Customer Review Summary
Curry is what draws repeat mentions here, with several diners calling it the best they've had and praising food arriving piping hot and tasty, alongside popadoms singled out as among the best tried, served with a wide selection of dips. Value comes up often too, with portions described as good and a group of twelve noting a discounted bill during an afternoon offer. Close behind, dishes like king prawn butterfly, lamb tikka masala, and karahi lamb get named as satisfying orders. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and accommodating, with one party noting extra guests were added to a booking without issue. Complaints center on inconsistency: one samosa arrived hot outside and cold inside during a busy service, and a saag gosht portion was seen as small next to others' balti sizes. One takeaway order is described as having no flavor, stone cold rice, and a vegetable balti made largely of frozen carrots, peas, and a few pieces of potato, leading that reviewer to say they wouldn't return.

“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!”

“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.”
