Superb! The food was excellent and to be recommended, but the customer service we received even outshone that! Due to an very busy evening, we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. Whilst we were waiting we were offered drinks and apologised to, for the delay.
The waiter who took our order was very friendly and chatty.
The waiter who brought our food to the table was also a nice guy, and also had time for a smile and a few words.
At the end of our meal the manager came over, apologised once more for the initial delay, and offered us drinks on the house.
Overall, we had a very pleasant dining experience, with excellent customer service, and we will be sure to return again when we are in the area.

Great value on a Wednesday night £8.95. I had the mango chicken which was excellent if slightly bland. It was busy probably due to it being the special offer night but the service was excellent. Will definitely go again.

We had not eaten Indian food for many years, and had forgotten all we knew. The staff here were extremely helpful and we made a great selection - thoroughly enjoyable. Will go again.
