The staff/waiters will converse with you whilst you order and also make recommendations on if you're not sure between a Madras and a Vindaloo, and will also make notes of any adjustments to your food, (such as no onion, or whatever). Softly lit, and with native music playing most of the time, this is definatly a place to consider for an authentic Indian meal. Street parking available.

The staff are generally attentive, although only if the restaurant is fairly quiet. Having eaten here on two busy occassions we were left waiting for almost 10 minutes to simply make a drink order. This should be offered immediately on seating in my view, having worked in restaurants. The staff also seemed intent to get food out extremely quickly in between courses. Some on our table hadn't even finished their starters when the mains were literally thrust at us at lightning speed by a clearly overworked group of waiters. There should always be at least a 5 minute gap between courses. The food quality is also affected according to how busy the place is. On my last visit I was distinctly unimpressed; the duck seemed overcooked and rubbery, whilst my prawn main course was flavourless and bland. I could've cooked better myself. Others on my table commented similar. Having been previously on a Sunday, which was calm, the food was much superior to this. If you do go, avoid a Friday or Saturday. Clearly the kitchen don't like a full house.

There are also several other restaurants on the same road but they do not have the same pleasant interior setting as this one. They have a very decent interior and fantastic seating that has been divided into two parts on the ground level and for extra seating they also have a lower level. It is very pleasant and excellent setting for either party dinners or family dinners (The hall can also be hired privately for parties and the like). It can get crowded sometimes but most of the time you can be assured that you will get a table. The food is exceptionally good and they serve either typical authentic south indian food (which we love) and also north indian food which is also really good. They also have chinese but personally we have never tried it. The service is really good and the staff are really polite and friendly. The price range is really good value for money and we absolutely love this place. Give it a try.

Although the waiters are friendly, their waiting skills leave much to be desired. I think if the bill wasn't as high as it was (£35 a head for starter, main course, glass of wine and coffee), I wouldn't have been so critical of the food. It was very average to say the least. I had a prawn fried in Chilli and oil to start and it looked like they had used water instead of oil! For main course I had swordfish with vegetables and it was bland. I can't think of anything positive to say.

We returned here after a two year hiatus. A cold and rainy Monday night, two other parties eating. Warmly greeted as always. But from there it went downhill. We ordered two spicy poppadoms, they came quickly with the usual condiments, but...well I'll get to that later. My g/f ordered one of the more expensive things on the menu, the "Tandoori Fish". Immediately the waiter said it would take a long time to make and quickly ordered the kitchen to get moving. It was right about then I should have asked why it was going to take such a long time; a fresh piece of fish in the Tandoor would surely be done in under 15 minutes, but...well I'll get to that later. So, we ordered appetisers to kill the wait. I got the quarter tandoori chicken. It has always been leg and thigh, but this time it was breast. I guess I should have been happy as it was a lot of meat, and cooked very well, plenty juicy. But I love the tandoori spices that I can suck away on on the dark meat, tucked away in the nooks and crannies of the thigh. On this white meat it had very little tandoori sucking ability. My g/f got the king prawn pancake. The prawns were tiny shrimp, and she complained (to me) that they had a fishy smell, and it was very bland. So we finished the appetisers, and waited. And waited. Did I mention they said the fish would take a long while. We waited an hour! When it arrived it was a small Pomfret whole fish, some spices on the outside. The flesh was as bland as could possibly be. This fish had clearly been in the freezer, and the long wait was for it to defrost. 10 quid for a crappy piece of fish. Not good. I had ordered my old standby, lamb Dupiaza, Madras hot. The onions were well cooked and blended into the sauce, there was a decent amount of lamb. But, shockingly, as I don't ever remember it happening here before, the spice level was around a 1 instead of around a 7. We had waited so long that I was just going to eat it and not say anything, but the waiter came by and asked, so I told him. He immediately whisked it away and in a few minutes brought back a much more acceptable version. Still about a 5 on the spice scale, but at least I was now getting some heat. With a naan and a rice and a beer we ended up paying 40 quid for a meal worth nothing like that. On top of that there was a mystery charge on the poppadoms, I think they had charged over 2 quid for the relish tray they came with. I would have asked, but we were already approaching old age and just wanted to leave. So Purbani, I hope this isn't the new normal. I've had many great meals here in the past, let's hope I still have many more to come. I hope it was not telling that you had two other tables to serve (and only one when we left) while 1 The Avenue across the street (we had a fantastic Indian meal there last week) looked to be quite busy.
