Best Indian I've ever been to. Some of the best vegan food I've ever eaten also. Will return often.

Friendly and feels authentic

This wouldn't be for everybody. You need to have some patience for its rough edges, which include a slight shabbiness of decor and less than slick service. But it also has a charm to it, an authentic feel to some surprisingly good food. We were the first to arrive on a snowy lunchtime and, having removed our body warmers, soon put them back on again because the restaurant was distinctly chilly, despite the efforts of a portable heater. Our waiter, however, couldn't have been more charming. We joked that we were surprised he didn't have the cricket on (India were playing England in one-dayer) and he dashed off to set up a laptop with a live TV stream from Kochi on the bar for us. He was very good at explaining what was what on the menu and at determining exactly what our tastes were before making recommendations. Our starters consisted of home made samosas and a chat, both of which were excellent - the only problem being that they came about 10 minutes apart, which turned out not to be a problem as we shared them. The main courses, which were served with roti as well as rice, arrived before the drinks, but both beverages and food were very tasty and, though proportions were not huge, we were too full to try their sweets. The waiter was so friendly and enthusiastic for the food, which was good with a rustic, authentic Indian feel to it, that we found it easy to forgive the rough edges.

Pros: Friendly, knowledgeable
Cons: Haphazard service, chilly , Uninspired decor

So disappointing!

We were really looking forward to trying this new arrival in Norwich, having found a taste for Southern Indian food in speciality restaurants in London. We turned up for lunch but were not offered the specials lunch menu but this didn't matter as we fancied the full menu anyway.
Service was slow which might be a problem for lunchtime trade and decor a bit shabby which wasn't a big problem either,
We had onion bhajis and aubergine fritters to start. Bhajis were a few flabby onion rings and the aubergine fritters were better but not by much. At £5 each these were stupidly overpriced and inadequate; best avoided. Mains were a masala dosa and a chick pea dhal (the other dish we wanted was not available at lunchtime. The dosa was good and the daal OK but small portions and well overpriced.
Overall very sad as it could and should have been so much better

Pros: menu sounds good in theory, nice to have new veggie restaurant, dosas tasty
Cons: overpriced, average quality, small portions

I have only had lunch a couple of times so far, they have a special offer on for lunch when writing. (I work nearby sometimes.) Excelent flavour without being too hot. I will reveue again when we have had a chance to have an evening meal there.

Pros: good value, friendly staff, excelent food
Cons: not licenced
