The food is very good. However, despite pricey costs for the food, the portions are very small. If curries included either a small bowl of rice or some naan, that would offset that feeling. Also, the worker who showed us to our table and took our orders was very off-putting.

My husband and I booked dinner here for New Year’s Eve. The city was quite busy for Hogmanay, so we were happy we pre-booked! The food was excellent and the service pleasant and unobtrusive. I definitely recommend dining here!

Always a great visit, we had our first date year over two years ago so it was great to come back and see it again. Completely lives up to expectations. Food is always high quality and fantastic, service is speedy (though as it got busier waiting times obviously increased as one would expect). It's an affordable and excellent night out. Fully recommend.
