A small but homely interior, Majliss transports you to India with her dishes whilst retaining the atmosphere of modern fine dining.
The waiters were at their very best and the meals were nothing short of a palatal delight.
The Naan bread (has a particular name that starts with P) was insanely good and stole the entire night for me- hitting on the palatal notes with coconut and butter flavours. I could eat that naan all day and not be tired.
The lamb biryani was as I expected - perfectly cooked aromatic rice with very tender lamb that they almost melt instantly as soon as they hit the palates (I wish there were more)
The sauces were on point and everything was in sync. The meal portions were generous and matched your money’s worth.
If I had one major critique (which prevented me from giving them a 5 star rating) was the lamb chops - it wasn’t exactly my favourite. Bit stringy and tough on the bone (but my friend who ordered it really enjoyed it - so I guess it’s a case of “one man’s shank is another’s….”
Will definitely recommend this and would definitely be going back sooner than later
Best thing was the Lamb Rogan
The Service was very good.

There’s restaurant has its own parking (in case you’re driving). Upon entering there’s a sitting area in case you need to wait to be seated (very thoughtful). Restaurant is very clean, so are the toilets. Prices are very reasonable, low-mid price. Service was quick, dishes were sooo tasty and definitely remind me of home cooked meals. The hot dishes are more mild for my taste. Starters are small portions, so I’d say if you’re 2-3 people, grab 2-3 starters. Main dishes are very filling, rice needs to be ordered in addition as it’s not included.
At the end, after cleaning the table they gave us hot (warm) sanitary towels to clean our hands, gave us each a chocolate and a complimentary beverage on the house (we got coffee). Highly recommend
