The Lion Inn in Telford and Wrekin

We are longstanding customers of Bharat and The Lion before it and visited recently with friends, it was the first time since Raj left. Unfortunately the food was disappointing and so was the service. Gone are the friendly staff; one of the waiters didn’t even understand us let alone chat to us. Barat was always a treat because it was a bit on the pricey side but it was always very good. We probably won’t go back now after 25+ years.

Food is absolutely incredible, really friendly atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble, the bar is dog friendly too which is brilliant. Azad, Jubaid and all the family are so welcoming, worth a visit for a sit down meal, takeaway or even just a quiet pint.

Large car parking area at the back, lovely restaurant, very clean, friendly staff & owner, very flavourful food (poppadoms, chutney tray, chicken bhuna, chicken madras, pilau rice, coriander naan, Bombay potatoes, pistachio ice cream) , good value for money, ... Will definitely return

Food was wonderful, great menu/variety. Atmosphere was lovely & comfortable. Staff & specifically the owner very very pleasant, & made you feel relaxed. Restaurant owner served the food to table a nice touch. Been at the restaurant 26 yrs which is amazing due to country location. We all 4 really enjoyed our food, was exceptional. I would say a little pricey compared to other local Indian restaurants but worth it. Highly recommend you to try it for a quality & tasty Indian authentic curry. We will definitely be back. Thank you team.

This is the best spot with great Indian food with pure Indian taste, flavour and full of hygiene.. overall supperrrb everything.

Lovely food, clean and the staff were super attentive if needed and gave you privacy if that was required too. Definitely return to this restaurant

Fantastic food and amazing service. We don’t live local but worth the drive every time and the food was fantastic again on our last trip. Service was great with such a friendly team. Thanks and we will be back again soon.

Excellent service,food,parking, definitely worth a revisit. We went after checking out for somewhere local to eat and what a gem we found.

Ordered to collect, not long to wait only 20 minutes from putting order in. Food was delicious and fresh. The staff were really lovely and helpful too. Would order again without hesitation!

Booked a table with space for a pram. We turned up on time and were put in a side room; I don’t think the person taking the booking had read the request. Waited for 20 minutes without any visit from staff to give us menus or take a drinks order. Walked out and won’t be going back.

I’ve been going to this Indian restaurant for the last 2-3 years.... never disappointed, I’ve tried most locally and this is certainly the best. I would encourage anyone looking for great quality food, prepared and cooked with care to go and see Raj!!! FANTASTIC!!!

Quite simply the best Indian meal we’ve had in years.Staff at The Lion are a delight, bright, cheerful and enthusiastic. Everything from the poppadoms and chutneys, the chicken, beef, lamb curries, prawn puri starters through to the vegetable Bhuna are always outstanding. We are in Covid times, and the effort all the staff go to to ensure you feel safe is remarkable. Make no mistake the chefs in the kitchen serve up a fantastic meal, stunning from start to finish and great value for money too. There is as much care taken in preparing the takeaways too, always presented well, and piping hot. Thanks Raj and the rest of the team at The Lion, can’t wait to visit the restaurant again when we can.

Amazing Indian, food is always served with amazing presentation, flavour is out of this world. The atmosphere created there by Raj and his team makes you feel so special. Due to current COVID-19 restrictions we cannot visit the restaurant, but thank goodness The Lion offer the same 5* food through the takeaway service. See you soon

The food at the Lion Inn is excellent. It's very delicious and absolutely mouth-watering and the Lion Inn is a great find! My personal favourites are Monkfish Tikka as a starter and their signature Lamb Tawa with Naan Bread are second to none. And the service is very friendly. Highly recommended!

The Lion Inn are providing an excellent takeaway service at the moment, due the current situation. Had a delicious meal on Thursday, all so fresh, hot and packed perfectly for taking home. We are regular users of the restaurant where the staff are fab and the food is always first class but as they are not able to open at the moment we are really pleased to be able to get a takeaway. Thank you The Lion Inn

We were so excited to have a takeaway from The Lion - we have missed it so much during lockdown! The food was amazing (as it always is) and the set up for collecting takeaways is fantastic. The team have made sure every safety precaution is in place. Our food was gorgeous and we’re so pleased we can get a takeaway from our favourite restaurant again. We can’t wait until we can visit the restaurant! Thank you so much for our wonderful meal ☺️

