"We arrived ten minutes before our booking and we're seated immediately. Very lovely girl on reception who explained how it worked. The server arrived promptly to take our drinks orders, then we tried the starters. Most were fabulous, my favourite was the chilli cauliflower outstanding! Hubby loved the chickpeas. All were hot, and starters were being replenished as they got low. They don't appear to do a massive quantity each time, which makes sense if you want to keep the quality of the food. For my taste, the paneer had far, far too much cardamom and it was unpleasant to eat. The mains were very good. Hubby had the lamb dishes and he was very happy with the quality of the meat. He also had the fish curry which he enjoyed. Both of us were hugely impressed with the rice, but felt the naan was a little dry. The Vege curries were great, especially the saag aloo! Wow! However, again the paneer was dominated by far too much Cardamom rendering it inedible. The fresh noodles were outstanding. The chef cooking did it to absolute perfection! He was polite and friendly, as we're all of the staff. Desserts were plentiful, lots to choose from. Highly recommend the Gulab Jamon and the mango rice pudding luscious! I really felt compelled to write a positive review as the previous reviews seem very unfair. For a buffet , this is fantastic! Of course there are some dishes that weren't outstanding/ not at all to my taste, but there were loads that were. For what we ate, and the excellent, friendly service we received, this was incredible value. We both left very, very full and very happy. This is the first time we have eaten here and will definitely return and recommend. Hubby is British Indian and over half the diners in tonight we're Asian origin, so I'm not sure at all where the other reviewer was eating at?"
