"With over 200 reviews and 200,000 readers mostly for restaurants and eateries, I'm not new to this, I live locally and had good reports about the Anise from about half a dozen individuals. We visited on Friday evening at 6pm as we prefer quieter periods as you tend to be served quicker etc It was quiet with one table occupied, we had spiced onions and poppadoms my wife opted for the onion bhaji which was a generous portion and very tasty, I had the fish pakora which was cooked to perfection and a generous 6 pieces. The wifes main was chicken shashlik with boiled rice, I opted for the south indian garlic chilli chicken with garlic naan both dishes were generous in portions and absolutely delicious, I very rarely award 10/10 for food but this is an exception. The staff were friendly and efficient, the food exquisitely fresh and superb My favourite food is Indian having visited multiple Indian restaurants the Anise is right up there with the very best, book it, you wont be disappointed, prices are reasonable given the portions are generous, we had two large glasses of wine and two pints of Kingfisher £48 for the food, £26 for the drinks, £5.80 a pint is expensive but very refreshing"
