Can’t fault the taste, it was lovely and hot and quick delivery BUT… we ordered a pilau rice, the whole room heard us order it, the restaurant even read it back in the order! But it wasn’t delivered. We rang and the guy at the restaurant was very rude. Claiming we didn’t ordered it. Making comments such as ‘ I’m not psychic ‘. We asked for another rice to be sent to which they agreed but said that we wouldn’t get it for free and did we want to pay cash or card? We never assumed we were getting it free? Again another unnecessary comment. Once the rice was delivered, the delivery driver claimed he had no change for couldn’t give us the £1.90 we was owed? What deliver driver doesn’t carry change? The rice we ordered was pilau and then they sent boiled? So we paid £5 for a rice that wasn’t even correct! The restaurant then rang us to say ‘ are you happy now ? ‘ … such a shame the staff have bad attitudes as we are regulars and now we will never use them again and will not be recommending them to anyone!

Guys, firstly, the food was OK, and I say that because the curry was no where near hot enough to be a naga curry. Secondly, the chef needs to add individuality to his or her curry, because there was too much base curry there. C'mon chef, LIVEN IT UP A LITTLE! Also, and I'll say this again! Do they think that us people that live here in the UK are ignorant on WHAT a curry should taste like????? Blimey, I've been making and eating and making curry for over 30 years! Don't think we don't know what we're talking about!

The menu is extensive but I chose bengal chilli chicken , it was described as a home style dish . What a good choice strong flavours and a chilli kick too. . I was stunned with its taste . The accompanying pilauo rice also had those little complex elements to it. This was an Indian meal at its best . Additional little things impress me like proper linen napkins and table clothes , my beer glass and cutlery were squeaky clean and the loos were reassuringly clean
