A bit of the way out of the city but close(1 min walk) to bus stops on a main bus route. The food was fantastic and service perfect. One slight drawback is the decor which wasn't to my taste. very clean and modern. we went on a saturday night and there was a mix of foreign tourists and locals.

Service was good but food was poor as it looked and tasted as if it was not freshly cooked but rather mass produced.

We received a warm welcome on arrival and were attended to right away. I think one Of the senior managers was on floor that day as he seemed very competent at his job. Food was fantastic! I felt like personally thanking the chef but the kitchen was really busy at the time so hopefully this shall suffice. Looking forward to... More

We've had a few meals there and the food really is great - their kormas are not to be missed! Really tasty food and I felt fine after it - as I find some spicy takeaways can make me feel a bit ill the next day! Good quality food!

The place seems nice enough and the staff seems friendly although, they are somewhat inefficient and slow. However, the worst part about this place is the food. It is bland and far from authentic. The starters were cold. Four of us had the banquets and the chicken and lamb starters were so small as to be almost invisible. The pakoras... More
