UPDATE 2024Robbys has certainly turned themselves around, so much so that we go almost once every week. Great people great food, very authentic taste.Portions are a little smaller then they were but good value for moneyGreat to see this fine Indian restaurant back to its former glory WELL DONE.

It's another place that we haven't been to for a very long time, the fact they are still around tells me that they are doing something right.Parking isn't the easiest but allegedly the estate agent's car park opposite is OK to use.The first thing we noticed is that the staff are extremely friendly and helpful which makes such a difference.It's a smallish cosy restaurant, relatively plain decor and clean.The menu is instantly recognisable Bangladeshi, so unlike Indian, you'll have a good idea of what you are going to get when you order.I suggest you have a look at the fridge before you order your drinks as there are a few more options than on the menu.The food was very good from start to finish, this includes all the sides. It was hard to fault but being picky, the poppadoms that were only 'just in' and a hot dip to accompany them would have been nice, that said the onion salad, yoghurt and chutney servings were very generous.The sheekh kebab starter was tasty, but we prefer the meat to be more finely ground.The chicken tikka and chicken in both dishes was excellent and the curries were full of flavour.I noticed the desserts were reasonably priced but we were too full to try.At the end, the bill seemed very reasonable for what we had.

Absolutely disgusting food! Batli was just tomato puree. Chips had a vile dirty taste, can’t even put in words what they stunk of and tasted like. Doesn’t even deserve a star!! Worst food I’ve ever tasted in my life.

Didn't have a very good experience while dinning in today. We were 2 of us and because we didn't pre book the table. They gave us an hour to leave the table free, even before we orderedanything.Ordered, Naan, tandoori masala curry and lamb chops. Lamb chops were salty as sea water and too much food colour and returned it back. They gave us a fresh one which was okay. I wish I could put up a few pictures.At the end of it all I asked for a finger bowl for which the waiter giggled and got us a couple of wet tissues. Even though we asked for a couple more the food colour didn't go from our fingers.

Please be aware of this place. food is horrible, waiting time +2 hours. food not worth the money. bill came more expensive than prices on menu. added themselves 10% tip. portions small. refused to give me a receipt. Horrible horrible place, been to many indian places. this was the worst experience ever. Please be aware people.

Went in for a take away order for the first time. Nice little restaurant. I’d definitely dine in next time. Food was really nice. Very short waiting time for my order. Enjoyed the food.

Called to order a delivery. Asked to wait which I was happy to obliged . 3 Minutes later and listening to back ground conversations I decided to spend my money else where. This isn't the first time I've encountered problems with at one time was our go to Indian restaurant. Been dining at other local Indian restaurants and thought I'd give it another try. Food is excellent. Service is very poor! Again.

2 of us dined here last night. The food was very good and it was hot. However, the restaurant was freezing cold when we arrived so we kept our coats on til it warmed up a bit. (The table was booked in advance).We also felt slightly rushed as waiting staff tended to 'hover'. Towards the end of our meal, the heating was turned off so back on with our coats!I understand we all need to be careful with our heating but we did spend £66 in this restaurant.So, in summing up, although the food was good, the evening could have been much more comfortable.

Fabulous food great atmosphere and lovely attentive staff . Recommend to everyone Good value for money & good
Best Indian food in the area, always delicious and the staff is amazing. We are vegans and have always been able to have our orders modified to our dietary needs, so especially great for anyone on a special diet. Couldn't give Robby's enough praise

We were greeted by a very friendly welcome and satisfied by the generous servings of tasty curries. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

From the other reviews I expected great things but this was really not that great - raw garlic on a naan bread, the sheesh unbelievably salty and a compulsory service charge on a takeaway?

Very busy and packed a lot of tables into a small space. Friendly service and good food.
