The Capital in County Durham

We can’t tell if there has been a change in management or just staff but poor this time and we’ve been many times, average food and service so won’t be returning

10/10! Couldn’t recommend enough!! Went here for my birthday with family (we’ve been before) and can’t say how impressed. Food was red hot and of a generous portion, service impeccable and staff were friendly. Would recommend and will be going back

I haven’t visited this restaurant for a while so we were looking forward to the usual standards of food and service that we had previously experienced. Starters were great and tasty however the main dishes that we ordered were tasteless and very greasy . I ordered a chicken korai it looked pleasant enough but it did kit have any taste to it at all ! My partner ordered a rogan Josh again there was no taste to it , as medium spice dish you expect a kick but both wee bland . I was offered a replacement dish . I chose a chicken tikka mossala and the sauce tasted like tomato soup . The service was slow and there was no apology for the tasteless food . I will not be visiting this restaurant again , there was no reduction in the bill offered for the poor quality of food which again is not good customer service .

We arrived without booking was taken to our table by Muhammed. Warm friendly guy who we shared a bot of good natured banter with. Nice decor, food was excellent as was the staff and service 5 very satisfied customers. Will return next time in durham

Really good food and service although our starter what we ordered of prawn bagi wasn't what we expected as it was on puri but was still ok

This has to be the worst Indian restaurant I have been to!!!! I have NEVER been to an Indian restaurant before where they serve frozen oven chips. Even takeaway shops make the effort to make fresh chips. The curry was bland and watery, the chicken was tough and rubbery the rice was bland, and the chips was absolutely dreadful hence me leaving the food, paying the bill and leaving, absolute waste of £70. Only positive I can say was the Cobra beer was nice. I would not return to this restaurant even if it was for free!

Had a fantastic meal at the capital in durham Monday night, great to see the owner after a few years what a great guy. Food was excellent muki shibir was great too. Thank you so much for a luvly meal 10 out of 10 lads. Will be coming back for sure. You take care my friend.

My good friends and I attended the Capital on Friday 9th February for our joint birthday party. This was despite our short notice, but the staff were incredibly accommodating for our needs! 🙂 We were greeted by a friendly gentleman who brought over plenty of popperdoms for us all. We tucked into our onion bhajis and our curry’s arrived not long after. This was washed down with a couple pints of Cobra. A lovely drop! We had so much fun that we even forgot to play pass the parcel

When we arrived the table wasn’t even ready even though it was booked. The staff were miserable didn’t appear to want to be there. We ordered poppadoms and pickles to start but they came with the starters which were consequently cold when we were ready to eat them. We had to ask for side plates then spoons to serve our food. The onion bajees were stale like they had been cooked yesterday and warmed up. The chicken tikka masala tasted ok but the naan bread was also stale and very hard. I’ve had much better food and I wouldn’t hurry back. As we opened the door to leave the smell of smoke was awful as 2 staff members were smoking just outside the door inside the covered area. It was disgusting. I can’t recommend this place.

We have been going to Capital for 20+ years and we all have to say this was the worst meal we have ever had from start to finish, clearly a change of management and the chef has a detrimental effect on the quality and taste of the food and service, everything was different from the onion bhaji to the mains to the nan breads. Staff didn’t even bother to check if the meals were ok, we ordered 4 different mains and other than the madras that was hot but tasteless the other 3 meals were exactly the same colour and taste other than one slightly sweeter as it had banana and pineapple in bland and tasteless!!! This has always been our favourite Indian we will not be retuning a total waste of money, we will be looking for a new Indian going forward.

Everyone raves about this place. We just found it to be very average. Very busy, food came quickly. It wasn't a relaxing experience. I have had better takeaways if I'm honest. Not that tasty and tables crammed in. Just too noisy and far too expensive. Will try elsewhere next time we visit Durham

Food was good but being encouraged to speed up our meal to obviously free up the table was a downer. Two of our business party had finished but one was still eating ,the waiter every few minutes asking to clear the dishes away. In the end the person still eating just left his meal. Unless you are fast eaters ,it may not be for you.

favourite place to go when visiting durham. the food , service and atmosphere here is incredible. as always we were greeted and sat straight away by staff and tended to as if we were the only people there! food came quick and tasted amazing. will always go back to the capital x

The food was nice however there are several things which let them down: Rice is overpriced - £6.50 for one small portion One of the waiters was misogynistic and would only address the one man in our party, the women might as well not have been there I had to ask 3 times for some water for the table The wine was expensive for a mediocre bottle (almost £30) So overall not worth the money

The Capital has been a regular haunt for years for myself, work colleagues and friends. Visited again this week and the food was delicious - never fails to deliver great service. A real gem in Durham.

