This is a nice restaurant to grab some good Indian food. The two curries we had were good and well seasoned. The meats (lamb) were nice and tender as well, which made the dishes all that more enjoyable. The garlic na'an was very delicious and was a nice compliment to the curry dishes. The service was good and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Overall, it was a very good price to quality ratio.

Reviews
We’ve had Indian food in over 40 countries. This rates among the top 10. Chicken jalfrezi, Rogan Josh, and karahi. Excellent with just the right spice at ‘medium’. The decor and lighting are adorable. It’s the perfect ‘casual spot with some Indian atmosphere’. Service was super friendly and kind. House Sauvignon blanc paired very nicely with the curries. At a time when other Indian restaurants are doing ‘modern takes’ on Indian food it’s nice to have delicious traditional curries!
Read on Google MapsExcellent visit. Service was lovely, really attentive. Spot on. Food was excellent, tender, flavourful, good portions. Atmosphere was laid back, cosy, nice vibes. Excellent visit, 5/5. Highly recommend.
Read on Google MapsI visited Obsession of India with my partner on a Saturday afternoon and we were both delighted with our experience. The starters were excellent - we both had the gola kebab. These were quite light but tasty and set us up nicely for the main course. The curries were very fresh and high quality! Madras had a lovely kick to it and the Karahi was brilliant aswell, naan was superb and it left us feeling very much satisfied. Staff were excellent and accommodating during our visit and we’ll definitely be back! One of the best curries I’ve had.
Read on Google MapsI read the reviews and had to try for myself. Absolutely flawless. The food was amazing. So flavourful, good portion sizes. The staff were super friendly, passionate about their restaurant and very efficient. Not been? Come try it. You won't be disappointed
