Good value for your money. Always cheerful welcome from the staff. Service can be slightly slower when very busy. Nevertheless will return again.

Food was really nice. Had a party of 14, service was a bit slow but was good otherwise. Very decent price as well. Food was very tastey.

Back to the quality of a few years ago. If you haven't been for a while it really is worth going again. My suggestion try something off the specials menu. Super tasty. We went with friends, great atmosphere and friendly staff.

We love their food! One of the best Indian-Pakistani Restaurant in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire ! We've tried most of the non veg dishes. Our personal favorites are Tarka Daal, Bhindi Sabzee, Chicken Bemisaal and Hari Mirch Ka Bhoona Gosht!(we always mention to them 'Asian style' to add the extra spice) Amazing food! Staff is friendly too! Delivery some times take time during weekends, considering their busy times. In that case we prefer take-away or enjoying food in restaurant mostly! Certainly recommend!
