The best south Indian restaurant in Tower Hamlets, it's quite hard to find restaurants serving authentic South Indian food in an area like Canary Wharf. To be honest, it's equivalent to those we wind in East Ham as well. The taste was amazing, the service was swift and the ambiance was pleasant as well. Special shout out to Mr Sanjay and his team, for making sure of our comfortable experience.

Hard to find the parking for this place. They have shared place with the restaurant below. Plenty of parking available before the restaurant if you are lucky to the first. Or call them and they will direct you without any hesitation. Friendly staffs and reasonable price for the city. Do not go in the last min coz when they close many items will be unavailable. Try to go at least an hour before. Try the hoppers and the kothu.

Must visit place, while in and around canary wharf. Authentic indian food, both north Indian and South Indian (veg and non veg), starters , juice varieties and hot drinks available. Well maintained and nice seating arrangements. Excellent staff, managing it nicely.. Hygiene and neatness are given importance.

Now, let me start by prefacing with that I have been to all the halal indian restaurants with/had a michelin star (Gymkhana, Tamarind, Trishna, Jamavar, Amaya, Benares) and some of the food I had there blew them out of the water. I'll start with 3 items that were amazing, like unreal. I had a Tandoori mix grill that featured 2 types of chicken tikka. In my life, I've never had chicken so tender, soft, juicy and tasty. It was like wagyu beef. Unreal. Pardon the videos, I forgot my blogger light, but it tasted amazing. I believe it was a coriander chicken and a malali tikka. What's the 3rd amazing

Food was amazing, opted for the mixed grill which was amazing. In the mixed grill there was a bit of everything and the king prawn stood our the most for me. Fish pakora starter was brilliant. Hurricane mocktail had so much flavour. First time tasting a dosa and was exceptional. Service was outstanding and will definitely be back.
