“ A real find. Excellent food, very pleasant and attentive staff, pleasant surroundings. My first visit was with friends and we enjoyed the meal so much we booked a return visit for the following week. In between, I took my son who was down for a visit. He's a curry freak and he thoroughly enjoyed his meal. They have dishes that I've never experienced before but star of the night were the best Bombay Potatoes I've ever tasted. Firm yet soft and tasty. And how about an Indulgent Mixed Gril that includes King Prawns. Highly recommended. ”
“ “I had a fantastic experience with this restaurant! The food was incredibly delicious — full of flavor and clearly made with care. What impressed me even more was the delivery service. The driver was right on time, super polite, and handled the food with care. Everything arrived hot and fresh. Great food, great service — I’ll definitely be ordering again!” ”
“ This is our local Indian restaurant which just happens to be where the best chicken tandori balti in any restaurant I have tried can be found. The folks working there are brilliant, they're friendly, polite and look good in black. The restaurant itself is a nice layout with quite a bit of space, but plenty of seating. It's not as well lit as I would like, but it's not too dark. It can and rightly does get very busy, try them and you'll see why. Looking forward to more top end noms from here soon. ”

“ We have had many take aways from here and recently visited in a group of 7 to dine in. The whole evening was absolutely perfect! The food was amazing, particularly the lamb which almost melted in the mouth and was plentiful. The service was also second to none. The staff are extremely friendly and efficient without being over intrusive. I can’t recommend highly enough! ”
“ Loved the food here it was tasty and reasonable on a banquet night. I ate there on a Weds and the service and staff were good. I will definitely eat here again. It cost around £30 a head for a large larger starter main and side plus little tip! ”
“ We had my dads birthday here recently with 24 of us coming along. The lovely Owner offered to help this go smoothly by taking advance food choices. This could not have gone better, the food was delicious, generous portions and the staff were incredible. Thank you for such a perfect evening! ”
