The tester menu is very nice and give you a very good verity of food. Yet, if Id go again Ill have chops because they are super delicious and yummy. The spicy level is also good (i.e. medium). The price may vary according to the menu but for the tester menu was 35 yet you get enough food.

Working away from home a lot, I always choose a restaurant by the review rating. Quite often these dont live up to expectation. Not in this case! A lovely country location and building, tastefully decorated and with attentive, well mannered, professional staff. The food was outstanding!!! Probably some of the best indian food I've ever had (and I've had a lot). You wont be disappointed.

We ate in a group of 6, Sunday night. Ambience and cleanliness of the restaurant was good. However, the food was poor. Lacked depth in flavour through ALL the dishes. Poor saag (just simple spinach which was under-seasoned and lacked all the finesse of a proper indian saag dish). Mixed grill sharing platter was under-seasoned - a theme that ran through all the dishes. Poor Jalfrezi. Tandoori chicken was a grilled chicken (no tandoori) with chips!! When questioned, was told it was tandoori chicken. We didn't argue, this comment clearly tells them we won't return.!

Main course good, service slow and appalling at the end when my partner's dessert arrived and I was then told that they had run out of what I ordered. Surely they should have told me sooner? Won't be going back and certainly won't recommend to anyone
