    Very good meal and reasonably priced. Decent portion size. Staff attentive and friendly. Complimentary starter a nice touch. Only one other table occupied in the restaurant when we were there and they left shortly after we arrived so ambience not the best. Didn’t detract from the quality of the food though. Not a fan of an automatic 10% service charge added to the bill.

    Hands down the best tasting curry me and my hubby have had, the flavours were amazing. Garlic naan crisped to perfection and we even got a wee freebie....which I wasn't enamoured with but it was free so no complaints. We will defo be back.

    Went in for my mums birthday as I'd read the staff make a suitable fuss for those occasions...that was absolutely true. Definitely recommend. Food and service both top notch as well.
