The service here is immaculate and they are really attentive to detail! The food menu is delicious and extensive and everything we tried was delicious including the chicken tikka and masala prawns. The place itself is lovely, modern and super clean. Will be back again :)

Had a couple of hours to kill in the local area and really fancied a proper Indian meal. 'Accidently' found this place not realising I had last been here 4 years ago and had a not particularly good experience. What a difference this time. We were greeted at the door by a very friendly member of staff. They made space for us even though busy All my favourite dishes were on the menu, including Mogo and chilli panier. The difference was like night and day The food was really good. There was so much lamb in the biryani that we could not finish it. Staff was just the right amount of attentive during the evening. So glad we stumbled back here and look forward to coming again.

Thought we would take the opportunity to eat out to help out. Definitely a good call. Nice glass of Tusker and garlic Mogo really hit the spot. Chilli paneer was also nice and spicy. Total bill for the meal came to 60 for two adults and a picky teen, so I'd say a little pricey but with the tax payer paying half the bill I would call it a bargain !

Great locally run Indian restaurant. The food was really tasty and they had a rich range of options to suit vegetarian and non vegetarian alike. We had two very young children too and it was easy to look after them due to the space and provision of high chairs. Would recommend all of the paneer dishes and the chilli Mogo. The naan was also lovely, fluffy and hot without being too doughy. Highly recommend the fresh passion fruit juice. Parking is best on the street behind.

This place is hands down the only place you should have Indian food! From the absolutely fantastic staff who were super helpful all throughout the night to the lovely and kind owner who greeted us when we walked in, it was nothing short of an exemplar experience The food...out of this world! For vegans, I would highly recommend! They have a tofu dish which tastes almost exactly like paneer! Hats off to chef, he's truly mastered the whole recipe and each dish was nothing short of mouth-watering. Don't think twice about going, if you go, you won't regret it!

Ate here for lunch on saturday, a quiet (for the time of day) and friendly restaurant offering a wide variety of fresh and vibrant dishes. Portions are generous, especially the starters. The lamb was succulent and perfectly cooked, the vegetable rice packed with colour, and the garlic naan light and airy with just the right amount of crispness. Highly recommended!

A great place to eat - just be sure to book in advance! This place is always packed on the weekends and Friday - it would be unwise to just turn up and hope for a table. This is a well decorated clean and pleasant Indian Restaurant. The food was very good and was presented well with decent portions and decent pricing. The service was also good but a friendly and attentive waiter allocated to our table. Be sure to try out the stuffed mushrooms (not the chilli garlic ones). They are quite different and delicious in my opinion!
