    This restaurant was recommended to me and I was not disappointed. My first impression was very good as I was treated very warmly and made to feel so welcome. Drinks were recomended and served almost immediately and menus were provided. The biggest problem was which to choose from the wonderful selection. The food was served by our waiter who was very polite.....the food was incredible, probably some of the finest Indian food I have ever eaten. I will make a regular trip to this restaurant when I'm in Cardiff.....well worth the visit and well worth the money.

    One starter was of poor quality then had to wait an hour for main meal, people who were there after us had their meals first. We have been there a few times and the food was lovely. Unfortunately the stands have dropped.

    The service even at lunch was perfect. Nice to talk to staff who really know their food.Portionss were so generous and full of flavour surprises. We had a fish dish and a lamb shank main. Not for the feint hearted or fussy eater. A wonderful experience finished with a signed cookery book by the chef/ owner. We will return.
