    Good was good , service was poor. One guy was great but everyone else seemed to not want to be there , we had to ask for table to be cleared and cleaned between courses. Wouldn’t rush back which is a shame as it could be lovely

    Dining with a group of friends. Overall a great experience - delicious food, efficient service, great atmosphere, all be it at times too noisy. A step up from alternative Indian dining options in the area.
