    Can't wait to go back, I can honestly say that this was amazing. Beautiful decor good ambience. Staff really knowledgeable, gave excellent menu reccomdations, very attentive. Finally the food was out of this world, so tasty, and light, had a fried squid and chilli chicken as starters, not greasy. The signature dishes as suggested, charcoal lamb and chicken Handi so aromatic, plenty of meat, best Indian meal we've ever had. Food and drinks prices reasonable too.

    Enjoyed 3 tasty starters.Particularly liked the broccoli one,which was spicy,but just the right level for me.Shared 2 main courses between the three of us which was just about enough.The Ragastani lamb was gorgeous,delicately flavoured.

    What a great find! All the reviews I read before booking were spot on. Lovely greeting and menu explanation upon arrival. Very attentive staff (filling water glasses/wiping table between courses etc) and superb food. We will definitely be back!

    The small plates were fantastic! We were 3 vegetarians and 1 meat eater. The 3 of us shared 6 small plates and it was absolutely perfect! The waiter was great and advised us on what to get. He was very funny and made the evening!
