"A Studio 54-meets-Bollywood soundtrack often accompanies your choice from the menus."

Friendly, family-run, contemporary Indian diner on the edge of the city centre, offering wallet-friendly menus bolstered by a BYO policy. The Boojon is largely a no-frills experience, but the atmosphere often takes on a party vibe at weekends, when it’s better to take a place in the queue rather than accept a table in the rather chilly, isolated little room upstairs. A Studio 54-meets-Bollywood soundtrack that’s as lively as the flavours often accompanies your choice from the menus: very, very fresh exotica with a strong emphasis on vegetarian and seafood dishes in amongst the traditional ‘curry house’ selection of kormas, jalfrezis, biryanis, tikkas and rogan josh. The crisp, grease-free papadoms alone are outstanding in their field.

    Bland, cold and unfriendly..

    Based on the positive reviews we ventured to the Boojon.What a dissapointment – the onjon badghee was tasteless and without any of the typical flavours one would associate with the indian cuisine. I shall spare all of you my attempt of trying to describe the rest of the meal – the title I have choosen for this review does a nice job in summarizing this: the food is unfortunately tasteless, the restaurant is cold – huge draft created by, I assume the kitchen vents, which seem to impact also the temperature of the food leaving the kitchen (the sauces were tepid at best) and the service was uncapable – when pointing out that there were issues with the meal – the waiter suggest to bring more of it – unfortunately this would not address the underlying issue. Be warned and avoid – otherwise be prepared to be dissapointed like we were….We hailed a cab and mentioned the Boojon to the driver – his reply was and I quote;’Let me guess, the food was bland and service bad?’

Take the kids?
Easy access, but no baby changing facilities and a menu that doesn’t adapt particularly well to less mature palates doesn’t bode well for families. Staff are keen, however, to do their best to accommodate everybody, so if you fancy an adventure, it’s worth a try.