Called without booking on Tuesday evening. Beautiful restaurant, excellent menu with some unusual choices not seen elsewhere and reasonable prices. The staff are very pleasant and the food was exceptionally good. I highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

Turned up, didn’t need to book luckily as drove past whilst away for a night in Durham. Food was delicious, and piping hot, also a great choice of food. Friendly staff, thank you for a lovely meal.

Warm friendly welcome looked busy and had been recommended. Pickles an starters were ok but my husband ordered chicken balti and I ordered madras with chips and mushroom pilau, can honestly say it’s the worst curry we have ever tasted! The chips were frozen chips and weren’t cooked throughly the balti tasted like salt and full of grease. The madras was like water no taste at all. We paid the bill asked to box it up for my husband to put the full lot in the bin as we left! Would not recommend at all! £80 down the drain.

Great menu. Warm welcome. Excellent friendly service. Our first visit to this restaurant. Very helpful staff assisted us in choosing a lovely meal. Very satisfied. Thank you for a great experience

I would rate the food 5/10. Chicken biryani lacked essential ingredients bcus of which it tasted somewhat like fried rice. It was served with veg sauce - Biryani does not need sauce.For starter we ordered Chicken momo. What we received was chicken roll ( wrapped in tortilla) - and they still call it momo. Its deceiving.

Best curry I’ve ever had. Service was impeccable and nice not to be bothered throughout the meal !! Couldn’t recommend enough

Just in Durham for a weekend away with my husband, this is the best meal we have had in a long time. The food was first class, the restaurant was spotless and the very well dressed staff were immaculate. If we were in the area again, we would definitely be back.

Really enjoyed my visit to The Capital with a couple of friends yesterday. Everything about the experience was great, from the warm greeting and the patient, relaxed service, to the wonderful food and refreshingly cold Cobra lager. We each ordered different dishes and were happy with our choices. The ingredients seemed fresh and the presentation of the food was good. We managed a last pint in a nearby pub after our meal and all agreed that we'd gladly visit again.

Been coming here for around 18 years but hadn’t been for about 2-3 years due to working away. I had forgotten how good the food was !!! Me and my wife have been the last 2 weekends in a row and have tried several different things including mixed platter starters, lamb chop starters, chicken tikka starters, Balti, jalfrezi, dupiaza and all were delicious. The pickle tray with the poppadoms doesn’t have anything really hot on and when we mentioned this the waiter came back with chopped onion salad full of green chillies which was perfect. Don’t listen to the bad reviews on here go try it for yourself you won’t be disappointed we’ve tried several Indian restaurants in Durham and this is by far the best

We have been enjoying Indian Cuisine for decades; and this is top of our favourites. Happy to highly recommend this lovely restaurant with very helpful and friendly staff.We shared the lamb dish from the speciality menu and it was exceptional.We had the house wine which was not cheap but it was a very good wine! When we visit Durham again we will definitely come back.

Where do I start ! Keema naan bread had very little meat in so they bought me another one. The Madras was Watery and tasteless. The head waiter did take the 2 meals back to the kitchen to try and sort the dish out but it was still the worst madras I had tasted. We were told by the waiter that they had the same Chef for over 20 years and that they madras was in his own words ( runny ) ? We asked for the bill and left the full meal. We weren’t even offed any discount. Disgraceful.

On a chilly windy evening my wife, daughter and I walked round to The Capital from our hotel on the other side of The Wear. It was well worth it. The Capital is beautfully decorated and benefits from an extensive but tastefully and logically compiled menu. I stuck to the vegetarian options and was very pleased with the aloo gobi as well as the flagship mixed vegetable curry. This is a very professional restaurant with excellent service as well as Cobra and a decent wine list. Furthermore, they even serve french fries - it's the North East after all! Very good option when in Durham.

Absolutely the best flavoured curry we ever had, really friendly staff that let you eat your meal in peace . Very good adherence to covid rules and pretty good price considering the amount we ate haha. Thanks.

