Excellent prices for takeaway- a huge selection of pies (and some quiche!). If you are able, have lunch/dinner at the restaurant. You'll feel as if you've been transported back in time. It's friendly and homey- très rustique. The menu is simple and sparse, but with the quantity of pies on offer, what more do you need? Oh, and there's a full bar! I added a side of ratatouille to my meal and was not disappointed! What are you waiting for! Go get yourself a pie, or 4!!

This was the first Indian restaurant I tried in London and it did not disappoint! I've been told…read morethat the Indian food in London is super authentic, and while I've never been to India myself, I can totally believe that the Indian food here is very authentic. We did family style, so everyone ordered a dish and we just grabbed a bit of everyone's food. We got biryani, butter chicken, korma, and everything was great. My one advice would be to get the basket of flavored naan. They have a selection of Naan breads and they were all delicious. Service is a bit slow, but they also have a lot of customers.

Don't know exactly what it's called but we started with the chip like crackers to dunk into the 4 sauces that was already in front of us. Each sauce was unique and had a different flavor profile so I never got bored of eating the same thing. We also each got naan which I highly recommend the chilli cheese naan! We also shared the karahi paneer which was cheese mixed in a curry with a ton of spices and paneer shahi korma which was a tomato based curry. Each one was super flavorful and delicious! While it was vegetarian, we were more than full with the carbs of the naan. I highly recommend this place. One of the best Indian places I've been to!

The restaurant was not busy. Not once did anyone apologize for the wait. The food when it came while hot was average.

We had to ask for it to be removed which our server did (and I did apologize to her as it wasn't her fault as she had just started her shift) but I refuse to pay a tip for shoddy service. Even when we were leaving they didn't thank us for coming or apologize for their error. I've been to other branches and can honestly say I won't be returning to that one

Took ages for us to get drinks and menus. When the food came, I had the goats cheese balls which were fine but had no seasoning at all. The other half made the same comment about the vegetable soup. Two of us had the beef and yorkshire pudding, which tasted ok but the meat was really tough. The knives we had were blunt. The broccoli was undercooked and the parsnips and carrots way over. Yorkshire puddings unremarkable. Also it came served with mash and roast potatoes, which was a bit strange. The other two had the corn fed chicken which they liked. Puddings: the ice cream came with 6 different toppings, which you served yourself; nice touch. The sticky toffee pudding was demolished. Not a word of thanks or enquiry about the food when we left. Very odd; like they didn't really care, which was certainly the impression you got in general from the service. Will not return.

It is always interesting…read morewhen traveling to explore local restaurants and to find a true gem like this is exceptional. From the get-go when we entered the restaurant, we were welcomed and the staff was very attentive. They change their menu up often and there were several good options. Being low carb boy, I was looking at the choices, but after our waiter detailed their signature veal dish, we were hooked. It was outstanding and really blew our minds. True meaty goodness that was one of the most phenomenal things I have had in a long time. We are tempted to return just to have that dish again. It is a ball of veal stuffed with ham, Italian sausage and fontina cheese. It is covered in a peppercorn sauce that was incredibly yummy. I cannot recommend this dish more. Truly worth the trip to try. We tend to avoid sugar, but, it was a very special evening, so we tried the Eton Mess and were not disappointed. Not too sweet, with strawberries and blueberries immersed in rich, heavy cream that has roasted almonds and pieces of meringues. I am sure it blew my carb count for the day. I look forward to my return and encourage you to check it out.

This is a fantastic restaurant. I have been here 3 times and had new things everytime (not…read moresomething I do often). The menu is amazingly varied with choices for any taste. There are good vegetarian choices, but plently of good meat dishes. Some of the meals are quite unusual: I have had Venison and Rabbit there. The meals are not cheap (roughly £12-15 per main meal) but I can honestly say they are worth every penny, so worth a special trip. The atmosphere is quiet and cosy; perfect for a romantic dinner. Although I am sure they could cope with bigger groups, they didn't seem to be set up for it so you may need to book ahead. If there are just 2 you should be find without booking on a week night, but I wouldn't risk it on the weekend. The staff are friendly and attentive and will make recommendations from the menu if you want. The wine list is extensive and (althought I am not a wine expert) seemed good. I have always been happy with my choice.

Just to make it clear: this is not a prestigious restaurant: the table was cleaned after I took a sit, soft drinks were put into storage just around the point I was sitting. Something kept beeping every half a minute or so - low battery fire alarm? The young waitress thought there was no free soft drink with the starter I was ordering while it was clearly mentioned in the menu. Aside the above minor points, the place was busy even on a Wednesday night. I picked traditional Nepalese dishes, bit unusual the wheat / flour mix I added a photo off, sticky texture , mouth-watering lamb curry, spicy sides, and a free mango juice that you have to drink straight from the carton with a straw. Really tasty food, friendly service, nice touch with the dishes pictures in the menu. I would try new dishes in the future!!!

Very large dining areas and if you step up to the bar area, you can see into the very clean and well kept kitchen. Menus on the glass tables with rather odd 'coffee-themed' placemats. Service was extremely fast and my Mixed Seafood Noodles and Vegetarian Spring Rolls were both delivered to my table about 4 minutes after ordering. The noodles were good, but they needed a bit of the chilli paste to bring out the flavor. The spring rolls were very hot and crispy, as they should be. The usual beers are available - Tiger, Tsingtao - plus a small selection of spirits. Plus canned sodas. This restaurant has been here for decades, as I learned when I engaged the very nice lady in chat. She said 37 years. Amazing. I read elsewhere that they had some fire damage in 2008, but you can't tell. The place looks great.

When I do go I prefer sitting in since the atmosphere is nice with the music and the presentation of the food but if you take out as a student you get 15% off. Some of the dishes are served with heating candles underneath so it stays nice and hot throughout your meal. It's a bit unassuming on the outside and usually not very busy but it is 5 star rated and very clean. The dishes are around 8-9 pound for mains. If you go on Tuesday (Curry night) for 9.95 you can get a starter (I love the chicken or lamb) main, vegetable dish and either rice or naan (I believe they make the best naan out of all the indian restaurants I've tried in my area) The garlic naan is so delicious! Sometimes I just get some naan from there on my way home because it's so great. I wish they made them bigger since they're roughly the size of a personal pizza from pizza hut, so it's expensive on its own (about 2 pounds). They do loads of special offers so check out their website for them and some photos of the place. It's really close to the university, only a short walk from the Shinfield Road entrance.
