I find the smaller things such has hot plates being placed on the table moments before the food is brought are key things which make you stand out from the rest. Each dish was hot and portions were adequate to fill the average person. Alcohol was a bit pricy for the location but is expected. The reason it is not 5 stars was because the waiter or waiters in this case came three times in consecutive occasions to ask if we are ready to order. The first waiter got told cane we have 5 minutes and a minute later a different waiter asked if we was ready, again. As I mentioned before, the food is brilliant. Would recommend for an nice meal or even a group outing.

The restaurant is, as the name suggests, in a small cottage that has quite recently been extended to cater for the demand for a good curry house in the area. There must be no more than 15 tables in the entire place, which makes it nice and cosy - which I like. I have been here countless times, and each time I cannot fault the service. The waiters are friendly, and the same guys have worked there for years, so if you're local and go there frequently they remember your name - which is always nice. The food is authentic Indian food, with a varied choice of curries on the menu. One of their starters - Prawn on Puree - is my favourite and I often order this as larger portion for my main meal, which they are always more than happy to do for me. The prices are very reasonable here, and if you like them on Facebook they'll often post print-off vouchers on their page for customer discounts and freebies. They also run deals on certain nights, where you can get 3 courses and a beer for £15. Last week when I visited, the service was abnormally slow.. And something I haven't experienced before. Granted it was a busy Friday night but maybe they were a waiter down or something. The service is usually faultless - this must have been an off night but I wouldn't like to mark them down for it. I'll continue to go here, either with family or with friends - and if you're in the area it's definitely the best place for Indian food for a good few miles.

Me and my partner arrived before the rest of our party and were shown to the bar area where our drinks our was quickly taken and the drinks soon arrived. We were left with menus, which didn't appear to have changed since my last visit over a year ago. After the rest of our party had arrived our order was taken in the comfort of the bar, we were only shown to our table as our starter of poppadoms with a selection of dips, I had never tried the dips and they tasted very fresh and were full of flavour. The waiters were extremely attentive offering more drinks when needed. The mains were enjoyed by everyone, the waiters were accomodating of my partner who wish to try a sample of the hottest dish on the menu!
