Very tasty dishes - both the buffet and a la carte (quite mild). Very helpful staff, though a bit pushy for the buffet when we tried to order from the menu for one of our party who has food intolerances. Would love labelling on the buffet too say which allergens each contains (and ideally make more dishes wheat free) Very much recommended for a tasty meal in pleasant surroundings.

We've been here a couple of times. The buffet has a nice range of food, which is really tasty. The staff are fantastic and very helpful and the atmosphere is great. I highly recommend this place to others.

We planned to come here today as we have had our eye on it for a while we phoned up today to see what there opening times where and got through to a really rude man and when we asked about kids prices to be told they pay the same as adult is a bit ridiculous as my 5 year old wouldn’t eat the same as me or my partner neither would my 11year old what a shame really as Indian is our family favourite there loss I guess

Absolutely love this place! Food is delicious and good value for money- you can tell they were cooked by an experienced chef. The staff are all lovely and welcoming. Me and husband have recently moved to the area and this was the first Desi place we’ve tried and honestly it reminded us of home cooked food. Will deffo keep coming back here.

Always delicious food, very patient and friendly service, no compulsory tip (but you can add one and the waiters sure deserve it!), and comfortable chairs. Light, roomy atmosphere. Facilities clean, although you need to be careful of the step up to the toilet cubicles in the Ladies.

Had a great family meal. First time sampling the buffet event gave our daughters a great chance to have a try of different dishes with minimal waste. The staff are very friendly and great with the children. My 5 and 8 Yr old love the fact they say "please thank the chef, the food was great!" and they get a lollipop. Good way to get them to try new dishes.

This place has some mixed reviews, and fair enough, each to their own, but I have to say that myself, my wife and our 7 month old son absolutely loved our visit here for her birthday this evening. The food was absolutely top notch, every dish was super tasty, obviously freshly cooked, presented beautifully and as many others have said before me, the portions are grand! The service could not have been any better either, from recommending a wonderful main course for myself, to keeping our drinks topped up, and even the small touches like holding the door open for us to get the pushchair out, our every need was met. We both loved the extra attention to detail such as warm towels, chocolates with the bill, and to top it all off, a small gift from the manager, for which I am very grateful! Admittedly we went on a Tuesday evening, so the restaurant was quiet, but if we are ever back in the area we won’t hesitate to eat here again. Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable meal!

I feel as someone who visited here several times regularly I must say this is the best Indian restaurant I ve been to in a long time.i know lots of people who come from all over to visit, the food has always been spot on, they are always busy( there are loads of people picking up take out as well) always a good team of people serving the tables, the fact is they are busy, especially on fri or sat eve so yes sometimes the service is not as quick as people expect but the food is worth waiting for.

The + food, staff lovely The - please done cram people and orders in at busy times to get revenue as capacity is clearly too much for everyone. A long wait asking for service after 30 mins at a table…. Just cope with what you can, it’s not all about revenue, sometimes service and a better waiting time is better. Asking for just table water three times hour and a half later you get it …. Focus on the customer

Chicken tikka korma looked, smelt and tasted like they had added curry powder from Tesco, the chicken in it had a slightly mushy reformed quality that wasn’t particularly pleasant. Customer service was non existent, just give money and sit down and wait for your takeaway. This was a favourite takeaway before 2020. This was truly awful

We celebrated our twins' first birthday party at this restaurant. It was on a Sunday and so there was a buffet spread with many options and the food was delicious too. The lamb curry was a hit. We hosted around 40 people. They have a separate party hall which is quite spacious. If you're planning to throw a party then you can consider this restaurant. Overall, we had a lovely experience here.

A fine curry establishment. Used many times over the years and always been satisfied. Had a sit in meal over the weekend and no trouble getting a seat even though I hadn't reserved. It got pretty busy as the night progressed though. Food and service was excellent. We had a set vegetarian meal for two and there was loads. We even had to take some home.

well frankly speaking we were there for the first time and we ordered veg platter which was consisting of aloo chat and sasmosa's. it was disappointing to see that the food was not as per expectations of Indian food. Even ordered few veg dishes which again hoping for Indian taste, but the taste was not as per expectations. As a Indian I would like to say that this is not an Indian restaurant at all. Its completely misleading the customers on its name. Its more of Bangladeshi restaurant with not at all Indian taste.

