Honestly, it's one of the best curries I've ever had. The 9 spice curry was fantastic. If you're in the area, make sure you pop in.

There were 5 of us, and the place was pretty full, they managed to sort a table out, but it felt like we were in the foyer so to speak, rather than in the restaurant itself. Couldn't fault the food though and the place was packed on a Saturday night, so looks like it's pretty popular. Maybe book before going.

Served me duck when i asked for chicken, was about 3 peices of duck to boot. Had bombay aloo and Mumbai 'chicken' and they both tasted exactly the same, sauce was exactly the same. Way to much ghee, aloo was greasy as and the curry was bland as was the aloo. The naan was nicely cooked but was meant to be a garlic naan and i couldnt taste any garlic whatsoever. I had popadums and dips to start and there was no lime pickle which I requested and received but it was home made and had a bleachy taste to it. I travel loads and eat in many Indian restaurant as its my favourite food, this one i will not be going back to. The lad that served me had a silly little grim on his face as he showed me out to top it all off, not good ! First review i have ever wrote which should demonstrate my sincerity

Ordered through website. When the food was 25 minutes late(1 and a half hours), we called the restaurant. Only then told there was an issue with the online ordering. I was asked to place a new order on the phone and wait another half hour. Useless.

The place stank of sweat when we walked in. It took 90 minutes from ordering until the food arrived (the adjacent table left before their meal as they couldn't wait any longer). When it did it wasn't great. Not that flavoursome and VERY oily. The presentation was nice though. Service was poor and quite a few mistakes.

Havent been here for quite a while but thought i would try a nice vindaloo to sweat it out and it was banging fariplay along with the garlic & corriander naan.. kind, friendly and helpful staff and even tho I Would like to see some more regional dishes on the menu it's 5* food that fairplay and honestly the standard never drops. Should certainly of received a chef's hat or 2 and I highly recommend the nwabi wrap with pilau rice & a chicken vindaloo.... yet again it was outstanding so Thank you 😋

We were so disappointed with the service we received last night. We were booked in at 7pm left at 10pm . The service was shocking , drinks we had to ask for 3 times and still waited 40 minutes to receive them. Food waited 2 hours , then it was wrong. It was a complete sham. They then charged my father in law three times and now waiting on two refunds off £166. 00 each payment. Which can take upto 3 days to go back into his account. I called the manager as soon as we got home to discuss as I did not want to make a scene in the restaurant and I was told the owner will contact me Sunday as too busy Saturday to ring me. I was flabbergasted at the level of bad service we received. We have been going there for years and never had problems like this when the old manager was running it. We were there on a special occasion as it was ruined. We even had the lights switched off in our room while eating . We were given a free nan bread, which was yet another mistake and brought by mistake ,30 minutes after the food and was not ordered and masala sauce . Which was all left . The food was lovely when it finally came out at all different times. We were all past food , by the time it arrived. It would have been quicker to order and delivered. Food so nice , customer service really let it down.

Well I'm not one to leave a negative review, but the way the establishment deliberately and with a calculated approach to virtually double the price of anything ordered off of the menu was disgusting. The bill when queried was snatched from my hand and when asked why a £7.95 curry was now £15.95, with a stuttering answer we were Informed it is Christmas and we were then not allowed to query anything further and also not allowed to scrutinise or view the bill. Very underhanded tactics indeed. Everyone has to pay bills including clients not just businesses. What should have been at most a £240 bill cost nearly £400. Stay away.

If there was -5 star I would have gave it. First thing we ordered soft drinks gave us plain freaking drink with no gas in it! And when we asked about it they were trying to joke about it. Service was so delayed never went to dinner got bored waiting for food. Food was lame on top use same gravy for all different types for curry. Naan bread was absolutely thin and dry in odd shape. Also out pf the fact you can only order once what you need and it wasn’t even closing time. Never tasted these type of Indian food. Wont go ever again!

Nice welcome but that where it ends. In all honesty we couldn't wait to leave . Felt like we were being watched from start to Finnish. Constant flow of staff back & fore to our table watching everything we were eating & drinking. At one point 2 members of staff leant over our table while we were eating, trying to grab bottles ,glasses, plates ect.. RUDE ! All in all a very uncomfortable experience & it was absolutely freezing in there. Definitely will not be returning.

Waited 3 hours for delivery and food never came! Rang to ask them where the food was the woman said the driver already left with it- 30 minutes later said they’ve just started cooking it. Told them I wasn’t happy as we’d been waiting all night. Another 40 minutes (they wernet picking up their phones) told me it’ll be another 20 minutes. Rang for a refund but the guy was asking for payment details again not refund details. Another 30 minutes on the phone and he finally figured out how to refund! Will not be ordering here again- they’ve had history going back 4 years of poor service and long delivery waits of up to 4 hours and they’re clearly not improving their standards.

The food here is delicious, hats off to the chef, the meat was perfectly cooked and nice and tender and the sauce was incredibly tasty. The only criticism is that the restaurant was cold and it took nearly an hour for the food to come to the table and we were the only customers in the building, the lady who took payment from us after the meal seemed to be in a mood and wasn’t very friendly either, seemed to scoff that we were paying by card . Small things like that can easily put people off guys. Overall though you are delivering top quality food, I’m a satisfied customer 👍🏻

The decor was beautiful and interesting, and the food was outstanding. I didn’t plan on eating as much as I did, and left feeling very full! We all throughly enjoyed our time there, including a family friend who is usually hard to please, and we plan on coming back in the near future. Really could not fault this place in any way, 10/10 and totally recommended!

We got a takeaway from here on a Tuesday evening whilst on our holidays. First thing is they only have a 3 star food hygiene rating. If I had seen this before ordering I wouldn't have done. The food was ok,quite average. And they missed part of our order but we didn't notice until we unpacked it at home so too late to do anything about it. I guess they knew that which was why they weren't too hot on making sure our order was correct and complete. Honestly, I will look elsewhere in future.
