“We travelled up from Swansea for a friend’s birthday party and had an amazing meal at this lovely meeting. They kindly added two extra people to our booking at the last minute and from the moment we arrived the staff couldn’t do enough for us. Immaculately clean, the quality of the food was second to none. Everything arrived quickly and was exactly what we ordered. Piping hot and extremely tasty, this is the best curry I have had for many years. I honestly can’t recommend this place highly enough!”
- Carl Woodhouse
“Welcomed and shown to our booked table, ordering was easy and offered more time if needed. Food was fab, four of us had drinks, starters and mains, really tasty and different flavours on all dishes. Value for money was second to none, was pleasantly suprised. The little touches made the difference here, the team could not of done any more. Well worth a repeat visit for us, we are 60 miles away.”
- Zoe Ball
“Food was good. Not the best curry I have had but it was tasty, could of done with a little more spice. The wait on the curry was a little long but there were quite a few of us. Prices were very reasonable and portion size was good. Waiters were also friendly.”
- Ray Smith
“I had take away food. The staff I dealt with were Ace. For me the food was much of a muchness. It's all down to preference I suppose, but for me the food was 6/10 . Don't avoid , it's worth a visit for the extensive menu choice alone.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly staff and the value, with several describing generous portions at reasonable prices and a team that "couldn't do enough," including one group that had two extra guests added to a booking at the last minute. The popadoms with a selection of dips, the curry, and the naan with chips draw specific praise, and one reviewer mentions a group meal where a discount applied in the early afternoon. Food quality splits more than service does. One reviewer found the curry tasty but wanted more spice, and another called the food "much of a muchness" while still crediting the extensive menu. The sharpest complaints concern takeaway and busy periods: one reviewer describes a vegetable balti of frozen carrots, frozen peas and a few pieces of furry potato, with stone cold rice, and another received a samosa hot outside and cold inside, plus a saag gosht that looked small beside the large balti portions at other tables. One group also found the wait for curries a little long. Dine-in visitors who travelled from as far as Swansea describe food arriving piping hot and exactly as ordered.