We have been regulars at Raj’s restaurant for 20 years. Today was very special because he has only just reopened after the Covid lockdown. So we could have a takeaway- the first food cooked by someone else since March 14. It was brilliant ... ‘just so delicious’ said Juliet, my wife. Raj and Nisa have organised collection time slots and both are wearing PPE. It is SO GOOD to taste their food again after so long. Just perfect. It will be a memorable meal for all sorts of reasons!! Readers please note... the TripAdvisor list of dishes options did not include any that we had: we thoroughly enjoyed Lamb Tawa, Prawn Sagwala, Saag Chana and mushroom rice.

The Lion King of Curries with so much on the menu always it difficult to find what shall I have tonight. But when I was having trouble swallowing because of Radiotherapy, Raj had the Chef shred the Lamb for me. Which was much appreciated.

Party of six on a busy Friday night: food was excellent, the best curry ever! The service was impeccable and friendly. I can not recommend this restaurant highly enough! Thank you for yet another great evening!

I try to make my reviews objective, informative and balanced however best I can do here is say everything about our experience at The Lion Inn was "pretty good". However I thought the portion sizes were a little small for the price. In my opinion there are better Indian Restaurants in the Wellington area. Nothing about the experience left me excited.

Ordered a take away last week only take 30 minutes to cook. Had Chicken Bhuna, Madras and a few starters. Lovely fresh food. The best in the area.

While visiting the area and had this pub recommended, we were disappointed. We ordered a Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, 2 Pilau rice and a plain Naan bread with a poppadom to start. We had quite a wait for our food and overheard the owner apologise to another table that they had received a butter chicken instead of a Passanda! Our ponder was 'what would we receive?' When our food arrived it was clear that ours was neither a Tikka Masala or a Butter Chicken. My husband and I actually swopped the dishes between ourselves as the dish I was told was butter chicken was too spicy for me. Never in all the years of eating Indian food have I had a spicy butter chicken or my husband a creamy tikka. The owner told us every restaurant is different in how they cook. No, there is a standard recipe which customers become used to. The food was good but a shame that it wasn't what we expected.We had a long unattended wait after our main course where we were not offered any more drinks or dessert. I got the menu myself and called the owner over to take our order. This was very disappointing too. We ordered a kulfi and a gulab jamun. The portions of desserts were very small for the price.

it was the first full day of our holiday and no-one fancied cooking, so we decided to try this very local Indian take-away. It's literally a 5 minute walk from our holiday cottage so was perfectly placed....and the food was perfect. Incredibly tasty dahl and paneer dishes, fabulous fish curry with its texture matching, really good butter chicken and a delicious vegetable sagwalla. All day today we've been talking about how super the meal was and we are going to visit again later in the week and eat-in that time :)

Four of us went to the restaurant after playing golf at Hawkstone.I am not from the area but have been previously.The food was excellent - as good a curry as I have had in years - and I am an every week man.The Nan bread was perfectly made - not always the case in many restaurants.Raj and his wife are very nice people and the service is excellent.Luckily I have reason to return this Saturday.I'm looking forward to it !!!

It was our first time visiting this restaurant and it was great. The food was excellent. All very tasty with good quality meat. Wonderful flavours. Service was also excellent, nothing too much trouble. Will be returning soon 👍

Just had a fantastic curry here, the food was delicious and the staff were very warm and friendly! It had a really cozy atmosphere, we will be coming back real soon! Would recommend

Visited last Saturday with 2 friends for evening meal. Very busy evening. We had to wait a little longer than usual for our food but well worth the wait. Food was exemplary. The proprietor was on a rare holiday but his sons And staff did an excellent job in his absence. This is our favourite Indian restaurant in our area. We will be going back. Any lamb dish highly recommended.

Myself and my family visited the Lion Inn again for a few drinks and a meal and the food, atmosphere and service was simply in a league of its own. Already looking forward for our next visit!!

We visited this restaurant twice while we stayed in the area as it was the best Indian we’ve had in a long time , very friendly staff

We were really glad to have chosen this restaurant.

Went here with our 2 grandchildren. Made us welcome and food was delicious.been here numerous times and food always good. The child portions are excellent.would highly recommend this place.

