“A decent curry place, been back a few times delivery driver is a nice guy. Prices are reasonable for an indian, the mushroom pilau rice portions are good Prefer the peshawari nans a bit sweeter/more coconutty, one time my chicken (in a madras) was just a little dry, chicken in the other dish was perfect. But only minor nitpicks to explain the 4/5 rather than 5/5. An 8.5/10 Im my own scoring system. Best curry you can get delivered in my area.”

“Best Indian food we have had in ages, absolutely delicious. Many thanks.”

“Excellent and superb - the best takeaway I’ve had in years - absolutely spot on ! Fill your boots with abandon - what it may have saved in decor has been invested fully in the quality of the food”

“Food was good, the thing that bothers me the most is the attitude. Either delivery guy or restaurant is happy to risk bad review for 1 pound and decides to keep insisting I'm wrong and got the right change. Ring camera recording doesn't lie.”
- G W Rees
“Total bill came to £39 and then was told that because I'm paying by card 50p is being added to my bill. Interesting business model. Obviously they have a sales prevention strategy. Word spreads very quick around …”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
