Customer Review Summary
The Mixed Grill for 2 starter draws repeated praise, with reviewers also singling out the lamb bhuna, prawn dopiaza, garlic naan and the vegetarian starter for two as generous and reasonably priced. Several note the bring your own alcohol setup adds value since soft drinks are still available, and many describe the staff as accommodating, even packing up leftovers or sorting a bottle for a young child. Service and food are repeatedly called good and reasonably priced, with one long time customer saying they can never fault the order. That said, complaints do surface: one reviewer's Rogan Josh arrived bland and watery with barely any sauce, another was served brown rice instead of pilau and found the tandoori meat deep fried rather than grilled with oily bhajis, and a separate delivery order took over two hours to arrive with a bland sauce and a "pickle tray" that was just a small tub of mango. Despite these, most reviewers describe returning repeatedly and recommend booking ahead for busier dining-in nights.

“Food took over 2 hours to arrive, sauce bland and watery, 'pickle tray' was a small tub of mango, most went in the bin, waste of £20.”
- Alex Grainger
“An ideal place for a family meal, date night or meal out with friends. Bring your own alcohol but soft drinks are available for purchase.”
- Richard Cowlishaw
“Ordered Rogan Josh online. Couldn't tell it was a curry. Hardly any flavour or sauce, just rammed with peppers. Basically chicken in a poor gravey. Very disappointed.”
- Ben
“One of my favourite restaurants. Food is always tasty and hot, staff are great and prices are spot on. I like the fact it is being your own alcohol and you can always have soft drinks from the restaurant if you're not drinking. The vegetarian starter for two is awesome for price and really filling. If you can't eat all your meal ask the staff to pack up for you to take home they are very accommodating and happy to help. Recommend booking if dining in as can get busy on certain days but I have never had an issue.”
- Frankie Hague
“Everything is absolutely spot on. We’ve been ordering for these for a few years and I can never fault a single thing. Best Indian food in the area without a doubt!”
