This is the only Indian restaurant in Xiamen and they know it. Their curry is average tasting and service is terrible. We waited 50 mins after we ordered before we even got anything to eat with no apology. The restaurant was only a quarter full. We sat upstairs so we could see the kitchen and their looked like they were... More

Liked that John was around and very friendly. The service was quick. Surprised that the waiters spoke English. Loved the setting and the way it is decorated. The food was mediocre and not up to the mark for the money. There was no dessert with the buffet dinner. Would have been nice if the waiters had some uniform and did... More

To be honest I wasn't a great follower of Indian food until recently, perhaps because of the is not well understood, just like most people think of PAELLA for the Spanish cuisine. After watching "THE STORY OF INDIA" by the BBC, I recommend to anyone interested in history and general culture, I thought India was a very diversified country, a... More

The food is great and I believe it is the best in Southern China. However, do not expect to pay what you usualy pay in Western World. Indian Food is usually cheap in Australia, England or any other western country, but in this restaurant it is SOOOOO expensive that I do not want to go there with my family again.... More
