    First visit after a recommendation from friends who visit regularly. We went for lunch so menu was limited but the choices that were available had something for everyone. Our meal was superb probably now near the top of may restaurants we visit. I had chkn padora lamb Rogan Josh rice and Garlic nan to share. It was all delicious and good value for money even with an extra few quid for lamb. Can't wait until nxt visit. It's a busy place so I recommend to book just in case.

    Excellent two course lunch menu at £12.95. Good selection of veggie & chicken starters with veggie, chicken and lamb (£2.00 supplement) main dishes. Good attentive service. Our choice for lunch whenever we are in Glasgow.

    1st time here after having been recommended from several friends. It was outstanding. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable of the food and menu, some great recommendations (the lamb shank was off the scale good) and no pressure to order/eat/be moved on. Everything was excellent and I will be returning again and again. Thanks guys, great job.

    Had probably one of the best Indian dinners ever. Tandoori lamb chops, chicken tikka, papadom, garlic naan and raita. Was delicious and perfect portions and quality.
