    We ate here twice during our holiday in Diani Beach. We tried several vegetarian dishes and they were all excellent, as well as their naans. Portions are big and the prices are very reasonable.

    Despite many previous amd satisfied visits, this visit was most disappointing! Service was fine, however, food quality, quantity and flavour has deteriorated significantly. More worryingly, a plastic shard was found in the food - consumed but fortunately detected! Not acceptable at all. Definitely, not on list to visit again - noone was too concerned about foreign objects in the cuisine!

    Believe the ratings, guys. Overall, very disappointing and probably the worst Indian restaurant I've been to. The butter naan was rather dry and of unusual consistency. The masala chips were really not good, and the, chilli chicken was underwhelming, with only sugar added. Even the milk tea was horrible. The service, too, was very slow and the servers seemed unhappy and confused, but I wouldn't blame them. Oh, and all the tables were somehow not clean, despite the inside area being almost empty!

    Ate there twice, some of the dishes were very good. And some weren't. Ok-okayish place for Indian food, since I have eaten at better places in Kenya. Overall you can try to eat it there at least once. Following are the things we ate : 1) Daal makhni: 5/5 2) Paneer bhurji : 4/5 3) Pakoras : 5/5 ( we ate them two times) 4) Veg samosas: 5/5 5) Sweet lassi : 2/5 6) Milk tea : 4/5

    All good except the dust from the road outside which isn’t their fault. Maybe a better location would benefit this restaurant a lot. It’s right next to beer bottle stock which gives a bit noise from trucks coming and going plus the dust. The food was tasty amazing, the service excellent and I’m sure it deserves more customers. I will probably be back. Check my photos for refs.
