I ate at the restaurant some years ago. It was ok. But I got a delivery from their takeaway a few days ago and it was absolutely lovely. Quick delivery friendly service. Food hot and very tasty. I'll be back for more.

The best Indian Takeaways I’ve ever eaten, we loved all our dishes. Would highly recommend the King Prawn Butterfly, Raisin Naan , Sag Aloo, Stuffed Jalapeños, Jhal Bhuna, Korma and Shadhlik Kebab.

So we ordered the Aloo Gobi and Cauliflower Bhaji, they sent us an Aloo Gobi with 1 potato in it so terrible dish and sent us another portion of Cauliflower in some sauce. I called the restaurant and explained… the situation, they went to check with the chef and said it was written down wrong but was correct. I confirmed we ordered Cauliflower Bhaji which was definitely not sent. The call handler confirmed they would give me a free Cauliflower Bhaji next time we ordered. I then asked if they’d be sending out the correct order and he confirmed they won’t be as the driver is out

Reasonably priced, excellent curry with fabulous flavours and quicker than expected delivery but why oh why would you spoil your food with sugar? We had 3 different curries and all were so sweet with sugar or something added that it ruined the meal for me!!

Second consecutive poor experience dining here, feel disinclined to give them a third attempt to offer the fine service their website mentions. There cant be many Indian Restaurants to be empty at 930 on a Saturday evening. Food tasty enough but service is woeful. One star only because I cant give less.
