Every dish is fantastic. Choose what you fancy, and it will be amazing. Cyrus often cooks them himself, and this is a celebrity chef restaurant where the person himself is doing the work and is happy to chat. It is a bonus that it's very reasonably priced. We had a selection of starters and mains; it's some of the best Indian food I've ever had, and I've been to India plenty of times. GO AND EAT HERE! It's much closer than it looks, thank you, Elizabeth line. Put it into City Mapper, and you will be there in a Jiffy. I loved the place on Prescot Street, and this is an even brighter, more modern space.

Given the quality of the food it wasnt expensive in relation...and the wine selection was varied and well priced! Very smart nice restaurant with nice decor and white tablecloths and whtie cotton napkins, and the service was prompt and friendly. I highly recommend as a place for authentic "real" Indian cuisine and we will be back again soon!

Went to Kricket for the first time, good choice of food as we had some vegetarians in our party. Portion size for the 'small' plates was very good, the main plates were average size however we all had plenty to eat. I would recommend for many different occasions.
