    Aromatic curries and biryanis are prepared with generous spicing, offering genuine comfort food that exceeds standard fast-counter expectations.

Before you head over

Practical guidance on seating, operating hours, and dish spice levels to help you plan your visit.

  • Check late-night hours before heading over

    Operating hours run from 9:00 AM until 3:00 AM daily rather than round-the-clock, making it ideal for late-night feeds up until closing time.

  • Plan on takeaway during peak periods

    Indoor seating is extremely limited with just a few tables, so consider grabbing your food to go or dining on nearby outdoor public benches.

  • Watch out for whole green chillies

    Dishes like the chicken biryani come packed with whole green chillies that carry substantial heat; pick them aside if you prefer a milder meal.
