"Before going to this restaurant, I read other reviews and was greeted by a grumpy elderly gentleman at the front of house who didn't make us feel welcome. He showed us to a table almost reluctantly, giving the impression that he would rather be doing takeout orders. Despite feeling tempted to leave, it was my wife's birthday and we decided to stay. Fortunately, the food turned out to be exceptional and made up for the lack of hospitality and poor service. Without the delicious food, I would have given this place one star. The quality of the food deserves five stars. It wasn't a pleasant experience to feel unwelcome in a hospitality setting, and I wonder how long this restaurant will stay open with such bad staff. However, the elder gentleman did pack up my wife's leftovers for us to take home, which was a nice gesture. I recommend using this place for takeout, as the food is excellent. If you do dine in, just ignore the grumpy elder staff member who detracts from the amazing food. There's no excuse for such poor service."

Unfortunately service was very bad, slow, not attentive. We ordered Prosecco for 3 people, they only had 2 glasses and didn’t even have a wine cooler. They also don’t serve paneer. Very overpriced. Service: Dine in Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

I had the Butter dish with lamb for $18.95. just a small metal plate with five small ie Ed of lamb. No rice or Nan. I had to order plain white rice for an additional $3.95. One soda was $3.95. The flavor was good but this restaurant is way overprice.

Lovely food and service. We ordered a range of different food and it was all delicious, the pakora was lovely and fresh tasting, not greasy at all and the bread was fresh and light too. Everything was done very nicely. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40 View menu

Arrived on a wet midweek December evening. So no surprise to end up dining alone. A couple were just finishing their meal as I walked in. Food was very good and I was very satisfied. Lower marks for service and atmosphere because it was very quiet. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

A really good option for sit down or takeaway. I recommend the chilli garlic tikka. Parking: It is possible to park outside, but if your having a sit down meal, I'd suggest the main carpark in town. It's only a short walk away. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30

Was served a chicken biryani last night, and the chicken used was off, rotten, discernable from the first smell of the dish. Quite how any chef could allow that to leave the kitchen I do not know. Service was fine, the waiter removed the dish without query or complaint and I was not charged for my food. I have eaten there before, but will never return. View menu

This was our first visit to this restaurant and we really enjoyed the food. The popadoms and pickle tray starter were delicious, and for our mains we had the dansak and jalfrezi, both with chicken tikka, which were also lovely. The naan bread and rice were excellent as well. The atmosphere could use a slight improvement; perhaps playing the music a bit louder would help so that we didn't feel so isolated. Despite that, we had a great evening overall. (The waiter even went out of his way to bring us pink Prosecco). We will definitely return to this restaurant.

Please read a lot of these reviews before considering going. Onion chutney was a chopped onion without seasoning or anything added. Chicken pakora was stodgy and in batter with no spice (sure from Iceland which is actually an insult to Iceland No sauce or flavour and £8.50 was disgusting and tasteless so decided to complain. The owner was very rude to us so because to this we decided to pay for what we’d eaten or not eaten and left. The poorest meal and service I have ever experienced and will remember for all the wrong reasons. £12.50 for king prawn starter which was 3 prawns and not KING. £7.95 bottle Cobra lager. Avoid.
