The food is good, but overall, the flavors...

The food is good, but overall, the flavors are quite heavy. There are two areas where I believe improvements could be made: 1. Balance of Flavors: When most dishes are rich and strongly flavored, it would be helpful to include lighter options to create balance. A small portion of yogurt alone is insufficient to offset the intensity. Having traveled to India and experienced a variety of Indian cuisines, I know there are many excellent light-flavored meat and vegetable dishes that could complement the menu and enhance the dining experience. 2. Handling Minor Issues: The staff was attentive and frequently asked for feedback, which is commendable. However, we encountered a minor issue with the electricity, resulting in a 10-minute wait. As a restaurant, offering a small dessert or drink as a gesture of apology would go a long way in ensuring customer satisfaction. I have been to this restaurant more than 7–8 times because I always want to showcase what Leuven has to offer to my friends. However, I've noticed that the food sometimes lacks the wow factor it had during my first couple of visits. It can be a little embarrassing when my guests politely say, "The food is good" or "All good," without further comments or enthusiasm. When they don’t mention wanting to return, it’s a subtle but telling sign. I’m sharing this because I genuinely want the restaurant to thrive and improve. I’d love to keep coming back, happily bringing both new and old guests, and I hope to see the consistency and quality of the food improve to make each visit as memorable as the first.

Het was echt niet aangenaam zitten in al die rook. Ook iedereen zijn kleren stonken erg. Ik heb er niet goed bij stil gestaan, maar zo'n walm in het restaurant was echt vreselijk. De volgende keer loop ik gewoon weg.

Het is steeds een fijne ervaring en leuk om telkens weer een andere thali te kunnen bestellen. Wel viel het ons op dat de gerechten dit keer minder kruidig waren. De volgende keer zullen we zeker vragen voor een extra kruidig gerecht. Het personeel is zeer vriendelijk en het is er ook heel gezellig. Wel zijn de prijzen behoorlijk maar je krijgt ook waar voor je geld.

Snelle bediening Vriendelijk personeel Lekker eten ( ik koos voor de menu met vlees/vis. Was lekker maar was wel zwaar om te verteren. Ik miste wat groenten. Volgende keer probeer ik de vegetarische)

Loved the cozy atmosphere and relished the delicious non-veg thali. Super happy with the service and the surprise complimentary dessert for our wedding anniversary made our day.
