We enjoyed all of the dishes, but my personal favourite out of the three was the pineapple rasam, which was a spicy and sweet soup and was unlike anything I’ve ever had before.

We both opted for the paneer dish, which was a thick cottage cheese closer to the texture of halloumi served with a spicy sauce, and was a personal favourite out of all the dishes I tried.

We went for the mughlai chicken korma, which consisted of tender chicken cooked in a brown onion gravy sauce, and the lamb keema biryani, which was slow cooked lamb mince with basmati rice.
The curries also came with sides of bread, Brussels sprouts, carrot poriyal and urlai roast.

Despite being entirely stuffed after such a huge amount of food, we tried the dessert, which was an anjeer brownie – a rich brownie made with figs and served with vanilla ice cream.