Possibly one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to. I went twice in one week. The service is a little slow but when you realise just how busy the place is you can understand. The food is unbelievably good, particularly the nan bread. Great tasty food and everyone went home full and happy.

I went on a Saturday evening, by myself as husband was working. Served by very attentive, friendly and professional staff. I ordered chicken curry, rice and sag paneer (sag paneer as a starter, it was quite large) Delicious, was filled by the sag paneer and rice and didn't finish the curry (it was nice). Clean, airy restaurant, will come back and eat the same again. ☺️ Tuyet Greally

Booked a table, when we finally sat down after getting past queue heard next table complaining they had not had their order taken after 40 mins of waiting. I eventually got a writers attention and highlighted the the table next to us had not had their order taken and that nobody had asked if we wanted a drink or anything. He curtly replied ‘well we’re busy’ so I asked how long it will be until we are dealt with and with a shrug of his shoulders’ I dunno maybe 30 mins to 45 we’re busy’. That was enough for me we left and the table next to us decided did the same. Shocking service, I won’t darken their door again that’s for sure.

Always loved this place but went a couple of weeks ago and it felt very different. No atmosphere staff were very short and it felt like we were an inconvenience. We were told to hurry up with our starters because our mains were ready. I very rarely feel inclined to write a review but I have to say I was very disappointed. Food didn’t seem as good as it used to be either. It’s a shame because this used to be such a nice place to visit.

Overall a very disappointing and average meal. Difficulty booking over the phone. Uninterested front of house staff,felt like sitting in a waiting room. Small portions,very poor face to face service,no explanation of any house dishes,or recommendations,just a casual,and frankly casual approach to customers paying high amounts for very average food. I didn’t see 01staff members smile,and something has changed? At the end of the day customers are your business-look after them.

We've booked a table for Valentines Day.The food was tasty,staff was friendly and serving was excellent.Unfortunately 2nd day in the morning we both started to have symptoms of food poisoning.I was better in a couple of days but my missus was really really rough,she had all the package.We rang the restaurant but been assured that the food was fresh and cooked on the spot.Missus couldn't eat all her plate so we asked for her dish to be packed and we took it home.We are still waiting for results but my guess,it was the seafood.If the tests are coming back negative,I will apologise and uptade the review.We won't be visiting again.

I recently went here for a family birthday in total 11 people. I understand that the more people you won’t get your food as quick as a table of 2. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to have our starters and over 1 hour for mains to arrive. All in 1 starter was wrong and 2 mains were wrong. We never got asked for drinks we had to get there attention all the time. We all lost count of all the excuses the staff were saying about the poor service. Overall the food was ok, all saying we’ve had better had worse. The few members of staff that dealt to us, I've have better customer service at KFC. All this ruined our night and was a VERY disappointing evening. The only 1 thing that I could say was perfect service was when I asked for the bill, within a blink it was on the table. We will not be going back here again.

Terrible service from this particular branch of premier inn. We booked a triple room, we phoned months in advance to confirm 3 adults were able to sleep in the room. When we arrived the staff were incredibly rude and unhelpful. We were told that Infact only 2 of us would be allowed to stay in the room. They offered no solution or assistance. Instead they became hostile and abrasive. The room had plenty of space for 3 adults. A double bed and a sofabed for 1. Their policy is stupid and unhelpful. And contradictory to the phone call we made months earlier. In full they made us feel unwelcome and unhappy, would not recommend.

I ordered 2 oat lattes this morning and when I arrived at work, one of them did not have the coffee shot. So it was just warm oat milk. I'm trying to call to get this sorted out and I get an automated message saying.... Get in touch on socials.... Pretty poor all round. Update: I drove back the following morning and staff couldn't help enough. I got replacements and lots of apologies. My co-worker was proper chuffed with their brew. Thank you for making this right Costa staff.
