Food and service were great. Reasonable prices and owner was very friendly.

Vegans avoid! The waiter advised that the ‘vegetable’ samosas were the only vegan starter on the menu. Unfortunately they were anything but: they were LAMB and so I accidentally ingested meat. The samosas were also obviously frozen and poor quality (the restaurant said they couldn’t tell which were vegetarian or lamb).I ended up eating no starter: then had vegan version of dhal and tandoori roti: these were very bland but apparently vegan (I hope).No hard feelings towards the waiter who was very apologetic and removed the cost of the dhal and samosas from the menu as a gesture. But please avoid this restaurant if you are vegan or have any other dietary/allergen requirements.

Visited here with a small group of friends. We were graciously welcomed and attended to throughout our evening. Highly recommend the Chef's Specialties of which I was able to try a few. Will certainly be back soon.

Rather disappointed as endorsement on window by curry boys suggested it was good but sadly the reality was somewhat different. I had chilie garlic lamb which had very little flavour although there was plenty of well cooked lamb. Wife had a king prawn dish which she was disappointed with, again due to lack of flavour. We visited a Nepalese restaurant a bit furtherance the road the following night which was a very different story.

We went on a rugby night so it was busy and the service was slow and poor. They brought rice out first, apparently some was for sharing but the portions were small, about half an hour later they started bringing out the dishes to go with the now cold rice. Some orders were wrong so it was a right kerfuffle. The food we had was tasty,.I'd just go when it isn't so busy as people turned up after us and got served before us and we'd ordered first. We weren't the only people complaining on the day.

·

The meal itself was ok. Average. The experience however was ruined by a shambolic Fawlty Towers delivery driver trying to tell my wife that we didn't know our address. Never again.

·

We tried the momos(pop the whole momo so the juicy goodness bursts in your mouth), few of the nepalese starters- the pork and chicken and the platter along with a fragrant garlic naan with some kingfisher beer to wash it all down. The Nepalese food has its own distinct taste, at the end you will really start to like it. The ambience is quaint and peaceful, it’s own charm.

This has to be the best curry in the Richmond Borough! Unusual Nepalese dishes and full of fresh spices and herbs. Fantastic flavours without being too overpowering. And an unusual but fantastic Indian red wine, complements the curry brilliantly.

This is my new favourite curry house: the lamb on the bone is absolutely delicious! They are friendly, generous and the food is so flavourful. The chef’s specialities that I have tried have all been gorgeous. Exactly what you want, fresh spices, good seasoning, real authentic flavour where dishes all have an identity. 10/10

Great curry. Friendly staff. Very tasty. It was Christmas time so there were crackers on all the tables. Think this is my favourite curry house in Twickenham :)
