Very good, food was very tasty and perfectly spiced. Staff were very attentive, it seemed like we weren't there long, but never felt rushed. Will be back again!!

Absolutely beautiful food. Would highly recommend eating or ordering a takeaway from here. Best Indians I have tasted in a long time. Shame I don't live in the area, will definitely use it when I am though.

Really enjoyed the meal I had there with my partner last night. The food was amazing, I've had many curry's before but the vindaloo was 10/10. I also had peshwari nann that came with a coating of honey(1st time for me that). I asked about the ingredients and had a great conversation with couple members of staff. Price was spot on. Extreme value. Would definitely recommend. If your in the area(or not) go here for a wonderful meal, great service, good atmosphere and excellent value.10/10. Oh and heart shaped bowls .
