Duck kebab which was delicious. Mosit and flavourful and the chutney, red onion and mint added and new flavour combo. The prawns in the prawn curry was as big as my fist and they were brilliant. The curry was just the right level of heat. Peshawari nan was amazing!

Very nice restaurant. Had the chicken lollipops, prawn maanga, pulao rice, garlic naan. Really beautiful food, well-spiced and frangrant. Basil creme brulee to finish. Loved every second of this meal! The space is very echoey so this will not be a quiet night out, but the ambiance is warm and friendly. A lively and socialble place with great food for a good catch up with friends.

Superb experience - ate in the new extension and was worried we may be forgotten about. Quite the opposite. Excellent service and delicious food as always. The pork ribs and pork vindaloo both exceptional.

best indian food in the area. recommended. Menu is simple but I think that is what is good about it. Not a huge menu. But whatever they serve is high quality.

Service was impeccable, polite and professional, we were not rushed. This was my second visit. Food was good, though £17 for each main you should expect decent quality. Butter chicken was a success (and good portion size), lamb saag less so. Starter Fish koliwada was amazing. I will be back, but maybe just order more starters and cocktails. Feel lucky to have this on my doorstep.

A very enjoyable evening. The fish tikka starters were superb. The paneer main was a little samey, but the others were excellent. The lamb biryani was a coup de theatre. If we have one critique, it was the lack of a vegetable side dish or two.
