    We got food poisoning and the cocktail was not up to scratch, the pre-made mix did not meet the price tag. The food was really lovely nonetheless

    The food was tasty and good portion sizes . The prices were a bit steep but it helped with the Fork Festival discount.

    The food was delicious! From starters to desserts - 10/10. All the flavors were fresh, new and left me and my husband craving for more! Our order was tandoori broccoli, kofta curry, naan and raspberry tart.

    Skewers of marinated chargrilled fish with fresh herbs and green chutney, alongside slices of lime, and large chargrilled prawns garnished with microgreens, pink radish slices, and a drizzle of green sauce.
    A selection of Indian dishes featuring a rich tomato-based curry with tender meat, chargrilled chicken garnished with herbs, fluffy white rice, and golden spiced potatoes.

    The food was lovely. Especially the chicken Tikka and baby aubergine curry. Portions were a generous size. I loved the decor also.

    The food is exceptional. The service is very good although we visited on a busy night. I was slightly disappointed with with the FORK booking and 50% discount program which was confusing at least, and has left me with several seperate receipts to claim expenses, and to cap it all 50% didnt seem to make the overall bill much cheaper. This said I would visit again for sure...

    A wonderful experience, invited a friend from abroad who requested Indian food, so was worried about the standard of service and food, pleasantly surprised! 10/10, the service was outstanding, Raja made food suggestions and we all had the best experience. Pricey but worth it! The lassi’s were small, the main course was quite big for two people!

    Excellent food especially the fish curry, the spinach and the desserts, menu interesting and varied. Service attentive and informative but not intrusive at all excellent ambience on weekday lunchtime as quiet, busy and noisy on weekends apparently.

    Having booked a 945 table (2145-2345) through The Fork, it was unpleasant to be told that we had arrived just as the restaurant was closing, and that we had to order very quickly. The supper itself was inventive and delicious.

    A blend of greens with a creamy pale green sauce, topped with thinly sliced pink radishes and drizzled with a golden-orange puree, garnished with small green leaves for a light and refreshing flavor profile.
    Grilled meat served on a rich orange sauce with crispy potato strips, accompanied by a creamy herb-seasoned soup and steamed rice topped with a light sauce.
    Creamy yogurt-based drink with orange swirl and a frothy milky beverage topped with ground pistachios.
    Creamy yogurt base topped with tangy green chutney, sweet tamarind sauce, fresh herbs, pomegranate seeds, crispy wafers, orange slivers, and vibrant carrot, offering a delightful mix of flavors.

    Every dish we tried had something new and unique to offer. The highlights were coconut and pistachio lassi, broccoli starter, ghee rice with dal makhani, and rasmalai milk cake. Although it's not a Michelin star restaurant, it is at those standards and even surpasses some of them, arguably.

    Booked for 6 people at lunch through the fork. Paid 20 pounds per person deposit. The restaurant had trouble finding my booking (and payment). I had to show them the app, transaction on the bank app. They eventually discovered the booking went in their dinner slots (?) excellent food and atmosphere

    The food was decent overall. We liked few dishes, others were ok. The price is definitely on higher side to what it offers in terms of food and ambience.

    The food was interesting, varied and delicious. However there were a couple of niggles. My friend wanted a G&T but they insisted it had to be a double, so she went without. They also told us that under our 50% deal we had to each order either a starter and a main meal or a main meal and a dessert - that wasn’t at all clear from the info at the time of booking. We ordered other food from the menu, for example papadums and puris and then in fact when the bill arrived they took 50% off everything. And then finally they asked us to leave the table, saying it was booked again for 8.15pm but there was no sign of those diners.
