This restaurant offers an interesting selection of complex Indian dishes - it's not your average Indian restaurant by any means. We enjoyed our meal very much and will certainly visit again.

Once again an excellent experience. Staff are the best, polite, friendly, helpful, so good at their jobs. Food exemplary, flavours, textures, immaculate mixture of spices. Menu choices are so varied it’s difficult to make a choice, but whatever you choose you won’t be disappointed. A must.

More like a tapas style small plate sharing experience the food was excellent but not small portions as you may expect so don’t order loads but keep ordering if needed. Food was out of this world
