Told staff that I wanted a seperate bill but this was quickly forgotten. Pilau rice was dry. Lamb Sag was nice. Tables too small, so felt crampt. Staff got bill wrong causing unnecessary stress after meal. Bill was confusing as badly hand written.

Food is always, and I mean, always great. The tandoori chicken, the bhuna and tikka masala... poppadoms... yes, this is the best Indian food ever. We drive a long way just to go there. And the hosts are always so attentive, cheerful and pleasant!

Pleasant experience with Shah and sonny being very good hosts. Extremely good quality food and always enjoy a challenge to give Steve(my husband) the hottest curry imaginable. Steve has been using this restaurant for over 30 years and it's only got better with time. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.
