Our first visit to this restaurant and we want to say ..... WOW the food was superb and truly divine. ?. The food was delicately spiced and was head and shoulders above other establishments in retford.

Absolutely love this place! The food and staff are incredible. Always recommend great things. I've put a 4 for atmosphere as it was a quiet weekday... but its generally buzzing at the weekend.

We’ve returned to this hotel after our last great visit. Always feel comfortable and made welcome by everyone. The hotel room is clean, comfortable and great for a night away. Went into the Indian Restaurant tonight and again very nice. Presentation, food complimentary to the surroundings. Fully recommend this place :)

We booked an overnight stay in the 'hotel' and a meal. The staff at reception were indifferent. We were given diections to our room, which was in an annexe across from the car-park - clean and basic, noisy and tacky and not as advertised (rooms on website look surprisingly nice). Too tired to complain. The mattresses were comfortable - the head-boards would look more appropriate in a skip. You cannot move without making a noise - nor can the people in the room next door (think toilet noises and floorboards). Would Not stay here again - cheap (not for the price) and exploitative. Book a room in an hotel - stay in a 'dorm'. The meal (2/10). The waitress was lovely and the other staff friendly and helpful. The restaurant looks fantastic and is comfortable and clean. The restaurant really doesn't cater for plant-based people - with a very limited menu. We asked if a dhal could be made vegan (not difficult) and, after a little hesitation, our server said yes. The pappadoms were very good 10/10 but the generic dips 5/10. Two dhals and a sambhar arrived - nicely served. Rice was perfect and chapptis adequate. The dhal and sambhar had hardly any flavour - the dhal more like tinned lentil soup - not one of the good tinned lentil soups - it hadn't been tempered or spiced in any way (could have used oil rather than ghee). Not repugnant, but not enjoyable. I couldn't tell you what the sambhar was - few bits of veg in food colouring. Of course the staff asked if the food was okay and we said 'yes' - what would be the point of complaining? Please - if you have to eat here - check your bill. We were charged £22 for a £13 bottle of wine. Too tired to complain... £59 pounds worth of dissappointment. And then, after dinner, across the car-park to the dorm...

Booked to have an Indian meal after a nice meal in the bar the previous day. We sat down at 19.20 and ordered about 20-25 minutes later. The starter eventually arrived which was not very hot but edible. We waited and waited till 20.45 when we asked when we were likely to get the main meal. The reply was 5 mins. We had to be elsewhere so we said put it in a doggy bag. We paid the £58 bill and left with the doggy bag. Not a good experience and we will never return.

Had a great meal out. A great place to have both Indian and English meals.

Just come back from having dinner. What a great restaurant. Firstly being a powerchair user the place needed to be accessible, it is a ramp up to the front door of the building (only drawback is the front doors open outwards) the same applies to the restaurant, but the staff where more than helpful, this continued throughout the time we spent there. OK. The food, absolutely excellent food, My wife had chicken tikka with pielow rice and a pashwari nan bread. I had a mixed (chicken and lamb biryani) which wasn't on the original menu and a lamb keema nan bread. The first thing I noticed was the portions were big, I've been eating biryiani for years but this one I couldn't finish, the best I've had. We had poppadoms as a starter with a selection or prickles, one coffee and a lemon and lime brink. Total cost £44.24. We will definitely be going again and if you like indian quisene I would recommend you try it and form your own opinions.
