Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the lamb chops and the house tawa as standouts, describing tender, well-seasoned meat and generous portions, with several also praising the chicken tikka masala on past visits. Service draws consistent praise as friendly, polite, and quick, and more than one reviewer mentions the food being well priced. A few visits fall short of this pattern: one collection order arrived with the butter chicken described as watery and onions included despite a request to leave them out, and a table of four found the mixed kebab starter's shish not tasting like lamb anymore, with chewy tikka chicken sent back on two plates. One reviewer also describes a group visit marred by a long delay before drinks arrived, an incorrect order, and staff who were dismissive when the issue was raised, with the owner's son reportedly telling them not to return. Most reviewers, however, describe returning repeatedly, and one advises booking ahead on Saturday nights.

“We dined here today and all had a variety of food as a table of 4. Two of us had the mixed kebab starter and the shish kebab does not seem to be lamb anymore and tastes like chicken and honestly wasn't very nice. The tika chicken that came with the mains was also quite chewy with 2 of the 4 mains and so was left. This was very disappointing as we have often eaten here and not had problems.”

“Read some good reviews online so thought I'd try it myself. Wasn't disappointed, lovely fresh food, friendly and attentive staff, a great pint and very well priced. Plenty of parking along the seafront and a nice bar next door. I look forward to coming back.”

“Rated 3/5 Unable to comment about atmosphere as I ordered to collect. However the butter chicken was general like water & chicken - didnt enjoy 😒 I asked for no onions and the curry came with onions which made the second meal unenjoyable too... However I have ordered previously, using the same service with similar notes for the chef and the chicken tikka masala was beautiful a couple of weeks back. Im not sure if these issues was due to the time of day and they were rushed but I was unfortunately let down. The deals seem really good value for money, rice nice and not overcooked. I was advised this business had a revamp and had really tasty, good quality food but im not sure if Id try it again. I might possibly try eating in... Id recommend this Indian takeaway but not order as late. If you have specific preference, maybe also call to double check they will do.”
