I really like the naan. My mum doesn't usually like butter chicken but she likes it from here and wants to try the biryani, as do I. Medium spicy more like mild spicy though. Staff are nice and decorations inside are nice as well. Samosa are pretty average though

It takes 10-15 minutes to get you seated after you will serve with the plates which isn’t wash properly after they will come to take orders after you decide to walk away. You don’t wanna disappoint them and order some food and you can sleep for a hour but still you won’t get it.
So worse place. It’s better to be closed than these kind of service.

This would have to be the best and most authentic Indian food I’ve had all around the world and I’ve travelled a lot. The staff were absolutely adorable and I really can’t wait to come back. 5 stars all around!!

We went there on Boxing Day evening🌙. We had to wait a long time before we could place an order and then the food arrived quite late. I think they were understaffed.
The food is ok, not outstanding compared to some other restaurants in the locality.

Great dining space with an extensive menu. Very easy to get your level of spice right. Paper sheets a little in the way on the smaller tables. Relaxed atmosphere.

It was a terrible experience in this restaurant we had reservations for 14 people at 7:00pm.
We ordered few drinks and entree at 7:15 they served us at 9:30 and it was same same when we ordered main.
And service was worst anything you ask they will bring it you after15-20 minutes.
These people need to attend some classes about how to deal with such situations. If you don’t you need to it shut down👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Terrible food. My partner and I ate dinner at this resturant and both got sick a couple hours later. Do not eat here, it will ruin your week. Bathrooms were also filthy. Owner dont have a sense to deal with customers.

Worst Indian food ever... !! Ordered takeaway chicken kadhai, dal tadka & palak paneer. We asked the lady on the counter what the spice levels are like & was told medium spicy wasn’t that spicy at all.. turns… out it was so so spicy that the 7 of us couldn’t eat much and even that caused the most of us upset stomach. Worst even we waited 1.5 hours for the order. Dal tadka was too thick and all we could taste in the food is the chilli, no other spices.. very disappointed with the waiting time & the quality of food

You can tell that great care was given when preparing these meals. Everything was delicious and catered to our needs.
The waiter was very hospitable and pointed out the many vegan options (for myself).
I am reluctant to give 5 stars as there are no labels for vegan or gluten free dishes on the menu.
My partner really enjoyed the tandoori combination and garlic naan.
Bonus: Complimentary papadums

In short, good food, bad service. Would think twice before revisiting.
Delicious food, everything we ordered was prepared very well, spice level was followed as per instruction.
However the service wasn’t good at all. They were polite while taking the order but the food took way too long to arrive. Few other diners who came after us were served quickly but our main course hadn’t even arrived. The breads came way before the curry which is pointless and a waste, cold roti and naan doesn’t taste very good.
Additionally, we asked if we could have some more raita to go along with the biryani

Food was ok but service was just terrible! The staff were clearly not trained, not interested and very slow! Was painful to watch but worse to experience.

Terrible food and excessive long wait, we arrived @6pm and food arrived at almost 8 o’clock wasn’t that busy though. We ordered food without onion and garlic but found onion in food, rather admitting mistake… they blame us that we put onion in that terrible defence which obviously shows poor customer service. Would never recommend anyone 😡😡😡😡

Mouth watering experience with delicious food and awesome Daal Tadka... Friendly staff with wonderful service. Really made my evening with all support. Never had such a soft naan which melts in your mouth in a single bite.. thank you so much for this wonderful experience. Highly recommended

Tasty authentic Indian food. Friendly service. Good variety of dishes. Cater well for vegetarians. Palak Paneer is delicious and highly recommended. Naan breads are some of the best in Hobart.
