Lovely food, smallish but intimate

Just been here for a night out. Best food available locally served by our ever smiling host. Chicken Pakora for starters with Chicken Maglai for the main. Both were excellent with plenty of flavour and cooked to perfection. Hosts were attentive and friendly and happy to top up with a few "freebie" Bailey's. Such lovely people and will be returning here again soon.

Best curry and dining experience we've had for a few years. Lovely staff, lovely food and nice surroundings. Seeing the chefs cooking at the back adds to the experience and it was well worth our trip up from Manchester. We can't wait to go back.

Went for a meal after hearing a number of friends speaking highly of this place. Really impressed with the food and service. The building is quite small and intimate in a really old building. Nice, intimate atmosphere. Food was of a really high standard and probably the best Indian i have tried. Host is a lovely, friendly guy with a cracking, local accent who can't do enough to make your meal enjoyable. Would definitely go back. Well done

Excellent food. The restaurant is really interesting. It's a converted old pub. There's a beautiful multi fuel stove. Lovely friendly service and great atmosphere.
