We specialise in crafting traditional Indian dishes alongside chef-curated specialties, ensuring every guest experiences the depth of Indian cuisine. Our commitment to quality extends to our takeaway service, where meals are freshly prepared daily using the same ingredients as our restaurant offerings. With a 100-seater capacity and a 97% customer satisfaction rate, we prioritise warm hospitality and attentive service.Our team takes pride in accommodating special requests, including custom dish preparations, to ensure every dining experience meets individual preferences.

Our second visit to the Raj gate and its a very busy restaurant which speaks volumes about the quality of the food and the pleasant decor of the place. In the mood for something spicy my choice was a lamb madras which didn't disappoint and the lamb itself was cooked to perfection, great service here from a polite and dedicated team made the night a great success

Its been a couple of years since I last went here, but my god I dont know why I waited so long. Got a takeaway and it has got to be the best Indian meal I have had in a very very long time. Everything was tasty and fresh and very reasonably priced too.
