“Great find, really good food and service. Best Shashlik, biryani and the naan bread is best of all around here. You can take your own booze, as not licensed, just pay a small corkage fee. Brilliant and hope it stays that way! Advise booking for Fri/Sat etc.”

“No texture to the sauce. Had the butter chicken, chicken tikka, and chicken caylon (spicy dish). No flavour, sauce runny and thin with no flavour. Chicken caylon wasn’t even close to resembling what the dish should have been with zero spice. Don’t bother with this place, just stick to Kashmir and Purewel. It’s worlds apart - wish we never bothered. £50.00 down the drain.”

“Had our first carry out last weekend. We ordered and paid online with no problems. Just a little wait beyond the time slot allocated for collection, but it was really worth the wait. The restaurant was full and buzzing which is a great sign for a food establishment. Our food was delicious, fresh and hot. I have no problem with recommending this eatery.”
