Customer Review Summary

Samosas draw the most mentions, with one reviewer singling out the lamb samosas as fresh and crisp with good quality meat, and another calling the samosas great. Aloo parathas with tea also get praise as very tasty. Reviewers describe the food as fresh, flavourful and authentic, with a good variety of curries, snacks and sweets and generous portions, and they repeatedly mention friendly, welcoming staff. One reviewer says the counter staff helped choose items for a child's birthday party order, and everything was enjoyed by the group. Prices split opinion. Several call them sensible or cheap, but one reviewer paid £28 for two curries and five chapattis, found it extortionate, and felt the curry was not very authentic and suited to Anglo Saxon tastes. Another notes prices going up and portions getting smaller, and one says food can take time when cooked fresh. The party order guided by counter staff is the detail reviewers return to.
