The Mixed Kebab was the second smallest starter that I have ever seen.
My friends Pakora's take the Gold Medal in the exiguous stakes - they were minuscule… 3 marble sized pieces. Purloined, legally.
The description of my Chicken Usmani read - "Succulent pieces of chicken cubes marinated in
aphrodisiac spices with ginger, spring
onions, methi, shallots, fresh green
chillies, including crispy red peppers - will surely activate sensuality and consequently inhibit clear and high thing. A very hot dish
only one for the brave."
My thought process wasn't impeded, nor did I feel a heightened level of sensuality (lol) or particularly brave… as the dish wasn't excessively hot - probably of a Bradford Madras level.
The Chicken Dopiaza was nothing special.
The main dish portion sizes were deceptively small. The dishes in which they were served were quite large (length & width) but had no depth - as a result, there was hardly any volume. In plain English, and in my opinion, they are ripping people off.
Following the Lilliput theme, the Naan and Chapatti's were also small.
There is nothing whatsoever to recommend this place - over priced, under sized! Embarrassing!
