"My husband and son and I decided to stop here for lunch one Monday. We arrived just after 12pm. Sat down, had our drinks and food order taken and my little boy needed to use the toilet. My husband took him to the public toilets which to his utter disgust where completely blocked and disgustingly dirty. He then tried to take him to the restaurant toilets and they where pretty much the same! Could not use them. He alerted a member of staff and it wasn’t even acknowledged and I took him to the female restaurant toilets which where not as bad but had definitely not been cleaned. We again spoke to what was meant to be a young girl duty manager. Her response was oh the cleaners mustn’t have been in?? Seriously? Is there not checks done before opening? If environmental health had of shown up they would have been shut down. We only ate our food because we had already ordered. My husband decided to email to advise of the dirty standards and never got a response, hence now the review. Absolute disgrace. Standards have dropped massively."

"This would not look out of place as a trendy city bar. Really well presented and a lot of thought had gone onto the decor and menu. Backed up by friendly staff and a really nice experience. We stopped here for breakfast before heading up to Sperrins for a hike and well worth the trip."

"Went for a friends leaving party on Thursday night. Ordered off the 4 courses for £22 A few of us didn’t have dessert and asked our waitress would it be ok if we got a cocktail instead of the dessert option, our lovely waitress said it would not be an issue. After desserts since our “4 courses” included tea coffee (so we thought) a few of us ordered teas and coffees. Much to our dismay there was an extra £40 for drinks included. The girl who took our bill was rude and her attitude was much to be desired as she tried to “blame” our lovely waitress when we brought this issue up. She went and got the manager who claimed that the menu had changed and no longer allowed a cocktail substitute and teas and coffees were not included. He did alter the bill to remove the cocktails but we still paid for the teas and coffees. Thought it was false advertising and staff and menu should reflect these changes that have been put in place."

"This place is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Their food is stunning and very tasty authentic Indian cuisine. The hand painted wall art on the walls upstairs is remarkable, very talented work. Warm cosy atmosphere. Went here on date night with my partner, arrived at 9.30pm and they were still serving food till 10pm which was so handy that time of night. Highly recommend the Royal buttered chicken for main with pilau rice. However on this occasion I had the Lamb Tikka Masala with Pilau rice. My partner Chicken Madras with Pilau rice. We had poppadoms with the dips to go with mains. Starters were onion bhaji's and chicken pakora. So tasty from start to finish. Did not order dessert cause we were too stuffed to fit anymore in lol. We will definitely be back again to try more. Thanks again."

"definitiw will be back, eating and personal were excellent, especially the attention of the host tamara, and the waitress with red hair (sorry, I don't know their name.) it seems a little posh than most restaurants, but don't let them out, the prices were with the quality of service and eating on the point. would recommend to anyone I know."
