Value for Money

Pros:

• "It can be a little pricy, but it's well worth it."
• "The food again as always beautiful and great value for money. Four courses for £10.95 amazing."
• "Very happy diners especially when the very reasonable bill came."
• "Always a great meal here, great service and a very pleasant atmosphere."
• "The location was great and the staff were quite accommodating, you really get your money's worth there with nice sized portions."
• "Had a beautiful takeaway the other night and it was awesome, curry not too spicy and the chicken melted in your mouth, rice fluffy and naan was fantastic."
• "The taste of the food was quite authentic and quantity wise it is quite good, a perfect value for money restaurant."

Cons:

• "It was good but but not £80 good."
• "The foods are in very small portion but very expensive."
• "Bill arrived and we were charged for EVERYTHING although I only are a spoonful of my main meal."
• "The price for the food is way too high for the quality provided."
• "£6 extra to have your chicken served tikka? Disgraceful pricing, a whole cooked chicken can be bought for less, you need a reality check."
• "When they have the audacity to charge £60 for a takeaway for one starter and 3 main courses then it's time to shop elsewhere."

• "The most cramped restaurant I've been to."
• "Actually felt like we were an early arriving inconvenience."
