    In a town where there are so many curry houses of varying degrees of quality, Cellars has been a…read moreconsistently good choice for many years now. Cellars is based on Lower High Street and takes its name from the fact that most of the seating is down in the cellar of the building. There were 9 of us in our party last night and this worked really well as we had a whole little alcove to ourselves, however it can be a little too intimate when several smaller parties are put in the same area. The menu is full of your standard curry house choices plus some special dishes. We shared poppadoms and dips to start before moving on to main courses. My king prawn pathia with pilau rice was delicious, really flavourful without being too spicy. Service was attentive and our food and drinks all arrived quickly. The bill came to £16 each including a tip and we all left saying that we'd really enjoyed our meal. I'm sure it won't be long before I'm back!

    Indian restaurants tend to be a bit hit and miss, but Cellars Cuisine was actually a bit of a…read moresurprise. Though the waiters weren't necessarily attentive 100% of the time, when they realised we required something, they were more than happy to get whatever we needed straight away. We were offered drinks immediately, which arrived within a minute and then popadoms with dips were brought for us to fill the hunger gap before our starters arrived. Only two of us ordered starters, but there was plenty to go around! Mains arrived quickly and the waiters offered to serve the food for us. Lovely, traditional dishes, bustling atmosphere and not too badly priced either. Negatives - The bill was a little slow to arrive, but the place was heaving by that point, so we gave them the benefit of the doubt. Also, our table was facing the corridor leading into the main area, which made those of us sitting opposite feel a bit uncomfortable with our backs to the entirity of the restaurant! A lovely evening all in all though and would definitely visit again.

    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.

    We used to eat here a lot, always good value with some excellent dishes. Havn't been for a while…read morebut we can recommend it.

    I have walked past this naff named restaurant with its less than impressive entrance a few times…read moreand uncertain of what would await I hadn't ventured in. However last Saturday I picked up the courage and decided to give it a go purely because I wanted somewhere close to the leisure centre where I had to drop off & pick up our daughter within an hour & a half. Up the long narrow stairs my wife & I found a clean and freshly decorated restaurant. It is perhaps a little cold with its painted plaster walls and laminate floor and suggest a few soft furnishings wouldn't go amiss. It was early, 6.00pm on a warm evening and I was surprised to see three other tables occupied, a good sign so early. The staff seemed genuinely pleased to see us, they made us welcome and were eager to please. Unusually the TS is licensed but you are welcome to take your own although I'm not sure this was meant to incl a 2l bottle of lemonade as I noticed on one table. There's plenty to choose from on the menu, overall the prices are very reasonable but the specials although tempting may be a fraction overpriced The popadoms and selection of dips were better than average with our starters of onion bhaji & veg pakora arriving almost before we had finished them. Both were very good nicely spiced with a fresh & varied side salad. The main courses also arrived promptly. The chicken tikka Rajastani to which I added spinach was very good, hot and tasty. My wife enjoyed her chicken tikka tawa, although it wasn't sizzling as often served. In taste it was similar to a mild version of the Rajastani. One criticism is that the chicken tikka in both dishes was on the dry side which bothered my wife more than me. The garlic fried rice and garlic nan were both very good but the portion of limp frozen chips was a bit meagre. Surprisingly we found room for a desert and shared a banana fritter with ice cream which was excellent. In my opinion 3 stars wouldn't have done it justice so I have given it 3.5 which gets rounded up. it would be a genuine 4 stars if they upped the decor, slowed the service slightly and addressed the issues with the chicken & chips. Don't be put off by the frankly naff name or entrance, it is worth a try.
