Not much chicken but the sauce was the right consistency although was lacking in spice to make it a madras. Service was good although seemed alot of staff for size of the place. Restaurant ok apart from the sticky rug down the middle. 5 People - Starters, Mains, Drinks and Coffee's £70. Rating 5.5 / 10

From my knowledge, this place is recently renovated from the previous business. It's a very…read morespacious restaurant with lots of seating where you'd never feel crowded. Unfortunately, we were waiting at least a half hour from the time we ordered our food till we received it. I ordered the Turkey pie with wild mushrooms, and it was not what I was expecting. I expected a proper pie, not a bowl of the filling with some sort of puffed pastry topper. The flavor was ok, but I would probably order something else next time. A pleasant surprise was the toilets being the old school pull chain type.

Better known to regulars, as Blakey's Eastern Promise. This…read moreis by far the best Balti I have ever been to. There are around 10 Balti restaurants closer to our home but the journey is well worth it. The owner is a master at 'customer care' and really wants you to enjoy his food. You start your meal with complimentary papadums with pickles. Starters are many but my favourite is Tandoori mixed grill. For first timers, I would strongly recommend you asking to speak to the owner, who will be glad to spend time with you, discussing what dishes meet with your taste. He will go out of his way to meet your requirements and is quite prepared to move away from the menu by 'adding or taking away' ingredients. It is common for him to offer you a visit to his kitchens where he is proud to introduce you to the chefs and show you the food being prepared. (He is very very busy on Friday and Saturday nights and cannot spare as much time as a week night) There is a great selection of main courses but ask about the specials. If you are someone who enjoys taste, flavour, authenticity and you take a little time, you will love this restaurant !! The main is followed by complimentary coffees. My wife and I are regular visitors and book in advance to secure ourselves a booth (for privacy and intamacy). We have a great meal, we leave full, content and the bill is less than a three course meal for one in most retaurants.

I normally have sheekh kebabs or nargis kebabs & you always get 2. They always give you a couple of poppa doms and mint sauce.

By far the best restaurant in the area. Fantastic service and food.read more

Changed the decor from previous owners. Nice place, easy parking opposite the restaurant. Food was okay but it was soooo quiet in there! I think we where the only people in! Hope it picks up for them. Great service and lovely food.

Seen a few reviews for this place which were good and they were not wrong. When you first walk in…read morereally welcomed by staff got to choose where we want to sit, we had our drinks within minutes. Really fast good service by the staff. Food was really good. To start we had the mix started which was lamb chicken tikka and shish kebab. The only bad but was the lamb was abit tough. Always found that wherever I have had this starter the rest was lovely. For main I had a chicken balti which was really nice . Partner had a pathia said one the best he has had. Overall good restaurant friendly staff and good food. Only reason don't get five stars just not a child friendly place, the only thing you can get for kids is chicken nuggets and chips. Will be visting again soon.

The interior of this Indian restaurant always reminds me of Biff Tannen's apartment in Back to the…read moreFuture II. It is very eighties nouveau-flash-trash, with black and red leather, neon lighting and artworks of questionable taste. There are glass tables and mirrored walls. I always find myself distracted by the indoor fishpond. The food is really good, apparently the chef used to work for Indian royalty. I love the King Prawn Puree to start and the Chicken Tikka Dansak is reliably delicious. The Alachi is licensed, which makes a welcome change to some of the other local curry houses. The Alachi really go all out, pitching themselves a cut above the standard curry house. They have monthly themed evenings with live music and you can even hire their private limo for transport to and from the restaurant. Take-away is also available.
