Bloody expensive, and the food was distinctly average. The bill came and the drinks were not itemised so we could not check the validity of the amount we were charged. Won't be returning

Waiting two hours for an order (two curries, rice, bread and starter)... Still not arrived. Called the restaurant, all orders have left kitchen. Called 30 minutes later... Will check and call you back. No call back received. Called again, spoke to the manager - sorry kitchen is busy and it's arriving any minute... That was 10 minute ago. Save yourself the hassle. At 9:30pm don't really want my dinner now. I expect a wait on a Saturday night but over two hours is crazy and no customer service to go with it.

Dropped in for diner after and even walk in the Beeches. Very welcoming and clean. Food was excellent, well presented and well priced. Portion size was good but not excessive so able to enjoy the meal without waste

Never visit this restaurant! Reservation at 715pm, they served poppadoms and despite multiple prompts, they didn't serve any other food or even clear the table until well past 925pm. Eventually we had to walk out without any food. More than 2 hours with no food is not any way to treat your customers.
