Meat quality was super tender. Biryani was great and came with a really tasty potato curry. Korma was pretty good. Overall it was a tasty good quality meal. We were expecting medium heat and nothing was even remotely spicy. Even the "chili sauce" wasn't spicy.

Wow the food and service were exceptional. We had a delicious 3 course meal. The food was full of flavour and had a lovely home made taste. We were served by Leyla who was friendly and went above and beyond with her service. We can not recommend this restaurant enough.
