Food was as expected, no complaints. However for 3 people it was was 179, we had 2 pints of cobra each, 2 starters between the 3 and 2 side with the mains. Absolute rip off. What a joke.. Avoid.

Sorry, I couldn't find less than this 1 star, else would have picked up for their food and their response. Reason for this review is not only the poor quality of some of the food but the staff's rude attitude when called to provide my feedback. Have ordered over phone for take away, 1 Butter chicken, 2 Boiled rice, Naan, Roti, Mix veg. Curry and Sweet Lassi
Butter Chicken - chicken and gravy tastes with sweet texture (that's fine), but with Peppers? and almost 100gm of Butter on top (snaps attached). Never experienced such a butter chicken in my life and the price is high too 15.95.
