Unlike most who advertise 'authentic' this Restaurant actually is pretty close to the real street food of Mumbai (and yes I have eaten street food in Mumbai). Easy menu, gentle service and a buzzy atmosphere. Great vegan menu.
If you like your curry to be swimming in gravey/sauce and 1/2 kilo of rice then dont go here, its way better than that.

OMG!!!! This is THE place for QUALITY food straight from Mumbai. I normally eat ONLY Non Veg but after trying a couple of the Veg dishes I was blown away!!! So guess what, we ordered a combination of both Veg and Non Veg and was it good...NO...it was GREAT!!!!

In addition, the ambience, interior decor and LOUD street music got me dancing all the way back to my hotel. Can't wait for them to come to AUCKLAND.

Special thanks to the Manager, Vivek and his team of 3 STUNNING wait staff....Jeffrey (Diana) Kajal and Kripy for their courteous, polite and amazing service.

Overall 11/10

We booked online and pleased we did on Easter Saturday because the place was humming when we arrived about 6.15pm - a little earlier than our 6.30pm booking. We were shown to our table immediately but walk-ins had to wait for tables to vacate. The atmosphere and decor are worthy of a visit. The wait staff were so friendly and we loved the recommendations. We decided on trying 3 street food shared plates because we weren't overly hungry. We tried the Prawn Poliwada, Mumbai Chicken and Dabeli. The dishes arrived quite promptly with the Dabeli a little after the first two dishes. Tasty, spicy and as described. We also enjoyed a beer and the alcoholic mango lassi cocktail with malibu and bailey's - devine! The toilets are definitely worth checking out!

Delicious Indian food, excellent service and great ambiance. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys good tasty Indian food. The Dani puri was amazing, Manchurian cauliflower was outstanding.
