Exquisite food and service on a busy Saturday evening. Children accommodated beautifully with separate menu and choice to serve them asap rather than wait for main meals. Extra plates added with ease during the meal. Food was superb. Service was friendly, helpful and efficient. Put simply, the best in The Hills!

Nevedya is always a wonderful place to visit, going with friends or alone. I've recently been twice in two weeks and had their fabulous Khichadi which is so heart and soul warming. The staff are amazing too, so warm and friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is lovely too, I always sit out the back in the garden where there are heaters, comfortable sitting and a gorgeous garden. Well done Nevedya, you rock!
