    Ample portions, noisy and small, but that is the idea. To re-create South India. Chicken was not infused with as much flavour as expected. Service was a little inattentive. Will return to try the goat curry.

    The meals were substatial and tasty. The Thali was super and so was the Chicken 65 as well as all the other dishes. The service was great the friendly staff always there to help in any way.. The ambience was soothing just needed that music to make it a bit more lively.
