We craft elaborate biriani dishes with fragrant basmati rice and tender meat or vegetables. Each platter combines carefully layered spices and ingredients, creating complex flavour profiles that reflect traditional Indian rice cooking techniques.

Have to say I've never had a more tasteless Indian dinner. We ordered takeaway and although the portions were a good size my chicken mahal just tasted of chicken in gravy, no spice or taste at all...and I'm covid free so there's no reason I shouldn't taste anything! Our starter order was wrong as well. Very expensive to have a tasteless dinner.

Lovely friendly restaurant, but on two consecutive occasions the food has been extremely salty. This has been with several different dishes. Not sure if there may have been a change of chef .
