After reading some reviews we were a bit worried about what the staff would be like but we couldn't fault them. The curry was lovely & my 4 & 6 year really enjoyed their korma. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food but very unprofessional staff and poor service. Google shows that they are open till 10:30pm and at 9:15 they asked us to leave the premise as they were closing. They do not know any common-sense, very rude service, they think they are kings and not the customers. I think they have just came from Bangladesh and they are unaware of the Customer hospitality in UK. They can be the best if some professionals guide them.
