A total rip-off! There was a £1.50 cover charge for a poppadum each, whether you want it or not. This was served with communal sauces, obviously recycled from another table! The pints were £5 each. Food was overpriced, overcooked and served slightly cold. The service was slow, and incompetent, we had to ask for table water three times, and still only got one glass for seven people, and outright rude. One waiter tried to clear the table after we'd eaten, stuck his behind in my face and 'apologised' by saying "sorry, mate".

After this, we decided to not pay the optional fifteen percent gratuity added to our bill without asking us. The waiter then said the bill was short, and after pointing out we didn't wish to pay the gratuity, the restaurant manager came out to demand the tip! We very angrily pointed out the appalling service and rudeness in asking for a gratuity and left. Bottom line is that this is probably the worst restaurant experience I've had in London. Avoid at all costs, there are many good Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi restaurants in London. This isn't one of them!

Nice food, but rather expensive. Beware that there is a £1.50 cover charge, a pint costs £5 and gratuity of 15% is automatically added to your bill.
