“ During my work trip to Invercargill, I ordered the Chicken Lollipop and Chicken Kadai with garlic naan. I was very impressed with the quality of the food—everything was flavorful and well-prepared. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. It's definitely worth a visit, and the prices are very reasonable too! ”
“ Service and food was fantastic and very reasonable prices. We had 5 people to dine in, but there was really only room for 4 and a child. My 16 year old son didn't feel comfortable with the amount of space he had. ”
“ Very sweet butter chicken, first time was unsure how spicy a medium would be but pretty good for the $15 deal combo. Perfect size , rice a bit over and not the usual fluffy rice . I’m saying that really good deal! ”
