    Staff was very accommodating. Unfortunately there were two tables with loud diners which was very annoying. The food was reasonably priced and very good, especially the lamb vindaloo and garlic nan. My friend raved about the tomato soup.

    Beautiful home made food, could not do enough for us. Our only minor criticism if anything is that the waiter kept reaching over us whilst we were eating (5 x times) Overall we will be definitely returning.

    Loved the food and ambiance. I’ve been to their other location on the east side, and this location did not disappoint! Great portions for the value, I left stuffed!
