Went with 5 people to compare Indian restaurants. The lamb roganjosh was interesting while the chicken tikka and the yellow dahl were both well done. But the chicken khorma, mutter mushroom, the black bean dahl and spicy chicken mushroom soup were all bland and not worth finishing. Plus the tea came at the end of the meal. Substituting hotness for complexity of flavor does not a good restaurant make. Would rather go down the street to eat Indian.

It seems to me that they are trying to give good service. One time mine was terrible, the next better. I spoke with the manager and he was very gentle and apologetic (indian guy) The decor is great, love the music and the food is good too (but can be a bit rough on the stomach because it is so saucy).
As for price, why do people complain so much??? As a foodie I am not wasting my money or calories on mediocre stuff, which is almost everywhere in Kunming. Just pay the price, i am sure most of what they use is not bought at carrefour or the market! you want cheap go to mcdonalds!

Good authentic Indian food. Better decoration than Indian Kitchen. No curry Korma but got crispy papadums (no sauce for papadum?). Not cheap on Kunming local scale. This restaurant has sister restaurants in Xian and Chengdu.
------------------------------
Samosa is okay and smaller than that in Indian Kitchen. Good value on samosa (5 pieces for RMB15 yuan c.f. RMB 5 yuan per piece in Indian Kitchen). Also like the curry tomato soup very much. (2008/3/30)

Although this is one of my favourite restaurants in Kunming, I find it necessary to warn the management that having a fourth floor extension has taken things one step too far (actually, about 70 steps!).

In my opinion, by extending the business, both the hard working kitchen and waiting staff are unable to maintain the original food quality and level of service.

A recent visit presented us with a luke warm fruit/mutton curry that comprised many pieces of fat and gristle, and a half tandoori chicken that had two legs (?) and not much else -- this dish would satisfy three people last year.

i've recently rediscovered this place. it's a little hit and miss, but i have to say that with a little experimentation, you can find some quality food here. i'm very impressed with the yellow dhal - flavoursome, with good texture, and a healthy but not scary amount of spice

I am always very happy with the food here and the service is excellent. The owner is also quite a nice chap. I love the Curries, the Nan, the Rice Pudding, and the Masala Chai. The restaurant is always very clean and the seating is very comfortable.

Today's visit introduced me to the delicious Tandoori Chicken. It has a good, but not strong, spicy flavour, and retains its' moisture. Don't be put off by the 35 RMB price tag -- it's almost a whole chicken, sufficient for three people (maybe four).
They have also introduced Kingfisher Indian beer.

Good food. Good ambience. We had the 2 person set meal and mango lassi. Could tone down the spices a little bit; my mouth was on fire.

I have found this place to be excellent in customer service and food. The manager is always attentive and ensures that you will get the right order.

The outstanding impression is that this IS an Indian restaurant. From the traditional greeting at the entrance by girls dressed in flamboyant costume, the decor, and background music, creating an ambiance that is Indian. This is the creation of the highly experienced Indian chef/manager/owner who is always willing to suggest something from the extensive menu, if you are unfamiliar with Indian food.
