Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the food, with one calling the lamb as good as it gets and another already planning biryani for breakfast. Others describe fresh, tasty, consistent dishes, and a korma, pilau rice, naan and onion bhajis are each called fine or nice. Several also mention friendly, attentive staff and fast service when eating in, and one visitor found it quiet enough that no reservation was needed. The complaints cluster around takeaway and delivery. Several report orders arriving late and cold. Others describe a watery, tasteless mugi masala, stale or greasy naan, and a main meal sitting in oil even after stirring. One reviewer found a bone in a boneless Murgh Masala. The most detailed account describes repeated calls about a delayed order, being told it was about to leave, and then receiving cold food with smashed, scorched popadoms.
