Great food. Attentive and accommodating staff. Bookable during the Fringe. Only reservation is that the veggie main dishes are slightly pricey for what you got. I'd definitely come back if back in town.

We were very disappointed by the quality of food. We have eaten at many Indian restaurants in the UK and US and this was the worst food in terms of taste. They charged several pounds extra for things that are normally included: rice, pappadums, and even sauce for the pappadum. Our bill was very high as a result.

Food was quite good. However, the server patronized us. We ordered two main dishes and asked for them to be prepared as spicy. One of the dishes seemed blander than the other. Without telling us, our server had the blander dish prepared with medium spice rather than spicy without telling us. He revealed this to us as he cleared our dishes. We were not happy. If the server was concerned about our choices, he should have consulted with us when we order and let us decide. Treating us like children with such sneaky behavior is unprofessional at best..
