Customer Review Summary
Reviewers mostly describe old-school, traditional curry, with one praising it for avoiding fancy fine-dining trends and noting a dish arrived with carved veg on top. Most call the food delicious or exceptional, and friendly, helpful staff come up almost as often. Several are regulars: one family has come for over 30 years, a pair makes an event of dinner after a film, and another reviewer says they stopped trying other Indian restaurants in the area. A birthday dinner and a set menu offer running all seven days are also mentioned. One dissenting reviewer found the meal far from fresh, saying the sheesh kebab in the tandoori mixed grill tasted like frozen meat, the tawa lamb and roshuni chicken came as small, paste-like pieces, and most dishes were mild despite a request for spicy food. Only the naga lamb was acceptable, thanks to its heat, and a peshwari naan arrived plain and had to be replaced.
