Food Quality

Pros:

• "Food was fantastic, the spicing was good and very generous portions."

Cons:

• "They charged for 4 main dishes and only gave us 3."
• "The mixed grill was burnt and dry."
• "The chicken sekuwa is exactly the same as the Blackhall takeaway - photo shows the volume of the flakes they add to this dish. The chicken was truly awful too."
• "momo dumplings were small (not juicy) and the mixed grill meats were completely overcooked and very dry."
• "The portion size is kids size btw."
• "The naan was cold and it looked like it was rewarm and not fresh, the curry 🍛 and chicken tikamasala was a bit sweet!"

Cons:

• "They took almost 40 minutes to serve two pints of beer."
• "It’s fair to say that none of us will go back, I believe their food is pretty good, it’s just a shame I can’t say the same of the way they treat customers."
• "We had a booking for seven people at 8PM to celebrate my wife's birthday (who is eight months pregnant). Disappointingly, the staff did not have our table allocated, despite having an email confirmation and a phone call that day."
• "We were kept waiting to be seated but because of this the staff gave us complimentary starters for the inconvenience."
