Dined here once before, a few years ago now and we really enjoyed it then so we decided to go back. This venue has transformed into a fantastic Indian restaurant, the menu and the food is fantastic and the staff are professional and friendly.

I loved my meal here. The food, service, welcome and drinks were all exceptional. The menu is interesting with choices that go far beyond what you'd usually see. Our waiter talked us through the options and curated some great choices for us all and to complement each other. My starter of soft shell crab was cooked perfectly, so as to be light yet crisp. My lamb shank main a highlight. It was tender, rich and tasty meat with delicate spicing. The daal accompanying it was perfect. I'd especially mention the tasty veggie side dishes and wide choice of breads. The wine list was competitively priced

This is clearly the best indian restaurant by far that we have visited over the years. Absolutely great and worth a detour. We were with a large party and we received a warm welcome and the seating in the restaurant gave us a feel of sitting comfortable in our living room. We had a vegetarian lunch. The starters were delicious and of the main dishes mouthwatering. The absolute best was their sweet potato kofta and thier dhal makhani. Also desserts were original and very enjoyable. We would highly recommend this restaurant.
