A lovely evening spent with a group of four. The food was great. Taste and quality were fantastic. Service was attentive but unrushed and unpressured. We were left at our table for an hour after settling the bill while we chatted, which was great not to be ushered out. Nice atmosphere, I'll definitely be back.

Great menu, superb vegetarian options and Manager and colleagues really attentive to service and looking after you. It's our favourite restaurant and was great to see how busy they were on a Wednesday night, and this in no way impeded the service or wait for food.

Excellent food, the Sunday Buffet is great value for money . This was our second visit. Would highly recommend this. Our previous, first visit was a Saturday evening, the restaurant was busy, buzzing and the host made room for four of us although our booking was mislaid. Great food and ambience, and we were well looked after. Very welcoming. Definately recommend a visit.

Something had gone wrong with the booking when I changed the group size from 2 to 4 people, but that didn’t phase the staff and within a couple of minutes we were at our table, where we went on to have one of the best Indian meals I’ve ever had.
