Wow! What can I say? This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The food is very delicious! The staff are so friendly, warm and accommodating! They really make you feel at ease and they are very interactive! The atmosphere is second to none, especially on a Friday night. You can also bring your own alcohol, which is really good as well. It's very rare that I give an establishment a 5 star rating all round, but this restaurant definitely deserves it. Highly recommended!

A fantastic experience! The staff are very friendly and attentive and the food is amazing! We had a 4-course meal for only £15! 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. Shout out to Sunny who was our waiter who went above and beyond to make our night what it was. We will be back for 'Curryoke' Friday! Highly recommend visiting this restaurant 👍🏼

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.

A disappointing meal in as much as the sauces were thin and lacked flavour. Both meals contained Chicken tikka and the Biryani meat was better tasting and hotter than the tikka Madras. However, the biryani was also lacking in flavour overall. The accompanying vegetable side was hard to distinguish and mainly contained beans/peas and a few mushrooms. It was very watery. The Peshawary nan was very dry and very burnt in places. Onion side dish were not reheated sufficiently and were extre

So called Indian restaurant where no Indians or Asians can been seen eating. Chicken wings were served uncooked ( not done in a tandoor ). Was served a cider instead of a beer, guess none of the staff drinks to understand alcohol. Goan fish curry on the menu, when asked the waiter does not know what is the base of the curry. This is not an Indian restaurant but a Bengali one. Would not recommend

Had a reservation booked for tonight at 8pm, unfortunately we weren’t able to make it due to personal circumstances and didn’t have the time to call before hand to cancel. Around the time of my booking I recieved a phone call from a member of staff screaming down the phone at me for not making my reservation saying I am ‘losing them loads of profit’. I found this very unprofessional and has tarnished my view as a regular customer. I explained my circumstances which the member of staff seemed to have no time for and if anything aggravated him more. I am really disappointed as I am a regular customer here and have always enjoyed dining in.
