“ Located on Ashby Road, Loughborough. A small restaurant serving Indian Nepalese cuisine. Good for an infrequent dinner with friends. If you're looking for a meal it does stand out though. A favorite of the students around town because they serve beer. I doubt they have reservations but it's better to get a table reserved. I wouldn't spend too much time there as it does tend to get crowded. I loved the spice and the aroma of the food served. Indian-style arches, with traditional lighting decorate the interiors. There isn't any parking around but you could find one on the streets nearby. A pleasant experience overall. ”
“ Hands down they make the best momos, its so juicy and flavourful I had to order twice. The rest of the food was equally tasty. They made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Checked up on us every now and then. Amazing service and the food was 10/10, will definitely come again. ”
“ First Indian in a few years, staff are very accommodating, restaurant is kept clean and tidy. Food is very good. Keep going back Everytime i try something different, it's all good! ”
“ One of the best places in town for a good meal. The food is as good as the service, and discovering new flavors of new dishes is worth any price. ”
“ Food was fantastic, we were well looked after :) Was a quiet weekday but a nice restaurant to sit in The chuela puri lamb starter was especially nice! Rice portions aren’t huge, could probably have one each. Naan on the other hand is quite filling, so balancing one of each between 2 worked well ”
“ Truly a great experience, we come here every week and never been disappointed. The staff are friendly and always greet you with a smile. The food is mega and simply can’t describe it in words, you have to taste it for yourself. Things to try: Chicken momos, chicken Manchurian (dry), and my personal favourite - chicken Hakka noodles. Fast and professional service, you can’t fault these guys. A must try! ”
“ Can’t describe how good this is, hard to score atmosphere as it’s a Tuesday night but the staff are so good and the food, omg the food is so very good made me feel like I was back in Kathmandu :-) ”
“ Usually order food from here for delivery but decided to have food in the restaurant, glad I did, it was lovely. Food was perfect as always. Certainly my favorite Indian in the area. Naan bread is the best naan bread, I will always recommend this place over any others in and around Loughborough. ”
