The food was delicious although a bit spicier than we're used to. The seats we were in, just below the pay booth were very cold whenever the door was opened as it was a very breezy night. Despite this,he atmosphere was great.

It was awful. Ordered wine they left it at the table and didn’t uncork it. Waited forever to order and longer for food. When it came the waitress cleaning the adjacent table sprayed detergent in the direction of our food. Then we were over charged

I think that more responsibilities should be given to the waiting staff to allow the restaurant to run more smoothly. At the moment it seems to be totally run by the maitre de

We had parked up and walked to the restaurant to be told it was closed due to a problem with th gas. Totally understandable but they could have informed us. We had booked so they would have had our details. Quite annoyed as it spoilt my finances birthday meal.

Time for a change so instead of my usual chicken curry I went with the lamb rogan josh and I have to admit I have been missing out on a great dish. Not one of your neon red curry sauce here this was a rich blended sauce with very tender diced lamb. I enjoyed the nan too bigger than the usual size in the south so worked great with the main dish.It was my first time hetrbut will not be the last can’t wait to go again.

Can't fault the food at all , we unfortunately was sat at a picnic table hidden behind a post , it was extremely busy and didn't want to make a fuss tho, we joked with waitress not to forget about us !! The waiter who brought out the food was in so much of a rush that he threw the food on the table and rushed off , again I know it was busy but please don't that let down the service !! Again the food was delicious tho x

This is a really good, modestly priced Indian restaurant . It has a good environment, busy, can be a little noisy, but that’s the noise of happy diners . There are many interesting dishes on the menu, the food is good quality , and the staff are friendly and attentive . It’s a good choice of restaurant , better food than many higher priced places .

Table was ready on time, service was good, starters were tasty and a good spiciness, chopped king prawn main madras hot was just that and good flavour, lamb vindaloo was excellent so was sag paneer. Just the garlic nan let them down as it was not very garlicky and when changed came back with garlic paste and was cold. Overall very good meal.

Food was generally good. One of the main courses wasn't what was ordered but it didn't really matter as all 4 dishes looked and tasted largely the same. Waiters were fun and welcoming but it seemed to take a very long time for each course to come out. It's the sort of place that I'd possibly not book again myself but would happily go back if i was invited as part of another group.

An excelent meal, location and staff. The pickle tray was tasty and nice to nibble on whilst perusing the menu. We shared starters which were all enjoyable with a nice kick. Then my main, lamb on the bone, was delicious. Really tasty although it was milder than expected. Great meal all around.
