Wanting a change from Italian food we decided to try this restaurant near to our apartment. It was so good we returned a few nights later. It has three names and does kebabs and Indian food as well as pizza and some pasta dishes. There is a street side area but the tables there are small and often occupied by drinkers so we decided to eat inside. There is a menu but not everything is available so we found it better to order from the dishes in the cold counter. Bottles of water beer and soft drinks can be self served from the fridge. There is a range of wines by the bottle, not all are priced but staff can tell you the cost. We had a bottle for 5 and 6 pounds. After ordering at the counter the food is brought to the table and payment made back at the end of the evening. It was busy both evenings with lots of takeaways ordered. High lights were the sheek kebab and Halim (Dahl with pieces of beef) starters. Both the sag gosht and mutton curries were delicious. On both occasions we shared a starter. Then shared a curry, veg dish, rice and breads. With water and wine the bills were around 22 euros. Excellent value. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Recommended for lovers of authentic Indian food.

Nice restaurant with authentic taste from East of India! Owner is really nice and polite! Coming from Germany I am quite surprised with the taste of the food and the super low price! Biryani has the flavor and the aroma. Quality of the food is great and I am writing this review after my second visit! You might not find the best ambience but the taste and quality is much better than Berlin!

10/10 street food experience would recomend if you are into this type of atmosphere. I was walking around Trastevere looking for something quick to eat and stumbled upon this gem of a place. The window was displaying a special offer: 7.5 euro for 1 pizza, 1 beer and a roman suppli. I instantly decided this is the place, after seeing the vibes of the patio and the offer. Beer was great, cold. Had suppli for the first time in my life and i was blown away and the pizza was just right with a crunchi crust and perfect cheese as it was a marguerita. Staff was also great, smiling and very welcoming.

Must visit if you are staying near by and looking for some Indian food with reasonable/ cheap price. We had daal, chicken curry, rice and Roti. This is an Bangra cuisine but was really great for the price they charged - for everything we ordered just spent 12 euros. The Roti, Daal and chicken curry was excellent. - Roti is must try. We were really happy with the food, will definitely come back if we are visiting Rome.
