    Excellent food. Loved the lamb biryani and the dal makhani. The tamarind dip with the papadums is to die for. My friend had the railroad lamb which I tried and was delicious. They made a very mild vegetarian curry for my wife which she loved. Great service despite the restaurant being full on a Saturday night with plenty of take always being picked up.

    Opted for set menu - Haveli sharing plate was disappointing ... dry chicken crumbling shish and over cooked bahji Mains were ok but lacking depth of flavour .. We were there to catch up with friends so tbh the food was not the focus but it really didn’t feel worth the £75 per couple price label!

    the is the best Indian in the North East. The food is outstanding in quality and prep. It has new dishes and old favourites. All well balanced and spiced perfectly. The team are helpful and offer outstanding service. There's a wine list, gin menu and cocktail menu as well.

    Food was massively over spiced. Dishes we have had there before as medium were almost impossible to eat and it ruined our experience and made the steep prices unacceptable.
