Ordered a takeaway, my dish chicken chettinad is no longer on the menu but they were happy to still make it. All good was fantastic, great portion sizes and very hot.
Super friendly/polite service on collection. Next time we shall eat in.

I'm sorry to say that this was one of the worst Indian meals we've ever had. The Peshwari Chicken was completely and utterly tasteles, no trace of any spices not even any salt. In a blind taste test I would not have had the faintest idea what I was eating. The Cauliflower Bhajee was no beter.
Lamb Dupiaza was fractionally better but only just, aided by the presence of onions. The Brinjal Bhajee was equally lack lustre. Judging from the previous good reviews, I can only guess that they have a different chef now.

Thought we would treat ourselves to a takeaway Christmas Eve, knew that prices had gone up considerably (for at least the dish I normally have) a few months earlier however what was really disappointing on this occasion was both the quality and quantity of food. Both myself and partner thought Chicken was low grade and containers were only half full at best. Sauce was good (whilst not much of it) and staff were friendly but in short we won't be going back which is a real shame as quite a drive to alternatives.

Our first takeaway from here. Staff were very friendly while we waited for our order and the food was very tasty and fresh

My only small gripe was it was on the more expensive side for Indian and they do lack a variety of vegetarian options.

But overall - a v nice experience.
