Was fortunate enough to be taken here for dinner about 20 years ago, it was an amazing experience, food was phenomenal and the venue outstanding. Was looking for a local restaurant to our offices, so we could take a colleague out to celebrate her forthcoming retirement and booked here. Was not disappointed, the staff were so accommodating with a few of our asks, which enabled us to give her a great send off! We went for the early 3 course dinner, which was good value for money and had something for everyone... the food and ambience was delightful. Never felt rushed to complete and clear our tables. We even purchased one of Vivek Singh's signed cookery books while there, so we could add it to her bag of presents. Fabulous night had by all, thank you very much!

Tasting menu was superb, and service was excellent. The place is quirky for an Indian restaurant. Nice atmosphere, not too noisy. Only small thing to downgrade it from being pretty much perfect is the lavatory, which was a bit run down and not particularly clean. Everything else about the experience was exceptional and would happily return and recommend.

We chose the tasting menu, one meat and one vegetarian. The courses tasted very similar to each other and were very over seasoned with fragrant spices. The meat courses all tasted very similar with lots of over-powering cloves and cardamom. Some dishes were ok and some not very nice at all. Service was ok but my wife wasn’t really acknowledged and everything was directed to me as a man which we didn’t really like either. Also, our table wasn’t ready for over 20 minutes and generally service of the courses was slow and the wine even slower.
