Consistent with the rest of the group and repeatedly called amazing and perfectly made, a favourite at good value, though the chargha outshines it for one diner.

Well spiced with an outstanding sauce and a generous portion. Several diners call it the best thing in their order and one the best they have had.

Properly spiced with the heat made to order, and tender, moist chicken at good value. One diner met it on the buffet and found the sauce oily.

Excellent and very tasty in the room, and it travels well for takeout alongside garlic naan. The dissent here is about the price rather than the cooking.

Praised for a delicious sweet-and-savoury sauce and ordered regularly, though several long-time diners say quality has slipped and the masala now reads too butter-forward and too sweet.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked early ranking until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
