"On arrival the greeting was first class, made everyone aware of no alcohol but places close by to get a drink if needed, gave us a menu and in very cold night put the fire on (although was very cold in the restaurant! Pickle tray was fine with average generic sauces, starter was two of the smallest samosa I have ever seen then came the main.........Very poor! My partner being vegan asked for a spicy veg curry etc, I had the lamb bhuna. They were both a watery mess with 0 spice and no flavour, honestly so so bland! We left well over half of both, the mushroom rice was a good portion but very stodgy and stuck together! My keema nan was OK but nothing more than that but the cherry on the top was £8 for 4 small chapati, it's flour and water!!!!!!!! £8 for something not even the size of a regular naan when you added the 4 together. For what we had it was very expensive and we were hugely disappointed. The staff were pleasant but when questioned at the end just said sorry and were keen to usher us out the door as customers were close to the paying area. Sorry, but would not recommend at all"

Good service very basic menu but great to take your own alcohol with you but a great midweek place to go to for a quick meal and they do a special offer on a weds night that can’t be beaten

Super night out with friends; very welcoming atmosphere and delicious food. The price seemed reasonable; 'bring your own ' on drinks makes a difference. Looking forward to trying more dishes on another visit.

Staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a fun night. They wrote messages on our plates and provided a complimentary birthday cake and sang for my birthday. Food was good and reasonably priced . Liked bring your own booze . Staff were happy to put our wine in fridge. Thank you zeerah for good night.

The restaurant was able to accommodate four diners for two hours at short notice on a Friday evening. Service was efficient despite it being full. A good choice of tasty dishes served promptly. Remember to bring your own (alcoholic) drinks if you wish to – there is a Sainsbury’s Local just 50 metres along the road.

Fantastic meal, beautifully prepared meal and the service was perfection! BYO on the booze made it even better, especially with a Sainsburys local a couple of hundred yards away. Attention to detail was as good as it could possibly be when my starter arrived as per the attached photo, following an apparently innocent enquiry as to my football allegiances!!! View menu

We were a large group (13 which tested the mettle of the restaurant; the servers and kitchen rose to the occasion. We all shared an assortment of starters and everyone seemed pleased. My main was one of the chicken specialties (gulbahar? , which was delicious. The restaurant could accommodate varying tolerances to spice. It is BYOB, but the restaurant provided glassware and service was excellent.

Not sure what's happened here but can only imagine it's been taken over- this is not how this restaurant used to be. Absolute chaos would be the word that I would select to describe the experience- waited two hours for main courses that were very disappointing and swimming in oil once they arrived. Had to ask multiple times for drinks, water, the bill. Prices have also gone up so we paid £50 for 2 people to have main courses, popadoms and 2 soft drinks. Am not sure why there are no reviews here form some time- my advice would be to avoid as we will in the future.
