    First impressions were very positive. Restaurant is pretty, welcoming and nicely spaced. Staff were super friendly and worked together so there was no waiting for your server to be available. The food was fab. So tasty and light ( proves you don’t need lots of ghee ).

    Very attentive experience from start to end. I had a glass of water which was hardly empty for 2 minutes at a time as a waiter was constantly at the table refilling without me even asking. Best service I’ve ever had, best Indian food I’ve ever had

    Booked a table For 6 people. The food was basic and not very good. Chicken tikka was not done in the clay oven. Food was cold. The curry sauce was bland. Would I go again. Not for me.

    The lamb korma was too spicy, a korma is not supposed to be spicy, a Korma sauce is usually light coloured but this was dark , Service was excellent, nice inside restaurant , toilet wasn’t great, 50% off food.
