I'm a bit disappointed. The restaurant forgot our achar gosht. They redeliverd it fairly quickly with what seemed to be a madras... rather than what we'd ordered. The food was also rather bland and underseasoned. They were however polite and pleasant.

I can honestly say that this is one of the best Indian meals I have had in a long while. The food was spot on and full of flavour and absolutely delicious. The waiters were kind and attentive. Well worth checking them out if you fancy a decent sit down meal.

My husband and I went here to celebrate our anniversary recently and had a great time. Staff was very welcoming and professional, the atmosphere was good, everything was clean and neat, the prices are affordable and the food is excellent, we especially enjoyed the Gandhi lamb special. A big recommendation from me.
