Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the food itself, singling out the curry, the naan bread and the onion bhaji as the finest one diner had tasted, with a mango lassi also earning a mention. Portions come up repeatedly as big or generous, and several describe the dishes as fresh and full of flavour. Close behind is the staff, called friendly, warm and welcoming, with one reviewer noting they went out of their way to look after the table. Service is described as fast and attentive, and one delivery order arrived at the stated time. A few mention a four course deal with a drink and an early bird offer recommended by a hotel. One reviewer notes the restaurant is newly refurbished and keen to take on feedback, and the decor and layout are called nice. The only note short of full marks is a four star visit that still described a great meal and good service. No complaints recur in the reviews. One diner finishes with a free shot at the end of the meal.
