Staff were friendly and unobtrusive, and the food was fantastic. The carrot starter - who knew the humble carrot could taste so good. The cast iron fillet steak was so tender and full of flavour. On the pricier side, but you get what you pay for, and portion sizes were generous.

Excellent food . We ordered chicken wings and prawns . Both were full of flavours and succulent. In mains we ordered butter chicken and bihari lamb. The best butter chicken I had in recent past . Smoky twist was great. The only disappointing was the rice . We ordered bhune pyaz wala rice but it didn’t have single trace of onion. Remember you will have customers who know what pyaz means 😊
