"After reading all the good reviews we decided to try this restaurant and had high expectations We arrived to not a particularly warm welcome the waitress told us the specials were chicken, steak and veal and walked off no mention of how they were cooked or what sauces they came with and no prices after asking how the veal came the waitress had to go into kitchen and ask the chef who shouted out how they were cooked and the waitress then said did you hear that? we decided to just order off of the menu we ordered drinks to start with (a bottle of rose wine plonked on the table not even opened) when the lady came to take our order we asked if we could have a few minutes to finish our pre dinner drinks it was obviously a problem for her that we wanted to wait a short while and after being asked for about the fifth time we felt under pressure to place our order (even though the restaurant was half empty) whilst the pasta dishes were nice the garlic bread left a lot to be desired basically just a toasted slice of white dry bread as soon as we had finished our main course our plates were taken away and the bill put on the table we were not asked if we wanted anything else as we still had half a bottle of wine left we didn’t settle the bill straight away as we were enjoying our wine we lost count of the times they tried to ask us to pay again under immense pressure we paid and felt like we had to leave it was not a relaxing evening nor were we made to feel welcome. This restaurant specialises in pasta and pizza and we heard the waitress telling tow guys who wanted pizza that they only had enough dough left for one pizza they had run out and it was only 8.30! Overall our experience of this restaurant was very disappointing very rushed, unfriendly staff, no niceties and certainly not a relaxing evening we will not be returning."

"From the moment me and my partner entered this restaurant we felt a very warm welcome even though it was our first time here. The ambience and atmosphere was perfect. The chairs was comfortable (coming from someone who has back pains) and the tables nicely dressed in white linen. We got given our menus the and the waiter gave us popadums with an excellent selection of dips (try their tasty mint sauce it's different from most other Indian restaurants). Our drinks was prepared fresh and at our table within moments. We ordered king prawn puree, mixed grill, lamb biryani with dal and a side of aloo gobi. They didn't skimp on the portion sizes nor the amount of prawn/chicken/lamb. Everything tasted amazing and very fresh. As my partner finished her glass of mango lassi, the waiter had carefully brought over a glass of water and we didn't even have to ask (read my partners mind well). Very professional and attentive to their customers. Would highly recommend. Parking: Lots of parking available outside the restaurant which is all free."

"I'm a Curry-holic, I travel and leave honest reviews. I tell staff members when ordering food that I leave feedback on Google. So I asked for reduced Ghee in my order and was pleasantly informed that no ghee is used just oil so I emphasised that I didn't want my order floating in oil. Complimentary poppadoms were crispy, fresh and accompanied by fresh onion salad and slightly tangy raita. Garlic and Coriander Keema naan was tasty and keema meat evenly spread inside the naan, there was very little garlic taste though. Meat Samosas were excellent, not deep fried and well filled. Not oozing grease. (Recommended). Both Chicken Pathia and Chilli and Garlic Chicken were nicely cooked with depths of flavour. BUT..... This was after mopping the layers of oil from the containers. The portion sizes were surprising, cartons only half full. Luckily I had ordered a selection of dishes. Big eaters will have to order portions of rice to pad out individual main courses."

"Food did not live up expectations the prawn dish the prawns were tough. The Lamb dish was shredded lamb meat rather than pieces of meat very under spiced. Also they could not provide a priced itemised receipt claiming they need them for VAT so will not be going back.
