Reviews
"One of my favourite indian food places. Never been anything less than impressed. Superb indian cuisine. Many ethnic people eat there which probably confirms my thoughts."
"I've never eaten Indian food before. My friend is attempting to broaden my palate and suggested what I might like to eat given I'm not a fan of hot and spicy foods. I took up the challenge and enjoyed every mouthful of my Mild Chicken Korma. The service was great!"
"I had an extremely disappointing experience at this restaurant due to the abysmal service provided. The atmosphere was utterly dreadful, characterized by an uncomfortable silence and a complete lack of music. To my astonishment, during a visit to this restaurant several months ago, there was also a similar absence of music. The lack of background music during both my recent and previous visit was an unexpected and curious observation. It is rather perplexing that a dining establishment would overlook such a fundamental element that contributes to the overall ambiance and dining experience. To my astonishment, a young 12-year-old child was left unaccompanied to attend to multiple tables, which struck me as inappropriate. This unsettling scenario repeated itself from my previous visit. The child repeatedly took our order, only to be interrupted by phone calls that caused him to abruptly leave the table for several minutes. After enduring this pattern for twenty minutes, we ultimately made the decision to abandon the restaurant and seek dining options elsewhere. The pricing at this restaurant is far from reasonable, as one would anticipate spending approximately $40-50 per person. This exorbitant price point becomes even more disheartening considering the lackluster atmosphere and average quality of the food. The absence of a captivating ambiance only serves to magnify the disappointment, making it difficult to justify the steep prices. With these factors in mind, it is unfortunate that the restaurant fails to deliver an experience that aligns with its inflated pricing, leaving patrons with a sense of incredulity and dissatisfaction. It is disheartening to witness the decline in service quality at a place that was once among my favorite establishments. Regrettably, I must advise avoiding this restaurant due to its woeful service."
"Ordered dinner (take away) and waited 45min for the meals. Got home and found hair in the food. First and last time I would support this local business."
