My husband and I visited this evening for the first time and we were blown away by the food quality and price. We walked away over-full with a box of leftovers and felt it was such good value. We had a wide range of food, the dip with the poppadum-style dish was insanely good and the dosa was amazing. My husband had a veg handi which was delicious, the flavours were so rich and layered! I’ve only given a 3 for atmosphere as there weren’t many people in there, but I don’t understand why! Service was immaculate. We were checked on many times and given some recommendations on what to get. 100% will be back and bringing people. Thank you for a lovely evening Yantra

This little restaurant does super authentic, home cooked food, super friendly and welcoming to kids as well as adults. Plenty of space around tables to move in the space. Good drink options and so many delicious food choices. It's not pretentious, formal or stuffy just prettily decorated but totally focused on the food. Highly recommended. Absolutely lovely.

Lovely place to try Indian Street Food in the area. Good food and great music. Jay talks so well and was fantastic with the service. Would definitely go back very soon. (Extra points for offering us a ride back home after our late night dinner at Yatra).

Absolutely delicious food, very friendly service and great value. I had the samosa chaat, which was so delicious and the masala dosa was great too. I was the only person eating in so it was a bit quiet (and it was also quite early), but seemed to be popular for takeaway.

The food is very good, and now you can eat in and be served on real china and steel cutlery. The vegan Masala Dosa and the Lunch Box are my favourites dishes, but there are many other vegan dishes on the menu. There is power and Wi-Fi which on my laptop uses. I can park my bicycle outside.

The perfect place for an eat-in Indian casual meal. The food is well-prepared and staff extremely friendly. The only glitch during my visit was the long wait (45 minutes), and the staff said it was because a colleague was on sick leave. Will give them another chance.

This is my favourite Indian eatery in the local area as it serves dosas and chaat (Indian Street food dishes) which are very moreish... All served to order and very reasonably priced... Wonderfully delicious menu on offer and things you must try are the dosas which are a thin batter-based pancake originating from South India, made from a fermented batter predominantly consisting of lentils and rice (usually the ingredients are rice and black gram, ground together in a fine, smooth batter with a dash of salt, then fermented), these are served plain or stuffed with fillings of vegetables and sauces to make a quick meal accompanied along with chutney by tradition and sambar... and also dahi puri, a type of chaat consisting of mini-puri shells (golgappa) stuffed with spiced mashed potato with sweet tamarind chutney poured into the shell on top of the stuffing, yoghurt is generously poured into the shell, and the finished product is garnished with sprinklings of crushed sev (small pieces of crunchy noodles made from chickpea flour paste)... DELICIOUS!

Came here for lunch with my husband (who is Indian and claims the menu is very authentic) and we ordered a bunch of street food plates, some chilli paneer and some masala chai. Beautiful flavours and nice kick of spice without being overwhelming. Good portion sizes. Friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Overall great experience. Will be back with more family members next time.

We were staying nearby for 1 nice and saw this Indian cafe on Google maps, reviews were good and thought we would give it a try. What a find! The food was amazing! Jay was very sweet and helpful, even shared his recipe for the dipping sauce that was soooo good, and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. If we were locals, we would be regulars! Make sure you visit!

The Owner J is the most incredible person, we highly recommend all of their dishes! The service is amazing. We came all the way from London and have not found a place that compares on the level of service, warmth and heart and soul invested. Please bring your whole family and dine in or take home and share.

Delicious aloo chat and spinach pakora. Thank you for serving so many great vegan and labelling it so clearly on the menu. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I am looking forward to making this my local for takeaways. I would love to see some more potato and rice dishes on the menu - biryani or dhals aswell - this isn't strictly street snacks but I just love them so much! Thank you

Enjoyed a nice evening snack. Probably the best chat and samosa place I've come across in the UK. Solid tamarind sauce to go with the bhel. Jay was very kind and great service. Great value as well. Highly recommend it.
