Food was quite good, especially the Ruby chicken and pashwari naan, but the samosas were way too spicy for me. We weren't too impressed with the service though. Not a single question as to how the food was, or if we wanted more drinks or dessert. After a while of waiting around for that, we just gave up.

waited more than 30mins for food. almost missed the theratre. We needed to ask for plates and cutlery which were not given to us. Napkin were forgotten. We need ask for water as the staff forgot to bring it to us. Taste of the food is good but the ingredients were subpar. Frozen vegetables were used in the vegetable curry. salad was given without any dressing.

I wish I could give zero stars to this restaurant. First of all the place is very congested you can't even sit properly, and the food oh my god they ruined my dining experience and tortured my taste buds, they say this Indian food it was tasteless, spiceless and watery, the dal we ordered was inedible because it was full of salt rather taste, the paneer my goodness never eaten that tasteless sabji ni my life and who on this earth adds this much tomato ketchup in chana. The service was non existent as nobody takes care if you want to order something else I have to wait long after have complained about the dal to get it sorted they brought it when my dinner was almost over. I would not recommend anyone to go this restaurant and ruin their evening by eating such dinner 😞

I had a great lunch and the menu has plenty to offer. The onion Baji is great and a good dish to start with. The lamb is a good choice here too if you like the meat.

The space was very cramped with tables too close to each other. The food was good, but getting waiters' attention took too long at times.

Food excellent! But that's a fly problem. 3 fruit flies were buzzing around our table. There are things to get rid of those in drains. Also took a long time to get service after getting seated.

Bitterly disappointing. Arrived on time and had to wait 10 mins for our booked table. Starters arrived when still at our poppadoms. When the mains arrived it’s clear they were sitting on a hot plate for a while. There was no ‘sizzle’ on the sizzler and one of the meals was cold, as was the naan. It was sent back and when it returned it’s clear it had just been ‘nuked’ in the microwave. The Naan was cut up to disguise the face it was the same ‘nuked’ Naan returning. 15% service charge on the bill for that service and quality was very disappointing. It’s clearly not about quality and just about turnover for tourists.

Restaurant was very busy on arrival, looks like they have put as many tables a physically possible leave little room for moving. Starter ( chicken tikka and a mix grill ) was fantastic. Main ( chicken balti and a prawn vindaloo) not so good , sauce was little and watery. Rice and nann bread was adequate. Felt uncomfortable in the restaurant due to no air conditioning being put on. 5 /10

Absolutely horrendous experience. The food was outrageously overpriced and tasted awful — the onions were charred beyond recognition. To make things worse, the staff were shockingly rude and arrogant, as if they were doing us a favour by serving us. This place is an utter disgrace. Left completely disgusted and furious. Wouldn’t recommend this dump to my worst enemy.
