucked just off Princes Street, this spot blends Indian small plates with a proper cocktail bar vibe. The room feels cozy and welcoming, with music and friendly servers who often guide first-timers through the menu. One diner summed it up: "The biryani was outstanding and the naan had that perfect crisp edge." It is not polished fine dining, but a relaxed neighborhood hangout where platters and curries anchor the evening, and the bar keeps things lively without overwhelming conversation. In the kitchen, the cooking leans classic North Indian with Indo‑Chinese flourishes like Gobi Manchurian and Chilli Chicken. Butter Chicken, Rogan Josh, and the various biryanis draw the most praise, while sharing platters let you graze through kebabs and wings. Expect a small-plates cadence and order two to three dishes if you are hungry. Prices are moderate for the area, and flavors are generally robust; occasional missteps—an overdone lamb chop or sameness across a trio of curries—do crop up, but most plates land well. Families should find it manageable: there is a genuine kids section with nuggets, fish fingers, and ice cream alongside milder curries and rice. The bar setting is more spirited in the evening, so earlier hours are best for little ones. Portions skew modest due to the sharing format; pairing a biryani with a side can keep younger diners happy without surprising add-ons.
