Outstanding service levels. Managed to squeeze us in without a booking during a busy time. Excellent staff who are kind and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious - my only problem is I only have the one stomach otherwise I'd be there all day! Very, very lucky to have this place so nearby.

We had a lovely meal here last night, turned up on a whim and were well accommodated. Staff were friendly and the food was fabulous, passed the naan test easily (naan is always a good indicator of overall quality) and we left well fed and happy.

My first time here and I loved it! I really fancied some vegetables so went for something different today and it definitely hit the spot. I marked down the service and atmosphere as I was the only person in the restaurant but this would be different on a busy night I'm sure but reviewing it on food alone it's definitely a 5* and I will definitely be coming back again

This was a last minute christmas day booking after our original choice had let us down, and all I can say is I am glad that they did! This was by far, the best christmas meal I have ever experienced, and I have been eating out on christmas day for the last 25 years! Staff were attentive, friendly and professional. The food was outstanding, dietary needs were met, portion size was more than I could eat, and I watched my very fussy son completely clear his plate. Thank you guys for giving us a great Xmas experience!!
