We sat down and at once were offered poppadoms and chutneys - both very good.
Starters: Chum Chum Chicken and Samosas.
Mains: Biryani Chicken; Murgh Handi Laziz [chicken in spices and coconut cream with chillies] and Gosht Cholay Lahori.
Drinks: Kingfisher Beer.
Cost: £75.
This restaurant benefits from very tasteful décor, friendly and efficient staff… and intriguing blue lights set into the risers of the stairs up to the toilets.
Unfortunately, the food did not match the pleasant atmosphere and charms of the staff, being ‘OK’ at best - Lyn felt her Biryani was ‘poor and tasteless’.
The chef seems to have managed to cook without the chemical additions favoured by some, but has not found a way of getting the flavour back - places like Le Raj (28 Sep 07 - Le Raj, 211 Fir Tree Road, Epsom Downs) and the Blue Mint (20th March 2008 - Blue Mint, 21 Waterloo Road, Epsom) do this so much better.
Our rating: THREE STARS but, without the atmosphere and staff, probably TWO STARS.