We were in Durham just overnight but were recommended this restaurant,we were quite early 5.30ish,the staff were not really welcoming at all & we did wonder whether they were going to let us in as we hadn’t a reservation but they showed us to a table,we ordered drinks & poppadoms & just a Tandoori main course as we are not big eaters no complaints about the food but their attitude put us off,the staff seemed more attentive to most of the other diners maybe it’s because we weren’t regulars we received the cold treatment,I shouldn’t think we were in there an hour & we didn’t get a goodbye or thankyou.

We booked for a meal here as we were in the area for a few days and it seemed like a good idea given that the eat out to help out was making everywhere very busy. We arrived on time but seating was delayed as they were full and we were asked to wait. People turned up behind us and decided not to wait but to go to the bar and order a drink. They were then seated before us. Not a massive problem, but not very polite on the part of the staff. Food was ok. Table service was ok. Nothing particularly special. Social distancing Isn't high up on this resturants priority list, and although we booked and left a phone number they didnt ask who we were on arrival, so not sure if the Track and Trace system is in use. Given the strange world we are living in at the moment, I won't be reccomending this place.

Had an overnight stay in Durham and booked the capital for dinner. Our seat was ready as soon as we went in, service was quick and we had both our starters and mains within the hour. Food was of high standard and the staff were very nice and accommodating. Would highly recommend. We had vegetable samosas and chicken tikka paneer to start. For mains we had chicken tikka madras (which wasn’t overly spicy) and chicken tikka Rogan which seemed very tomato based. Dispite saving £20 on the eat out to help out scheme. All dishes were lovely and of great portion size.

First child free evening for a long time so decided to head to the Capital as the meals previously have been fantastic. As it was the “eat out to help out”, we booked a table for 7:30 knowing it was likely to be busy. We arrived at 7:25 to be advised there would be a 5-10 minute wait and we could either wait inside or outside. Due to the busyness of the restaurant, and to allow for social distancing, we chose to wait outside. Big mistake. The 3 groups that arrived after us were seated before us even though some were the same size party. After 40 minutes we were eventually seated and drinks ordered. A further 10 minutes passed while people who had tables booked at 8pm were receiving their drinks and starters, and we were still waiting to order. We spoke to one of the staff and were told that our orders would be “pushed up the list”. After 1 hour and 15 minutes we were still without starters or even poppadoms and no acknowledgement from any of the staff so we walked out. The first time ever we have left a restaurant this way. I appreciate these are new and challenging times but their procedures for seating and ordering need seriously looking at.

Myself and my wife called for a meal one January evening it was around half full so we had no problem getting a table we were attended to promptly by Very friendly staff we ordered drinks and our food we also ordered popadoms, which unfortunately did not arrive.As our meal came fairly quickly I didn’t mention it. We ate the meal which was hot well cooked and very tasty we both had variations of lamb which was so tender once we finished we asked for the bill which unfortunately still had the popadoms listed I asked to have them to be taken off the bill which they were. All in all we had a good evening and will be returning soon.

Service was excellent. Drinks order was taken straight away, we pondered over starters and the waiter doesn't mind leaving us to think for a while. The food turned up in a reasonable time and was very tasty. We had finished and paid and just about to leave when we were very politely asked to leave the table as they needed it for another party. They offered us a drink on the house, since they asked us to leave which they didnt have to, but was appreciated. The staff were all very friendly. I would definitely come again. Thanks.

We booked with quite short notice and were happy to accommodate. The food was really good and they were very attentive

We arrived earlier than our booked time, but there was no problem. The food and service were excellent as was the atmosphere. I would recommend this for anyone who loves Indian food.

We didn’t book, eight of us went on a locals recommendation. Well decorated restaurant, pleasant staff. You can’t prefer poppadoms without ordering food first, never been refused anywhere before. Most of the group had onion Bahji starter, well presented two large balls with salad, tasted very bland, lacked spice and were hard in the middle. The chicken tikka Balti was very bland, although I asked for more heat, it had a very burnt taste which became clear, the garlic slices were all burnt and inedible throughout the base gravy. The chicken tikka was the brightest red and slightly chewy,not the best I’ve had. Mentioned this to the waiter, who came back and said the chef is sorry ? Garlic nan fresh and hot but no garlic, everyone agreed the same very bland definitely we’ve had far better, so we won’t return

Absolutely superb food. Best Indian had in a long time. Although very busy never booked but managed to get seated. Gseservice

We ate here recently our table was booked for 7pm our order was taken (starter and main) 40 minutes later our starters arrived. The food was very good however.

