We just ordered take away. Live literally 5 min away so we thought we go, order & collect food instead of waiting for delivery.
The service was absolutely amazing, and food is 10/10. I’m so impressed, definitely will be back. Thank you so much guys for your help.
The best Indian in Chelmsford. Love love Love it!!!!!!!

Wow. Food is amazing! Great flavours & authentic taste. Don't look much from the exterior, average interior decor. But Chef and staff know what they are doing. Very friendly and polite. Highly recommended. They even customise dishes to your exact needs. If you love Bangladeshi & Indian cuisine, this place is a must-try.

This restaurant serves delicious authentic food that has a home cooked taste rather than the synthetic flavours and colours we have become accustomed to in most Indian restaurants. Every dish was exquisitely tasty, made with high quality and fresh produce. I urge anyone looking for an alternative to the bright red overly sweet dishes of the competition to come here and have your taste buds blown away. Very friendly and humble staff make this a winner all round.
