    Last time I was here was in 2010, and it’s as good as I remember. Arthur looked after us incredibly well and the food was superb! Still my favourite restaurant on the planet!

    A Disappointing Decline Rating: ⭐1 / 5 What used to be a local gem 18 months ago has unfortunately lost its way. If you are looking for authentic North Indian cuisine, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. The food is deeply disappointing and lacks the depth of flavor expected from the region. It’s clear the meat is cooked separately in bulk and then tossed into various curry bases; as a result, the proteins are dry and the dishes are remarkably bland. Given the quality, the prices are simply not justified. The service further hampers the experience—even with few patrons, the staff is slow and lacks basic knowledge of the menu. It seems the establishment now primarily caters to tour guides and travelers who may not know better, rather than maintaining the high standards it once had. Overall: Not worth the price or the disappointment.
