Our wee family restaurant has Mum and Dad in the kitchen working tirelessly cooking authentic Indian food. Kismot is not about airs and graces, it is about great service and a delightfully modern take on Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine from a family that will genuinely try their best.
As it’s just Mum and Dad cooking, we kindly ask for your patience while they prepare your food with love. You can even watch them in action through the glass window!
