    Yet again - first class food, service and surrounded by stunning architecture! One small thing that I think would make a difference to the atmosphere would be to have some music in the background? Where it’s in a huge hall with high ceilings, I think it would do the experience justice to have some music in the background as it would feel warmer in the room.

    …looking for nice authentic Indian food, this one is just 2-3 minutes walk from Tower Bridge, London. A little expensive, may be but the food is very tasty.

    The most exquisite Indian food we've ever tasted. Our server was knowledgeable and gave great guidance on how to create a perfect menu for two. The chicken dish inspired by the chef's mom was a highlight - delicate and fragrant. My husband and I adored the naan- it was heavenly light and crispy at the same time. So, so good!

    I had the monkfish and it was incredible. The fish was perfect, great texture, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was very good. It was exactly what I was hoping it would be. I look forward to coming back and trying other dishes.

    This was a very average meal at a very high cost. Two cocktails and a bottle of wine with some really average curries was £320. Quality was no better than your average local curry house. Absolutely not worth it.
