Probably our 6th visit to date:Table for 2. Busy night, service was very good. Value for money. Can’t fault the food at all……..BUT….. when we’re actually eating our meals we don’t want the waiter ( sounded like he had a Geordie accent) standing at the table rabbiting on about his 6 daughters, who are a blessing from Allah as they can bear children, and how life on earth is just a stage in the process of life, and when you die is when life begins ( paraphrasing )I just want to have a meal and enjoy my night without a Muslim sermon.

The food here was absolutely amazing!I'm not one for spicy food but I wanted to try another curry... luckily there was a young staff memeber near me who kindly helped me by explaining what were the mild ones and what were the spicy ones. They also do chicken nuggets in here and I alway have to have some whenever I visit this place because they are just the best! They also do do a big bowl of naan bread cut up into big bits and they are always done just right.They do puddings but I only have that now and then, they sell alcohol as well as soft drinks and the staff are always so kind when we go in there as well.They have recently had a bit of a revamp and the colour of the walls is beautiful with the big mirrors inside.This place is disabled friendly as well as family friendly.Keep up the good work ?

Abysmal. After a few Sunday buffets always at least 70% of it is empty, and searching for any meat within the main courses is often like Mission Impossible, but of course they still want their full £15 at the end. Stingy cheap-skates that take the full urine. AVOiD!!!!!!!!!!Oh, and the popadoms were stale and the chicken wings were gross ?

It's not rocket science but when paying and seated for a meal its the whole package. This place misses on so many levels. The Curry Club.

Absolute banging curries.cant beat the essence, best curries around, best service around.
Poor service, average food and rude, insulting staff. Couldn't seem to cope with a large group of 10 although there were other similar size groups there. Orders got mixed up and my meal which was a Chef Recommendation Murghi Badami was so extremely sweet it was almost unedible, cashews were burnt black and took more than 5 mins for the rice to be delivered to the table. Staff 'banter' was light hearted to start but ended up being rude and quite offensive. None of the group will be going there again.

Went for the Sunday buffet, seemed to have a good range of starters and mains, nothing that was particularly spicy though. Found the chicken in most of the dishes was very dry. Found that dishes weren’t topped up very often, so didn’t taste very fresh, and not much meat left.Personally think there are better places available locally that offer a buffet on a Sunday.
