Customer Review Summary
Curries anchor the praise, led by the lamb rogan josh, which one reviewer calls delicious with a great balance of spices. Close behind are the tarkha dhal, described as subtly flavoured and generous, and a chicken dhansak called flavoursome. Takeaway regulars also single out the parathas, pilau rice and mint sauce, and a child's chicken korma arrived in a large portion. Portions and value come up repeatedly, and several reviewers say their takeaway and delivery orders have never disappointed. Staff are called friendly and welcoming throughout, and one diner describes old world touches such as a pulled out chair and a napkin draped over the lap. The one sharp complaint comes from a takeaway customer who found the curry far from authentic: a creamy dish and a tikka dish tasted the same and were overly sweet, though that reviewer still called the service fantastic. One table that found a main course too hot had it replaced with a milder version without asking.

“Food was soo nice excellent service friendly staff”

“Mouth watering food . I have enjoyed three takeaway meals from here and amazing taste , flavours. Go for the specials. I thoroughly enjoyed the curry , the parathas, the pilau rice and my favourite mint sauce. The chef has created amazing flavours. The staff are very friendly and nice. They prepare it and takes 45 mins approximately for a home delivery. It is free delivery over 16 .95 . I hope to sit in the restaurant soon but walking the dog full time job . I have loved curries for fifty years and the chef is excellent, I have tried two different dishes and each has blown me away.”

“Ordered food to takeaway, curry is far from authentic. Ordered a creamy dish and a tikka dish but both tasted the same and were overly sweet. It’s a shame, seeing as the service is fantastic, just not a great authentic curry!”