Had a lovely evening here. Our food was delicious although we spent most of the time drooling over all the other orders coming out. Staff were so friendly and we could see they actually cared about every customers experience. Can’t wait to go again!!

Yet again we had a lovely evening at the Lion. The customer service is the best anywhere I have been and the food was delicious. Always excellent quality and value a must if you like Indian food

I have frequented this restaurant on a weekly basis for the last year. This is a local, long established family business who provide the highest quality of customer service to compliment exceptional Indian cuisine.

We have used The Lion several times over the past year for take always/eating in and always had a lovely meal. However on New Years Eve, we had an awful experience. I called the day prior to see if I could book a table for 6 people, understandable the venue was fully booked. I asked if the service for take away was still available, which I was informed it would be but could be up to 1 hours wait. Again, totally understandable. On New Years Eve I called through the take away order being told it would be 1 hours wait, totally acceptable due to the busy time of the year. My husband and 2 of our friends went to collect the order after 1 hour, to be told it wasn’t quite ready and wouldn’t be to long but if they would like a drink whilst they are waiting. They took up this offer understanding it would be a gesture of goodwill like most establishments we have visited in the past when your order isn’t ready. After 1 hours and 20 minutes wait, my husband asked how much longer the order would be, to be told it was just coming. 1 hour 40 later we finally recieved the take away along with £10.50 charge for the drinks. When my husband explained 1 hour 40 minutes was not acceptable and asked why we had been charged of drinks, the land lady told her colleague to ignore my husband and if we didn’t want the food it could be left?? In my view, this is not an acceptable level of customer service when you have been waiting for 1 hour and 40 minutes whether you are extremely busy or not. There are ways and means of talking to people and this is not. When we finally received the takeaway, we had 2 rices missing from the order, I called to explain this had been missed to be told we could be credited next time we had a take away with The Lion, not acceptable with 6 people to feed and 1 rice? I explained I needed the rice so would collect it myself as no delivery option was mentioned for the inconvieance. I did speak to the waiter on collection, to say how upset my husband was from the land lady’s comment and for the time that we had waited. For that we had 1 free rice. I don’t really feel that 1 free rice will make us return again. A huge shame as I am all for supporting small local businesses.

Ate here New Year’s Eve and it was buzzing. The staff were extremely busy but managed to keep everyone happy, well done. Service the same, excellent. The popadums were fresh, the curry was so tasty and best of all the nan breads were bought out hot and fresh. Can’t wait to return!

Visited with a large group of 13 and had a tremendous meal and excellent service. My wife is not a huge lover of Indian food so any visit to a curry house is a treat for me. Even she thoroughly enjoyed her meal and remarked it was "probably the best curry" she has ever had.

Very easy to find. Good car parking area. Very clean with Staff attention being excellent. Service and food very good. Price range acceptable for the menu available. We will certainly re-visit. Suggest that booking is made for week-ends.

We visit The Lion Inn quite frequently and the service and food is always excellent. They will use spray oil for a healthier option, and I would say the Rogan Josh is the best I have ever had. Raj and the team are great.

Attentive staff, great atmosphere and delicious food. We have been numerous times and really can't fault the Lion. We will definitely keep returning.

After a long day out a friend and myself decided on our way home we would stop off somewhere for dinner.

Popped into the Lion on way home from shopping trip. Lovely friendly welcome and super meal as always, The Lamb Tawa was amazing - full of flavour and the lamb so tender. The Lion is worth the drive out into the countryside.

Excellent food full of flavour. Staff very friendly and polite. A really great tasting curry that just burst with flavour. I would really recommend this restaurant and I will definitely return.

Our regular Indian restaurant recently closed and we have been looking for a replacement - not been to the Lion for a while but Raj and Nisha welcomed us like old friends - the food was of a great standard, served by attentive staff in very ambient surroundings - even met other good friends there too - all in all a great experience - we’ll be back!!!

Went out with friends, usually use vouchers to save money but the meal, service, restaurant, the whole experience was worth every penny. The best curry I have ever had. Will definitely be going back again. Highly recommend

Again and again Raj provides great tasting food and fantastic customer service

I visited the lion inn for a family meal. As I do on a regular basis, I can't recommend enough. Customer service is something that can not be beaten by the competitors nor is the food! From starters to deserts this food is definitely a 5 star place to eat. As always thank you! We will be returning!!

