Food was very nice and service was good, would happily go again. Bombay potatoes were a bit cold but the flavour was very good, chicken bhuna was nice but lacked that real vibrant flavour that you hope for. Tikka masala was very good couldn’t fault it. Chicken tandoori starter did not seem all that fresh like it had been waiting a while and did not need the spicy sauce that came with it, perhaps that could be offered when ordering. All in all though was a pleasant experience.

The food was excellent. One of the best Indian meals I have had. The service was very good also. We visited early in the evening before a show at the Kings Theatre and were in and out within 90 minutes. Don't be put off by the exterior - the restaurant is bigger than it looks and is clean and comfortable. I would recommend it.

We had a lovely meal & were made very welcome even though we had only made a last minute booking on line. Although we did not take advantage of the offer, we thought it was a lovely idea to be offered a complimentary drink at the end of our meal.
