Out of all the restaurants on Green Street, this looks one of the most unprepossessing, it's basically just a grill counter with already made curries to be served and warmed up, with a few formica tables in the back. But the freshly made naans by a dedicated naan chef in a specially designed fire tube are to die for. And the small range of curries that they have ready, one or two Lamb based ones, a spinach one, and a chickpea chaana daal are all delicious accompaniaments. Their pilau rice is yummy and different too, with chickpeas and spices including cinnamon bark, instead of the usual British restaurant fare of food colouring and a few chopped vegetables. This is food like you eat in India and it's definitely worth braving the restaurant's initial impressions. Just next door is a delicious Indian bakery and down the road are several ice cream parlours serving up kulfi as well as western varieties too.

- Indian: "Order a Peshwari naan here and you won't be disappointed. If you don't stop at Margalla's then browse the whole street and choose a restaurant that takes your fancy, similar to how you eat in places in India, the food in most places along here is authentic and delicious."