1st visited on trip to Shropshire 5 years ago only regret is taking so long to go back. Beautiful food & excellent service from Raj & staff. I had the Lamb Thawa definitely the best curry I've ever had. Highly recommend.

A fabulous place for one of the best Indian meals locally. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Great for couples/ groups but as great for families with children.

They serve beautiful curry and friendly staff and locals. Would definitely come here with friends and get a few pints in you and enjoy a lovely curry.

Lovely warm welcome on arrival! Tried something from the menu that not had anywhere else before and it was delicious. The food quality and preparation is second to none. Can’t wait to return.

This is by far the best Indian restaurant I have been to, and because of this we visit regularly. The food is delicious and they are always willing to cook/make things to you right request. Everything is fresh! The restaurant itself is clean and the staff are friendly and attentive.

we went as a family and received a warm welcome from Nisa and Raj , the meal and the service was amazing and well presented , it was a lovely atmosphere and we all had a great evening , defiantly will be going again ,

Went for a meal with the family and it was the best curries we've eaten. Superb quality, well presented and great choice. Can't wait to return again.

This is a great friendly place that serves great curry! Raj and the team are very welcoming and will make changes to make your curry just how you like it. He even makes a great healthy curry!

We really enjoyed our first visit to The Lion Inn after being recommended to visit by friends. The sharing platter starter was tasty, hot and you could tell everything was cooked fresh to order. We had the lamb curry which was lovely and tender and the sagwala. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will return for another curry!

Called in without booking and was greeted and given table straight away. Good selection on menu. Service was great and food delicious. Couldn't eat all mine but they offered to put in container to go and even put some rice in for me. Really kind of them.

We visited friends, in the area, who had used Trip Advisor to choose The Lion Inn. The restaurant was a little out of the way, but very much worth the visit. Raj and staff (sorry madam, but I didn't get your name) were very attentive and friendly, giving great customer service. We had a sitting for nine and everyone was fed, at the same time, with great quality food at a reasonable price.A little gem.

Went for a nice meal and as usual not dissapointed on the least. Raj maked you feel at home from start to finish and is always on hand to offer advice and help to meet your needs and requirements. The food is always well presented and enough to make you come back to sample more. Would reccomend even if driving past to experience the quality and friendliness.

I had the moody amazing meal tonight. The staff was pleasant but the food was so good. Thank you. I wish I had started my vacation eating here and not the end of vacation.

Exactly what it says on the tin owner is proud of his establishment and so he should excellent service and food

Open 7 days / week, so handy on a Sunday. Large car park. Excellent food, pleasant staff & sensible prices. Surprisingly popular, even on a Sunday, so some small delays between courses.

Went for a birthday meal at The Lion Inn last night. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Atmosphere was good also. The staff are all very nice and helpful. Look forward to come back again.

First time I've eaten in at this place considering I'm so local, but I've heard good things about the place. It lived up to it. Very warm welcome by all the staff. Lovely food, I asked if they could alter a dish to my taste, which they did and it tasted really good. Lovely food and friendly staff. Thanks

We've visited on and off now both for take away and eating in for the last three years. I cannot rate this Indian Restaurant enough. The owners are superb, passionate, welcoming, so friendly, which makes the service outstanding.The food is faultless, cooked to perfection, the meats are so juicy and tender, spices are just right. We came here tonight and it is one of pur favourite places. You will not be disappointed, it is a MUST try

Popped in on a whim on Boxing Day evening with friends and the kids. Lovely welcome and made to feel so at home. Food was excellent as was service. Only ordered takeaway from here before and this was first time eating in, but will def go back. Can wholly recommend.

We were lucky enough to be served by the owner who had had the restaurant for over eighteen years. He was passionate about his food and service and the restaurant was lovely. Other diners were local and the food and service were excellent. I had onion bajis and my husband had a mixed kebab.For mains we had vegetable balti and chicken Bhuna. The chappatis were perfect and the food portions were generous and authentically Indian. We know, we lived in Bradford for many years. We know a good curry when we eat one!!

The Lion has wonderfully attentive staff. Very polite and eager to help. The meals are of a very high standard and there is always enough. It is quite expensive but worth every penny.

