How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst
— an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account
— the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text
— the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

I rarely write reviews, but I really have to say I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. I only noticed that the place had just opened and wanted to give it a try. Top service, top food, top location. I had the butter chicken with naan and will d...

Seems to be a family owned restaurant. Do not expect anything super fancy though it is definitely worth to visit if you are looking for something tasty, cosy and friendly. Mango lassi five stars

− Repeated complaints

Low Meat-to-Filler Ratio

Some reviewers complain that certain dishes like biryani contain very little meat and are padded with an excessive amount of vegetables or rice for the price.

I ordered biryani, it was for 22 euros. But there was hardly any meat in it, only rice for 22 euro. Instead of meat they put cauliflower in biryani to save money. I don't know any recipe of biryani with cauliflower. This is nonsense.

1★ · 2026-08-30

I ordered biryani. For 22 euros there was hardly any meat- few very small pieces. So I paid 22 euros for plate of rice. Instead of meat they put cauliflower and broccoli in biryani!! This absolutely unacceptable! Bad quality restuarant +

3★ · 2026-10-14

In my opinion, the prices are quite high, especially for what you get. Our meal contained relatively little meat, but a lot of vegetables, mainly cucumbers, carrots, and similar items. I've eaten at many Indian restaurants and unfortunately...

Inconsistent Seasoning or Excess Oil

A couple of reviews mention specific dishes being under-seasoned or containing too much oil.

Mango Lassi 10/10. The Butter Chicken was tasty 7/10; for a 10/10 it could have been a bit more flavorful (seasoned). The spiciness was just right, and the portions were very large. I felt very comfortable as a guest and was served quickly...

3★ · 2026-08-23

The service was friendly. The atmosphere was good. However, we were the only guests the entire time (Friday 6:30-8:00 pm). The food (rice and curries) lacked seasoning.

2★ · 2026-09-09

Ordered chilli paneer from this restaurant for home delivery and absolutely hated it. 20% of the dish was just oil - it appears they use way too much oil to prepare dishes. Frankfurt has better Indian restaurants.

Good for

  • North Indian cuisine and authentic flavors
  • Generous portion sizes
  • Cozy, welcoming dining experience

Avoid if

  • You are sensitive to high menu prices relative to portion composition
  • You expect high meat proportions in mixed dishes like biryani

Recent pattern — Newer reviews from late August through October introduce recurring complaints regarding high pricing, light meat portions, and heavy use of filler vegetables, contrasting with the nearly unblemished positive feedback from earlier months.
