The food was OK, a bit oily and nowhere near spicy but I have certainly had worse food for that money.

Absolutely dreadful. Worst Indian restaurant we've been to. Curry totally bland and tasteless. All sauce and very little meat. Definitely would not recommend. Very dissatisfied.

Food was good. The curry could use more of the curry tangy flavour. The biggest downside of the dining experience was that we felt rushed. Staff constantly pushing us for orders, asking we finished eating and then the payment.

Ambience could be improved. Maybe some tablecloths, and one of those candle trays to keep the food hot. Also maybe some oranges to cleanse our palates at the end of the meal. And most important of all, some minty chocolates with the bill 😊

we have eaten in many indian, bangladeshi and nepalese restaurants, but have to say that the chicken jalfrezi and prawn madras were the best curries we have ever had. Will definitely go back 10 out of 10
