We visited around 5 on a Saturday evening with our 2 young children we were made to feel unwelcome and it seemed as though we were an inconvenience and they just didn't want us there as it was busy. Sat us next to a door where people just kept walking in and out. Seemed to rush to get us out. Food was expensive and just very average, meat was rubbery. Would not visit again

After reading good reviews with some not so good ones on TA, we decided to take a chance and we are glad we did. We didn’t book a table but they kindly accommodated us on what was a busy evening.
The food was very tasty and service was excellent.
Only thing I would suggest to the management is not to spray cleaning solution on the table next to customers eating as we could smell and taste it , instead should spray on a cloth first. Other than that we’d go back and would highly recommend the restaurant.

We took friends here last year and enjoyed it enough to go back. What a difference. I made a reservation three hours before we went, but when we arrived they had no booking. The drinks order was taken but only three turned up, the fourth drink didn't. The customer had to go and get it from the bar. The naan breads were like lethal weapons. My husband snapped his and flakes flew across the table. By the end of the meal I wish I had used mine to slice my wrist, it was certainly crisp enough. One meal had a piece of raw chicken in and this was the second bite. They took it away and offered something else which was refused. Later they brought back the dinner, with the chicken washed on a plate to show her, it was only one raw piece. Never in my life have I come across anything like this. They again asked if she wanted another meal which she refused. We asked for the bill and were still waiting 1/2 an hour later, so we decided to walk out and pay on the way. They presented the bill, which still had the uneaten meal on. We refused to pay. The bill was finally adjusted. As we left the building the girl on the desk asked us if we had enjoyed our meal and when I said, "Sorry, no not really" She replied, "LOVELY, have a nice evening" and turned back to her screen. It is a shame as I had recommened this restaurant before but not now.

After reading the reviews about people not being able to get a seat without a booking, was not expecting to get a seat on a Saturday night walking in. But we did!

We shared poppadoms, a chicken tikka biriyani each, shared a keema Nan and some chips.

Disappointed with the chips, which were more like fries and a tiny portion. But the rest of the food and the service was excellent!

Didn’t take any pics, too keen to eat the food!
