Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the delivery speed and heat of the food, with several noting orders arriving early or piping hot. The lamb bhuna and chicken tikka masala are singled out as standouts, with reviewers describing them as delicious and full of proper flavour. Close behind, many highlight the knowledgeable and friendly staff, calling the service top tier and fast. A recurring complaint centres on long waits, with some reporting orders taking over two hours and arriving bland or in greasy, torn bags that spilled. One diner also notes the rice portions as unusually small. Several suggest the restaurant as their go-to for both takeaway and dine-in.

Location
How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
