Customer Review Summary

Lamb tikka biryani draws repeat praise as the standout, with several diners calling it the best curry in the area and returning regularly, some traveling a distance to do so. Close behind, lamb chops, chicken pasanda and a sag paneer with a coconut base earn strong marks, alongside naan bread described as fresh and fluffy, and a mixed starter singled out for its samosa. Portions are called generous and the food fresher and less oily than typical curry houses, though one reviewer flags a small pilau priced at five pounds as poor value, and another found a takeaway order of bhuna, methee and rogan josh lacking in flavour. Service is mostly described as welcoming and attentive, though one visit noted it was hit and miss during a busy evening. One reviewer recounts a waiter offering to remake a wrongly ordered curry free of charge, and another notes staff being understanding after a cancelled birthday booking due to illness.

    “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.”

    “Dined in for a change Friday 16/1/26 Food was unmistakable the best curry we've had. We shared 3 and all were great. Thank you.”
  • Ryan Sheppard
    “Best curry around. Excellent presentation and consistently high quality food – absolutely brilliant every time. The staff and owners are welcoming, friendly, and clearly care about the experience. We’ve been back plenty of times and it never disappoints. Highly recommended. Thank you”

    “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 …”
