Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the freshly cooked, homemade Indian cooking, with the daal ("the best daal I've had since Mumbai") and the peshawari naan named as standouts, alongside vegetarian sides praised even by a self-described picky vegetarian guest. Several also describe warm, personal service, including staff greeting returning customers without needing names. Against this, a recurring cluster of complaints centers on inconsistent kitchen execution: one diner describes a butter chicken served in a lukewarm, oily, watery sauce that had to be sent back and reheated, leaving her anxious about possible food poisoning afterward; another found a bone in a chicken masala ordered for an anniversary meal and called the restaurant overpriced; and a takeaway order of masala dahl, chana masala, and puris arrived cold, with the dahl only a third full and the puris described as greasy and "smelt fishy." Despite this unevenness, hospitality recurs as a strength, exemplified by one visit where a staffing shortage delayed food but the chef came out personally to apologize and offered a free drink.

    “Absolutely an awful meal would not ever visit there again worst Nan bread and Indian meal we have had very disappointing as visited by before and was very good”

    “2nd visit here 12months after 1st. Hoped it would be better. Im afraid not. Service at 7pm extremely quick- we were first customers that night. Service seemed efficient but not friendly. Poppadoms just served without asking if we wanted any!. Husband ordered chicken rogan, I ordered butter chicken plus rice and chips to share. Mine came , and went back. Huge pieces of chicken barely warm sitting in a strange watery oily liquid, a little bit warmer. Waitress offered to reheat it!! Another bowl of huge chicken pieces came. Warmer, but still not really hot, same oily water was boiling hot so obviously not cooked together. The chicken was tasteless, possibly cooked in boiling water. Liquid was awful. Tasteless but with a little kick, looked like dirty water, again with an oily, presumably melted butter/ margarine slick on the surface of the water. It was appalling. I couldn't drink the liquid. Left most of the chicken. Rice and chips ok. Chicken rogan was really nice. Looked nice and tasted just like you would expect it to.Explained to waiter why we hadn't left a tip. His response was " its ok I didn't cook it!!! Spent the evening hoping I was not going to come down with food poisoning from first bits of chicken. Luckily I was ok. Won't be back .”
