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.

I had a lovely lunch and enjoyed the chicken tikka which had a lovely smooth sauce and the chicken was tender. The staff are helpful and the location is great if you heading in or out of the city.

Unfortunately we couldn't wait for our food due to other obligations. It took nearly 10 minutes to be acknowledged and provided water after seating. After ordering we received no information or food for over 35 more minutes. Informed staff we had to depart and see told the food would be ready in "two minutes" but I didn't have confidence in that so we departed.

Had to ask for basic things like a napkin and water. Soda was served warm not chilled. Food was not warm and looked like it came from a buffet, one example being butter chicken with sauce so thick you could virtually stand a spoon in it. Staff started cleaning the table off even before we could get out of our chairs. Worst Indian food and service I’ve ever had.

Busy Saturday and focus was on churning as many covers through as possible. Some was due to people going on to shows but felt like you were in the way as soon as you had put the fork down. Food was OK. Restaurant is narrow so feels busy and loud.

It was a worst experience, food was terrible, unbearably spicy, service was pathetic, made to wait for 20-30 mins outside. I had booked it for a group of my friends and was too embarrassed at the end, never again!
