Cons:

• "We had the Jackfruit burger as it was the only vegan main dish on the menu and we were looking forward to taste it for the first time."

• "Visited today with my Mum for Sunday Dinner and we loved it! The food portions are very generous, yet they do not leave you feeling heavy once you've eaten."
• "Absolutely amazing Sunday roast! Great sides, and generous portions. I especially loved the Ox tail croquettes."
• "Fantastic quirky venue utilising railway arches as venue space consisting of two arches ambient lighting and displays of local art and photography on the walls, real good honest west Indian food based menus.. really warm friendly staff and amazing customer focused door supervisors that made us feel very welcome and at the same time you could see they were professionals!.. have returned again and again!"

Cons:

• "We trusted them to calculate the split bill accurately, but unfortunately they over charged our table, so they will not be seeing me in there again."
• "The staff were lovely but very very very slow."
• "We told the staff and although they acknowledged that it wasn’t mentioned on the menu, there was nothing they could do. Like sorry but not sorry."
• "Waiter was lovely, and staff were nice, however took forever to retrieve the bill."
• "The staff were unfriendly and aloof."
• "Staff under him very kind, himself very rude and ended up souring our party."
• "Lots of mistakes made by all the staff in some way or another, we had about 5 different people serve us in some way across our visit so we didn’t really feel cared for"
• "Be careful when in large groups. We ordered 2 rounds of shots they charged my friend (we have the receipt on monzo) , then another person ordered another round paid for that and he kept saying it was for the previous rounds."
