Booked up for a mid-week banquet for the lads birthday. We get takeaways delivered from here but hadn't had a sit down meal here for 20+ years. The food choice is great, and everything was very tasty and enjoyable. Shouldn't be an odd thing but getting food served that is actually hot is a very welcome change! Brilliant value for money on a school night, will certainly recommend and we'll definitely return. The couple that are running the restaurant are so welcoming and you can see how passionate they are. Thanks for a great evening ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We ordered lamb naga, chicken jalfrezi, king prawn biryani and tarka daal, the flavours were delicious, spot on, however the meat, chicken and prawns portion was so little, hardly anything and not enough as we paid alot. The meat was hard, the best was the tarka dhaal and chicken jalfrezi. Biryani was nice but not the best. No salad, no poppadoms, expensive meal but it was OK.
