I tried the chicken curry and found it tasty and reasonably priced, with quick service. Overall, a satisfying experience.
Gerhard W.
Delicious curry at a bargain price. The shop is tiny, with compact seating and the door left open, but it''''s perfect for a quick meal. Highly recommended!
Kat C.
Delicious! They offer vegetarian curry and salad choices. Tip: tell the waiter your preferred spice level from 0% to 70%; 50% is quite hot 😊.
Kristine K.
The best curry I''''ve ever had! We''''re eager to return, and it will surely be our first stop next time.

Friendly staff, relaxed vibe, fast service, and tasty dishes. The space is a bit cramped, so it may not suit big groups. I visit regularly and always appreciate the quality and value.
