Customer Review Summary
Curries draw the most praise, with reviewers naming the chicken bhuna for its tangy tomato base and warming chilli heat, and the Sherpa chicken for its generous serving. Close behind are the naan, which one diner calls the best around while another finds it thin and crispy, and the momos, described as juicy and flavourful enough to order twice. Large groups report quick service even when ordering all at once, and several describe staff as welcoming and accommodating, with one noting they checked in on the table. Portions split opinion. Some found them large enough that extra naan and chilli chips were unnecessary, while one reviewer found them small, with rice charged separately. Two reviewers describe staff as unfriendly, and one doubts the Sunday set meal delivered the five courses advertised. One diner reports a samosa still frozen in the middle and chicken that mixed good pieces with rubbery ones.

“Samosa not defrosted properly so frozen in the middle. Chicken in the main course was a mixture of good pieces and rubbery pieces. Service was not at all friendly or welcoming.”
- Vikas Chauhan
“Went on 12th of june evening and staff was welcoming, warm and polite. Food was excellent and service was 5 star. Will be going regular from now on”
- Horreh Todeh Kharman
“Although the taste of the food was good, the portion was small considering the price. You have to pay extra for rice which again will comes in a small portion!!! The staff was also not friendly at all.”
- Ethan Travasso
“We went group of four and received great service alongside excellent food. The portions are generous; we ordered the Sherpa chicken, chilli chips, and two garlic naans, but the chicken and a single naan would have been plenty. The extra naan and chilli chips were completely unnecessary given the large serving sizes. It is highly recommended, but order conservatively.”
- Candy Pop
“It was group of 7 before going to the theatre. Lovely service, they really looked after us. Loads of nice curries to choose from, specialities I have not seen before. Reasonable priced wine too.”
