Food and overall experience good until we were given another tables bill. If we hadn’t have noticed we’d have been charged more than double and had to write out our own bill on the back of a receipt.

First visit of a table of 4, we got seated really quickly and given menus straight away, took our drinks orders and they were on the table not long after. The food arrived piping hot, and lots of it, the Naan breadnis big enough to share. The food was really tasty. Would definitely recommend a visit
