Customer Review Summary
Food is the draw for nearly every reviewer, described as rich in flavor with real depth, and one calls the curry the best around. One diner calls the lamb and king prawns the best they have had, and the Ramadan buffet earns praise for its wide range of starters and mains, with one reviewer calling it good value and the wine very good. Close behind is the service, called friendly, professional, warm and helpful, with waiters who treated nothing as too much trouble. Reviewers also mention that most of the menu is gluten free and that the restaurant is clean. The caveats are modest but specific. One reviewer found the portions small for the price, another saw food take a while to arrive on New Year's Eve and advises booking, and one finds the atmosphere a bit too dark. A few have ordered takeaway and found it good, though one says eating in is a different experience, with the food presentation singled out.

“The food is absolutely amazing!! Flavors are rich and with a depth. The service is flawless. Our servers were a delight and provided pretty quick service with food being served within 5-8 mins of placing the order. Price-wise, it was on the expensive side for the size of portions that were served, however a great experience and would definitely recommend everyone to have atleast one visit”