Read all the views and looked forward to visiting. As a seasoned curry monster I have visited many places so feel I have some qualification to comment.Staff - Very pleasant...Environment - Very nice...Food - small portion size, expensive and not the quality I had hoped for from reading reviews on here! For example - Mixed Kebab - around £4.75 and consisted of two small pieces of chicken, one piece of lamb and a small kofti roll - lacked flavour and quantity. Very dissapointed from the start. Had hoped that the main meal could turn me. I went for the chicken vindaloo (nice but light on chicken content) and lamb bryani (greasy). ~£20! .......and it all fitted with ease on one plate, not value for money!I won't be going back again and wouldn't encourage others...

Great meal and nothing was too much trouble. Eaten in and taken away and both were very good. Very polite and friendly staff which is a very big plus point compared to other similar restaurants in the area. Will definitely eat here again.

We were recommended this restaurant by the proprietors of Meeson Hall Hotel a fantastic country house hotel which is nearby. On entry it seemed like any run of the mill Indian restaurant but how we were wrong!The food was possibly the best Indian food we have ever had and we have had quite few! The proprietor who was very friendly and helpful told us that they use no colours or preservatives and explained how they prepare the lamb which they use in their dishes. This lamb was perfect - no grissle and loads of taste.Also, as this is also a pub, there was good drinkable beer on tap which was definitely a bonus!Thanks Raj for a real treat of an Indian meal and we will be sure to visit again if we are in the area.

Visited last night yet again excellent service and food. The best madras and jalfrazi curry and the most freshest delicious naan bread. Cannot fault this lovely place. Quick and efficient service. Hope to return very shortly. The best curry in Shropshire.

We went here on a recommendation we were not disappointed the food is extremely hot very fresh and very tasty we would definitely be back the service was friendly and the Welcome warm

Fabulous food, great staff and a warm welcome always. We have been taking the kids the since they were very small and they have always been welcomed by Raj, his family and staff. The food is always excellent and special requests are always accommodated.I have recommended The Lion to many friends and they have all need delighted.

This was our first visit after a recommendation by a friend, and it certainly won't be our last. We have visited many restaurants over the years, and this has got to be one of the best. Fabulous service, fabulous food, a fantastic pint of bitter, lovely location and clean, well kept and lovely environment to eat in. Absolutely outstanding!

Went to this restaurant when it 1st opened round 1998, it was basic but extremely tasty with friendly service!The food is still marvelous, the welcome lovely & the speed of service, even when they're packed, is good! We recommend this gem to everyone in the area, though we are from Herts but visit family/friends in Shropshire regularly.

Must recommend their Lamb Sag Balti, chicken jalfrazi and channa masala. Bindi Baji, Gobi Baji. Raj and family are great hosts and we are so lucky to have such well cooked Indian Food on our doorstep. Well done to all.

This was a first visit to The Lion and it won't be the last as I've already booked a table for Friday night! I went with a party from work as one of our group is moving to pastures new and we had a lovely meal. The food was fresh and flavoursome, beautifully seasoned and spiced. The staff were polite, attentive and unobtrusive. Indian/Asian food can be unpredictable in its quality but this was fabulous!

Visited the Lion Inn in a group of 6 friends on a Friday evening and was glad we had booked as the place was buzzing. I can't praise highly enough the service, food, attention to detail and warm welcome given to us by our host Rajinder and his family. This is a lovely village pub set in Waters Upton close to Telford but in the heart of the country, a beautifully appointed restaurant which is both open but intimate at the same time due to the positioning of the tables. The menu is extensive but one of our party wanted something not on it, on requesting her choice we found it was no trouble to prepare this dish for her. Not the usual response from many restaurants. I have travelled to an awful lot of places and countries and eaten Indian food but I can honestly say, hand on heart, this is the best I have ever tasted. We can't wait to return to this gem of an eatery.

Another good night out with my friend for lovely authentic Indian cuisine Full of flavour and really tasty Tried a two new dishes .. One being a chicken tower I believe - lovely dish would have again :) ThankYou Raj and staff - always a pleasure

Lovely fresh food, it was a real pleasure to be served tikka & tandoori dishes without garish food colouring. Naans are light & fluffy. Service impeccable. Having been used to the quality of Birmingham's Balti restaurants it is such a treat to be able to eat great Indian food out in the sticks.

