“ Inphallible! Myself and my family visited here for Christmas Eve for something different. It was our first visit and after the meal we each said we'd visit again in a heartbeat! I had the butter chicken and my partner had the tikka masala, we tried a bit of each others to see which we preferred, and we both said the tikka masala (but just marginally, they were both absolutely delicious!) the naan breads are fantastic, also. The service was excellent, the staff couldn't do enough for you. They lose a point in atmosphere because the music kept stopping and jumping to the next track mid song. ”
“ This is the first time we’ve eaten from here and it was absolutely fantastic. The food was amazing and the portion sizes were also great. Looking forward to dining in next. Thank you very much. Highly recommend! ”
“ We visited as the recent reviews were so good and we're so pleased that we did! The atmosphere was great, the restaurant was full so we were pleased that we booked a table (for 8.30pm) in advance. Despite the restaurant being full, we were served quickly, and didn't have to wait for anything. The food was piping hot, we had generous portions and it was absolutely delicious, it was up there with the best Indian food we've ever tasted, highlights were the Chicken Dum Biriani and the Honey Chilli Naan. We will definitely be back!! ”
“ Went here with family last night and the food was amazing. The staff were very welcoming and really looked after us. The food was exceptional and the portion sizes were ample. I had one of the Gurkha mains and it was one of the best dishes I have ever had, simply delicious. We will definitely be back. ”
“ A top notch experience, the service is polite and very attentive, the dishes all cooked beautifully with quality lean meats and perfect accompaniments. Looking forward to another visit soon! My only minor feedback point was that their lighting was a little bright, the manager understood and appreciated the feedback, explained that they were solving this very soon with improved controls/dimmer switches. When that’s completed place will be practically perfect. ”
“ AMAZING I’ve never given 10/10 before but I will do for our Friday night delivery - Pickle Tray & Poppadoms, Chilli Naan, Chefs Special, Lamb Sagarmatha & Hariyali Tikka Starter..... All delicious and we only ate half of it, so tomorrow’s Saturday Night ‘Dine at home again’ is a bonus. I can’t fault it, and the price was great too! It was delivered within 15 mins as well.... Perfect, best we’ve ever had. ”
“ Had such a lovely meal this evening. The staff couldn’t have been any more polite and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, even giving us take out containers because we didn’t realise the mains would be huge. Highly recommend and will be visiting again. Thankyou! ”
“ Booked table for opening at half 5, was welcomed by all front of house staff and was served by adil. We went with our friends and he took our orders separate so when we got bill at end we didn’t have to work out who owed what which was easier. He brought our drinks and popadoms and 4 different dips within a few minutes and our starter came within 15 minutes. We had the mixed platter which was lovely. Our main came another 15 minutes after finishing our starter so service and speed was spot on. Iv seen before a red and green card and if you need anything put the card red side up if not leave it green side- that could be a good idea to try as especially as we was getting ready to go it got extremely busy which makes it hard to keep tabs on everyone. Only thing I did personally spot was as we was going there was a crowd of possibly 10 people waiting to be seated and I didn’t really spot any free tables, maybe give tables a time limit and say you’ve got to be gone in 2 hours or so to avoid anyone having to wait. Also seen a few come in asking for menus and if they was doing takeaways aswell as if we could bring your own beer so could do with just a few odd touches to make things clearer. Overall food and service was spot on and price was very reasonable I think, to say it’s only been open just under a week it did well tonight. Will definitely return and recommend! Thankyou adil! ”
