We went here for my mothers birthday. The team here went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable (kept away from the air conditioning and provided a heater) (shes very fussy!), and that we felt special with a complimentary drink and cake. The service was excellent, and the food was amazing. Highly recommended!

Large restaurant. Usual menu selection of food with 20+ specials. I've been in a few times over ten years and never been disappointed. Equal in standard to other establishments close by.

Excellent meal, two chef's specials plus three side dishes were all freshly cooked and very tasty. Well presented and great service. Having been to a couple of other Indian cuisine restaurants in Marlow and Cookham this is definitely the better option. Would highly recommend

Fabulous Indian themed free flowing prosecco afternoon tea. The food was excellent, very generous portions (we took the excess home in containers). Fantastic value for money. This offer runs until the end of March and you pay a 10pp deposit. I would thoroughly recommend it.
