Been coming here for years, says it all really. Always very polite and helpful people working here, many of them for years which also says good things about the management. Food is simply excellent, the Cobra always cold and the service is excellent as well. My advice is to book each time if you know when you are planning a visit as it is very popular.

Kachori was recommended to us by a family member, what a great recommendation. We travelled from South West London for my daughter's 20th birthday and it was so worth the journey. The staff were very welcoming and attentive from the get go, we had a great table (a booth). The food was absolutely delicious in all respects and came at exactly the right time. The staff were kind enough to bring my daughter a complimentary birthday cake at the end of the meal and gave us some complimentary drinks for the birthday celebration. What a fabulous experience. I can't recommend highly enough.
