The food we tasted was really delicious, the serving amazing, our kids loved the place!

Delicious food, attentive service, very good price. We had bryani, sangria, various sizzlers, naan breads etc and paid 100 EUR for 5 persons.

This place is fantastic. Right from the start, the staff made us feel welcome—we had a great chat and started off with some Indian Cobra Beer, which was pretty decent. For the food, I had the Dhansak curry and my girlfriend went for the Mango curry. Both dishes were excellent. Even though I’m not usually a fan of mango, I could tell her curry was really well made. We also shared two naans—garlic and onion—which were light in flavor and paired perfectly with the curries. Alongside that, we ordered one portion of rice. What really stood out was the service. We initially asked for two portions of rice, but our waiter suggested starting with one since we also had the naans—and he was absolutely right. We left completely full and appreciated the honest recommendation rather than just taking our order at face value. As for the price, I’ve seen a few reviews mentioning it being a bit high, but I honestly don’t get it. The prices were very reasonable—if anything, a bit low for the quality of food and service we received. I gave the atmosphere 4 stars simply because it wasn’t anything particularly unique—but if I could give 6 stars overall, I would. Based on 1) great prices, 2) excellent food, 3) friendly, honest staff, and 4) a really enjoyable dining experience.

Hadn't been here for a while but decided we needed a curry! Didn't disappointed.. Food was delicious, bursting with flavours. service as always friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Food was good. Service a bit slow, but i would go again. The josh rogan lamb Was good. The naan bread also fresh and hot. Next time i want to try the mango lassi, which they didn't have available in their home made quality this time. They accept cards and the Restaurant was quite full, when i came.

Went for an early dinner so outside seating was quiet. Service was good, food extremely tasty. Starter of chicken pakora wasnt as back home and a bit chewy , so opt for something else.Very reasonable prices

Had an amazing meal. Four of us , one of us in a wheelchair. The staff couldn’t have done enough for us. The food was delicious. It was a relaxed atmosphere and the service was first class. I ordered a Bhuna and asked for it to be not too spicy. It was perfect, spicy but not too hot. The server was very knowledgeable and considerate . He didn’t even need to write down our order. The Bombay potatoes and saag aloo were delicious . All in all an amazing night out . We will definitely be back xx
