Reviews summary

In a recent exploration of a well-regarded local Indian restaurant, diners experienced a mixed bag of impressions. While the food consistently received high praises for its freshness and flavor, the service left much to be desired. Many guests reported long waits for orders, incorrect dishes being served, and an alarming lack of proactive staff engagement. Some customers even experienced discrepancies in billing. Despite the elegant atmosphere and commendable hygiene standards, several patrons voiced their discontent with the overall experience, declaring intentions not to return. In contrast, a few enjoyed superb service and memorable meals, highlighting an inconsistency that potential visitors should consider.

Went due to great reviews. Service and location great as we're poppadoms and sides. However Chicken Korma was bland with dry chicken, and king prawn dish.. didn't taste of much at all despite emphasis placed on garlic... Nice people but more effort needed in the mains.

The food was fantastic, the service was exceptional, and the price per person ranged from £30 to £40. I rated the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect 5 out of 5.

AWFUL!!!! After waiting an hour and a half I was given beef instead of chicken, complained and my food came out in minutes!!!! My partner also visited a couple of weeks before and has a severe nut allergy and they still put almonds on top of her curry. Then took it back, picked them off and presented it again! Shocking! The rest of the food tastes watered down and of nothing! They were very busy and the staff were kind enough, but shocking food. And then to top of all off we were charged £77, the butter chicken was taken off and rice for being the wrong order originally! But wow! They make their own calculations on a hand written receipt!!! Never ever again visiting! Will tell everyone to avoid! Wish I could give 0 stars!!!!!!! Never one to complain but wow.

Booked table for 11 people for 7.45 pm arrived 7.35 asked to get a drink at the bar. Waited 20 minutes to get a drink (bar wasn’t busy) they were doing drinks for the restaurant. Had to ask if they were serving Got to the table never got food till 10pm then they got meals mixed up. Curry’s came in a bowl 4 pieces of meat not a lot of sauce. Then to charge £32 service charge is a disgrace. Never again

First takeaway for many years after standard of food dropped badly. They now deliver to local area I think a £3 charge. Food good quality apart from the lamb dish which was very chewy, although our dogs didn't complain. Will try again and hope that this wasn't a one off as it is only just up the road from us and used to be very good. Staff OK but not as friendly as previously.

Absolutely Fantastic. That’s all that needs to be said about this lovely restaurant. The food is delicious, and always comes out hot. The staff are very friendly and, without fail, follow proper service etiquette (i.e serving ladies first, etc. This is without a doubt the best Indian that my parter and I have visited (and trust me, we’ve tested out quite a few . Good for couples, families and large groups, and parking is never an issue.

Eating is amazing. excellent and friendly service. they even keep the door open for them. recommend them to everyone. actually not eaten in the restaurant.

First time at this restaurant. Service fantastic. Lovely food and a great ambience

Went for a meal of 16 of us last night. Good food but they hid the service charge under the edge of menu so couldn't see that! Then bought out £27 worth of poppadoms and expected us to pay for them! Something wasn't right with the bill as we all added up and it still didn't match. Won't be going again.

Won’t be going back- The Bill was played with!! Be careful in a big group! £17 for 10 ’poppadoms and one tray of condiments !!!!!! Yes it was New Years Eve but we spent the whole evening asking, there was no pro-active service. Drinks were forgotten many times lost count, dishes missing and one waiter was quite rude when serving. Food couldn’t fault and some polite waiters there but service very poor! Also exceptionally pricey we were shocked when the bill came…things had been added and increased! Won’t be going back can’t trust the pricing!

Eating is fantastic. the personal is friendly, friendly and attentive. we recently went on a Saturday night and the restaurant was full, but the staff remained composed and the food remained excellent.
