My wife had to repeat her order from the top to a second waiter. However, once Chef had been told...what was required we received exactly what we wanted. My lamb starter was excellent and we both had a Goan style main; I had a prawn curry and my wife a fish curry, which were both very flavoursome with a decent quantity of the advertised fish. The disppointment of the evening was to find that they don't have any desserts on the menu, I always look forward to having a very sweet Indian pudding after a good main meal, but no such luck this time. Apparently the locals don't want desserts. Shame! But we were given a free glass of Baileys as compensation, so I can't really complain too much.

The restaurant was bustling and the staff were very attentive. We may have had a bit too many Cobras, but overall, it was a very enjoyable evening. I look forward to visiting Cowes again in the future.

We asked for halal meat and they were uncertain whether or not they had any options and this was frustrating especially because on the website it said “halal”..the service was ok all together expect for the loud chatting between them and constant banging of cutleries and squeaking trolleys being carried around the restaurant. I also would have expected Indian music which unfortunately was replaced by some sort of loud commercial one. I would go back for the food but not for the service, sorry.
