We ordered a Veg Triple Deal and it was delicious and generously portioned. The staff were very friendly and the food was prepared promptly. Lovely little low key spot for tasty and affordable food. There’s a small table to eat in, or you can takeaway.

We ordered chicken tikka in starters - we did ask for medium hot flavour but it was very mild and with no taste of spices at all.. I thought to give just 1 star but when we had mains of chicken tikka masala and paneer butter masala, it saved them and managed to get 3 more stars ... Pls try to lift up your game in starters !! Main course was good without any doubt ... Thanks Cheers

Ordered for delivery through their website. Food was fresh, delicious and fragrant and delivery was prompt. Ordering for delivery through their website instead of uber eats also gives you access to their cheap deal for 2 meals which is NOT offered on uber eats!

Went here with a small group (dine in) on a Friday night, then came back on the Saturday night to order take-away (for a larger group). Both nights the food was great and was ready speedily. On the second night, when I had many orders to take back to my group’s AirBnB, they very kindly drove me so I didn’t have to walk. Overall, great customer service and would happily go back again.

We ordered the Lamb Rohan Josh and Butter Chicken which were both delicious and fairly priced. Was a good dining experience overall in the small shop.
