Okay, so I'll start with the basics. Food was amazing, service was good. Didn't wait long for starters or main and was tasty! Staff couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome and when asked, bagged up the left overs for my dog, exactly as asked!!! Great food, great local friendly environment, would highly recommend to family or friends passing through the area

Great Indian restaurant, eat in or take away the food is consistently good! Their delivery service is quick and efficient with food arriving piping hot and as good as eating in. Eating in though is the thing to do, and saves you washing up! Azii is your main man in the restaurant and nothing is too much trouble! It BYO booze and he will keep it refrigerated if needed. I am a chicken madras man, and they do it so well, tender chicken and well spiced. Azii is keen to get you to try his recommendations and often will let you have smaller portions so you can try something new! King prawn Jalfrezi is excellent too! And they know how to cook a nann bread, crispy base and fluffy bubbly top! The restaurant has recently been tastefully refurbished, and is always clean to the highest standards! This family run restaurant always delivers on quality and is great value for money !!

Had the takeaway a number of times, has been really tasty each time. Good quality food, and not too greasy. The service when collecting was really good and was treated very well. Would return!

We have always eaten the most excellent curry dishes here, the chefs cooking standards are very high whichever dish you may choose. Eating here is an experience not to be missed and the waiter service is excellent. Another bonus is that you can bring your own booze.
