Meal with friends was lovely food excellent service very attentive and a nice vibe to a super restaurantParking: There's parking outside or if no spaces in the pub next door, but we've never had a parking issue.

Come here tonight with a few friends - couldn't recommend the place enough. Food was top notch and the service was extremely personable.

Can’t rate atmosphere as we had a takeaway. The food arrived tepid and almost an hour later too. When it arrived, my family member found an unknown specimen in their rice. Unsure as to what it is but the picture will show. It could be edible, but we didn’t want to risk it. It’s a shame, I’ve heard good things about this place.EDIT: We also ordered two pieces of naan bread, which didn’t arrive at all.

Had a delightful meal here tonight (Mar 2024). My starter, sweet ‘n’ spicy chilli chicken was sublime. Never had anything like it before. Crisp batter & moist chicken, gorgeous flavour, topped with sesame seeds. Beautiful garlic naan, rice & chicken tikka masala. Met with owner who was lovely. It’s changed hands & menu has some real gems plus traditional dishes. Thoroughly recommend them & thanks to the lovely staff who were so attentive. 5 stars all round.

Both dishes were so rich in flavor! ?We loved all of the curries we tried, on the milder spectrum the Mango Korma was lush and the butter chicken was lovely and creamy but both dishes had flavor most importantly.On a spicier note the Chicken Nargis and the Rajasthani Lamb Curry were both insane, both dishes were ridiculously good! The lamb curry just topped it, the lamb was so tender, honestly it was cooked perfectly.This is an absolute must visit! ?

We've always had positive experiences when dining here. The food is top quality, all cooked really fresh. The staff are lovely and very attentive. The restaurant is quieter in the week but has a lovely, bustling feel on the weekend. The prices reflect the quality of the food.

Delicious food we had a table of 21 guest and everyone enjoyed it very tasty curry value for money and staff are helpful and friendly. Definitely will be returning.
It was a busy Friday night and we were back in Wales visiting family, arrived late and they fitted us in without booking. Food was really nice and with Kingfisher on draft I was one very happy weary traveller! We all liked seeing things on the menu that were slightly different to the traditional CTM etc. I would recommend, building inside and out is a bit dated, but food and very attentive and polite team made up for this. Will defo visit again.

We had a lovely girls curry night, we were tempted to have starters but we stuck to poppadom's and dips as we didn't want to spoil out main meal. The food was lovely and the staff so friendly and helpful.

Takeaway - promised it would be an hour to deliver but 2 1/2 hours later it finally arrived despite numerous calls. It is a busy time of year but being honest about the wait time would be better customer service
