The starters were fine. Then one of our party got a long woman’s hair in her rice! In it, not on top. It ruined the night for myself and my Sons girlfriend. The worse bit was the manager sort of trying to deny it. Like a half accusation of foul play. Then I’m eating my king prawn dish which was a special but pretty tasteless and I think it’s the vein from the prawn but it’s another hair. A short one!! I didn’t think too much what type of hair it was. It made me feel sick and the food wasn’t that good in the first place, but I couldn’t eat any more. Very bland apart from the chilli chicken masala. Felt like we were in a barbers shop!! They took the cost of two mains and a side off the bill but I think the only thing that would have stopped me writing this was a full refund and an offer to come back for a complimentary meal at another time. That still wouldn’t have been enough. Really really disappointed and to top it all they forced a cheese nan on us, saying it’s better than Dishoom and it was vile. Soggy nan with mild cheddar. Where does that belong in an Indian? The bill still come to £35 a head with a few non drinkers and shared starters. The complimentary drink at the end just kept us there longer. Must try harder!!
Excellent atmosphere and very very friendly staff. No fancy gimmicks or shenanigans. All the food was delicious, the only thing I would add is the lamb dish I ordered contained cream which was not described on the menu. Where is this is not an issue for me, as an ex chef, It makes me nervous that they may be sending this to dairy free customers.
A very popular restaurant with a 5 star hygiene rating. Fair prices for a nice meal. Good service .
First time booked because of reviews, service quick bit to keen to rush you. Food very bland, no spice or flavour. So much red food colouring, not nice. Very expensive for bland food.
Love it here. Best around! Amazing food and amazing service. Always feel welcome and never disappointed. Highly recommend!!
