Pleasant service with staff having excellent knowledge of the menu. Good range of options available to suit all tastes. Affordable. Now to the food; Starters are always good and the fish masala is something else. Chicken masala our midweek main stay-I highly recommend visiting here; Rest assured once you try this place you will go back.

I was told a collection time and promptly arrived. The smell in the car on way home was amazing, salivating during my 8 min drive home.however, We found the rice to be cold, not tepid but actually cold, our starters the same and no salad was on the salad either, our main course was Luke warm and had to be put in oven. The garlic Nan needed oven attention too, popadoms were burnt. What a disappointment from a usually top class place.

Service here is always great smiles and happy to do anything to make it a good experience.

The food I felt was harshly spiced with no fresh coriander in sight. Not bad food just not stand out. Maybe I had the wrong dishes as the tandoori food looked good. Salad lovely and fresh and poppadoms as always with nice creamy yogurt sauce. Still worth a visit will go back.

We were seated and given menus but not asked if we wanted to order a drink. 15 minutes later we had to ask for a drink and the waiter seemed shocked?!
