We booked for a Tuesday night and there was just a few tables occupied. Despite this the waiter took an age to serve us each course. The food is amazing though and worth waiting for. I had the goats cheese to start and it was a very generous serving. For main I had the tikka masala and it was incredible, the sauce was so smooth and rich and there was plenty of chicken in it. It's a little pricey I feel but they do an early bird 4 course for 20 euro but we couldn't get that with the voucher. One tip is don't park in the car park right next to the restaurant, it's a one hour limit, go to the one behind the shopping centre.

***Little update. The business contacted me after seeing this review asking for my phone number so…read morethey could try to make amends. They never called. LOL*** I am at the end of my tether with this place. So my last review said "Never again." That didn't really happen as it is the closet Indian take away to me and I love Indian food. So I have ordered a few times since. Tonight just was the straw that broke the camels back. I ordered their chicken karachi special with garlic coriander naan and Coca-Cola. I GOT plain naan and Diet Coke. DIET COKE! Anyone who drinks regular Coke does not appreciate been given Diet Coke. I rang and told the guy that the drink was wrong. He said that they realised that they had run out of Coke. I told him that what you do in that situation is you CALL THE CUSTOMER and tell them. I don't drink Diet Coke. Why on Earth would I want it. If I was told this I would have asked for an orange or something with real sugar. He told me he would add €2 to my account. It's hardly anything to get excited about and I bid him adieu. THEN I realised my naan was PLAIN. Not garlic coriander as ordered. I rang, spoke with another guy. I told him it was infuriating at this stage as they are constantly getting my ordered wrong. Usually forgetting my dips or poppadoms. He said he would send the naan down, I told him I was eating now and there was no point. He said he would add €5 to my account. At this stage I was hungry and was like fine, grand, thanks, bye. I also ordered the Indian Brussel sprouts. There was 6 of them. They were totally undercooked and fairly tasteless. I like my veggies al dente. That is not the issue here. At €4.75 there must be a HUGE mark up on them. I am so annoyed. SO ANNOYED. I spent €20 on Bombay Bantry tonight and have been irritated by the entire experience. So this €5 is now on my account. This basically covers the cost of the Coke and the naan that I did not receive. It's hardly compensation as I never drank the Diet Coke and barely ate my bland plain naan. If I do decide to take advantage of this €5 on my account and actually order from here again and the food and service is improved I will update my review. But the way I feel right now I wouldn't hold my breath. But we'll see. Maybe they will get a chance to redeem themselves with me.

While not the best curry I've ever had, (no vindaloo!), I really do like this small and open restaurant. When you walk in, you can see them working to prepare the food. The work area seems quite clean, stainless steel and clean counters. Each time, the order is the same, 2 things of basmati rice, naan bread, a chicken korma for one, and a gaan fire house lamb for myself. The latter is the hottest thing they have on menu. To its credit, it does have a pleasant and lovely burn. This totals about 22 Euro. They are prompt and friendly. I rarely wait more than 10 minutes. The basmati rice is pleasantly steamed, not mushy or runny. The naan bread is ok and I'm told the chicken korma is lovely. I've found that in absent of a good vindaloo, this gaan fire house lamb is an acceptable substitute. My only complaint is that 22 Euro for two is a bit dear for a takeaway curry, a price that's inflated since most the menu is ala carte.

I needed the GPS to find it, as it was at the end of a strip plaza off the main drag. Based on its location, this is a place for the locals and they do quite a lot of carry-out business. There was only one other party in the restaurant at the time. So it was not a problem to find a seat and the service was terrific. The menu offered several favorites. I opted for the Lentil Soup as an appetizer, which was very good. For my main, I tried the Spicy Goan Chicken, which was terrific. It had exactly the right amount of heat. I ended with a Masala Chai, which made a nice finisher. The bill was quite reasonable. With everything, my final bill was less than 30 euros. I was quite happy with this value. If I am in the area again, I will hope to return.
