Customer Review Summary
Diners consistently single out the keema naan, described by one reviewer as filled with meat throughout rather than in patches, alongside the chicken tikka masala that several call some of the best they've had despite a darker sauce than expected. Close behind, the chilli garlic chicken and onion bhaji get called sensational by one visitor, and others highlight vegetarian sides paired with mushroom rice and garlic naan. Service draws repeated praise, with reviewers naming specific servers as friendly, informative, and professional, and one describing a birthday party of 24 accommodated with a dedicated section and buffet setup. A few visits register as merely average: one reviewer found the meal disappointing compared to meals eaten in India, another felt the spices and presentation could have been better, and a third called it just about average with no plan to return. Several reviewers mention returning for a second visit or travelling from other cities specifically for the food.

“Molly & Dylan were absolutely fantastic. We have never met anyone in the service industry who genuinely cares about their jobs like they do. They were incredibly friendly, informative, and just over all positive and bubbly. The food was absolutely delicious and we felt very welcome. Honestly, give these two a bonus, because they’re doing a fantastic job.”
