   First dine-in experience here following a recent takeaway. The food was excellent which is why we returned to dine-in. We had pre-booked a table and after a very short wait of 2-3 minutes were shown through to it. Menus appeared quickly and our drinks order requested and given. (They only serve soft drinks but you can bring your own alcohol which many people did). After giving our food order we only had about a 10 minute wait for our starters. My wife had mixed kebabs which were delicious and I had meat samosas which were not as I remembered them from the takeaway 2 weeks previously. I asked the waiter who explained there is a difference between the 2 types but I hadn't known when I ordered the takeaway so he brought 2 out as a takeaway free of charge. Ask for dhesi samosas. They're the best!! Mains were nice. My wife had a lamb dish which was a shank served in a thick sauce. There was a lot of meat and the sauce was tasty. I had chicken multani which was classed as "fairly hot". I didn't find it particularly so but it was very flavoursome with a bit of heat. Better than all heat and no flavour! All in all a nice meal and we will be back. Special mention to Uzzi who looked after us and helped with my future samosa selection!!

   Quickly welcomed by a friendly face and looked forward to trying as it was recommended. I had the mix grill and cheese and garlic Naan. The mix grill wasn’t to bad, quite fish heavy and not much chicken. Sadly it was a little dry. The Naan was like a triple cheese pizza, what happened to a traditional nan seasoned with cheese and garlic. This was more like a garlic cheese pizza. Overall ok for the money just needs some tweaks :)

   Best Asian cuisine in the town. I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The customer service was outstanding—staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. The ambiance is absolutely beautiful, with elegant seating and stunning decor that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking for both great service and a visually charming dining experience!

   Really poor curry the menu is vast it’s not possible to cook so many dishes and have distinct flavours I had the madras with poor chicken and nothing like a madras sauce I’ve ever had the popadoms were not good or crisp despite being kept in a hot cupboard… the mixed starter was ok as was the rice … we had the family garlic nan which was doughy and partially uncooked at the edges and no discernible garlic … Aagrah round the corner is much better a la carte or buffet or better still individually cooked dishes at Mughals on Leeds Road

   Visited for an 83rd birthday last weekend, with a group of 18. Very impressed with the layout and decor, and the friendly and inviting team of workers. Menus were varied with something different for everyone. Spice levels were accurate and I purposefully chose a very hot dish, which I was impressed with, it wasn't just overload of chilli, it was packed full of chunky veg too. Would definitely return and certainly recommend.

   Great curry house. Nice atmosphere and lovely restaurant. Staff all friendly. We went for poppadoms and pickle tray followed by mixed veggie starters to share between 2. Then 2 curries, pilau rice and garlic naan. All absolutely delicious. We couldn't eat it all... took a bag home with us. BYOB.

   Consistently great food and service. We go at least every month and never disappointed. Mixed sizzler starter. Then most of our huge main course portion goes home for later.
