Good food, but VERY slow service. It was so slow, one person in our party had to leave before our dessert was served, which was more than an hour and a half after we ordered lunch.

We were a party of four looking for some Indian food. Two in the party were of Indian an Pakistan descendants. We ordered spicy fish, prawn, Birianni? And chicken korma. All meals were tasty but a few more prawns would have been welcome. There were many people of Indian-Pakistan origin,dining, always a good sign. We all enjoyed our meal and will return. It was my second visit.
