While the staff were friendly and the atmosphere pleasant, the wait time for my takeaway was far too long. Unfortunately, the food itself didn’t quite meet expectations either. Although they clearly tried their best, only one of the two dishes was up to standard. Still, it was a decent effort overall, but I expected better.
Ordered for collection , lamb rogan Josh, chips and pilau rice and 3 popadoms. This came to £18.95 which I thought was quite pricey compared to my usual place of choice. Took it home (only live round the corner) food like warm, and the tinest of portions!!!! Me and my little girl always share and there was hardly anything to share!!! Couldn’t rally believe the size of it! The taste was ok but not much sauce and quite dry! Would not go there again!
Food and service were very good, and there wasn’t the common situation where they hover over you trying to get you out of the premises as soon as possible, as is often the case at Indian restaurants. The only downside was that the place was empty, which was odd for a Friday evening. I’d certainly go back though.
Oct 2024 Still fabulous. This time I had a vegetable biryani medium hot with some paneer thrown into it. It was delicious. Of course a couple of pints of Cobra helped it all go down nicely.v
Oct 2023, Still my favourite curry restaurant. This time I had a couple sides with some garlic naan. The first side was Mattar Paneer (pea & paneer) medium hot. The second was Aloo Gobhi (cauliflower & potato). Washed down with a couple of pints of Cobra beer.
Oct 2022, Great selection of tasty food. They are happy to alter some dishes to suit the customer. Great for veggies who would like some paneer in their curry. Nice selection of beers and ciders on tap.
Nov 2021, Veggie Jalfrezi with Paneer chunks, Garlic Naan & Mushroom fried rice. Still great!
I ordered butter chicken and chilli cheese naan, wasn’t worth any of it. I couldn’t see the cheese in the naan only small cut ups of chilli, and the butter chicken was so sweet I felt like I was eating candy but coconut one.
Wasn’t happy with the food paying ££ that amount of ££ for food not worth it.
