"The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere and the service is commendable, but the prices are quite steep, averaging around £15 per dish, which feels excessive for an Indian restaurant. The starters were decent, but all of the mains were overly oily and heavy; after just a few bites, they became too much to enjoy. Given the quality of the food served, the prices are simply too high, making it unlikely that we would return. It's unfortunate because the service was excellent, but the overall value for the money just isn't there."

An excellent establishment. I have no complaints about the service, the food, or the value for money.

The food is of excellent quality and the service is outstanding. I can honestly say I haven't found anywhere that can surpass it.

I visited the restaurant on Saturday evening; we had a reservation for 8 PM, but our main course didn't arrive until around 9:50. The service was terrible. View menu

Upon our arrival, we received a truly warm welcome, and our group of four, along with a baby, was seated with ease. My grandson was comfortably placed in the provided high chair.

Unfortunately, the service was terrible—we waited over two hours for our main course. It seems they have focused too much on takeaway orders and neglected their dine-in customers.

To begin with the positives, the food was quite enjoyable. However, the service was extremely disappointing. I understand it was a Saturday night, but it felt like the attention was primarily on the... View menu

"Visit with friends. Arrived and the restaurant was very empty at that time of the evening. Shown to a table that had been allocated to us. Asked if we could move to another and I was initially given the impression that that might be difficult. Just to say again that the tables were allocated rather than reserved. Another customer was making a similar request and after some back and forth we could both move. Not the greatest of starts. This restaurant specialises in Punjabi cuisine. That is what attracted us in the first place when reviewing the menu online before we booked. Starters were of a generous size but rather stodgy. Perhaps more filling for a starter than you might expect particularly if you had ordered a main course and were intending to have a dessert. In contrast my wives dessert was very small for the price charged. The main courses were very spicy even though we requested mild. I appreciate that is a preference on our parts but my wife felt the same. We went with a friend who was visibly sweating. He comment on his main fish course was that under the spice it was a little bland. A lady I took to be the owner asked if we were enjoying our main couse? We commented on how spicy they were and asked for some yoghurt to cool them down. This was supplied with no issues and in fact my wife's prawns (only three found sadly) and my lamb main course were taken back to the kitchen to have I assume some of the chillies taken out or additional yoghurt added. This was done very politely and efficiently. Just to add we have absolutely no issues with regional food differences whether they may be. Perhaps our preference in this instance for less spice takes away from the experience the restaurant seeks to give. However requesting when ordering a mild version, and when asked what we preferred as well, makes the customer right. To drink. A beer for me and our friend. A cranberry juice for my wife which apparently tasted like a squash. Service left something to be desired as well I am afraid. On our initial table three menus supplied. On the second only one and had to ask for two more. Table wiped down after our main courses but only one corner? Had to ask several times for the bill, having asked the lady above who dealt with the spicy food issues. In fact she was eating her evening meal behind us with other customers and jumped up and apologised when she realised she had not let us have our bill. The waitress who we dealt with initially about our table allocation asked at the end of our meal if we had enjoyed it and if we would return. Afraid we said no to both. We had a mutually respectable conversation as to why not and discussed the issues above and others. So a disappointing evening I am afraid. However this is a true reflection of our experience from our perspectives."
