Customer Review Summary
Diners single out the lamb tikka biryani and lamb chops as standouts, with many praising the fresh, light naan and generous portions that taste less oily than average. The sag paneer with a coconut base and the mixed starter’s samosa also earn repeated mention for quality. Several describe the food as consistently excellent, with attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere. A few note inconsistencies in service pace and temperature control, and one reviewer calls out the small pilau rice as overpriced and lower quality than the rest. One diner reports a free replacement offered after an incorrect order.

“Superb lamb tikka biryani, fresh, light and fluffy naan bread, hands down the best by far in the Wiltshire area, we travel from Royal Wootton Bassett to come here once a month. You wont regret it!”

“Excellent main courses (we had lamb chops and chicken pasanda) and pretty generous portions as you'd hope from a good curry house. It all tasted very fresh and less oily than your average. Certainly a cut above. Service was a bit hit and miss across the evening but it was busy. We had a couple of lovely vegetarian sides in leu of a main and they were just as good, one of the best sag paneer ever had with a nice coconut base. The naan breads were very nice and very nice. Modern decor. But hit and cold spots due to AC fan heating. Now this place is generally v good, but some negatives. £5 seems outrageous for a small pilau that seemed of completely different quality to the rest of the food. And I d like the gents to be better, but again probably better than in your average curry house. All in all much better than an average provincial village indian. Would return.”

“We had a lovely evening celebrating a friend’s 16th birthday party. The restaurant staff were attentive and our waiter, Ray, was very kind. When I accidentally ordered the wrong curry, he offered to make another free of charge. He also took …”

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.
