Customer Review Summary
Onion bhaji comes up again and again as a favorite, alongside starters like chicken chaat and sheek kebab, with mains such as lamb jaipuri, lamb balti and South Indian chilli chicken praised for generous portions and bold spicing. Several reviewers call out friendly, welcoming staff and reasonable prices, with more than one meal for two coming in under £30. Close behind the food praise is a recurring note on service pace: one reviewer waited 35 minutes for the bill after staff stood about chatting, and another mentions parking as an issue nearby. One diner found the curries lacked a homemade, traditional flavour and said they'd choose more authentic Indian food elsewhere, while another noted slightly burnt bread and off-tasting papadum oil alongside an otherwise satisfying meal. Multiple reviewers describe returning repeatedly, and one recounts the chef adapting a dish to leave out dairy on request.

“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!”
