Food was poor quality and taste. Roti and garlic nann were both inedible. Waited over 45 minutes for food when restaurant was extremely quiet.

Don't believe the reviews on Tripadvisor. Was surprised to see it empty as the other restaurants in the street were busy. Surprised no Beef or Lamb available on menu. Margarita was awful and didn't finish it. Entree was ok, but left after the waiter gave us plates for our mains and they had an awful dirty smell. Can not recommend.

Good food in the British style. However, if you are used to British curry houses, you'd expect the usual 4 dips to come with the papadums. Here they only provide mint sauce. Great value if you have a Citi credit card as get a free bottle of wine.

The service was great and very attentive. Would have liked to have a little more choice in how spicy my food could be. Overall had a great time and the drinks are interesting make sure to try a mango daiquiri.
