Fabulous dinner on Easter Sunday at Amara. Delicious food especially the dosai, happy friendly staff and pleasant decor. The Sunday manager was great, we appreciated his chat with us and his excellent service and attention to detail - he deserves a pay raise! We thoroughly enjoyed our authentic meal.

Slightly pricey and needs some sound absorbing adjustments to the interior so people can hear each other speak, but very tasty food, great service and family friendly.

The staff are very good. The food is delicious. The only issue is the noise due to all the hard surfaces which makes it difficult to hold a conversation even with a group of 4.
