Excellent food. Great service. Good value for money. Beats the normal Indian that we've all been used to. Recommend the lamb shank. Nice spicy starters.

Welcome was warm and friendly, atmosphere is good, but, best of all, the food was top notch. The menu gives customers plenty oh choice in terms of starters and mains with the staff only too willing to offer advice. Overall, this was a good dining experience. Given that the restaurant was well filled early on a Tuesday evening substantiates that point. We will definitely return. Jim McLean

This is our favourite Indian restaurant. The food is great, the atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are friendly. We always find no matter how long it is since we have been they remember who we are which makes for a more personal experience.

Food was pretty good however was let down by slow and what felt like unwelcoming service. This may have been down to it being busy however this is expected on a Saturday night peak time. Unfortunately will not be returning!

Great food - chicken was perfectly cooked and spicy. Excellent service with a smile and generosity of nature. The portions are very plentiful - food ordered for two could have fed three ! Definitely will return.

The food is fantastic; we had the dashboard lamb and vindaloo chicken. Rice, parantha, naan, roti and chutney. The vindaloo is not on the menu per week, but the chef prepared it for us...be forewarned, it was very hot!
