As long-term take-away delivery customers, I am deeply saddened and furious after ordering a takeaway to be delivered this evening to find that they had not included chips and had sent the smallest salad which was supposed to be for a Chicken Tikka main meal. On phoning the restaurant to complain, I was told that “it was a standard size salad and do we want the missing chips next time”? They were not helpful at all. Last telephone conversation was with someone who claimed to be the owner and said “we re-delivered the chips and the salad is the correct size for a main meal”. (Attached photograph of the salad… you be a judge of whether this is an acceptable size salad for a main meal). Half a slice of cucumber, half a cherry tomato and around a tablespoon of shredded lettuce; not enough to feed a toddler! After re-heating the food, chicken texture was tough and the meal had to be thrown away. Whilst trying to discuss these issues with the owner, I was told that they were busy and then he put the phone down on me. HOW RUDE! In recent months, we have noticed a reduction in portion sizes and items missing from orders are becoming more prevalent but we usually let it go. However, tonight’s experience will be the last time we ever place an order with this restaurant.

Take away was lovely, we fancied the naan roll ups so we all had a mixed one, with chips and madras sauce. Fast delivery, food was delicious 😋

Very nice place to eat, first time here, most staff very friendly and welcoming, food was beautiful. Only giving it a 4* as it’s slightly more expensive than others I’ve been to in the area and isn’t significantly better. I would’ve gave it 4 and a half if it were possible. That garlic yoghurt dip or whatever it was with the papadums was a must try. Will be returning :)

Food is always excellent and piping hot. I've never had even a mediocre meal from them and certainly not a bad one. Highly recommended - try their pathia sauce.
