Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Unfortunately this was the worst Indian food we’ve ever had. The Peyaj Bhajia starter was burnt (see photo) and bland and the chicken tikka masala was truly inedible. The chicken was of good quality but the sauce was oddly super sweet, possibly someone made a...mistake and used sweetened coconut milk instead of unsweetened or heavy cream in the sauce? The garlic naan was also tough and chewy with barely a hint of garlic and the side sauces were not good, one looked and tasted just like Asian duck sauce. Maybe this was just an off night for them, personally I would be hesitant to try it again.More

We went on a Thursday to break the week a bit. The food was really good, but the best part was the service. We also got mango lassis, they weren’t on the menu but they were gorgeous. Asha was so attentive and nice to us...the whole meal.More

Amazing food and great customer service. Accommodated two off menu requests for our fussy kids, and was the best curry I have tasted in years. Nice wine too, and quick service. Really recommended.

I was badly craving for desi daal and their tarka daal was way too good. I went there kust to have daal. The service is too good. That young boy serving food was very professional. Thumbs up!!

Amazing flavors. We had the royal spice selection (assorted appetizers), lassai ghost, sobji bhuna and chicken madras with naan. No pre meal pic, but the post meal pic says it all.

I can not recommend the Lassai Gosht more, it was delicious. The sample starters were good. And the wine was fair for the price.
