    A throwback to the royal luxuries of the Mughal empire, this converted pump house has been turned…read moreinto a stunning space. I would honestly come here just to marvel at the opulence. With sky high-ceilings held up by towering blue columns and chandeliers suspending curtains of heavy fabrics, the venue is actually quite breath-taking. With shades of dark blue and gold detailing on the magnificent staircase, it is truly beautiful. Now on to the food. We came here on a weekday for the buffet which was large in quantity. It was rather what you would expect of an Indian buffet - quantity over quality. The food was very much average, something that you would expect out of a TV Indian dinner. A lot of the food was not heated continuously so it being cold took a lot away from the flavor as well. A lot of the dishes I wanted to try which were on the website were missing. To be fair, they did say the dishes rotate and that they won't have everything on. The desserts were all cream, jello, and fruit based and nothing I had ever seen/heard of. The beautiful ice cream selection shown on their website was completely missing as well. However, we got half price off the buffet so the whole dining experience (with drinks) was around 8 quid each! Still a steal for a night out. FYI: The place is dry as it's hallal. The drinks were quite overpriced - not even the mocktails but a simple soda. They have a food wastage surcharge of 5 quid which is not a bad idea as it means they save their food. However, they should really make this more obvious to a diner as its only listed at the bottom of the menu in small letters. I definitely think this place has potential for catering or a group party where they can showcase less of their dishes at a higher level of quality. However, the bathrooms are pretty appalling.

    The restaurant is located in an old pump house, while you eat you marvel at the architecture. There…read moreis plenty of seating, parking is limited. The meat is HMC Halal, and there are the usual Asian dishes on offer, as well as fusion Asian/Chinese dishes. We went for the buffet option on this visit, the buffet was kept full so no issue with empty pots! I didn't like the deserts they could have been better. The price was reasonable. The drinks service was slow.
