"We had a great thrum with the buildup to my cousins 16th birthday. Heard nothing but glowing reports of the restaurant and service as family have been eating there for 12/13 years. Me and my missus were first to arrive, told at the door there was no booking with our name and it might be the Indian up the street. Called family organiser who confirmed I was in right place and had email (or Facebook) confirmation of reservation. Scramble to arrange tables in private function room when rest of family arrived, a large group of people standing in the cold. Drinks service for 15 people took 35 minutes, we brought our own alcohol, so that was for soft drinks and glasses. Waited further 10 minutes for order to be taken. Around 30 minutes on starters, they were tasty enough. 30 more minutes before someone cleared starters. Had lady serving soft drinks who made a point of saying I don 't even work here . 45 minute wait and plates came out for the main course, they were warm. 25 minute further wait for main courses to arrive plates and food was freezing by then. Not everything arrived. Young server with nose piercing had been doing his absolute best, serving a big party mostly alone, running the food and dealing with other customers. I 'm an area manager within the hospitality sector at present, there 's so much more I could say but keeping it simple, the young lad done his best under the circumstances. Family members who were familiar with the staff and restaurant asked to speak with the owner. He refused to come out of the kitchen and speak with said family members, telling the same young lad to come out, deal with us and offer a 15% discount. Appallingly unacceptable. The food smelt gorgeous, it was just a shame that every dish on the table was stone cold and half arrived. We went back to the 16th birthday 's house and ordered pizzas. Brought stress and upset to not only the family and the birthday boy, but the young server was clearly taking it personal as he felt he let us down young man you did not let us down, you were let down by the owner of that restaurant and done the best under the circumstances you were given. It won 't be any time soon, though I do wish to eventually try this Biryani I 've heard so much about. Pity."

Ate here at 8pm on a Saturday night. Service was very prompt. The meal was lovely. I'd give it an 8 outta 10 .

The food at this restaurant is consistently spot-on, always warm and delicious. The service is top-notch as well. It stands out as one of the best Indian restaurants for takeout with high-quality food.

The service at this restaurant was disappointing, as my meal arrived more than 40 minutes after everyone else at the table had finished eating. By the time it arrived, all the side dishes were cold. When I mentioned this to the staff, I was not offered fresh sides and ultimately ended up not eating my dinner as everyone else had already finished.

Ewan was my server and he created a glorious, spiritual bending, gotte level experience. it's like I'm with him on a date with how polite he was! I could just dream. a young server called noah also provided for a friendly atmosphere and asked me how service could be as good and fast. noah gilchrist was all up! btw my donar kebab was poured on the sticks!

Sorry for writing this but have been going here for around 12 years and have enjoyed it with no real issues apart from tonight. 16th party booked and confirmed for tonight. Nope they didn’t have booking. Ok they said they could do it, nope long waits and wrong starters. Then a long wait for mains which I’m sorry to say cold. So wrong on every level. Now sitting eating dominoes pizza which is not what everyone wanted. When an owner refuses to come out and speak and leaves his young staff to deal says it all. We may forgive soon but need time.

I use to have a favourite Indian, now I have a new one!! Fantastic food but not only does that bring me back but the really lovely lady who serves. She is super friendly so happy and always has time for a chat. (She was working 27/7/23)What is the point of fantastic food if the staff are poor. This place has it all. When I was in a customer who had been dinning in came over to tell her that she was the nicest and best waitress he ever came across....I have to agree. Love this place, the customer service and food I wouldn't go anywhere else now
User
the food was very good, on which all in our group of 12 agree. but with only one waitress, because of a personal question, the service was very slow and the eating took a long time to come. service was nice, pleasant, unaffected and she did it very best in participating in us. more personal resources were assigned for takeaway and delivery, even if this bit was quiet and I had to ask one of them to help her when our food was finally ready. the eating and the beautiful waitress saved this review from a 3* or even 2* and management here could do better imho
