Terrible takeaway, very expensive £17 for king prawn korai like shrimps dry & tough. Chicken dry, chicken tikka ok.manager says send it back, but it was in the bin ! Showed no interest. Been customers for many years. No goodwill at all. Lost our custom,

I have been coming here for years, my order always comes to £20.70 then I get 10% discount which brings it down to £18.63 unfortunately now you can’t place the order because it is under £20 after the discount has been applied, I have been a loyal customer and the food is exceptional but on principal I will now use Panahar next door, the discount Samsara offer is now pointless, they may have gained £1.53 from me this time but in future they have now lost £18.63 to their rivals next door, I am so disappointed and aggravated, when I spoke to them I was told that’s the way they do it now, ok bug goodbye

We are visiting family and thought we'd dine here. However, they had an evening of entertainment and were clearly full. Hence, we ordered a takeaway. Omg, along with having an excellent choice with dishes that were new to us, the prices were very fair. Now we come to the quality of the dishes and it's a 10 out of 10. We had three main dishes, two types of rice, a Sag Aloo dish, poppadoms and a plan nan. Every single dish was delicious. Indian cuisine is our favourite, something we've dined out for many years, plus we also cook Indian dishes from scratch. So many restaurants are a let down but the food here is really, really good. Also our meal was ready for collection. If we lived locally we'd become regulars.

As a couple, this was our first visit to this family restaurant. It was a Friday evening and the restaurant was full and buzzing, but not such that you could hear yourself speak, we were able to hold normal conversation. There was a good atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, with plenty of choice from traditional dishes to chefs specials. The portion sizes were good for us, with popadoms, starters and main course. The service was great, all the staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitely visit again.
