I'd bookmarked this place awhile ago and had been waiting for an opportunity to go here. Shopping with my brother on Oxford street, provided that opportunity.
The interiors are well spaced out, which is rare for this part of town. The large window, makes the space seem more open and a few knick knacks are placed around as decor to give an Indian feel without being overly cheesy.
We needed a quick lunch before another appointment, so I couldnt relax and enjoy the chaat - paani puri / bhelpuri etc. We opted straight for the protein dishes.
The chicken lollipops were good, but standard fare. It felt more crumb fried than batter fried.
The agni fire wings, were mind blowingly spicy in a good way. But be warned - this is only for chilli addicts. You can't handle the spice otherwise.
The manchurian chicken was a let down, especially as it was served with a very thin sauce and plain rice (Its a very Indian Chinese dish, served almost dry and with fried rice) the taste was good, but it was a disappointment purely because of its name. They should call it sweet and sour chicken or something.
Brother enjoyed his bun kebab. He said it was good - juicy & tender.
However, the only thing that really stood out for me was the hot chocolate with its lovely cinnamon notes.
The starters were much better than my main course. Which is why I suspect the chaat items may meet the mark.
Service was efficient and friendly. I might return to check out the chaat items, but for a meal, I'd rather go elsewhere.
