Bad bits - arrived just past 6 and ordered quickly but not food for 80 mins. Clearly focus on the takeaway and not the restaurant which is a shame. Lots of people waiting on food. Near the end of the meal a leak appeared in the roof above me which ended our meal early. No discount other than an apology and blaming a tenant next above.Good bits - food was great. Clearly a very popular place!

Nice tasty food and a fast friendly service. The best Indian restaurant we have been to in Henley.
James Atkinson
Food delivered 2 hours after ordering (we live less than 10 minutes away), dishes were barely warm by the time it got here and was missing one of the items ordered.Wouldn’t recommend delivering.

Fantastic food and very friendly staff. Probably the best Indian food we've ever had.Simply delicious.

Little worried that our server did not know what Gluten Free was, but he dutifully got the manager who knew all about it which reassured us. Food was tasty, service good and very good value for money. Cheap, cheerful and not too busy in the dining room but lots of deliveries going on.

First time trying this place.The service I found to be quite rude and abrupt, being made to feel like an inconvenience asking about different items on the menu, despite the restaurant being completely empty, makes me wonder why these guys are working in the hospitality industry!?Asking for a glass of water and being offered a half empty bottle of mineral water which had been taken off another customers’ table was laughable.Settled for the tap water in the end!However, the food was wonderful.The duck tikka and the lamb samosas were extremely well cooked, super tasty.But the lime pickle was like nothing I’ve tasted before - so incredibly incredible I can’t even describe how incredible it was.I think I’ll be slathering it on everything from now on!Despite the questionable service, and the coldness of the staff, I’ll be back to try other meals as the food was superb x

Food was nice enough, service some of the worst I've experienced.

Avoid ! If you don't fancy dysentry, repeated violent vomitting & 3 days of diarrhoea like other customer reviewers & I had immediately after eating here, I felt very ill & couldn't eat for 3 days afterwards, been feeling very fragile with very dodgy, unpredictable stomach & bowels, haven't been able to go anywhere or function as normal, not even down the road cos need to be near a toilet at all times for days after this & was washed out for 1st day, had to sleep loads to recover, constantly interrupted by the stomach upset ! The worst £79 I ever spent !I do not like this place for a number of other reasons too : my friends & I arrived in Henley on Thames on Tuesday evening 04 th July '23 & were hungry so looked up online for local takeaways, we found Chinese to be closed but 2 Indian restaurants stated they were open until 23:30 hrs so we spent some te parousung their menu & decided what we'd like & compiled a sizeable order on a notepad, we telephoned them & a man answered & said they'd closed before their advertised opening times, there's more ... so we made a snack meal instead, the next evening my friends wanted to go to this restaurant because they'd had their hearts set on it, we tried to locate the place using Google maps but couldn't find it, we passed some people sitting outside on a main street in Henley & 2 nice, helpful, friendly men said they know this restaurant, that it's their favourite, "the best in Henley" & regular customers there for 12 years! They advised we mention their names to get a discount &/or a free complimentary shot of Bailey's liqueur each, they directed us & we found it. ...

We had a fabulous meal here and the service was brilliant; we were well looked after by Raj. Highly recommend and would definitely go and eat here again.Kid-friendliness: We went to eat here for my daughter's birthday and we were all made to feel very welcome. There were 3 children aged between 9-14.
Don't like 4number reasons: friends & I came2 Henley Tue.eve 47, hungry, looked 4takeaways, 2 Indian said open -23:30hrs, we spent time parousung menu, decided what wanted, compiled order, phoned, man answered, said they'd closed b4 advertised opening times so next eve my friends wanted 2go2 here cos set hearts on, couldn't 2find by Google, passed people on street, 2helpful men knew it, their fav, best here & regular customers 4 12 years! Advised we mention their names 2get discount &/or free complimentary @Bailey's shot,directed, found, these lovely guys said they'd follow after anyway so d see in bit. Arrived, unusual front like house, 2 men said, no smile, unwelcoming:~ "What do you want?"! How rude ! "We've come 4a meal" they led us 2table right @back of long narrow empty restaurant, not 1single customer, only family, we friendly to them. My friend asked could we sit@front near window? They said yeah sit where you like. On set, layed tables, bottles of water, 1@table, we thought they're gratis as didn't ask 4water but if we had, we would've asked for a jug of tap water, that would've been what we wanted. We opened & poured the water in 3 glasses betwyus which finished the 70cl bottle. Only at the end in the bill, we'd been charged £3:50p for this +10%! I objected, we did not request this! He, the miserable , unfriendly owner / manager Raj said well you opened it, nothing is free! The nice men who we'd met earlier came in & they seated on the other side of the bar, we said they'd recommended them & guided us to them & said that we could get a complimentary drink or discount, the owner / manager said no nothing is free, we don't give anything as a thank you for your custom or their 12 years of custom, he said in face they charge them more ! I was beginning to get a not very good impression, I said to the manager Raj, why can't you smile ? We kept smiling at the staff & being very pleasant indeed, I said a smile doesn't hurt & it improves relationships, he agreed & cracked half a smile on one side of his mouth in a jokey reluctant manner. We placed our order & the food arrived, my 2 friends were happy with their meals I think, well one was anyway, I didn't like mine, it was nothing, not special, not tasty, just plain, below average. The Only good thing I can say about this place was the new member of staff they had who's only been with them about a day, over from Bangladesh as family friends to commute to study at University in London, he's called Asad, we are Christians & & we struck up a very interesting conversation with him as a Muslim about God, religion, faith, the Bible, Qua'an & the conditions of the World, etc. That was the only enjoyable factor, such a nice young man. When it got to about 10:15pm they started trying to clear our plates before we had finished & standing directly behind us waiting for us to finish which made me feel most uncomfortable, he said the porter was waiting to finish washing up, they'd only had us 5 customers or so all evening! Even though their website says they close @23:30, they were trying to get us out @22:15, I finished & handed my plate, he presented the unitemised bill, I like to see how it is tallied up, just the total of £71:60p, my friend suggested I add 10% tip so I paid £78:60p without knowing that was correct, we'd only had 5 pints of beer each at £4:50 / £4:95 & 3 mains, 2 rice, 1 nan & even the 3 single poppadoms with relishes weren't complimentary, they must've cost more than £4:00, most Indian restaurants I've ever been to, give a pile of popodoms & even top them up, they restrict it to 1 per head unless ask for more & charge. They are Very mean indeed ! V. Unfriendly, money grabbing. We agree placing water bottles on tables is sly, cunning trick 2mislead us it's given, we use & get charged unknowing, we don't think 2ask, is free ?! S
