Moët & Chandon 2001 Nominee and LondonEats.com 2002 Restaurant Awards Winner.

Despite a recent and radical revamp, this legendary Pakistani kebab house stills lives up to its name. Changes include a new glass fronted open kitchen, plasma TVs showing the cricket and they have also knocked into next door to create a much bigger restaurant.

You may be offered a menu, but our advice to to ask for a mixed selection of starters (that include kebabs, tikka and spicy sausage), lots of spicy lamp cutlets and roti and then whatever is good for mains.

BYO alcohol and you can still expect to pay around £11 for a feast.

I've been coming to this restaurant for 20yrs - yes, since I was 3! There is no greater Indian anywhere and that's coming from me and my Indian family. Korai Gosht and the Keema curries are amazing - as are the biriyanis and all starters. Can't fault them on anything. Best restaurant ever.

The restaurant 'lost' our booking for a party of 20 which completely spoilt our evening. The staff were not very apologetic and there was no gesture to acknowledge the inconvenience they had caused. The food was nice but not overly special. It came nowhere near compensating the annoyance caused by being made to wait an hour for a table we had booked.

Probably one of the finest places to eat as the food is served hot and it is cooked deliciously.

The waiters are good even though it is packed on most occasions and they try to bring food asap.

However, if your looking for a romatic meal with a quiet time...this is not for you.

I'm a regular visitior to this restaurant only and only because of their lovely food, however I've always had doubt over its health and safety and overall cleanliness (greasy and stained underliners to the curry bowls, stained plates etc.) I'm sure many of us ignore such details over their die-for kebabs and currys...BUT.
But this time, not only I was made to sit on a table next to the washrooms (had no choice, restraurant was full) that stank atrocious with every visitor wanting to use it, to my heavenly surprise I find a finger long swriled rusted piece of metal wire in my mouth with a spoonful of curry(Murgh Chana - part of their speciality)). From its looks it seemed to be from a steel scourer.
So now upon call the waiter who was serving us and showing and telling him what happend he appologised and quickly takes away the piece of wire from my hand, picks up the rest of the curry and takes it to the kitchen as its visible through the glass windows. He comes back with the another bowl of curry and mumbles a story that none of us could understand (seating 4) apart from another "sorry". This incidence almost brought an end to my meal and the rest of us.

And finally I see the dish presented on my bill, not that a £12 curry would have made any difference to my pocket, but it felt sad that there was no gesture or courtesy.I was expecting atleast a manager coming to me with some explanation, but it clearly was a wishful thinking.

I would still recommend this restaurant to people but with "caution", for me I may need to think twice.
