    I don’t understand why this restaurant gets negative reviews. And it’s also the only sit down Indian restaurant in the area. Everything was delicious!

    Surly unfriendly service; sat us at a table that has a bar hanging over it. Recommended a dish that he he said was spicy; it wasn't; food was subpar at best. Very disappointed. Would never go back.

    It was the first time I have booked an Indian food restaurant for my colleagues and everything went very well. The service, the food, the accommodation to diverse dietary requirements such as allergies... All fantastic. Next time I will go with some friends. The location is nothing but ideal.

    Nice food, good service, pleasant ambience. Felt a bit rushed by staff who wanted to take away our plates before we were ready.

    This is a small restaurant and ideally they like a quick turn around. I ordered sea bass and they told me it would be 40 minutes. They clearly wanted me to order something that would be quicker. However, when it came it was delicious, a whole sea bass with delicate spicing. My companions had curries in bowls that looked slightly less generous. There are lots of different rice dishes to go with it - paella, lemon, vegetable and others. Desserts are commercial ice creams of various sorts. Recommended for a fast meal before going on somewhere not really a restaurant not spend a whole evening although that is what we did and it was fine.
