Why was there no one in on a Saturday Night ? My wife and I visited here on the 15th of July and there was just one other couple in. First impressions was oh dear we've picked the wrong one tonight, but how wrong could we be. The food was plentiful, fresh, hot and tasty very tasty, in fact it was one of the best Indian meals we have had and trust me we have had some blinders. The prices seemed very very reasonable in fact more like takeaway prices, 2 starters, 2 mains and 1 Rice, 1 Chips, 1 Nan and 2 pints of Cobra for less than £35 come on you have to admit that takes some beating.

Just ordered for three of us, arived really quickly. All fresh and redhot. Couldnt decide which Indian to choose as I am visiting after moving away years ago. So decided on here. Will be ordering from here next time. Even the bag of salad was cold and that has never happened, we always joke about the bag of warm salad! Well done! Thank you.

We had a table booked on a Sunday night for 10 people. The service was excellent from start to finish. Our starter orders were taken first with our mains being taken after. This meant each course came out fresh and at its best. There were no complaints about any dish from anyone. The best indian meal we've had in quite a while.

Puedo entender los colores naturales tales como la cúrcuma, azafrán, pasta de tomate, etc. son añadidos, que contribuyen al sabor de la comida. ¿Por qué es necesario añadir colores a arroz para que cada color crema con rainbow excepto blue y para dye salsa curry rojo, así que es necesario una pantalla de soldadura para mirar no sé!
