  We had to get an Uber to come here because it was a Sunday night and everywhere else was closed. When we got there we realized they were closing up yet on their website they were supposed to be open for another hour. I notice this is common in London where they close up earlier than what they advertise which is really stupid. But anyways, they did offer seat us but they obviously wanted to go home so we decided to get takeout. After sitting down they were very friendly and had good conversation with us so I'll give them that.
  
  To eat I got the Rajshahi but a vegetarian version with a side of white rice and my niece got the butternut chicken with a side of white rice. I enjoyed my meal and the green sauce it came with but my niece on the other hand found her meal pretty tasteless--her chicken was white and even looked tasteless!
  
  If I were to visit London again I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back here again.

  The food is just passable, nothing amazing or outstanding about their food. For appetizers, I got the Chicken Chaat, which didn't really have the chaat masala I was hoping for. It's masala is basically tomatoes and onions; a combination that is just tasty by itself! Chicken was well cooked though and adding lemon definitely did the magic for this dish to be a bit tasty.
  
  For main course, I ordered the Murgh Rajshahi. If you are not a fan of mango pickle, do not order this. In my opinion, mango pickle is an acquired taste and you either like it or just don't! The description claims that the dish has a smoky flavor; thee was no smoky flavor what so ever! Ordered a garlic naan and the combination definitely hits the spot if you are very hungry!
  
  Service wise, absolutely no complaints. Attentive and quick servers and service!

  Small little place with a lot of servers..but it was really good food. Family owned restaurant.
