“ Extensive menu of both popular and less familiar dishes. Vegetarian starter platter was very tasty. Sharisha Chicken Tikka was a generous portion of marinated chicken, with a thick sauce flavoured with mustard, chilli, garlic and coriander. Tarka dall had plenty of garlic. Enjoyed mango lassi to drink. ”

“ BREATHTAKING. And that's not the garlic. This is the third time I've eaten here and was just as impressed. It's a small little restaurant but what they lack in size they make up for in taste. Honestly the best curry house I've been to (and I've been to a lot of curry houses). You need to pre-book as it's a popular little spot. ”

“ What a great restaurant! We are staying in town, and visiting from Australia, and decided to pop in when walking by and wanting some Indian food. The staff are so hospitable, friendly and kind, and the food was outstanding. It was hard to choose what to order as it all sounded amazing, with plenty of options that we've never heard of. Our mixed veggie main and chicken vindaloo were nice and spicy, but still flavourful and the mint yoghurt and onion salad were fresh. The owner said that they've been open for 13 years, and no wonder it's stood the test of time. Delicious. Thankyou! ”

- Thomas McKinnon -

“ Absolutely fabulous food and service. We decided against going to the 'Indian' restaurant in Peebles due to its horrendous reviews. If you are nearby you must try this one instead. (sit in or takeaway). It was one of the best, if not the best, Indian meals we have had. We had poppadoms, a mixed sharing platter, two tasty curries, a nan bread and pilau rice. With drinks it cost us only £60. The owner & staff were friendly and subtly attentive sharing local knowledge of attractions and events after our meal. A lovely & honest family business worth supporting. ”
