Food was fantastic but tables were to close together and one men's toilet to service a full restaurant wasn't good.

This was my first and last time finishing this establishment and not even on the basis that the food was that bad. Granted, the portions could have slighter bigger, but for 13.95 for happy hour, you cannot really complain. However, the attitude of the young male waiter was nothing less that poor and slightly awkward. After I asked what was on draft, he simply replied saying ‘na’ while chewing gum like a horse eating apples. Following this, I turned round to see him and his colleague both starting and talking about me, which was rather strange and uncomfortable considering I am paying customer. Unfortunately, I will never return. Food wasn’t amazing, decor is tired and toilets were minging, just like that young waiters attitude.

One of our all time favourite tandoori restaurants. Love the food and the service. We would be delighted to find the current sagging chair cushions replaced, please, as for the past many years the seat pads' filling/foam is worn, and when we sit down, we sink down into the chair seats, finding ourselves too low in relation to the tables.

Literally, without question the tastiest curry I have had in a long time, very high quality, great service it was packed when we arrived on a Sunday night.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options were excellent, the vegetable Buhna was incredible

The food and the staff are amazing and the menus are great value for money

Chris Wilkinson

The food was good at best, and it felt like we were shoehorned in even though we had a booking. Layout is not suited to create a good dining atmosphere. Won't be rushing back

Took advantage of Their Thurs night special menu.?. It was really lovely staff friendly and helpful. Disappointed they could not do a decafe coffee ☕ but good night. ?Dietary restrictions: Would have liked a decafe coffee ☕you only need small jar coffee and a kettle. ?

Visited on a recommendation, but was left really disappointed. Had booked table for 7pm, told on arrival that table not available yet. Asked to go to adjacent pub and come back in half an hour. We did, but still didn't get seated until almost 8pm. Another couple had a table booked for 6.30pm and left at 7.45 with their food as a takeaway instead.Food was awful apart from Peshwari Naan which was good. My aloo starter was sent back to the kitchen (cold, sliced boiled potatoes), Was brought back to me and told "that's how it comes". Didn't eat it.Staff asked how starter was, told them 'awful', shrugged and walked off. When it came time to pay we were asked if the meal had been OK. We explained it hadn't, but just had the contactless machine wordlessly offered to us for the full amount. Manager caught us outside and gave us £5 cash but too little too late.Maybe a bad night at the office for this restaurant, but we're reluctant to give them a second chance, it was so poor.
