"Restaurant itself looks unappealing with takeaway packaging stacked floor to ceiling by the entrance and the whole place looks tired. Both the poppadoms and naan we're overcooked (base of naan was black). Bhuna sauce was watery and over large chunks of chicken meant that the meat lacked flavour. The food wasn't expensive but it certainly wasn't cheap as a takeaway. The whole experience felt like the staff have given up don't care. Won't be back, there are lots of better places."

"For an evening where the restaurant was not overly busy the staff were very inattentive. It took nearly 25 mins to be offered a drink on arrival. In addition, whilst we asked for a break between our main and dessert after more than 20 minutes nobody came to enquire I'd we were ready or would like another drink even. We left and had dessert elsewhere."

"I had booked this restaurant for my 60th birthday and was excited to have a steak. Unfortunately, there was an issue and they were out of steak. I decided to try another dish and it turned out to be really delicious. The food at this restaurant is wonderful. The only drawback was the service - we had to wait a long time for our food and were only asked once if we wanted drinks."

"I checked the restaurant's website for gluten-free options, but couldn't find any mention of them, despite the "Find Me Gluten Free" webpage claiming they were available. It was a waste of my time. I was disappointed to discover that they didn't actually have any gluten-free options after all the effort I went through to find them."
Pizza • Pasta • Vegan • Italian
"I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. After enjoying a delicious gluten-free pizza at a sister restaurant in Bury St Edmunds, I was surprised when the waiter advised against getting a pizza and recommended pasta instead. The pasta dish I ended up having was lackluster and no better than what I could have made at home. I was really looking forward to having pizza. The staff seemed uninterested and were standing around looking bored. The restaurant was nearly empty, with most of their business coming from takeaways."
