“Solid Indian restaurant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012 via mobile

Solid Indian restaurant on a quiet block in Joburg. Warm atmosphere. I'd surely be a regular here if I lived in this city.

“Lovely view, service and indian cuisine”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

I have only unfortunately been here once. The food is fantastic even though it is a little on the expensive side. However, do enjoy your evening by sitting on the balcony overlooking the city whilst having an extremely flavourful Indian curry that you cannot go wrong with. This place situated in the heart of Norwood is definitely worth visiting.

“Great authentic food, slow service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 12, 2012 via mobile

Food was really good, went with a friend who had spent 15 months in India and he thought the food was spot on. Naan was delish! Atmosphere was very basic but it was probably lacking vibe as we were there at 6pm. Service was exceptionally slow despite there being many many staff around (they were all milling around rather unattentively). There was only 2 other tables at that time though it could appear based on the number of tables that it could get rather bustling.
