    Enjoyed the buffet very much. The food is very good. It would help if the piquancy of each dish could be better indicated, say with "chilli pepper" ratings.

    The food was very good, a little different from your normal Indian menu. The service was also excellent even though the restaurant was full and very busy.

    The restaurant was generally very noisy. Help was needed with menu and proved misleading on heat of dishes! Some of the staff were difficult to understand. Food was very good although we were encouraged to over order. Will try again

    Fantastic food, poor service. Booked an 8pm table, served drinks and poppadoms immediately. Starters, main course and more drinks ordered at 8.30. Husband’s starter arrived promptly, my starter arrived as he finished his. Drinks didn’t arrive so we requested them again. After another hours wait and watching other tables that arrived after us being served, we asked where our main courses were. It was clear we had been forgotten. We had wanted to order more drinks but nobody came to the table in that hour. Main course arrived at 9.50pm. I was expecting the manager to come and apologise for forgetting us, but he merely asked if everything was ok with our meal. I Won’t be recommending this restaurant to my friends in Denham.

    Very expansive menu with plenty of choice, ranging from mild to very hot flavours. Attentive and good service, a little on the slow side, especially when waiting to ask for bill. Reasonable prices - good value-for-money.

    We arrived yesterday evening (1st Dec) for my partners surprise birthday meal. All his friends arrived prior to us and were seated quickly. The restaurant even allowed us to put our own funny birthday banner up on the interior of the restaurant: which was a laugh. The drinks were never a long wait and served very quickly all night. We had to wait a little bit for the food but considering there was 9 of us it was expected. And the food was AMAZING. Highly recommend the Kangeroo kebabs

    Nepalese food (similar to Indian) but far more tasty, rather than hot. Would definitely go again and more often if they accepted the Gourmet Card!

    We really enjoyed the food, and the Nepalese dishes (of which there was excellent selection) were very good. The appearance/décor was good, contemporary - as you may expect from a newly opened restaurant. We had only a table for 2 which was small but sufficient. It was to one side where the ceiling lighting was from ceiling downlights - it would have been nicer if the lights could have been dimmed a little. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was busy, one of the waiters seemed to have less English and for example we were told that there were no desserts, which I don't believe but we had sufficient anyway. Overall, we liked the restaurant, the food was very good, the Nepalese cuisine a change from standard Indian/Asian, and we certainly intend to go again and would recommend. Cost for two was about £90 for starters, ample main dishes (one main, two sides, very nice rice dish & bread), and drinks incl coffees.