ممتاز جداً أوصيكم بهماسالا لحم أو دجاجتندوري دجاجرز برياني خبز نانكولا.المكان مريحالخدمة جيدةالسعر متوسط

The food was very good, however, when the bill came there it was a service charge and no mention of it being voluntary or otherwise, it worked out to around 14% we refused and they brought another bill and we left a decent appropriate tip. I was out with a party of 12 two months before, at The Capital, I did not see the bill but apparently it's been on for months no one spotted it and we gave them a realy good tip on top of the charge, be aware no one wants to tip twice.

went here Friday booked online before it was open got a reply within minutes been here a couple of times when we stayed over in Durhamstaff spot on food ? the best i have had in a long timewent with my partner Lynnewe both had starters onion bhaji for myself Lynne had garlic mushroom chicken, both presented beautifully our mains was also excellent, i had the Makhoni and rice wow what a beautiful dish chicken in a rich creamy sauce with coconut mango and almonds tasted superb Lynne had chicken tikka served with salad on a sizzling platter great portions so much so i had to sadly leave one peice of chicken and a bit ricethe place is well decorated but not over the topand the music was modern traditional Indian music ( nice change )hand on heart best i've tasted in a long timeplease take a walk up the Claypath hill and visit

Nice clean restaurant. Polite waiting staff who were attentive but low key. Food was tasty and plentiful. Cost just under £50 for two with beer and service charge and we left feeling pleasantly full.

Called in with family on a night out in Durham. Food was really good. The service was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Im a visitor... all I can say is nice food, nice restaurant, nice staff. Highly recommended. In a the superb City of Durham.

Lovely food and great atmosphere can't remember the name of the dish but basically Indian tapas with 5 different dishes, rice and naan bread - far too much food but amazing, took a lovely take away home for next day! Highly recommended

Average taste average service. In fact it was annoying service. One of our party was late and they refused to serve poppadoms while we waited saying we all had to have ordered before they gave us those so that seems pretty stupid.

We pre booked a table for 16 and were seated straight away upon arrival. The restaurant was really busy as you’d expect with any good restaurant on a Saturday evening.

We came 5yrs ago and this is WITHOUT DOUBT the best Indian restaurant we have EVER been to..It's fabulous The staff are lovely and the decor and ambience of the place is just great..and the food! !!.. an award winning chef and in house team that we were prepared to travel over 2 hours to experience again...don't just take our word.. try it..you WON'T be diappointed. Xx

The Capital was a family rendezvous eatery and we all found it very good. The menu was different from our usual local and was no worse for that. The expected dishes were all there and enough different what I believe would be called fusion dishes to appeal to most palates and a good selection of vegetarian options were available.

Haven’t visited this restaurant for some time, however, food was most enjoyable, mixed tali and and balti were great portion and taste wise. Will certainly visit again.

It was discusting food I had stomach ache after have their food I run my own business but never had bland food

We enjoyed a tasty thali and king prawn chilli masala tonight. All spicy and delicious. Also crispy onion bhajis and fresh and light nans. Lovely.

Just had an excellent meal here, at the end of this meal for 2 the bill should have come to £46 but they added a £5 service charge at the bottom.

Delicious food . Unusual dishes well presented and delicious. Excellent atmosphere. Very busy restaurant but efficient and polite service

We took an early table at the capital and we weren’t disappointed with either the service or the quality of food on offer. In fact the food was exceptional. Possibly the best I’ve ever had. Only slight flaw was the table we were given but let’s not bother with this minor issue. Waiters were polite and attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommended

Well here we go I arrived in Durham on Saturday afternoon and after asking a few locals which Indian restaurant was the best to eat in I was told The Capital and was I impressed.

Food was ok but not as good as I remember it about 8 years ago. Service was average. I would go back but not in any hurry

Myself and my boyfriend booked a table for 8:30pm. When we arrived it was extremely busy and clearly overbooked, we were told to sit at the very cramped bar area whilst ‘they waited for some tables to leave’ - bearing in mind every table of 2 were no where near finishing there meals.

Visited Durham for the first time decided on the Capital as it was closest Indian to where we stayed. Fantastic food and service would recommend a visit.

