Food looks really nice but its bland. No taste at all. Explains why theyre always offering big discounts online. I think theyre struggling to keep their customers. A shame because its in a nice location with nice waiters. What they really need though is a new chef.

Went here to eat in on New Years Eve
Restaurant wasnt busy at all
Waited 30 minutes for drinks that we ordered when we got there to arrive
Waited 90 minutes for our starters to come out
Then a further 30 minutes for mains
Didnt bother with desert as we just wanted to leave after spending 3 hours in the restaurant
Poor service
When mains came out 2 of the 5 people we were with there mains were cold mentioned in to the girl and didnt get much response
Normally we have takeaways from here every week and its phenomenal food and thought eating in would be a nice experience if

We ordered food for 10 people and they smashed it. Honestly the food tasted fantastic and all arrived hot and ready to go. The spicy chips are REALY BLOODY HOT!!! Stay away from the spicy chips unless you like a challenge. The curries and the sides are delicious!!!

We have a delivery every few weeks as in our opinion it's one of the better food outlets in Stafford, it also helps the meal go down when your delivery driver Rob starts it off with some wicked banter

Delicious Indian food lots of choices, they don't have license for selling alcohol so we brought our own with us. However soft drinks are available and the Mango Lassey was lovely and good value.

Would of been 5 stars as we've been to this restaurant before and the food has always been very nice
However with our last order, we didn't get the food until nearly 2 hours after, one of the rice dishes were missing and also the sauces and onion pots that come with it. The poppadoms were stale and food wasn't as hot as it usually is.
Thankfully the food was still nice and enjoyed just a little dissapointed with this one. They did send out a new rice with the driver to replace it for free

We had two curries with mix of chicken, lamb and King prawns. Both were delicious with lots of flavour. The Naga was taken down a notch in terms of spiciness and we probably would have enjoyed it with the full level of spiciness because of its yummy flavours. The service was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.