Lovely meal last night with my best friendBit of a late one as arrived after 10pm - but still food as always was great and full of flavour This place never gets old for me - recommend to anyone who wants good food and good warm welcoming service Thanks Raj :)

A long way to come but we gave always had a good meal...we have tried lots of Indians in shrewsbury but always end up here for taste and good service.

Once again had another lovely meal here with friends Extremely busy night this Saturday 30/01 but the service was not effected Very friendly as always from Raj, Nisa and Bobby Tried all new dishes this time around, recommend as always and not disappointed !! Very tasty and oozing with flavour - but couldn't forgot my favourite Bombay potatoes :) love them !! Thanks again and as always will return to this curry house every time

Came from American to attend my daughters college graduation and had dinner here. I absolutely ❤️'d it. I want some now❤️

We found the portions small than previous, and the food not as tasty, that went for the whole party. The place was not as packed as previously, maybe others feel as we do!

Ate here at the weekend and couldn't be any better. Lovely fresh ingredients and friendly staff. Best curry place in the area.

I have been eating here for a while now, We go as a party of 4 and always receive a warm friendly welcome, The staff are all very nice. The food is so good every time we go, never disappointed. Yesterday we tried a sharing platter to start, It was delicious, a mixture of samosa, lamb kebab, chicken tikka chunks onion barjis onions and peppers in a gorgeous sauce.really reccomend it. I has lamb rogan josh, lean tender lamb, beautiful.

I've been to The Lion Inn on a number of occasions and have always received a warm friendly welcome. The menu selection is excellent, being a non meat eater I was pleased to see a large selection of fish dishes on the menu. All meals are cooked fresh to order so you would expect a short wait for your meal but nothing unacceptable.Overall each visit I have made I have been impressed with the excellent customer service, varied menu and great food so wouldn't hesitate to recommend to my friends and family.

We visited here as a group of 6 following many recommendations and thought the food was lovely. There is something not quite right about the place to be honest but between us we could put our finger on exactly what.... there are a few magazines unfortunately. Upon arrival it was abundantly clear that this was a "pack em in" establishment. It was a very busy Saturday evening and we was on a makeshift table for 6. The waiters were having issues getting round all the tables and so did us diners! That being said we was quite comfortable and did get served quite quickly. We had a little wait to order drinks but this wasn't a problem. The food menu is ample if a little restricted. There doesn't seem the choice that you find other places. However we all managed to find something we wanted. . . Even though we all agreed nothing really jumped out at us.Strangely you have to declare the number of popodom's you require!!! We since found out that this is because you pay for them. We find this quite unorthodox. Also when the chutneys etc arrived... we had 3. Normally in other restaurants you get more choice and the popodom's are normally inclusive. For a pricey menu this seemed a bit cheap of the restaurant.When the food arrived... we can genuinely have no complaints. Everything was served promptly and was absolutely lovely. Really decent food here.We all ordered different dishes and not one person was unhappy with their choices.One or two of our party said they felt rushed and the service was rushed etc but I didn't agree to be honest. . . My issue was that the menu is pricey. And whilst you are getting quality food you can't help but feel they are cutting corners here and as a customer you feel cheated. . . CROWDING TOO MANY PUNTERS IN.... PAYING EXTRA FOR POPODOMS AND CHUTNEYS... THEN GETTING MEAGRE PORTIONS OF THEM... OVERPRICED, RESTRICTED AND UNIMAGINATIVE MENU....The food here was great but all we left saying was how the whole experience wasn't quite right. . . Hence why unfortunately we wouldn't return.

My wife and I are regular visitors to The Lion. Meals are always superb as is the service. I enjoy leaving it to Raj to surprise me with a meal and haven't been disappointed. Steve Cooper

We visited the Lion for a family birthday. There were 12 in the party and we were warmly greeted and given plenty of time to make our choices. In a couple of instances someone wanted something that wasn't on the menu and the waiter agreed to arrange the required dish to be prepared. When the food arrived it was excellent with everyone agreeing it was the best

We are regular visitors to The Lion and are always made to feel extremely welcome by Raj, Nisa and Rahman.The curries are superb, freshly made with the best ingredients and friendly service. Curry heaven We've been to many curry restaurants over the years and this without doubt is the best of the lot. We've tried most of the dishes on the menu and all have been lovely - the lamb / chicken bhunas and tandoori king prawns being particular favourites!
