"We visited this restaurant twice before for the Thalis which were great. The meal ends quickly so we decided to go and sample the starters , main courses etc and linger a little, The starters were bizarre. One called pav bhaji a small vegetable curry came with a buttered burger bun. Why not a puri? My partner chose some mini vegetable pies(can't remember the name . They tasted like soap. The curries were better but hardly special. A dhansak advertised as three chillies in heat was mild and lacked that sweet and sour flavour. My partner's Rogan Josh was similarly unexciting. The best bit of the meal was the poppadum plate with chutneys. Service was efficient and friendly, though what the manager is up to parading around in a suit all the time I do not know. He needs to get into the kitchen and sort the food out. Stick to the thali if you visit."

"I have ordered delivery/takeout from this restaurant many times and the food quality is incredible. However, my recent dining experience was disappointing. I had made a reservation for an early dinner as I was with a pregnant friend and didn't want to keep her waiting long. Upon arrival, we waited at the door for a few minutes before being seated. We were given popadoms, but then waited for 20 minutes without menus, drinks, or a waiter in sight. I had to go find a menu myself. Feeling ignored, we decided to leave and I offered to pay for the popadoms we didn't ask for (which were surprisingly expensive at £4.95). This experience was a real letdown, especially considering the high quality of food I have received in the past from this restaurant. It seems like they should stick to what they do best and focus on takeout/delivery rather than dine-in service."
