Ordering Strategy

This is primarily a takeout operation with very few stools. Expect a wait as rotis are rolled and cooked to order. Order the 'buss up shot' (torn roti) if you have a place to sit and dip, or the 'dhal puri' (wrap) if you are walking.

What to order

Safe first

Curry Goat with Buss Up Shot

Rich and tender goat curry paired with buttery, shredded 'buss up shot' roti that reviewers call the star of the show and the perfect vehicle for scooping up every last drop of sauce.

Hungry

Dhal Puri Goat

A massive, stuffed flatbread wrap that's described as properly filling and ideal for when you're looking for a substantial, hearty meal.

Wildcard

Doubles

Regarded as the gold standard in London, these curried chickpeas served between fried dough are a legendary must-order snack from a founder who is considered a local legend.

What to skip

Skip
Shrimp CurryWhile the curry sauce itself is praised for its flavor, critics have noted you might find yourself 'hunting for the prawns' due to light portions.
