Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the value, and the five-course set menu is the clearest example, though one notes the "5 courses" counts a poppadom, pickles, a starter, a main and rice or naan, so it feels closer to three. Alongside that, diners single out the King Prawn Bhuna, with huge, juicy prawns in a rich sauce, plus a mixed platter, onion bajis and garlic naan. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, and generous portions come up too. One regular says they prefer it to a pricier rival curry house. The main complaint comes from one detailed review of a quiet evening. The couple waited over 10 minutes just to order drinks, and tables that sat down after them were served first. Poppadoms took about 25 minutes to arrive, and the mains came out before the starters they had ordered. They were never asked how the meal was and were offered no apology, and they still paid in full. Everyone else describes smooth, quick service, and one family notes they had only tried the takeaway before sitting in.
