I had a great Indian meal at this restaurant, the food and service were amazing. The restaurant was recommended to me and I am so pleased I went to try the food, as everything was spot on. The taste was great, the wine was also very nice. All the service was personal and I loved the whole experience. Thank you.

We have been eating at this wonderful family run business for over 20 years. The present owner, Mohammed, is front of house and his wife cooks. They are the second generation of owners and their food is as good as that of their mother and father. It is small and intimate and one is assured of a friendly welcome and... More

Very unattentive waiters (examples: It took 30 minutes to receive the coctail maison, which is basically just some sparkling wine with strawberry syrop. We didn't receive rice to our food. They forgot to bring the extra naan which we ordered). After 2 beers, the stock of Jupiler was already finished, and it took the waiters another half an hour to... More

Where to begin...!? Firstly, I cannot begin to fathom why any one may have rated this restaurant anything less than very good (at the very least!). One must lack any gastronomical experience beyond that of a cheese sandwich. The restaurant itself is perfectly suited for a curry house: warm, friendly service by very experienced staff and cold Kingfishers, (wine, or... More

I had dinner with my family there and we were pretty much satisfied with the food and service for the price. There are only a few tables, so reservation is recommended. We were lucky to get a small table without reservation. The owner, who was also serving, is a nice and very friendly guy. Service was a bit slow as... More

Brussels have few - if any - good Indian restaurants. This one was rated among the highest in its class on TripAdvisor. In short: Stay away from this joint! Having been shown a table and given the menu, the waiter went shopping for close to half an hour! I ordered the Chef's recommendation: Chicken Tikka Masala. It came after another... More

I went to that restaurant for taking way. The prices are reasonable and the meals are very tasty. However the only negative point I had was we had to wait one-hour time for the preparation of the meal, but it was worth of it!

After few months in Belgium, I really was desperate to go to an Indian restaurant....since it has been a while since I was away from home. So I and team decided to visit this today and I liked it. We ordered out starters and main course...we started at 6:45PM in the restaurant, and we left at 10:00PM...so much time? yes,... More

Cracking little restaurant. top tip - if you want a real hot curry, you have to convince the waiter that you actually can handle it. He allowed me a "normal hot" Vindaloo this time (even though I asked for a super-hot version). He did say that the next one "would kill me" though....
