Atmosphere & Decor

Pros:

• "Overall it is a great place, you feel relaxed and welcome and it has a nice atmosphere."
• "The atmosphere was okay, bit loud. Only thing that annoyed me was lack of parking, which is worse when it's raining."
• "Atmosphere is nice and relaxed. Food is tasty especially the lamb chops and chicken masala."
• "The decor and atmosphere are brilliant and I haven't had a problem with the service as of yet."

Cons:

• "Don't like the decor and tables/chairs look a little tatty."
• "Needs some renovating, we got a booth downstairs which was quite cramped, but the decor wasn’t great."
• "The decor is very outdated and I felt unclean around the booth we sat at, it was very packed out and this was on a Tuesday."
• "Hello Akbars I love coming here but PLEASE fix your decor. I said this to one of the staff members when it was in lockdown you should have revamped."
