Maybe 1 or 2 vegan options, which I found surprising as that’s not the case with any of the other Indian places around. No dessert options and the small plates in between (like the pani puri) was given to randomly chosen tables. Good service, but lured by the google rating for a disappointing visit. Food: 1

Honestly, the most gorgeous curries and Indian food we've ever had. Not bog-standard British versions of curries we've all eaten so many times over the years, but intricate, thoughtful flavours, absolute treat for the senses, so very delicious; with lots of lovely complimentary touches like the palette cleanser that came pre-dessert. Plus, we loved the decor front of house, so many lovely touches.

It should be noted that this is what I’d describe as a more ‘upmarket’ Indian restaurant and if you’re expecting a Tikka/Korma type of menu, you’ll be surprised. That being said, if you’ve an open mind to new dishes, you can’t really go wrong. I had the lamb curry which was very tender and flavoursome. The staff were fairly friendly and the prices were fair for the quality of food and nice environment.

While it may be a good place to dine in and seems to have positive reviews, I suggest visiting in person instead. Typically, I don't write negative reviews, but I feel compelled to warn others. My ordering experience was poor (and I have emails to prove it), so I would suggest avoiding ordering takeout from here.

The staff here are very rude. It’s shocking. I do not recommend this place. read more The staff here are very rude. It’s shocking. I do not recommend this place.
