“The bill [of £99 for two] came as a shock and perhaps that says everything about the meal. It certainly wasn’t beating the crunch and the overall experience was of blandness… For that sort of money in south London I would have expected something with more oomph, that supplied a memory or two… £99 buys you a banquet at the excellent Indians not far away in Tooting.” The critic is not especially impressed by the South Clapham newcomer.
