Great place to dine in! Got some sharing plates with my partner and a main. I thought the portion sizes were perfect. Service was excellent, relaxing atmosphere and food was delicious! Left feeling full and happy. P.S. Do yourself a favour and get the garlic naan it’s IMMENSE. Dripping in garlic butter. Easily the best one I’ve ever had!!

Reviews
Been here a couple of times for takeaway, will say that their chicken biryani is so amazing, it hits the spot. After a long day, if I just want warm comfort food, I always come here. Service is also amazing, the staff give great recommendations and are very kind.
Read on Google Maps£6.75 each for veg pakora - 5 small pieces each. £18 for a lamb curry for two, wasn't enough food for 1 person, never mind 2. Sauce was tasty but very few small pieces of meat. Portion of boiled rice was £3.50 and was half a bowl. Staff were nice but we got hussled out of the door because they were closing (10pm). Not recommended if you're hungry, rip-off pricing.
Read on Google MapsMixed kebab was just doner kebab. Taste is very average. Not recommended.
Read on Google MapsHave been coming here for years and the quality and atmosphere is just the same. The food is exceptional and authentic Indian. Quite special!
