Does one visit mean many?
This must have been the first Indian restaurant I visited, some time in the 70's. As such, it is a place that I always view with a certain level of nostalgia. It has had some ups and downs over the years, but fortunately, it seems to be fairly consistent again.
On to the food itself - I had to start with the vegetable pakora - possibly one of the finest examples of this style of food. Kari joined me - John, being different, had chicken pakora. I heard no complaints!
Turning to main courses, as befits an old-established restaurant, both Kari and I opted for a traditional dish - dansac (one chicken, one lamb). John had a chicken tikka dish. Chapatis, rice and a nan were the chosen accompaniments. The dansac was rich and full of flavour - slightly mild for my tastes, but this was my fault as I did not order it hot!
I think the three clean plates at the end speak to the quality of the food on offer. Although this is no longer my favourite restaurant, it is still worth a visit.
