They claimed it was the wrong table and didn't take the situation seriously. They overcharged me, so I recommend avoiding this restaurant.

The food was cold, and it's understandable that it can be challenging to keep food warm in a buffet setting. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

The food was excellent and I would highly recommend it. Everyone enjoyed the lovely meal. Thanks to Imad and the team for the wonderful evening. read more The food was excellent and I would highly recommend it. Everyone enjoyed the lovely meal.

The food was excellent and service good too. My main course of Chicken Tikka Jall Merchi was hot and spicy as described! The place is a bit tatty around the edges, especially the carpet which is ready for the skip. So a few pounds spent might get a few more through the door.

Low fell being much morr limited and on a rainy night we decided to stay local and go here on the recommendation of a friend. The place was warm and we were given a table dtrsight away. I notice the place was very old school even down to the trolley they brought the food on. Drinks and food ordered we had the pickle trsy and it was nice. The yogurt sauce had a slightly gloopy consistency but tasted ok. being only the 2nd party in there the food came after a reasonable wait. Service was polite abd the starter nice enough, bhuna prawn on puri and chicken tikka. Next rice garlic naan and chicken dhansak and bhuna. Nice chicken , sauces slightly spicy but no problem but no pineapple in the dhansak which was dissapointing and the naan a bit smaller than am ysed to but appreciste rising costs and it was nice. We had a pleasant night and enjoyed the food rounded off by tje obligatory after eight.