Been a regular customer here over the years never really had many issues. Went last night with some friends and the food was below par. Half way through our main course a group of approx 30 students came in who the staff tried to squeeze in behind our table. Our group couldn’t hear each other talking for the amount of noise and we had to move quite a lot during our meal to let the students and staff past. Then they sat people directly behind us and to the side they were that close it was uncomfortable. We approached this with the staff who just laughed it off. We soon got the bill and departed. It was unprofessional and clearly the standards of food have dropped.

This a favourite in my group of friends and also my family. Ambience, location and cleanliness are all top top.

Visited on a Saturday night and secured a table without booking, although we did have to wait about 10 minute or so, but this was no problem as we just got a drink from the bar while we waited.

We had a most bizarre experience at this restaurant (that I have frequented over the last few years). We were a group of 6 celebrating a friend’s birthday. Firstly, we were not greeted properly, being pointed towards the nearest table without even a smile.

Curries are decent but they overdo it with the heat content. Not much care is taken in good presentation of food- the vegetables were chopped roughly. The stuffed paratha is highly recommended. The sheekh kebab was not bad too. Its disappointing they do not have high chairs for babies nor a baby changing unit.

Upon entering, the two-tier seating arrangements is very appeasing. The layout and number of seats in the restaurant allows for a relaxing and quiet atmosphere. The food itself was of a great portion size and also was very well priced. In terms of quality, the food was astounding. The menu caters to all tastes and the selection of starters and mains is superbly extensive. The flavours of one of the chef's specials was mind-blowing! The food wasn't oily and unnatural and maintained a traditional and authentic taste. I had a Dhansak which they altered the spiciness specifically to accommodate my tastes. The service was fast and efficient despite one of the waiters not being able to manage a smile! Many of the other staff had a good character and were warm and friendly.

Ended up at this restaurant as our first choice was booked. But after eating here I know this will be a first choice now. Excellent food and service.

Staff very attentive and food delicious! Thoroughly recommended! Went for a family meal and we were very much welcomed and looked after. Will return!

Staying in Durham during our Autumn golf trip we had our customary curry at The Capital! Service was excellent, comfortable restaurant with decent food & drink. Pickles were fine & my chicken tikka fit starters was tasty & a decent size! My main course of lamb tikka balti again was a decent size, good quality tender lamb with a spicy sauce. If we’re up this way again we’ll be calling here no doubt as all 6 of us had decent meals!

Looks very good on entry, clean and fresh.

Good service, OK prices...AMAZING curry! Personal view is that poppadoms should be offered free (if Manager is reading this, do consider!) but we couldn’t fault this place for anything else! Definitely recommend.

Food is not to be faulted and portion sizes are great, doesn't do any special menu but that is not a problem for us. Would def recommend

This restaurant was recommended to us and we can absolutely see why.

Oh what can I say. It was the best Korma I have ever tasted. For the past 20 years I have realised food too hot and spices is not for me and believe me the 20years before that of eating this food taught me what my likes were. So for 20 yr eating an Indians or ordering in I have had nothing but Korma. This is the smoothest, mouth watering, to die for Korma ever. And I mean EVER!!! This visit was my third time at Durham and my third time at this very lovely restaurant with the friendliest and attentive staff and the died and gone to heaven food. The chips, rice and keema nan are the best and such yummy accompaniments too. I had the king prawns starter which started me on the stairs up to heaven. I will be back in the next few weeks either with my granddaughter before she goes back to school or on my own and I can’t wait to visit here again. . Regards, Julie

Very tasty food, nice decor. The only negative aspect was the service, it took more than 1 hour for the main courses to be served.

Been here a few times with work and friends. Smart welcoming interior and not too large, so more cosy and informal in its ambiance. The food is great. Good quality and tasty. The big plus point is that it’s very reasonably priced. Recommend

A lovely restaurant environment that is clean and inviting. The service is friendly and fast. The food was very good. In fact, all you could ask for.

My wife and I had been boozing all day in the city, we had booked this place online a week ago. It wasn't all that busy which was fine with us and the staff were attentive and talkative. It turns out, they know our Spice Garden friends on Ocean Road in South Shields. The food was excellent and although we didn't appreciate the frozen chips, everything else was perfect. The reason for the frozen type was due to the lack of customers requesting chips, which is fair enough. The owner gave us free spirit drinks for our anniversary. An excellent restaurant with nice staff.

Holiday weekend visit to Durham city with friends so decided to go for a meal here as it was recommended by hotel staff and pleased we did as the food was very good, as was the service and value for money. Would go back again no problem.

