We are local and ordered some take-way dishes. In the Chicken Tikka Masala they had used old Chicken which tasted like it had gone off / rotten they tried mask the taste by making it really spicy and hot (On Tikka Masala really???!!) The popadoms...were old and stale. They think customers ordering take away food wont notice or complain OH THEY WILL. I don't write reviews read this and AVOID!!!More

Ordered food from this restaurant for dinner, order included tandoori roti, chicken tikka masala, aloo gobi and kachumber salad. The food is definitely not North Indian food, the chicken was very hard with lots of food coloring. The roti was HUGE and it was not...proper tandoori roti, no option of butter was available. In the aloo gobi it looked like the chef was not having a knife when he cooked this. The only solace was the kachumber salad. The food was very disappointing to say the least.More
