Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out the chicken tikka masala and lamb bhuna as standouts, alongside starters like onion bhajis and Bombay potatoes that one reviewer says "blew my head off." Staff draw consistent praise for checking on tables, boxing up leftovers, and even walking guests through the kitchen, with one coeliac diner noting she was told exactly what she could and couldn't eat and steered toward the lamb chops and lamb bhuna. Portions are called generous, prices reasonable, and the atmosphere bright and welcoming, with free parking noted more than once. One dissenting reviewer, however, describes hard rice, a bland korma, tough naan, and a greasy chicken chaat, a sharp contrast to the rest. Several call it their go-to Indian, and one review recounts a birthday visit where the waiter steered the order toward a milder dish after the diner's mother raised concerns about spice level.

  • Ashleigh Maguire
    wouldn’t recommend at all. Gave the place a go as seen all good reviews, very disappointing. Rice was hard, Korma had no taste at all bland as anything, nann bread hard couldn’t even chewy it, and the “chicken chatt” wasn’t in no way what so ever a chicken chick, was a tub full of grease.
  • Joe Murl
    Never had a bad meal here. Usually use the take-away service but it’s definitely the best Indian food in the area
  • Hiwa Warmington
    OH MY, was it great there! Went there for a bday party, the servers recommanded me a milder dish than what i was gonna order, cause my mother kept on making sure if i wanted a very spicy dish and in the end i decided not too and the waiter …
  • Isabelle Lockett
    We ate at Goa for a family Christmas Eve meal and all really enjoyed our meals. The food was beautiful, the staff were friendly and the owner gave us some fabulous recommendation that definitely didn’t disappoint. I have coeliac disease so eating out is often nerve wracking but I was put at ease, told what I could and couldn’t have and was recommended the lamb chops for starters and a lamb Bhuna with boiled rice for my main. It was all so delicious!
  • Vicki Horsfield
    This is our go to Indian and we will not go anywhere else! The food is outstanding and the staff cannot do enough for you. We came tonight (NYE) and despite it being very busy, the food was the best we’ve had and the waiters made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. If you’ve not tried this place yet, why?!
