The bhajis are crispy and light. The poppadoms are always served fresh with loads of crisp salad and onion, and a set of three yummy sauces.The samosas are a bit bland actually, if I'm being really honest. The sheek kebab is absolutely yummy and perfectly spiced.We have tried so many of the curries. There is lots of choice. You literally cannot go wrong the sauces are all delicious. What lets this place down is the horrible cheap chicken they use. I've tried plain and tikka and unfortunately it isn't improved by the marinade. It tastes glassy and reheated. It has such a horrible texture. It falls apart in strands rather than being juicy and flavoursome. If you order lamb it is not soft slow cooked and tender (which I love in curries)... it is tough, grizzly and charred and then dipped in the sauce as an afterthought. I really can't get around it. I've tried ordering on several different occasions thinking I just got them on a bad day. For now I will be sticking to vegetarian items from the menu as I just can't eat the meat here. It's so disappointing as the quality and taste of everything else is really good. I really hope they read this review and take it on board.
