The food was great but a few mistakes were made and quickly rectified (there was 9 of us) except for the hair in the pickle. Personally I would go back without reservation.

Really glad we tried this place for the first time. Friendly staff, prompt service and really really tasty food. This is much more authentic than most Indian restaurants - you can taste the fresh spices and the depth of flavour in the food. Definitely recommend the tandoori lamb chops and, if you like something hotter, the Fish Punjabi Madras will make your taste buds dance.

I have to say sadly this was the worst Indian meal I’ve had in my life and indeed the worst meal anywhere. Spent entire day as only there for one day from Essex choosing meal place. Hugely fancied Indian. The pictures on the wall before entry are nothing like what is served both in the bowls or the food so am doubtful it’s their photos. The onion bhajis were carrot pakora mushy and horrid especially when expecting a crispy onion you receive orange flat mush. The mint dip was potent and bitter I believe def off as sour. I’ve been eating prawn biryani since my teens now in my 50’s , it looked awful like somebody’s left overs (I found 7 tiny rock hard frozen prawns) I left it completely .. my companion had mushroom rice there were literally no mushrooms in there, he said he thought it was just white boiled till he discovered a few tiny tiny little pieces at the bottom. The Peshawari was fine as were the poppadoms (but who can get that wrong). His chicken passnda was standard no comment good or bad just filled a hole. Nothing was displayed nicely the bread was actually on the table not a plate. We rushed last minute to a show then checked bill at the hotel after as realised not way could what we had be £70. It was one drink each too. We checked website and FB page there were 3 differing pages 3 lots of prices and every one added up to £49 total. I mailed them when I returned to Essex to confirm I needed refund as we must have had another tables bill, email returned saying menu inside is not the same all the others are takeaway, this was not headed up as such. This is all false advertising both by the lovely displays and photos on the door and on 2 websites !!! And pricing for sure. Sadly worst meal paid hugely over the top for a dreadful meal, have never in my life left an eatery feeling hungry as couldn’t stomach the food. There was just far too much to complain about while we were there it was just pay and leave fast and get to our show. The final straw I feel was a takeaway pot being bought to our table with murky water and a dirty sponge to wipe the table before we finished our drink. I appreciate we all have different standards but having run food establishments for many years I feel to pay so high aswell for something so bad has to be mentioned. Were it one thing fine no need for a rough review but literally 98% of this experience was just the worst. Feel this family/company need to raise their game a) standard and presentation b) honesty in pricing and public info sites to be updated . Sadly not used to giving bad reviews but so disappointed at such a high price too for such an awful meal. Nice enough people and I’m sure others are perfectly happy with their local but feedback of all kinds in my experience also once in my role as a mystery shopper can only enhance and improve.

I informed the restaurant of a dietary restriction when I made the reservation. I also reconfirmed the dietary restriction when I ordered. Unfortunately, every dish I ordered was served with small amounts of the substance. This could have been an honest mistake, but I did not receive an explanation for why I ordered plain white rice and instead received rice with small amounts of the substance. The host was polite and acknowledged his mistake, offering to reorder my dish (but not my companion’s dish, which we had wanted to share). Unfortunately, the new dish that appeared as a substitute was too salty and had a bitter aftertaste. In my humble opinion, the curries are mediocre. I did not my enjoy my meal.

Very good service, and food was excellent. We had the Tandoori dinner for 2, and it was very tasty. Every dish was good and we enjoyed it. The lamb and chicken were both top notch. The mixed pakora plate was great. Staff very friendly. Would eat again!

The food is ok and some parts like rice and chicken tikka very good. Avoid the spinach bhaji if you want fresh spinach. If you get the 20% offer on food from The Fork do the maths before the bill comes!

We both enjoyed our food, the place was warm and inviting, we got an order for two but felt we could have tried a couple more dishes to make it value for money, my downside which I hate is the people when paying took my bank card from me and put into the machine and hand it back, I really hate other people touching my bank card as it’s personal, especially with covid being about
