Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the meat, with lamb chops described as fantastic and others calling the meat soft and melt in the mouth. Close behind are the chicken tikka masala and chicken tikka rogan, called decent and satisfying, plus a lime pickle served with the poppadoms and a pint of Kingfisher. Portions are described as huge, and one diner notes the naan arrived piping hot. The staff come up repeatedly as friendly, accommodating and welcoming, and several praise the atmosphere. Some mention celebrating Christmas Day or an anniversary here, and one says several dishes could be made gluten free for a coeliac diner with no ill effects. The one recurring complaint is pace: one reviewer describes a slow evening with a wait to order drinks, a long gap between drinks and starters, and another between starters and mains, even though the restaurant wasn't busy, though they wondered if cooking the lamb chops caused it. Another reviewer mentions a complimentary shot at the end of the meal.
