Take your own booze, co-op next door.
We couldn't book for 8 pm, and accepted 9 pm.
Staff were attentive, no one had starters, we did have poppadums (70p each, and tray of diced onions, etc., £2.00 extra)
I had Naga Chicken - Hot chilli from Bangladesh cooked with onions, capsicum, and fresh coriander and herbs - The flavour was fine even with the hot chilli (which I like), however the onions were more like mush, and very little chicken, I think I counted 4 small pieces. This made me disappointed.
Wife had Chicken Madras, and found this hotter than the one she normally has from Redolence Spice, but very nice. Again, very little chicken.
Daughter had Chicken Makhani - She felt this was more like a Korma, rather than similar to butter chicken. She wasn't impressed, felt that the Redolence Spice offering was better. Again, very little chicken.
Son had Chicken Tikka Dhansak - Very nice, but lacked the chicken.
So, a general theme of lack of chicken.....
I wished I'd been asked about my meal at the end rather than when I had just started.
A generous person, in our party, paid for the whole lot.
The place was packed downstairs, and is was very narrow to walk through to get upstairs to our table.
It was the same upstairs, and I felt sorry for the couple in the corner behind us, who seemed to be crammed in...
I just felt a bit claustrophobic.
Would I go back again? Possibly, but I'd mention the meat issue before I ordered.
