My partners food was good, he enjoyed everything that he ordered. I ordered the vegan starter of the stuff pepper, that was lovely nothing but mind blowing. Then I orders one of the two vegan mains the most expensive one of £25 and was very underwhelming , it was literally just vegetable rice with a side of kale cabbage. We did complain and we got it comped which was nice. The staff and service was amazing very accommodating and understanding. Decor and ambience were beautiful

Food was served cold, like it had been sitting for a while. Parantha bread came at end of meal. No lamb chops on the menu. Communication of the menu could have been better. It’s a great restaurant, with polite service, that has been around for a long time for a reason but on this occasion it lacked the finishing touch you expect when dining here.

Definitely overbooked for the night. Lots of people waiting for their tables for another 30 minutes or so after the booked slot. Mains were great but canapés and starters just ok. Definitely not the usual experience and a bit disappointing considering it was an expensive menu for Valentines Day. The least you would expect is for them to not charge for drinks while you’ve been waiting 30’ for your table.

Took my wife for Valentine’s Day, they opened up a side room they clearly never use in order to pack as many Valentine’s diners in. It was very awkward, bright lighting, slow service, and a bizarrely cold room, because again, they never use it. None of the diners around us looked particularly happy, all in all a big letdown.

Food and service were amazing! But the ambience, wasn't that good. I was expecting to dine on the main hall, but ended up surprised eating on a side room, with pretty much no view.

Totally avoid it if your celebrating a special evening Definitely not a fine dining experience Service extremely slow very poor Food was cold not worth the money The place has nice ambiance is probably the only positive Theres a serious management issue with the place no control or they concentrating only on certain tables Waited 40 minutes for starters after reminding them twice received it Mains arrived more than 30 minutes later and was cold assuming it was waiting around for a bit Desserts after 40 minutes of wait gave up after reminding waiters twice 125£ for valentines menu Wasnt even worth 50£ Very overpriced for the quality of food on the menu 1 glass champagne 3 canapoes 1 starter 1 main 1 x dessert (gave up on) 125£ per person very poor Go to your local curry house youll be happier
