The Process of Dum Biriyani: This process reflects the ingenuity of the Indian Chefs. Food is part cooked and then put in a pot and the lid is sealed with dough paste to capture the moisture within the food as it is then tenderly and slowly cooked to retain all the flavour and aroma. These items can be sealed without the dough paste for guests with a gluten allergy. These items can be served without the yoghurt for guests with dairy allergy

Quiet for a Saturday night, not sure why though, the food was excellently prepared and cooked. By far the best Indian we've had for a long time.

Group of nine on a golfing holiday in Nottingham. Decided to try this Indian restaurant based on Trip Advisor reviews. Fantastic Indian meal - everyone said it was the best we have ever experienced. Service was excellent and we will definitely be back.

Wonderfully friendly welcome, as always. Utterly delicious chilli paneer, fish curry with lime rice and plain naan accompanied by an excellent Italian red, followed by gulab jamun. Continues to be the star of Nottingham Indian restaurants.
