    Mushroom & eggplant rice bowl with cashew sauce is sooo yummy. And yes, best chai I’ve tried so far by far. Authentic, richly ethnic decor; friendly staff.

    Great food across the board. The place has an amateurish feel, in a good way - as if staff is all volunteers there because they love it.

    Totally loved every single dish ... it's such a rare opportunity to be able to try different cuisines from 6 countries alongside silk road at once ... East is indeed east! ;)

    Not sure how this is a Middle Eastern restaurant. It serves North/South Indian cuisine. Hands down, it serves the best chai! I tried the 'Darjeeling' one, do give it a shot if you're there.

    Great food. If you're undecided just order 2 doubles and share everything with your friends.

    I had Persia's favourite - it was great! Not exactly Iranian/Persian food but I can appreciate the effort for fusion

    The meat here is halal. If you get the Silk Route feast, you get to sample everything!

    A mixture of foods from all over Asia. Or at least foods which non-Asians think it's Asian. "Persia's Favorite" is by no means a Persian dish at all!

    The most delicious low calorie smoothie ever! If you come here in the summer get a "Calcutta Monsoon"

    Service was good, however more than half of the lamb wrap was just rice and disappointing. Never again
