   I haven’t had an Indian takeaway for a long time, so was really looking forward to it as a treat. Unfortunately it was a massive disappointment. The order was wrong, and even when we pointed this out, staff argued that it was correct. When we got home, it was clear that what had been written down was not what we received. Sadly, the food itself wasn’t good at all. It was extremely sloppy and bland, lacking flavour, and overall genuinely unpleasant. This food clearly hasn’t been made with any love. We’re now at home and cooking dinner because we’re hungry. I don’t like leaving negative reviews and would normally say nothing, but on this occasion I feel the need to share feedback. It's not great when you can't eat what you ordered. If we were closer I would have returned it.

   Exceptional and well priced Indian food. High quality meat used, the kids had the normal curries which were they loved and we tried their signature dishes from the seafood to the lamb shank and it was fantastic. The service was friendly, the atmosphere lovely and would definitely go there again.

   I popped in with a friend for what we thought would be a nice evening — ordered a bottle of Prosecco and four starters to share. To our surprise, the staff told us we *couldn’t eat unless we ordered a main meal each*. Bear in mind, the restaurant was practically empty at the time (only one other couple dining), so it’s not as though we were taking up valuable tables. It felt very unwelcoming — surely good hospitality is about letting customers enjoy the food however they choose, especially when we were ordering both food and drinks. Instead, we were turned away and left feeling disappointed. Plenty of other restaurants in the area are happy to accommodate their guests and don’t insist on unnecessary rules. Sadly, we won’t be returning here.

   Came for the first time Saturday night, the service was brilliant from stepping through the door, well looked after all night. The food was amazing, great size portions, very impressed with the dishes... We will be back, thank you for a wonderful evening!

   It was one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever been in. The menu was very extensive and the food was out of this world. Would highly recommend this place if you are ever in the area. Will be visiting again .

   Once again enjoyed a meal at this Indian restaurant. The reference to "refined" cuisine is well deserved as little touches at the table put this dining experience above the rest.

   Amazing food. Chicken melts your mouth. Dhanska perfect blends of spices. My wife has her favourite, chicken korma with pineapple, nice and rich creamy sauce. Naans are kk. Sag aloo, I could eat this all day and night. Good service. Not cheap not super expensive and worth the rest every now and then.
