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.
