Customer Review Summary

Most reviewers point to the Monday and Wednesday buffet, described as great value, as the main draw. Diners list starters such as poppadums with a chutney tray, prawn puri, butty kebab and shami kebab, followed by mains like prawn dansak, lamb dansak and prawn makhani. Close behind is the takeaway and delivery side, where reviewers describe food arriving hot and full of flavour, lovely portion sizes and plenty of meat in the curry, with polite delivery staff. Several praise the team's willingness to make any dish vegan, and one reviewer singles out a coffee floater. The recurring complaint is speed. One diner waited over an hour for their meal and found the drink they wanted out of stock, and another says delivery on busy days can stretch past two hours, though the restaurant is very apologetic when waits run long. A separate reviewer says a problem with an order was sorted out by the team. Several finish by mentioning a complimentary drink at the end of the meal, with sambuca or baileys shots offered.

    “Wow, this place is not only incredibly delicious, but having a team that says - we will make any dish you want vegan, goes to show the lengths they’ll go to for dietary needs. Definitely book or order in advance because this place gets busy!! Incredible flavours, excellent value and impressive service. Thank you! 🙏”

    “Not very impressed with this restaurant whilst the food was of an ok quality the speed of the service was extremely slow, was over an hour before we eventually got to eat our meal and no stock on the drink I wanted purely because they had not ordered it. 1”

    “Amazing food cooked to the highest standard, everything from the pakorah to the special massala special curry was out of this world. Drinks choice very good and a nice complementary drink as we finished our meal. Delivery service from here is also very efficient, and delivery staff are always well presented and polite. The Monday and Wednesday Night Banquet is amazing and extremely good value, Best restaurant in the area by far..”
