Food was amazing. Servers were humble and helpful. Tried Yellow daal, paneer and mushroom everything was delicious. Parantha was too good. For 4 people our bill was reasonable £75

The Lamb Rogan Josh, is excellent. I asked for a wee bit spicier, right on the money. My wife had the Chicken Massala, it was not spicy enough for her. The meal went extremely well, the only off putting thing, was there were three young ladies with their cell phones blaring. Luckily, they came in, near the end of the meal. This does not detract from the place at all.
