"I’d heard many great things about this Friends restaurant and it certainly didn’t disappoint!The food, the service, the atmosphere – all fantastic, top notch.Lovely settings, extremely clean, well lit and comfortable without being overly formal.The service was warm and welcoming, attentive and friendly without being over bearing.We were lucky enough to chat with the manager who told us about the history and origins of the restaurant and the food- have a chat too and find out for yourself!You’d expect all the above from most restaurants.But the food at friends is exceptional.We had the mixed meat starter and the spicing was extraordinary – like being in India itself.So many different spices and flavourings perfectly blended, such that it all blends together but during the eating you can taste the spices individually breaking through on your palate.So fresh and so high quality.I only wish I hadn’t eaten the whole day so as to make the most of this feast- luckily they were so kind and friendly any scraps I was not able to consume were carefully packed up for me to to thoroughly enjoy the next day.A wonderful experience – I cannot speak highly enough of."

Lovely food, tastes fresh and the service and team are very good.We have been here a few times to eat in and take away and can't fault it.Parking can be found at the rear in the village pay and display. If you live local, it's worth the walk!

This Indian restaurant is excellent. The staff are knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend the lamb shank, it was delicious. The atmosphere could use some improvement. Overall, a great dining experience. dine-in dinner costs around £20-30 per person. Food and service both rated 5 stars, while the atmosphere was rated 4 stars.

We booked for 7pm on a Friday evening, and apart from one other diner who arrived a little later, the restaurant had no other diners by the time we left two hours later (the take-away service, however, seemed very busy). This is surprising because the food and service were absolutely superb and reasonable value. The lamb shank and king prawn passanda were delicious, and the peshwari naan was good too not too sweet, and I like that they cut it into pieces which makes it more hygienic to share. Our only criticism is that they don't have draught beer, and worse still, they only serve small bottles of Cobra (please serve big bottles in pint glasses Nevertheless, we really enjoyed our meal and wi...
