The food quality customer service everything was bang on absolutely loved it and pricing was they are very economical as well considering current cost of living and everything else best place to visit ”
“ Have heard good things about this place, so took family. Had mixed grill starter, veg samosas and fries. Then had meat charity, desi chicken balti, tarka daal and both naans and rotis. Food and service excellent, but we were the only people in the place. Reasonably priced but cash only, which is an increasing trend for a lot of places, which can be frustrating and inconvenient, if you don't carry cash. But would recommend. ”
