Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the curries as the standout, with one reviewer calling the saag the best they've had anywhere, and others praising the overall curry selection as among the best in the area. Service draws consistent praise too, with waiters described as attentive and unrushed, checking in between courses rather than pushing diners through, and one server in particular remembered for making a meal comfortable and enjoyable. Groups, including a work party of fifteen near Blythe Business Park, report positive experiences worth repeating regularly, and value comes up as well, with one couple noting a reasonable bill including prosecco. Against this, a couple of complaints stand out: one reviewer felt a recent takeaway order wasn't worth the price paid compared to past visits, and another describes a large group leaving a gold necklace behind, with the restaurant reportedly denying having seen it and offering no help resolving it. Most accounts, though, end with diners saying they'll be returning.

“Ive been to this restaurant several times for a quick meal to take home and haven't had a problem. However this last time helped me decide not to ever come back to this place. We got the food home and felt like the price we paid wasn't …”

“The best curry house I have ever been to by far. The service was absolutely impeccable, all the waiters were very attentive and made sure our visit was perfect. The food was absolutely stunning and we were asked if we would like our main when our starters were finished instead of being rushed. The price was very reasonable and we paid around 85 pound for the two of us with a bottle of prosseco included! We left very happy and full and I will certainly be telling people about this little hidden gem and will definitely be going back next time I’m going for a curry.”
- Shelley Brettle
“Most lovely place and staff. But the food was absolutely incredible. It was the best Saag I have ever had and have been to lots of places. It was sensational. 2nd time having their food and it was as good as the first! Super amazing staff too. Very attentive and kind. I'll be back here constantly now.”
