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.

The staff were all very attentive and helpful. Food was amazing. We have eaten at lots of Indian restaurants and this one shines above the rest. There were tea light warmers to keep the food hot and it was all served piping hot in copper bowls. Plenty of sauce and rice served with our meals. The naan were slightly dry but still good. A glass of wine was £3.75 and tasted fine. They brought us over a drink of our choice on the house after we had paid the bill. We had a whiskey, baileys, a coke and a lemonade. Very kind and polite. Highly recommend.

But the food was delicious, large drinks selection, an over abundant amount of choices on a vast set of menus. But overall standard things like Biryani, Tikka Marsalla and lots of Curry options. Basically very traditional fare. I chose the Lamb rubbed in Tikka in the Balti style. The deep black pan makes for a rich , reduced sauce that has plenty of tomato and rich chilies that come on slowly. Good stuff. I tried for the first time a Cobra beer, which as the story goes is a bit ale-smooth but still very refreshing for taking the heat off of a curry. For dessert I tried the Mango Tropical which was a layer of dairy (frozen yogurt?) with mango ice cream. It was all frozen including the fruits on top. This was a slight disappointment. Overall this place is a winner, and provides great service, a classy ambience and so many meal options.

The onion bhaji's, however, were very dry and crispy as being under warming lights isn't conducive to a quality bhaji! The meat based dishes were tasty but the chicken based dishes left a lot to be desired. The reason for this was clear; they use cheap spongy chicken, the stuff that has been injected with water and has a very distinctive texture. Having said this my brother said he hadn't even noticed, but then he'll eat anything! The selection of deserts was impressive, with fresh fruits and rice pudding which was very nice and stodgy. All in all, an impressive array for a buffet let down by the low quality chicken used in all the dishes.

We've tried various curries and sides from here, including the korma, butter chicken, rogan, jalfrazi, biryani, veggie curry, sag aloo, and a few different naans. No complaints about any of the flavours with these curries! Their peshwari naan is packed with coconut and sultanas and goes really well with the more mild curries. They usually give us extra papadoms when we order them too. For takeaway, I'd recommend booking online if you want to eat early as they are often very busy at opening. We will continuing being regulars here!

And old pub converted into this fabulous Indian restaurant and takeaway. A full car park which is always a good sign, diners packed into the dining room noshing away at bowls of golden curry, fluffy rice and fresh crisp naan breads. There where four of us and we had booked because quite honestly you have to. I'd be very surprised if you got a table if you'd just walked in off the street. Again another very good sign. We where greeted by a friendly member of staff and shown to our table. Drinks orders where taken and poppadoms brought to the table. The pickles that accompanied the poppadoms where delicious. Not too sure if they where made in house or not I'm guessing not, but either way they tasted good. We did have starters and with quite an extensive collection there is a lot to choose from. I had the king prawn butterfly. A deliciously perfectly cooked king prawn fried in golden breadcrumbs and served with a small side salad. For the curry then, I had a lamb rogan josh. Quite a mild dish with only a little spice added. To accompany that I had a keema rice and a couple of chapattis. The rice dish is enough for two to share as the curry itself is quite filling. But it was a lovely accompaniment. Not too overpowering with the spiced meat and not too overloaded with onion they got the balance just right. The rogan josh was delightful. It's the first time I've had it and I was impressed. Delicately flavoured and packed with tomato and onion. The sauce was really tasty there just wasn't enough of it to dip the bread in. The meat itself was nice a little tough for my liking but still very nice. The chapattis where beautifully cooked, fresh and hot strait out of the tandoor they where perfect. Not too small you think what's the point. And not too bit you think what am I going to do with this? The meal was finished off nicely with complimentary liquors. We decided not to go for dessert because we'd had such a good meal there was no more room. The service in this restaurant is very good. The staff are friendly, polite and helpful. They are only to happy to recommend a dish to you especially if you a first time curry eater. The restaurant itself is very contemporary, spacious and inviting. I'd highly recommend this place to any curry lover or someone who wants to go to a curry house for the first time. I shall definitely be going back in the not to distant future.
