The service is outstanding, since all waiters would pay appreciated attention to our tables. The quantities were great, especially for big eater : a very good deal regarding the prices ! The cheese nans weren't extraordinary, but the tandoori garlic moglai and the sizzling salmon sided with fried rice and onions were tasty with a smooth and mild spicyness. We ended the meal with a big smile and full stomach !

Even as a person who doesn't particularly like Indian food, I quite enjoyed my meal. The food was up to a good standard.

I will definitely be going again!

Think twice before booking for an important occasion!…read more Feel free to take this review with a pinch of salt as I haven't actually managed to eat at the Valley restaurant, the food looks very good. However I did have a booking for a party of 15 people for the 12th of February, this booking was made and confirmed and a deposit of £150 paid in January. This booking was cancelled today at around midday, which leaves me very little time to organise anything else for an important event! Now I'm 100% sure that the restaurant haven't tried to contact me via email, phone or text prior to the 11th of feb 1 day before the booking, I'm happy to show my phone/email records to prove this as the restaurant are adamant (wrongly) that they have to tried to contact me, well there either telling fibs or they haven't tried very hard at all! So I'm now left trying to organise a stag do for 15 people on the day of the stag do, great thanks you. To make this worse after a refund was agreed upon at my request, the restaurant charged me again another £150 pounds! As of writing this review I still haven't received the £300 pounds I'm owed and this has had a very significant impact on my weekend as it's unfortunately left me without the funds to pay for what I needed to do this weekend! I'm very upset about this! The reason for the cancellation was that the train services had been cancelled. Now if it was my business I would make sure my bookings were kept, I would simply organise alternative means of transport, taxi or minibus. But no this hasn't been offered! What I will say is that you should really think twice about booking here if the occasion is an important one, business, birthday what have you. As there is a very real possibility it will be cancelled and like my experience you will only be told the day before, and have to pay £300 for the privilege. Although the food does look very nice so you might want to risk it...

The staff are very helpfull too and will make something for you if its not on the menu eg: they alwyas removed my chicked tandoori from the bone for me.

So we thought we'd give it a try based on the reviews here. What a pleasant surprise. We received a warm welcome, we hadn't booked a table, but were shown straight to a table. It was quite busy considering it was only 7:15pm. As Curryholics, we thought we'd try something a little different, so we had Poppadoms, then the Mixed Platter to start, followed by the Agni Karai, Lamb Matka and a Cheese & Garlic Nan. The food was superb. Both are medium dishes with lots of flavour & just the right amount of kick!! The bill came to £37, including drinks, so overall it was good value. The service was welcoming, friendly & helpful. Will definitely be back.

Obviously driving means no drinking so therefore even thou this is my favourite I don't manage to get there as often as I would like. The guys who run this place are not local and commute a couple of hundred miles each day and because of this they seem to put maximum effort into making your visit well worth while.
