Not nice madras, but unfortunately didn’t like the lamb tikka biryani (pretty sweet taste) also the Peshawari naan wasn’t nice at all unfortunately. Also ordered meat samosas n got vegetable samosas instead, popadoms were not fresh. I don’t usually order lamb tikka biryani or peshwari naan from ere, I do from elsewhere, but thought I’d give it a try, unfortunately won’t be ordering that again. Was disappointed on the food this time, I order DESI once a week n sometimes twice a week.

AMAZING!!!! Food was great , vibes was good staff was amazing and very catering . There was 22 of us for a birthday meal and they help made everything run smoothly and the birthday boy really enjoyed his time. Also they was great with my Autistic son they split his food up in different bowls and even offered him Ketchup and he was over the moon

possibly one of the worst curry's I've ever experienced, no flavour and watery, full of grease too. Waste of money and ended up in the bin.

chicken and lamb was tough and dry. I would say it's been sitting pre-cooked in the fridge for far too long. Bombay potatoes had a strange taste. Sheek kebab was OK as was cooked fresh. Shame as used to be decent.

Ordered a take out tonight as it was a special occasion. Firstly they charge for a carrier bag priced at 20p that is extortion. The food was cold! Bhajis were dripping oil, and soggy. The dupiaza ordered was overly spiced, far too much chilli. Inedible due to it. The meat was tough too. The lamb dish was the same and the meat was so tough it could not be chewed. Poppadums were smashed to bits like dust! £60 odd in the bin. We will never return as it was absolute rubbish! Terrible that they serve cold inedible food we are less than 0.5 miles away so no excuse!

Small touches made this experience exceptional such as the dry ice on the table when the mains arrived, the warm hand towel and the chocolate with the bill.

Can’t believe how expensive your chicken madras is!!! From £10.95 to £12.95!!!! Your curry is already expensive sir, n now it’s even more expensive, you don’t even pay that price in Mayfair!!! Everywhere else in grays Indian restaurants the madras is between £7.45 to £8.95!!!!! I’m sorry you really need to reduce your prices!!!! Not just on the madras. After 15years buying from you, I’ve gone somewhere else. I used to buy of you 2/3 times a week!!!! Now I buy from Agra n it’s as good as yours for £7.95!!!! I’ll comeback when you’ve reduced your prices on everything. Thank you so much. I just had to tell you, before you start losing customers 1 by 1!!! Thank you so much.

Save your money for a proper Indian, the food had no taste the sauce was watered down with no consistency whatsoever. This is by far the worst Indian I’ve ever tried, probably have more taste with a microwave meal from Icelands rather than a £76 meal that already had a 40% discount added. Please use a different restaurant!
