Customer Review Summary
Onion bhajis are the dish reviewers name most, praised as delicious in the mixed starter and on their own, with the chicken chaat, king prawns, sheek kebab starter and keema naan also singled out. Mains such as South Indian chilli chicken, chicken masala, lamb balti and lamb jaipuri draw praise for flavour and generous portions, and several call the prices reasonable. One diner says the chef made a dairy-free dish on request. Staff are described as friendly and welcoming, and one reviewer notes service has improved since an earlier visit. Criticism is mixed. One reviewer found the curries toned down and lacking a traditional, homemade flavour. Another says the bread was slightly burnt and the papadum had a slightly off oil taste, and mentions parking is an issue. A third describes waiters standing around chatting, with a wait for the bill after finishing the meal that left the service feeling slow. One diner who arrived at half past six found the place already packed.

“Only in town as a stop over and came across this place by chance as it's close to our hotel. Shared two outstanding dishes from the Specials menu! Service was great and the place seemed to he nice and clean. Food was reasonably priced and we would have been happy to pay a bit more. Highly recommend!”

“Had an absolutely delicious meal tonight. Chef went out of his way to make me something I wanted without dairy. King prawns were huge, onion bhajis delicious and the atmosphere was so relaxed and happy. Highly recommend for an easy dinner out. Well done”

“Great food and very generously priced for the portions available. Waiters stood about chatting so service was fairly slow . Waited 35mins to receive the bill after having finished our meal otherwise an ok experience”

“Went for lunch and had garlic mushrooms, chicken pakora to start, then for mains we had lamb jaipuri and lamb balti with rice and garlic naan, we finished off with some vanilla ice cream. Everything came to under £30 which is amazing, and the food itself was absolutely delicious and filled with so much flavour. The staff were also very friendly and the service was quite quick too. We will definitely be back!”
