Our story

Meet Chef Annath Gaire

Hi there, thanks for checking us out. We are a little cosy family restaurant in Forest Gate. I started cooking when I was 24 after being tired of my office job in Delhi. I taught myself by working in many top restaurants there. I've had the opportunity to visit Thailand, Singapore, Bosnia, and Scotland as a chef. Now settled in East London's Forest Gate, I've served thousands of happy customers and become a local favourite. So go on — order now or visit us!

Reviews

What our guests say

I have eaten in this restaurant and have ordered a home delivery many times. The food is fresh and cooked to order. My favourite is the saag paneer with butter naan. Lovely to get Indian food that is not drowned in oil. Great family service.

If you want to try real North Indian food, then this place is a must go — and you can trust me because I am from North India. Amazing food at such an affordable price. Staff is super duper family.

Tried the Indian food with my boyfriend and it was simply delicious. We ordered a delivery and it was punctual, we got more food than we expected, all of it delicious. We will definitely order again.
