Unfortunately, our regular Indian takeaway is closed on a Tuesday so we ordered our food from here instead . We ordered Chicken Shashlik x 2, Cauliflower Bhaji, and Naan bread.Firstly, we are within walking distance of the restaurant and could have walked to collect, but both being at work decided to have delivery instead . Given the distance all of the food was lukewarm at best and needed to be microwaved and the Naan bread was cold. The least of its issues.So to the cost and equality.Let’s start with the Naan! This was, and I’m being honest here, the smallest Naan bread I have ever had in my whole life. The reason we only ordered one is that usually, from everywhere else, they are too big and enough to share. This one was thin, cold, and so small it was barely bigger than the small Cauliflower Bhaji takeout tray. Hopefully I can post photos with this review for comparison.So on to the Cauliflower Bhaji! Where to start? Small.Cold.Watery.Flavourless!The cauliflower was either overcooked, to within an inch of its life, or was made from leftovers from the day before, or possibly even the day before that. Very small portion size and as stated above, cold, watery and flavourless.Chicken Shashlik.The price for this was either £9.15 or £9.95, the menu doesn’t make it clear and I thought I heard the latter on the phone. Either way a rip off! Each tray contained 7 “small’ pieces of chicken in each, but lots of onion, one tomato and one piece of green pepper, not in both portions, to bulk it out to look more! Woohoo!!This was easily the worst Chicken Shashlik we have ever had for portion size, and I was so disappointed when I opened the boxes that I rang the restaurant to complain. To be honest they couldn’t care less. Hence this review, as I promised them.The Shashlik, as stated before, was lukewarm and needed to be reheated. And considering it comes served with mint sauce and salad dressing when ordered as a single portion, you would expect to get two of each when ordering two portions, however ,this was not the case and we only got one mint sauce and one salad bag. This may only be a small thing but the principle of getting what you order, and expect to be delivered, is the issue here. And also value for money. Which at £27 for the items ordered, this isn’t!I’m pretty sure that I don’t need to add a summary here as this can be gleaned from my comments. But, for those that need any clarity, I wouldn’t recommend eating here, in or out, and definitely wouldn’t recommend ordering a takeaway from them.There are plenty of other Indian restaurants in Welwyn Garden City, that put quality of food, value for money and customer service ahead of this one, so I would search those out, save your money and avoid the disappointment of this one.

I do not like writing bad reviews so will be as objective as possible.The food came on time and we were giving a discount code so off to a good start.The naans were cold but food good temperature.Meat samosas didn’t have much filling or taste. Could have been anything or nothing inside them.Lamb bhuna was very oily and onion heavy with the oil over powering any real taste.Chicken tikka was flavourless and dry with only a hint of coconut.Honestly will not be ordering again.
excuse me
I've been to some Indian restaurants in my time but this is by far the best my wife and I have been to yesterday, the food, service and atmosphere absolutely perfect, I recommend this restaurant to

Best mint yoghurt in the UK ? Food is always outstanding. Can't fault the food or the service

I have come here several times and found them good. I think this the second takeaway since the lockdown I've had. I noticed the price hike but as their special biriyani is actually very good (their food generally is) but it seems they have got in the habit of putting poor food in the takeaways. For about £4, I found 3 dry and tiny - smaller than golf balls - sized onion bajis for that part of the order. And of course having trust, you only find this when you get home. Price hike plus poor service = go elsewhere.

Nice atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff and the food was top draw, we all had starters followed by some delicious main courses. Good range of drinks. was nice and busy which is always a good sign too. Will be back again soon

My goto local Curry house, this place has lots of charm, authenticity and friendliness whilst isn’t contrived or fake. If you do visit, get the Shahi Bahar dish, it’s amazing!

Nice meal and great service but it was a bit chilly in the restaurant
