Thomson's Casa

The comments quoted below are a sample of the full tally across 36 threads.
What people say, in short
Thomson's Casa has strong support for chicken dishes and dum biryani, but the shawarma feedback has changed. Earlier recommendations praise its shawarma; a more recent discussion says the old version was replaced by Jamaican jerk shawarma, which several diners find too oily. One of those diners prefers the new mild creamy chicken roll instead. Biryani also has both fans and people who find it ordinary or overhyped. Multiple accounts mention difficulty getting a table, and one diner describes shared seating rather than an intimate fine-dining setup. It is a well-supported but uneven choice, not a unanimous favourite.
