We visited in a Friday evening after finding out that it specialised in Keralan food which is one of our favourites. The ambience is pleasant and the owners + daughter were very friendly and welcoming. We started with Masala dosa which was excellent..the best we have ever tasted, really light and crispy. The other starter we had was an onion Bhajee which was also terrific. For mains we had a fish curry and a chicken vindaloo which were both extremely fresh and tasty. The kulfi desserts are also very good. Very hard to fault any element of the food or service. They do serve more traditional curry dishes which, based on the vindaloo, should really be worth trying. Having searched in vain for a really good Indian restaurant in Norwich we were delighted to find this place...hands down the best Indian restaurant in town. The cost including Loads of drink was £62 which is amazing value. It’s not the most exclusive area of Norwich which is reflected in the prices. They could double the prices, open in Benedict street and they would be packed or every night.

  Popped in here after a vague memory of somebody saying it was good - SO glad that we did. Fantastic to have something a bit different from your run of the mill curries. The curries were tangy and smokey and coconutty and wonderful. The dosa...More

  Very accommodating staff - looked after our bags for us, happily prepared a low-salt option for one of us. Food very good, especially the dosa.

  Probably the best Indian food I have had in Norwich, family run, fresh cooking, not the usual premade sauces most of the curry houses in Norwich use, try the thali, exquisite, and the fish curry is delicious, to top it all off, very reasonably priced,...More

  Great food, friendly staff and a decent vegan and vegetarian choice. It always been a pleasure and we look forward to returning.

  Literally the best Indian we’ve eaten outside India - an amazing veg thali - everything was so authentic and the service was faultless - perfect and highly recommended!

  We were party of four on a Saturday night. Everyone enjoyed their curries, which had depth of flavour. The staff asked how spicy we'd like our meals, we all said medium. Have to say, that wasn't particularly hot but didn't spoil enjoyment. Will return. It...More

  Went here with a few of my friends on a Friday night. The food was delicious and freshly cooked. The restaurant offers a wide range of authentic South Indian food like and it is reasonably priced as well. The service was excellent and the staff...More

  Visited whilst in Norwich and wanted south Indian food so found this on TripAdvisor. The first thing to mention is the service and how hospitable the owners were to my family. We ordered a lot of food which included the cutlets and masala dosa's for...More
