Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly single out the chilli garlic cheese bites and starters as the strongest part of the menu, with several noting the mains do not always match up, one describing the starters as delicious but the mains as lacking flavour across two visits. Fish curry and prawns also draw praise, and most describe the staff as friendly, attentive and accommodating, with one recalling a waiter charging a dead phone before a customer's journey home and another noting kids received a free colouring book to keep them occupied. Halal availability is appreciated by at least one diner, who suggests it should be advertised more clearly to draw in more custom. A couple of reviewers mention a dip in atmosphere or service compared to earlier visits, describing it as duller than before, though most still call it the best curry they've had in years and return on a regular, sometimes monthly basis.

“Visited after a long day at Twin Lakes and had a great meal. My phone died because my power bank cable had broken, and the waiter kindly charged it for me before my journey home. Really appreciated the help. Delicious food and fantastic service. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“I came with my family yesterday to soi Indian restaurant. I must say this restaurant is amazing food wise, atmosphere wise, service wise everything. It’s the first time we came and absolutely had a great experience. Food is amazing 10/10. Kids got a free colouring book with crayons to keep them occupied.”

“This is the best Indian in the entire area, anyone who says something else doesn’t have a clue! The food is authentic, always spiced individually and the staff is extremely nice. We come here every month and are amazed every single time”

“We’ve been to eat here twice and found the same both times… The starters were delicious, no problem whatsoever. However the mains lack a lot flavour. …”
