I popped in yesterday for a quick bite and a cup of karak chai. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, which made a nice difference. Service was quick, the food was tasty and fairly priced, and the chai was just what I needed. There’s plenty of paid parking around, so getting there was easy. A decent spot if you’re nearby and want something quick without any fuss. I’d happily go back.
Excellent food and service. Staff is very friendly . Can’t miss this whenever I’m around MK. Waqas is excellent.
Indian cuisine is truly the way to go if you know, delicious healthy, and your body will thank you. The food is always amazing and fresh here, the staff is really polite and welcoming, and the atmosphere is rather pleasant with plenty of light coming in from outside!
The food and tea served were delicious. It is located at a 5-minute walk from the centre:mk mall and one can find plenty of parking options nearby. The staff was helpful but the service seemed a bit slow despite the restaurant not being fully crowded. It was still a good experience and certainly recommended for anyone looking for desi food at affordable prices.
Had special lamb biryani on friday , the tast was delicious, the service was amazing. I am a regular customer of TDC, and totally love their food. Their samosas are one of the best, love them.
I had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was flavorful, well-presented, and made with fresh ingredients. There was a good variety on the menu, catering to different tastes and dietary needs. Every dish we tried was cooked to perfection and served at the right temperature. Best of them is nihari , i really loved it and i am sharing pictures of nihari as well
Had qeema with parathas and chana with parathas, 2 karak chai. Enjoyed food. Only problem was cleanliness. Tables should be cleaned as soon as customers leave. There was tea spill under a table that wasn't cleaned right away. Also spotted few fruit flies. Staff was good & polite and they took the feedback positively.
Gulab Zamun - 10/10. One of rhe bests I’ve ever had in the UK. Falooda- Also very good. 8/10. Will definitely come back.
