The quality of certain meats, particularly the lamb, is not as good as it used to be, with some dishes having more sauce than actual meat. The service, which has always been slow (possibly due to dishes being cooked from scratch), has now become more casual and even arrogant. It's a shame because there are not many good restaurants in Radlett.

I returned with two friends on Saturday and our experience was less good. They had a big party and so understandably they had less time. We had pompodums rather than starters and so judged on mains and veg. The vegetable portions were too small and we wished we had ordered more food-very unusual for an Indian where one usually over orders! The peshwari was not nearly as nice as earlier in the week. Overall my second visit was disappointing.

This time I requested for a chicken Bhuna which wasn't on the menu and the chef kindly made from scratch, despite being really busy in the kitchen, the flavours of all dishes we've tried have been delicious- service is also really good. It is a little pricey but it's a fine dining curry restaurant and not to be compared with your normal take away!
