Solid Indian food in a trendy, modern environment…read more Boyfriend and I came here with my stepdad for a Christmas Eve feast, and did we ever feast! We ordered a few different dishes, mostly to share including eggplant curry, a paneer curry, and chicken with two sauces. We started by sharing the ostrich - super unique, but it was expensive and difficult to discern that it was a meat I hadn't tried before. The curries were tasty and well flavoured, as was the rice we got on the side. My stepdad's dish came with rice already on a neat, complete plate. The naan was pretty good, although not my favourite I've ever had. We had chai to finish the meal, which was a bit over-creamy for me, but that's likely due to Canadian milk not having as high a fat percentage as English milk, for the most part. A good, solid Indian meal in an enjoyable atmosphere.

The reason this restaurant doesn't have many ratings is because Europeans post to Trip Advisor, not…read moreto Yelp. Hopefully Americans will see this post and realize that. On Trip Advisor, this restaurant had over 230 ratings with a rating of 4.5/5. My wife and I had the Chicken Masala, a chicken curry dish, a cauliflower potato veggie, and a coconut and almond naan- Peshwari Naan. And it was all excellent. Give this restaurant a chance. They have friendly, great service with delicious food. It was a welcome change from the "typical" English food that we had eaten while in London.

Food was amazing! Service was a bit more leisurely than we usually like but it was a lovely evening.read more

We found this place via Qype and despite only having 1 review, we felt compelled to give it a go…read more It currently has no front signage ( local councillors debating the price of coffee in the canteen instead of granting this poor bloke planning permission for a sign) so I will point out it is OPPOSITE the main POST OFFICE in Leamington spa. We used Spicy affair as a stop over for food on the way back from Thorpe park and I'm glad we took the small detour off the M40. What a great place. All the food is freshly prepared and whilst this may take slightly longer, it is well worth the wait. At the point of ordering, we were given the option of strength /flavour and spice..something you simply cannot do when using a base dish in a pan. Needless to say the food was stunning, good portion sizes and very attentive staff. We had the Tikka Masala( teenagers :) ) Chicken Nawabi and Dal Taaka( lentils). All good consistency and polished off quickly. The Naan Bread was light and not doughy as can happen in so many Indian restaurants. It wasn't as busy as I would have thought on a friday night but if justice has anything to do with it then it will succeed. Councillors sort your life out. Readers walk past the other Indian's on this street and venture in here. We live in Leeds and have our fair share of quality gaffs up here, none surpass this though.

The room temperature was just nice!!! I thought to mention this as most of the Indian places I have visted before used to be very cold. I ordered Chicken Tikka for the starters and Chicken Madras for the mains. I must admit that the both the item were cooked very well and to my taste. I have been to number of Indian Restaurant as I love my curry but what they offered was just completly out of the world. Will surely go there again and again... will strongly recommend!!! I have given them 4* as the place was still getting ready and the music was not there. Food was superb!!!

I let Jane and Oli do most of the ordering, since they are regulars and not everything translates into American English and English English the same way. We started with papadum and relish tray, and a couple of Kingfishers (on draft). For the table we ordered pillau rice, naan (2 kinds, but can't remember which 2), and saag paneer. I chose the Hozor Ki Pasandwalla Murghi because I wanted to try to pronounce it, and it's one of Oli's favorites. It's thinner sauce with nice heat and a good amount of peppers, onions, and tomatoes. He chose the Chicken Laknavi, and Jane chose the Chicken Pasanda. Everything was nicely spiced - heat but still flavor. Portions were generous - we probably only needed half as much, but we couldn't resist all the flavors. We were treated to a drink afterwards with our bill, and Bailey's was a perfect digestif with the chocolate. On our way out, we were given a 2019 calendar as a holiday present. I'm looking forward to another delicious and friendly meal when I'm back in Oxford!

The restaurant itself is on the Hagley Road just a little bit up from Five Ways in a large white building. You walk in and are instantly hit by the grandeur of the place with marble, statues and artwork all over the restaurant and reception areas. We needed to wait for a table so were given a buzzer and were invited to take a seat at the bar. We were quickly seated and shown the food menus after about 10 minutes.....when you don't ave a reservation I think thats pretty good! The food is very much what you would expect from a curry house with a huge list of classic curry dishes and starters. We went for popadoms and dips to start....I then went for chicken pakora and shish kebabs as my main.....I had already eaten before I left the house so was just being greedy at this point....this was my attempt at having something healthier haha. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious and the prices were really reasonable! Both starters were only around £3.50 a plate and were a good size portion! I was going to be super harsh and give this place four stars due to a slightly dirty menu and the fact the tables are pretty close together but can you really mark somewhere down for being busy and popular? The staff here cannot do enough for you and I think its a great touch that the chefs bring out the food! If you want a curry....at a reasonable price.....in an interesting setting...why not give this place a go.
