Food Quality
Pros:
"The meat is tender. The sauces were tastier than usual high street restaurant with take away services."
"The chicken curry was 10/10 lovely taste."
"The food is Excellent, good portions and the atmosphere is great."
"Hot, tasty fresh and just cooked. Depth of flavour immensely satisfying."

"The flavors were wonderful and the lamb very tender."
"The food was fantastic and the staff were friendly and helpful."
Cons:
"Quality of food was poor - veg pakora just chickpea flour and no veg at all (maybe wee bits of onion) - lamb madras - 4 quite small pieces of lamb (very tender)."
"Garlic chilli veg could be avoided, found lots of sugar in it."
"Was disappointed that korma was very bland not just mild but pretty tasteless."
"Chicken must have been cooked several days ago, it was hard and dry."
"Tandoori chicken swimming in oil and not like the tandoori chicken that was served prior to refurbishment."
"The three dishes we ordered were prepared by same flat and stale puree and boiled meat."
"Quite a disappointing delivery service, delivered on time but both of the curries were more like gravies thickened with starch."

"Service was shocking - so impolite and unprofessional."
"The service in this restaurant was the worst I've experienced."

Atmosphere & Decor
Pros:
"One of the best places in the Falkirk area for Indian cuisine."
"Great Indian restaurant with some of the best curries around."
"Fantastic Indian restaurant that’s stood the test of time."
"It's definitely the place to go for really good, freshly cooked Indian food."
"Very nice looking restaurant, food came nice and quick and the staff very friendly."
"This is one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever eaten in. The food is simply amazing!"
"Recent refurb is very classy."
Cons:
"The only thing that made me 4 star rather than 5 was the decor. Ceiling tiles were falling down it didn't give a great impression."
"The new decor looks great but just isn't practical. Tables are far too small and it makes it difficult to place all the food down. The new chairs are also very uncomfortable after about 20 minutes with poor back support."
"The decor is aging a bit and might need a little boost but post-pandemic it won't be a priority!"
"Actually feel sad to say this but I travel long way to eat here, first time coming since been done up and it's really nice apart from the steamy windows kind of put me off a bit."
"The acoustics are dreadful, far too noisy especially as this is a family-friendly, and by that I mean baby-friendly, dining area."
"Menu has been cut back and can't get mixed grill anymore which was very disappointing."
"I've always felt the portions of rice are not adequate for the curries."
Value
Pros:
"The 3 course lunch with drinks for two at only just under £20. Highly recommended."
"Very affordable too."
"Very reasonably priced to sit in."
"Excellent restaurant with superb prices for lunch and expansive range of choices."
"The lunch for the 3 of us came to £21 which is astounding and the food was tasty and plentiful."
"3 course lunch only £7.99. Great value for big helpings of their usual delicious food."
"The best part? It's a 5 star dine at reasonable cost!"
Cons:
"Now at that price I want everything perfect."
"Far too expensive for what it is."
"Limited menu & bit pricey (as compared to other Indian restaurants)."
"When I spend over 40 quid on a delivery I expect the food to be reasonably hot, not so cold that the starters were not edible."
"The menu has everything priced separately, which made this a pricier dinner than it needed to be."
"Got a tandoori main course last night and it was for £14.50 terrible. Two bits of old dry chicken legs with little meat."
"Unfortunately the portion size was a bit on the small side! so only 6 out of 10 for portion size."
