Ordering Strategy

Order a variety of 'Phat-a-Phat' (quick eats) to share, and embrace eating with your hands—cutlery is playfully frowned upon.

What to order

Safe first

Vada Pau

Regarded by critics as the 'best dish' on the menu, this Mumbai street food classic is described as 'divine' with a soft yet crunchy texture and an 'electrifying bolt of complex spicing.'

Hungry

Butter Chicken

A substantial and flavorful option that comes 'slathered in a sweet and sour sauce spiked with fresh ginger,' perfect for scooping up with their buttery naan.

Wildcard

Dhal Makhni

Reviewers claim to 'strike gold' with these slow-cooked black lentils; they are 'deeply comforting' and loaded with indulgent notes of butter and cream.

What to skip

Skip
Lahori Lamb ChopsWhile beautifully flavoursome, they are described as 'frustrating' and 'tiny,' with reviewers noting that the portions often contain barely any meat.

Good to know

The tiled decor looks great but makes the acoustics very loud when busy. Excellent vegan and vegetarian options are clearly labelled.
