When I entered, they started to write down what was for the GROUPON coupons. Certainly, from the menu but restricted...to about 6 items from starters and 6 from the main dish. She called me back to the till to tell me what was available. When I asked, why can’t the management print the menu for GROUPON coupons and put them on display or at least on GROUPON site the list should be there…it’s very deviously advertised. One would think, you can have one dish from starters, one from the main and naan, but total disappointment. Naan was also the cheapest and plain. The shish kebab came… one kebab cut into two. That put me off straight away…two small pieces. I asked for a lamb dish but was served chicken. The chicken was very hard, overcooked or done a long while back. I asked for hot (spicy), but it was sweeter than ice cream. Generally, Indian dishes are decorated with coriander pieces on top, but here none. Chef certainly does not know how to present a dish. When I spoke to the chef (certainly well past his retirement age), he told me that portions are cut into half of what they are on the regular menu. Could see two big dishes lying in the open…exposed to all without cover…hygiene??? So, a kebab dish, a main dish and a naan on a regular menu would have cost me 1.50 more but would have fed 2 people, since portions were cut in halves for Groupon vouchers. Daylight robbery. Total rip-off of the pricing, portions and pathetic staff.

The platter was served on a large plate, and all the food was delicious and well-seasoned. It was definitely worth it! I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area. All the negative reviews should give this restaurant another shot! We had a great meal for three, all for just £35!

However, Google indicated that they were serving food, but when we arrived, the kitchen was closed and wouldn't open for quite some time. This may need to be re-evaluated.

Just to clarify, there’s nothing wrong with the cooking, but if you're looking for authentic Indian cuisine, this isn't the place for you. However, if you're in the mood for British Indian food, then this is a good choice. We tried three different non-alcoholic mojitos, and to be honest, they all tasted quite sweet and similar. The atmosphere is very nice, and while the service is good, there's room for improvement. There's plenty of parking available on-site.
