I hadn't been here in over 5 years and was so glad to know the owners are the same and the quality of the food was amazing as always, it is a take away place and they have indian sweets as well as indian snacks, they do a few specialty dishes which just can't be found anywhere else. I would definitely come back here. You can also order over the phone for their specialty dishes so they can reserve it for you as they only make a certain amount a day, great if your travelling up just for the day and want to ensure the products you want are there.

The staff are always friendly and will always try and answer your questions or recommend a product for your needs. The best thing about this shop is the food that's made on site each day, a lovely variety of veggie snacks great for lunch. They do veggie sausage rolls, samosas, pizza slices, pasties as well as fresh sandwiches in an awesome array of interesting flavours. You pay a decent price and get something filling and more healthy than something from your average sandwich shop. They also do lovely cakes and all of their tasty food is displayed in the windows with handy labels so if you're veggie or vegan or have food sensitivities then you know which one is right for you! Big thumbs up, although I can't say I liked the mushroom and tofu pasty I had a while ago, but everything else is fab!
