The food here is unbelievably good, especially the chicken and lamb samosas with their light pastry and perfectly spiced filling. We've also tried the channa dal, lamb and chicken dishes, and sag aloo, all of which were superb. The slow-cooked lamb is incredibly tender and served in a rich, thick gravy that melts in your mouth thanks to being cooked on the bone. The spices are perfectly balanced and the dishes have a homemade, authentic feel that we absolutely love. We can't wait to try all the specials next time!

Do they not know it is cooked with a vegetable sauce, all I got was rice and a very limited portion of chicken. The Pakoras were bland as was the hole meal, my dog even agreed.
