The food is top-notch, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the decor is tastefully done. It stands out from the rest. I believe more people flock to the other Indian restaurant because they can bring their own alcohol, which is why they are much busier. It's a shame because the food here is exceptional and offers a wide variety of options. Definitely worth a visit.

I opted for King Prawn masala with pilao rice and saag aloo. Palatable. The vegetable somoza starter is good. Choice of 3 beers. Tiger seemed slightly better than Kingfisher. Good service.

Our hotel provided several different menus from a variety of eateries in the local area. After much deliberation, we ultimately decided to head to Junoon for dinner. What fantastic judgement by us! We were greeted by friendly staff on arrival who were only too happy to accommodate us with our cumbersome pram. We sat down at our table and began an evening which turned out to be a masterclass in Indian Restauranting. Drinks orders were taken quickly, allowing us to rehydrate after a hot day of being snappy and soothing our child. Poppadoms quickly followed with a selection of three chutneys and raw onions. There was no need to pace oneself when using the dips as the depth of the ramekin meant there was a plentiful supply. After enjoying these, it was time to place our order. I requested a paneer pathia something that wasn't on the menu. I wondered whether requesting this unorthodox order would be the moment that we would start to see the cracks in what had up to this point be an outstanding restaurant experience. I was wrong to have any doubts. Our kind server was unflinching in the acceptance of this request. As well as the pathia, my wife ordered sag aloo and we opted to share a cheese naan and a pilau rice. When the food eventually came, it was absolutely delicious! Our recalcitrant baby boy did his best to ruin yet another evening for us by screaming and generally trying to monopolise our attention, but his efforts were in vain. A kind staff member was attentive enough to recognise that we were struggling to manage his behaviour and offered too put on the nearby aor conditioning which proved to be very helpful in stifling the child's rage. When the bill came we were suprised at how inexpensive our meal was. Another note would be that the toilets were very clean and presentable. Would strongly recommend Junoon to anyone in the area considering a place to eat out. Genuinely struggling to think of constructive feedback, maybe the front door is a bit stiff.
