What people say

"Excellent food - had the vegetarian feast and it was SO MUCH food and very delicious. Tasty chutneys, lovely crumbly paratha, tasty curries. Rice pudding was amazing, never had such nice rice pudding before! Staff were attentive and kind. Very good value for money. Big plus for no automatic service charge - happy to tip but this is at customer discretion, which is much appreciated and earned through the good service from staff."
