Having booked, upon arrival we discovered that the restaurant had lost its alcohol licence. They failed to mention this to us ahead of our visit. We were expected to go out and purchase our own which was not reasonable as we all wanted different drinks. We felt deceived and opted to go elsewhere. We will not be returning.

This restaurant is just off the main High Street and was easy to find. We found the staff to be very welcoming and friendly when we arrived and shown to our table on a Friday evening. We had brought our own bottles of beer to enjoy with our meal and they happily opened the bottles and provided us with beer glasses. We ordered poppadoms with pickle and chutney tray and were impressed with the choice of 6 dips to choose from. We didn’t have to wait long for our mains to arrive which consisted of pilau and mushroom rice, a chicken jalfrezi and a madras, 1 peshwari naan and a saag aloo side dish. These were expertly spiced, flavourful, piping hot and absolutely delicious. Perfect! The portion sizes were really generous so we asked for cartons to take what we couldn’t finish home, rather than waste it, which the waiters were happy to help with. The price of our delicious Indian culinary delight was extremely reasonable too and we were pleasantly surprised when the bill arrived. If you appreciate good service and delicious food with the perfect amount of spice …then this place is definitely for you!

Excellent food, excellent service, I will come back again. It is one of my best meals ever. All of my friends are so happy as well.

If you want to incinerate your taste palate and have a side dish of awful customer service, congratulations, you've found your venue! APPALLING customer service. When we made the staff aware that the food (from the mild section of the menu) was completely inedible due to the spice level, they didn't believe us. They proceeded to put us on trial and ask other people in the restaurant, customers/delivery drivers, to taste the food to see if we were lying... Yes I'm not joking, this did actually happen. The presumed manager only refunded us for one dish (we complained about 4 of the 9 main course dishes we ordered) which was very disappointing. Meanwhile the chief food taster/delivery driver verbally abused us and ushered us out of the restaurant. The initial smell of the curry on the walk home was the highlight of the meal. Good luck! *Also reviewed on google*

DO NOT waste your money! We had a takeaway for 10 people for my dads 60th Birthday and had an awful experience. The food was inedible as every dish was far spicier than ever experienced. I returned to the restaurant to explain our disappointment, to wish I was verbally abused by a member of staff (apparently a delivery driver). The other members of staff said nothing and allowed her to shout and patronise me. She then followed us out of the restaurant and would not leave us alone. I have never had an experience like it and would not want anyone else to go through the same. Other members of staff should have stepped in, but they did nothing. Terrible place - do not go!

We decided to try this restaurant because we were able to take our own alcohol. On entering we were pleasantly surprised that what looked like a couple of tables near the counter, turned into a much bigger room round the corner. In fact the building is actually three hundred years old and full of character. We chose a meat/fish thali to be able to sample more dishes that the restaurant had to offer. A vegetarian thali is also available. The food was excellent and very plentiful for a more than reasonable price. The thali also included a starter dish and the variety of meat available was fabulous. I cannot praise Fonzie any more highly. He looked after us well and even substituted one of my dishes - I do not eat prawns. Fonzie described in detail what the thali consisted of and was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. We also got to meet the chef on the way out and we’re able to compliment him on his excellent food. If you like Indian food, I really do recommend you try this restaurant.

The food seemed pretty good but I am still very mad about the service. One of the staff convinced me to get double orders of 2 of the dishes I was ordering saying they were "small.". I was very clear that it was only me and that I didn't want too much food but I took his advice. When I picked up the order it was so much volume of food that I had to throw 2/3 of it away since I was traveling and at a hotel (like most people who come there). It was enough food for 3 people and probably $12 worth straight in the garbage. I guess the staff just wanted the extra money. That sucks if you ask me......

We only had takeaway but personally my best curry. Am quite fussy with heat and asked for medium and perfect. Would recommend the KFC Naan which is like a pizza on its own..

Been here a few times now and the food is incredible, the meat is good quality and plentiful - everything always tastes fresh.

We ordered a take away and must admit was a bit surprised when thet said it would be ready in 20 minutes. Got it home and it looked strange, very dark colour Jalfrezi and Chana. Also ordered what they called "Favourite" and mushroom bhaji. The whole meal was totally inedible, we took a few mouthful and threw the rest in the bin. The jalfrezi was the worst my wife has ever tastes and the chana was cooked with something too sweet, possibly yoghurt. The "favourite was extremely spicy hot and totally devoid of taste. And now the last item, the mushroom bhaji. I did see a few pieces of mushroom in the container, the rest looked like a mish mash of slops left over from the night before. BE WARNED........THIS IS AN EXTREMELY POOR EXCUSE FOR AN INDIAN RESTAURANT.

Lovely food, huge portions, massive prawns and friendly service. They have lost their drinks licence and offer overpriced soft cocktails, but the food makes up for that. Best to get tanked up first in the Black Bear just down the road first!

A firm favourite with my friends and I, our go to place for take away / delivery. We have ordered from spice rooms on multiple occasions, always great food.
