Authentic South Indian food, what a find! We went at a very quiet time during the week and pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves but it was good to see lots of orders on their way out for takeaway too. I look forward to coming back and sampling more of the menu. Lovely staff, attentive and friendly.

A lovely South Indian restaurant in Wallasey. My parents, brother, son and I went out for an early evening meal. The food was delicious. The restaurant was decadently decorated. The decor is a very beautiful bee theme. We enjoyed our food very much. The meals were presented with beautiful plating. The restaurant had a very sophisticated feel to it. Will definitely be back again.

My wife ordered from here on just eat and it was the best meal I've had this year, by far. The cottayam fish curry was exceptional, with an expert blend of spices, the ghee rice was toasty, nutty and deeply satisfying and the parathas were a special treat. This isn't your standard Indian food, this is on another level, and I've never had anything quite like it. 10/10, beyond compare, excellent, exquisite, and far and away my new favourite.

We have just had the most delicious family meal here! The restaurant is clean, attractive, and has no steps to access it. The staff are friendly and helpful, willing to discuss which sides go best with the main courses etc. The Lentil doughnuts were a delight! None of us has had them before and they were a wonderful surprise. They are served with three dips, a lentil soup, tomato and coconut chutneys. Between us, we tried a good selection from the menu. I was thrilled to find that there were a lot of gluten free options. I had Butter Chicken and Lemon Rice. The chicken was clearly freshly cooked, succulent and tasty. The sauce was rich and creamy deliciousness. The Lemon Rice is freshly cooked, tossed with lemon juice, mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried chillies. My husband had the Kerala Lamb, and Kallapam, which are amazing pancakes, (made with fermented rice and coconut batter.) He thoroughly enjoyed it all. The other three main courses were; Alleppo Fish Mango curry with plain rice and Pallappam pancakes, (yeast fermented rice batter, soft and fluffy); Kothu Paratha with chicken; Chef's Special Dosa with Garlic and Cheese Paratha. These were all fantastic, clearly freshly cooked, with fresh ingredients. We tried some cocktails, which are very well priced, and an Indian lager. The meal was finished off by being given hot towels to wipe faces and fingers. I can't recommend it strongly enough. I will be visiting again soon, and often, I hope.

Wow cheaper and tastier than a subway for breakfast and lunch. We had the lamb and beef curries which came with a choice of breads and we selected paratha and chapatis, I must say the meat was so flavoursome and tender. The paper and masala dosas were also very good, with 2 wonderful chutneys and a vegetarian curry to go with it. The offerings were so nice and different from the usual Indian/Bangladeshi restaurants around Wirral and definitely not swimming in grease. Can't wait to try the evening menu

A wonderful, beautifully decorated Indian restaurant which serves delicious food, including dishes from all over India - with great vegan options, and an extensive cocktail menu. They are also open for breakfast, serving a selection of dosas and other Indian dishes, as well as English cooked breakfasts... This place really is a dream come true!
