Really excellent and tasty food. The restaurant wasn't busy and the service was very attentive. Good value for money with the evening set of starter, main, rice/naan and dessert.

Great food and attentive staff. All three dishes we had were very good, but particularly enjoyed my choice - Chicken Tikka Hariali. Also pulled out the stops with a specially ordered Peshwari paratha.

We waited ages for service even though it wasn’t busy as usual ; one of my friends asked for a lamb dish and they were given chicken ,we had to wait 4mins to get the rice after the main dishes, very disappointed as usually it’s very good

Nice atmosphere, good food at a decent price and the service was very good as we were visiting the Empire Theatre so needed to be served so we could leave at a specific time

Great venue, especially for a pre-theatre meal. Menu choice and quality is excellent and staff are invariably friendly and smiling. It is very reasonably priced too.

The service was good, the only disappointing thing for us was we had to leave straight after eating due to going to theatre at 8.30p.m

Fabulous meal. Had the set meal for 2, but there were happy to change one of the dishes for us. The timing was excellent for us to then go on to the theatre. Only criticism was the waiting staff seemed to loiter a little and we were aware of this. I like to be left in peace to eat!

Brilliant evening,the food was delicious,the service was great,they even made a special mild curry for my 7 year old grandson and I have never seen him eat so much. We will definitely make this our restuarant of choice from now on. Well worth a visit.

Exceptional food and service as usual. This was our third visit and certainly won't be our last. Round onion Bhajis are the best I have ever had and the lamb vindaloo was fresh and hot hot hot so a freezing cold pint of Cobra went down well.

The food was lovely, atmosphere lovely, staff were great. I took a mark off for the coke being as flat as a pancake. Over all, very good.

I visit with my husband, prior to going to the theatre. We both had starters and main meals, and shared bread and rice. Good size portions, and we were pleased we had not ordered a rice each. Food very tasty, to its usual good standard and service.Fab meal, will visit again

lovely food, great service. Interesting dishes, some unusual and not the normal ones usually found. Excellent. Will return. Four of us went, and all agreed this was great curry.