This is the most horrendous Indian meal I have ever eaten

The Capital restaurant was recommended by the hotel we were staying in and it was definitely well worth the walk. Excellent food and attentive service. One of the best Indian restaurants I have had the pleasure of visiting.

My wife and I walk in after a few drinks round town ,waited twenty minutes for table and once we sat down and ordered a main to share with various sides we were told we had to order a minimum of two mains and two sides , we were so hungry we ordered the extra main but left it and sent it back to kitchen when we paid the bill , we have been to the Capital several times over the years but will never go again ,

Very nicely decorated and clean.

Called in here after the theatre and although it was busy and we hadn’t booked they found a table for us- there was a good atmosphere in the restaurant. The service was efficient and the food fresh and plentiful - however our mains were a little mild for our palates

Been here three times now so only fair to write a review as The Capital never fails to deliver.

Went here for New Year 20017. Amazing. Fab meal - fab service - fab atmosphere. Food beautiful n staff attentive but not over the top.

Very tasty food,good selection & very reasonably priced. Will come back here again. Only quibble we had was the fact we waiting quite a while for our drinks,we had to ask twice where I drinks were,they did however apologise & it was a case of miscommunication.

Really enjoyed the food in this restaurant - portions are very generous!! Nicely cooked and an excellent choice. Service is...

Tried The Capital on a recent visit to Durham. We were told it was the best Indian in town and...

The food here was excellent. The menu states that you each need to order a main course. There were 6...

Great chicken kabab, average lamb kabab but the rest of the food (lamb curry, bhindi) were really good. After our starters, we asked them to spice things up which they did nicely. Owner/ manager came out and chatted with us. Will go there again when in town.

If your undecided where to eat and fancy a curry, then this is the place. The spices, fresh ingredients and overall quality and presentation of their dishes was excellent. Living close to Bradford I thought we had some great curry houses, but this beats them all! The staff so attentive and helpful. Martin & Verity

About average in terms of price, quality and service. No complaints, but no outstanding dishes. Most positive was that the beer was cold.

This has got to be one of the nicest Indian restaurants in the north east , we went last night for a birthday meal and from when you walk in to when we left it was a amazing night the starter I had which was lamb chops was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth , I had a chicken dansak for a main and it was really good perfectly spiced and a garlic man which was crispy and freshly cooked , the gin and tonic went down a treat aswell , everyone who was there enjoyed the night

The chef here is second to none, the spices and fresh ingredients come through in the food placed before you, together with a fine selections of drinks on offer. Another superb dining experience.

Went here with a group and we all enjoyed our food. I am amazed by customers that clearly want freebies but react by leaving a bad review, Really shouldnt be allowed in the door. I also on another note have a vegan friend who knows her very different dietary needs and always phones first as she understands her menu is different, she never gives a bad review just does her homework beforehand.

Visited the Capital last night with a party of 14 on a stag night out, both the food and service was excellent would definitely recommend

Being a vegan in UK is fairly easy these days. However, while ordering at The Capital, I found out that the staff has no clue what vegan food means. When I tried to ask if the vegetable momos, the samosas, the chapatis can be made vegan, he told me that even the samosa pastry has eggs in it and so does the momos. He even said that the chapatis might contain dairy (I know that the preparation of naan might require eggs or yogurt). Well, I am an Indian and have eaten at various Indian restaurants in various parts of the world and nowhere have I heard such strange claims. I am not entirely sure if the staff are clearly aware of the ingredients in the food (which is a must for any restaurant given the different requirements of people). Having seen such a good review on tripadvisor, I really wanted to try out this restaurant but alas!I will urge the management to take note of my comment as a constructive criticism and try to ask the staff to understand the various food choices of people.

Have visited this restaurant on a couple of occasions before and after visits to other places decided to revisit. The food was exceptional and we had Chicken Tikka Masala and Prawn Bhuna with two different rices and plain naan. In order to do the main justice we had poppadoms and pickle to start. Good variety and quantity of pickles. We like to have plates at a temperature to have the end of our meal as good as the beginning and were not disappointed. In comparison food at other indian restaurants don't compare as the food is generally cold. Top notch food with service to match!!

The service and interior of this restaurant are all good. The curry however was not good. I ordered a chicken tikka dish. It came at an infernally hot temperature that only a microwave oven can produce. It was bland and tasteless. A shame because it is a nice looking place however my food was below average.
