The Best restaurant with cuisine going above and beyond my expectations. This is a MUST TRY for Indian Cuisine Lovers ESPECIALLY. Try NOW.
Bring your own booze, I saw others bring there own soft drinks which I thought a bit cheeky but they didn’t say anything. Glasses and a jug of ice no problem.food top notch, without the drinks it was less then 50 me and wife starters, main, rice and sides. There was a service charge only I noticed on the bill I think 2.80 per person, i didn’t see it in the menu. Anyway all considered it’s quite reasonable.
My king prawn byriani was so flavoursome. I asked them to do a madras veg curry instead of the usual mild one. Made it even better. We also order a garlic chicken that had a little tasty kick without being silly. Nice service. Bring your own as well. Great.
Lovely food and good service.
My wife and I fancied a curry and thought we would give this place a try for the first time. Menu had so much choice and rather than go for our usual we tried the set menu for two. Really good tasting food and generous portions. Interior is dated but alright 80s vibe as we would remember. The also have a takeaway delivery service and seemed busy with that even though we got there when it opened. Worth just looking at the menu to see how comprehensive it is...too much choice.
Fantastic service and the food was delicious. Even my kids loved it. Would highly recommend ...
What an outstanding service, polite, on time, food immaculate, best take out i have had!!!! Added to their honesty, delivery man turned up, apparently i had not paid, still gave me the food, based on he trusted me, immediately called restaurant, gave the relevant details to pay... How many businesses operate with those morals and, on that level, you deserve 10 stars, as does your delivery guy!!!
I’m not as fond of Indian food as my partner but I have to say my meal was amazing! The onion Bajhi’s were crisp, the birihani & vegetable curry so moreish I wanted to eat the lot but hate that stuffed to the gills feeling so took half back to our holiday let for lunch/ dinner today. The service was great we didn’t have to wait long for our food. We walked to the restaurant so we could have a beer but it’s not licensed , didn’t realise that we planned on getting a taxi back but Evan, a restaurant college, offered to drive us back, now that’s service! He even gave us his number to call him if we need a ride elsewhere. I’m sure we will eat there again, or maybe get a take out delivery before we go back home.
