We very much enjoyed the combination of tapas, cocktails and Indian food. Food was well priced, portions ideal and, after 4 or 5 dishes, some rice ans a naan, washed down with some tasty cocktails, we were very happy indeed. We would highly recommend this restaurant as an alternative to the traditional Indian restaurant where the portions are massive and you go for the one dish. Here you can dabble with a "risky" choice without being left with nothing to eat Haha.
Edit: visited again last night (28/12/21) and still wonderful.

No sauce with pakora….so very dry! Curry cost £11.95 and no rice included.. Not much spice to curry…very bland. Expensive and not large portions for what you pay.

It was excellent to have someone who really knew their stuff. The main dish he recommended was superb with
