Wow just wow, 10/10 proper homely experience away from home. Excellent paneer, even better naans not your usual fluffy ones that are common in the UK. Can’t go wrong- value for money 11/10

I have to say the green chilli lamb was 12 out of 10. The service was friendly and not in your face. The overall experience incredible. The best curry to be had down Hythe High Street. Definitely going back again.

Excellent restaurant avec plusieurs spécialités népalaises au menu. Plusieurs plats à base d'agneau. Choix de boissons (bières et vins). Venez les yeux fermés, c'est très bon.
