“ The time it took for my food to come out was a little more than expected however i believe it’s due to the fact that they must cook everything fresh to order as when i took a bite it had to be one of the best restaurant curries I’ve ever come across. ”
“ Very good food. Real Indian Nepalese taste, rich in flavour. Friendly People We really enjoyed our meal ”
“ Fantastic food, friendly staff. Even on a busy night, they always served with a smile on their faces, offered to take out pictures, and even explained the origin of the name! Dishes were flavorful and cooked to perfection, a great balance of seasoning and spices without being overpowering. Can’t recommend enough. ”
“ The had family lunch here, we are vegans and the waiter was really kind and made sure the food diary free and low on spices for the kid, the food it's like a 7.5 (10) we were pleased. The interior of the restaurant was really messy and it impossible to eat there, if you stay outside you will have a good experience, staff was kind and food good. Prices are a bit high but that whole area is overpriced. ”
“ I get Delicious Indian food with warm and polite service! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Every dish was full of authentic flavor and freshly prepared. A must-visit spot in Portugal (madira )for anyone craving Indian cuisine! ”
“ We ate twice at this restaurant during our ten day holiday in Funchal. The food is so delicious, probably the best Indian food I have ever tasted. My husband is gluten free and they understood what contained gluten and what didn’t. The staff were warm and friendly and the service was excellent. Do not hesitate to try this restaurant if you like Indian food. ”
“ We had a week in Madeira which is far too long for me to go without a curry. There are more 'Indian' restaurants here then I was expecting, so how to choose? Google reviews and photos are a start but a lot of the reviews look 'fodgy' to me. Fortunately there are a few highly rated 'Indian' restaurants grouped together very near the Old Town. So I decided to have a look for myself, walking by the open air diners, or allegedly looking for a menu, I choose this place on the look of their curries. My instinct didn't let me down, although I also find that Nepalese restaurants rarely do either. The service was excellent, typically Nepali, extremely helpful and friendly. The meal was hard to fault except the onions in the Bhaji which could have been softer. Very flavoursome curries, chicken breast meat with the heat adjusted to our different tastes. The sides were excellent too. The inside is a bit 'rustic' and there is no A/C, and the outside tables can wobble on the cobble street, but that's half the charm. The one thing I didn't like was that it appeared they allowed smoking which could put some off. The bill wasn't bad considering and they don't add a service charge. It's worth Googling the origin of their name, I won't spoil it for you. ”
