Beautiful food and so much of it! The 5 of us couldn’t finish the maharajah banquet but we enjoyed it all. A little bit of spice but not too much. Very busy on a Monday night and loud but wait staff were friendly and attentive.

Nevedya is always a wonderful place to visit, going with friends or alone. I've recently been twice in two weeks and had their fabulous Khichadi which is so heart and soul warming. The staff are amazing too, so warm and friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is lovely too, I always sit out the back in the garden where there are heaters, comfortable sitting and a gorgeous garden. Well done Nevedya, you rock!
