"The food was spectacular here best Indian i have had in a long time if not ever. The beer was fresh and chilly and the cider was just as fresh. Pitty about the service. Ordered 2 beers and a cider they bought out 3 beers. Then they forgot the paneer and had to bring it out separately but when they realised their mistake fixed it quickly. Also had to explain the order multiple times."

"I made a party order by contacting the owner Sachin. I ordered veg kebab, Sev puri and vada pav. The order was exceeding my budget so I asked to remove one of the items. Sachin said, he won't let me compromise with the budget and he said that he'll deliver all the three things within my budget and I was very happy. When I received the order, he even sent samosas for all the people in the party and then we had 4 things for starters. It was a very nice gesture and I really appreciate this. Moreover, I forgot to purchase the napkins but Sachin had it covered with lots and lots of cutlery. The party was a success and hence I sent him more money in reply of his wonderful gesture. Talking about the quality of food, almost everyone was asking me about the place from where I ordered it. It was amazing and everyone loved it. I didn't had to worry about serving because he sent the food which was already in the serving plates. I will definitely recommend Chowpatty for parties as it is reliable, delicious and they are very humble people. - a very happy customer"

"“The jewel in the crown”. We’ll signposted In one of the Victorian arches along Brighton seafront. Is the quirkiest, small restaurant serving authentic Indian street food and main courses. Sachin the owner from Bombay guided us through the menu and we enjoyed a wonderful meal. We tried all at starters on the menu each one having its own unique flavor along with a Peacock mango and lime cider, we had a wonderful evening. Highly recommended and tasty. They won’t be there long before the big planned refurbishment of the arches so get there while you still can."
