Had a meal here for Valentine’s. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, possibly more than any restaurant I’ve been to which was nice! The food also excellent and I’m extremely fussy with food, I will only ever usually go to one other Indian so it was a big risk and one that paid off. Thank you, we will be back.

Amazing food and amazing service, must try for sure. I came all the way from london and must say to get authentic Indian food is very rare nowadays. Must try!

Really friendly crew, nothing was too much trouble. Very tasty food with good portions.

18/06/2024: Returned to this cracking little restaurant and again its a solid 5*. Dupiaza and Korma this time around and still excellent, although the Dupiaza could have had a touch more kick to it. Take your own alcohol as they don't serve it on site. Definitely recommend having a curry here. Outstanding curry! Mrs had Tikka Masala which she enjoyed, and I had chicken Dhansak, which was one of the best I've ever had. Lovely rich sauce, full of flavour and then Boom! In comes the heat, exactly how it should be. Great service and good value.

Best Indian i have ever had im on holiday in wales and we decided to go out for a nice Indian and when we went inside the atmosphere was amazing and it smelt so good and when the food came it looked amazing and it was delicious
