Food Quality and Taste

Pros:

  • "Absolutely brilliant dinner. One of the best Indian restaurants we have ever been to."
  • "The food is just fantastic. Delicious naan breads."
  • "BEST Indian food I’ve ever had in the UK, probably made it top 3 in my life."
  • "Food is absolutely amazing. Flavours are great, rice cooked perfectly, great naan, good level of heat."
  • "Staff extremely nice and professional, food beautifully tasting - Fresh, aromatic, properly cooked and nicely presented."
  • "The best Indian restaurant that I’ve ever been to!! Totally worth a try! King prawns are juicy, big and delicious."
  • "The food was good but not WOW as other reviews have suggested, though it's worth noting I'm not a curry connossieur."
  • "Absolutely FANTASTIC food and service! Without doubt, the best curries my husband and I have tasted in a long time."

Cons:

  • "The food was good but not WOW as other reviews have suggested, though it's worth noting I'm not a curry connossieur."
  • "The food was plate-lickingly good (though we managed to withhold ourselves from doing so)."
  • "Food tasted great, staff was friendly. They let us try a papadum for free when we asked what it was."
  • "Food arrived promptly, but we had an item missing from our order."
  • "£30 Food arrived little warm & 20min late than described (1hr5min instead of 45min), distance 5min drive/15min walk."
  • "Got chicken jalfrezi, chicken pakoras and roti. The jalfrezi can not be called that because it was all chicken and tomato sauce."
  • "One of the worst meals we've ever attempted to eat. We ordered chicken Dansak, and nan bread. The sauce was so thick, like a plate of thick pulp."
  • "Disappointing, paid £13 for a prawn curry. Prawns tasted slightly off, no fresh ingredients, curry was watery and lacking flavour."

Cons:

  • "One little disappointment was we were sat at 7pm but didn't get our mains until half 8."
  • "The restaurant lost our orders and we had to order the whole thing again (about 9 items), so we were least pleased."
  • "First few mouthfuls were delicious - but then my partner felt something funny in her mouth - a fully unfolded staple!"
  • "Delivery timing very very long. Ordered 19:40, received 21: 15 . 40 minutes later as promisedDistance 2miles."
  • "We chose this restaurant for a takeaway due to reading all the good reviews. We are now left very confused as to why there are so many good reviews."
  • "Ordered from here for the first time a few days ago on the basis that it was new, not far away, and only seemed to have 5 star reviews."
  • "It's not a place you would go for a walk since it's not too far from the center but it's kind of isolated."

  • "The restaurant has a nice decor, good lighting and in general is very clean and tidy."
  • "The food was divine, 100% recommend. Reminded me of my trip to Nepal. You must go! Atmosphere is great as well!"
  • "Atmosphere: the interior is very special, cosy and chic."

Cons:

  • "The new decor is great and the restaurant had a great atmosphere - super busy & bustling on a Friday night."
  • "Main road so parking was an issue however we could drop off outside and park further away."
  • "It's not a place you would go for a walk since it's not too far from the center but it's kind of isolated."
  • "The room is simply decorated and not colorful as the typical Indian restaurant."

Value for Money

  • "An extensive menu which is great value for money and offers all classic’s you might expect."
  • "This uniqueness also extends to the drinks, with cocktails like the Mango Colada, which I highly recommend."
  • "Very good food, excellent papadums and chutneys."
  • "We could not finish everything, the portions are quite big."
  • "Food tasted great, staff was friendly. They let us try a papadum for free when we asked what it was."
  • "Food was affordable (£10-12 for a base meal, approximately £3 for rice and another £3 for 4 big slices of Naan bread)."

Cons:

  • "The price was not too cheap but also not too expensive."
  • "The only flaw was that they charged 4 pounds for simple pilau rice which was by far not enough."
  • "Food was good but very expensive for what it is. The momos aren't the best (I grew up eating momos)."

  • "We ended up spending 30£ each for starter, main, naan bread and drinks."
  • "The chef mixed starters were a little disappointing. The pakoras just tasted of frying oil and they weren't even freshly fried."
  • "Paid £13 for a prawn curry. Prawns tasted slightly off, no fresh ingredients, curry was watery and lacking flavour."
  • "The sauce was so thick, like a plate of thick pulp, nothing to dip the nan into. The whole meal was tasteless, awful."
