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!!

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.

£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.

Mixed kebab was just doner kebab. Taste is very average. Not recommended.
