Very attentive and professional staff. Food was decent but nothing really stood out as being amazing. Seeing all the positive reviews I had hoped for more.

Absolutely unbelievable. I cant find the words to describe this place but I will try to cover it with one. Splendid. The food, the service was brilliant and a special mention to the chef. A real technician. I have been a regular here since July 2020 and I will never EVER go to another Indian. If youre reading this I recommend booking a table as soon as possible as it will be booked up throughout the whole of 2022.

Just walked out of here after paying for our drinks and popadoms which came to 9.80 for a large coke and cobra shandy. We ordered 2 pilau rice, onion bhajis, chicken tikka main and chicken korma with 2 naan breads. Chicken korma and chicken tikka main the chicken was extremely dry. It's as if the chicken was overcooked seperately and the sauce was poured over the top.
Was disgusting! Especially after waiting an hour we expected fresh and it wasn't even overally hot in temperature! Will definitely not be returning! Maybe you have to be drunk before eating here!
