the trays to hold food were not kept up to a reasonable level, although the staff were happy to fill if you asked them too. Also not a great selection of curry a hooter one would have been appreciated.

Fine grub, good portion size, reasonably priced. Menu was extensive enough for our requirements, BYOB isn't a problem. Friendly staff and very good service. Will be back.

Unfortunately the buffet was rather poor. Very limited selection (only one chicken disk and it was a korma!) including a "meatball curry"?!! The starter compartments were completely empty, but I guess they were refilling them fairly regularly (didn't stay to find out). Presentation looked like a school cafeteria, quite off putting. We left within minutes. The one positive point was the lovely bubbly guy running it, nice guy. Just a shame the buffet was so poor. Will try the proper restaurant next door next time.

It all began when I was perusing through Groupon trying to find a tasty deal for my friend and I to enjoy during a midweek excursion, after searching for what seemed like ten minutes I came across a two for one deal for the Killer Restaurants curry buf-fett. Now I'm no fool and I never pass up a good deal when I see one, so I jumped at the offer. The night was soggy, as were my feet, but this didn't deter my friend and myself from venturing out to try this buf-fett. We arrived and were greeted with some confusion as they staff seemed baffled that we had booked online and had a Groupon. This confusion didn't last long and to be honest I don't know why I'm mentioning it now. We were offer a table, by the window, and given fresh clean glasses and a bottle opener for our beer. Oh! Did I mention that it was BYOB and with no corkage charge? Well it was! After we settled in we headed up to the buf-fett station to survey the food on offer. The selection was suitable for our needs, had our needs been hot curry dishes filled with potato. Take this as your word of warning that if you don't enjoy potatoes in your curry then don't bother with this buf-fett. That being said I thought it was delightful. There were around 5 to 6 starters on offer, and 4 to 5 mains. The highlight of the evening was the puffed bread, and in this reviewers opinion it's a contender to replace nann bread. I went in with the intension of eating until I exploded and that dream was achieved, and after only two plates. Beers were drank, food was consumed, the night was a success. In short: the staff were friendly, the food was potatoy (but tasty), the atmosphere was enjoyable (which reminds me! Two tables behind me I could overhear a group discussing the Marvel movies, and in great detail. Talk about obnoxious! If only these types of folks and their conversions could be banned much like the way smoking in bars had been banned.) Visit if only to try once, and don't forget to tip! Two thumbs up...

Great for a Stag do, food was great and service great. The stag got the killer curry which is brought out by a guy with a gas mask which is a nice touch. Had a small taste of the sauce and it's definitely powerful.

We went to the restaurant part of the Killer Curry House. This place was really good. There was no corkage which is definitely a benefit and because we booked online we got 10% off our total bill. The staff were friendly and the service was very quick. The food was really good and they had decent portion sizes. I would definitely come back here again

The Staff were very friendly that was the most positive thing. The buffet was quite sparse and the food in my opinion was not hot enough. The restaurant was freezing too. Overall this was not a place that I would ever visit again unfortunately. We had problems trying to redeem our voucher but they did turn this around eventually.

Food was really good, waiters were pleasant if a little stretched between two restaurants. Don't sit in the main room if it's cold though, it's not heated well enough!

No choice , constantly asking for food & waiting long periods to get the food stocked up. Everything was put out in small doses and other customers had to ask for food to be topped up and complained about the little selection on offer. Would not recommend. Selection of starters and mains was limited and no sign of desserts let alone a poppadom.

The food is authentic, tasty and the portions are generous. I am often not a fan of Indian, as it can be formulaic (meat quickly cooked and a bought sauce applied) but the slow cooked dishes were a revelation. Likewise, everything from the tandoor was tasty and succulent. Highly recommended.

Could do with more staff only one person on duty and he has to do everything . If runs out of anything he has to go and cook it to refil containers
