    Awesomely quirky interior, cheap prices, and great food make this one of our Greenwich favorites. Get the chicken tikka roll or the paneer burji. Look out, the food here is spicy!

    Delicious Indian food with a large selection, including kebabs and succulent chicken tikka. Friendly and relaxed environment. Water is not readily available so being your own if eating in.

    I got the lamb curry box. The proportions are definitely good to split for two meals. It tasted delicious, though I definitely think they took it easy on me with spice level.

    The chicken bhuna roll and paneer bhurji are the favorites. Late night snacks with Bollywood music blaring occasionally. You would see a lot of your drunk desi friends here at night.

    This place is a great little joint for reviving nostalgic after college cafe bites around india. Most things on the menu are top notch but the kheema pav truly stands out.

    Cheap and satisfying kati roll spot. Paneer bhurji is a good vegetetarian option; the chicken bhuna roll carries more heat.

    The guy on the phone is hilariously rude but the chicken tikka is reallyy tasty. Too bad you can only get it accompanied with rice and sides (which are meh and take up a ton of packaging).

    Big portions. Chicken bhuna roll is a great choice. If you like spicy, dont forget to ask for 2 of the green chutneys.

    Came on a food tour, so we only tasted some egg dish and was just okay... but the menu looked authentic and the place smelled like curry, so I'd definitely want to visit and try other foods!!!

    The paneer bhurji is far better than the paneer tikka.
