Light of Asia

1. The quality of the food is right up there. The chicken Rogan josh was perfect. The spice blend was sublime. The veg bhuna my partner had was the best she had in years. Along with the mushroom pilau rice. Samosa full and spicy. And naan bread was spot on.
   Totally recommend a visit if in the area.
   Thanks to all staff for making our visit a delight

2. We are from the uk balti capital (lye) and have tried loads of balti houses. We can fully recommend the quality of food here as being good and on target. The service is nice enough too.

   The thing that severely lets the place down is the price, we were shocked when the bill arrived!

   The way in which they charge is weird and totally overpriced. (See the photo and comment under vegetarian options for more detail). If you never expect to pay £4.50 for a pilau rice, or naan bread! And don’t tell me it’s because of the price of fuel. Minimum wage should be set to £20 an hour in accordance with the extortionate prices!

   So for basically 3 if us (our youngest barely ate anything) it cost us £74! That just ain’t right.

3. Excellent service. It was quiet when we arrived on a Sunday evening but became quite busy before we had finished.

   The restaurant was pleasant. The music wasn’t too loud. The atmosphere was welcoming.

   The food was great. Very tasty. Good portions.

   Overall, very happy with the choice.

4. Worst experience I’ve ever had at any restaurant. Very terrible behaviour, far from the flavour of real Indian meals, and definitely not an India restaurant 😢. The boss of the restaurant is arrogant and lacks manners. Forced us to order depending on the amount of people and made us order more; when we indicated we didn’t need more, the server commented that the Boss would not allow us to order less and that there is no return policy on the menu or anywhere in the restaurant. Disgusting food with the name of Indian delicacies. Run by non-Indians, with a disrespectful boss. The curries are just a tomato purée and add boiled vegetables for which you should pay extra. Not worth/Waste of money if you’re planning to eat at this restaurant.

5. They say that looks can be deceiving and in this case, it’s very true. It just doesn’t look like your typical Indian restaurant- well not the ones that I’m used to anyway. Its not all fancy with all the trimmings of the Taj mahal, but instead it’s a pretty cool place and the the decor is more that of a Rasta type Internet cafe, which is both different, refreshing and nice.
   This place can get fairly busy at times, so best to book a table so your not disappointed, it among the best eating places in the area.
   Friendly staff, chilled atmosphere and a handy location.
   But the best of all is the food, full of taste and so rewarding with every mouthful and such a good workout for your taste buds
   Lovely 👍
