Visited this restaurant on Saturday for the first time. I ordered the prawn Korma which was very plain and looked more like a tin of yellow soup with the smallest prawns I've ever seen in an Indian curry. The garlic nann was not nice,all cut up,very greasy and undercooked. I have had many Indian meals and cook my own,and this unfortunately was the worse I've had. The waiters were also quite cheeky and not at all witty like they thought they were. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Fantastic cocktails too Can’t wait to go back. Highly recommended A

Consistently good food under the watchful eye of the owner and his wife and attentive staff. A very good and wide ranging menu and if you have difficulty making your mind up the owner is happy to make suggestions.
