Ordering Strategy

Treat it like a feast: order flaky rotis for the table to mop up curries, start with the onion bhajis, and don't skip the chutneys.

What to order

Safe first

Thanjavur Chicken Curry

Consistently praised as a knockout dish, it is described as being laced with turmeric, coriander, and coconut with 'just the right amount of heat.'

Hungry

Paneer Butter Masala

A 'rich and creamy' staple that is best enjoyed with their 'soft and fluffy' naan, which critics call the 'essential piece of edible cutlery' for mopping up every drop.

Wildcard

Mango Soft Serve

A 'popular choice' that serves as an 'icy, flavourful extinguisher' to put out the fire built up from the spicier South Indian plates.

Wildcard

Gunpowder Margarita

A signature cocktail that takes well-shaken classics and laces them with 'South Indian punch' using masala dust for a smoky, earthy finish.

What to skip

Skip

Mutton Curry Dosa— While the dosa bases are generally praised, some reviewers have previously found this specific topping to be a bit dry compared to the more 'soul-soothing' curries.

Good to know

It gets loud and busy with a 'hum of friends chatting'; bookings are recommended. The King's Cross location features a kitchen window view.
