We attended on a Wednesday evening. First impressions were that it looked quite classy. It was quiet about 5 tables in use including ours. Service was prompt, pleasant & attentive waiters. Nice varied menue, would suit most tastes. It's a dry bar so no alcohol is served & you can't take your own which is disappointing! We paid £21each for... More

Beautiful Restaurant, very friendly and helpful staff and amazing food justifying the Awards on display when entering the Restaurant. The mango lassy drink trully refreshes and compliments the full of flavor food. Naim, restaurant owner and all all his staff are really lovely, attentive and charming. In this case we asked them to cook us a nice and spicy mix... More

We have been visiting this Indian for a while and the food is just amazing. The Poppadoms taste the best, they have so much flavor unlike any other restraunt I know. I ordered Chicken korma and chipatties, it was great. I would highly reccomend the lemon sherbert too! The service is friendly and attentive too.

My wife and I were in Lancaster to drop off our daughter at the university. We went to this Indian place one evening. We ordered the mild curries, and specified that we prefer least amount of hot spices. The curry dishes were spicy, and I mean really HOT. The colour was bright RED, must be at least a can of... More

My first impression of this restaurant was WOW! The restaurant was full of character, and the staff appeared friendly. My first shock was the drinks menu, I couldn't find any alcoholic drinks, when I asked the waiter if they served alcohol he said 'no we don't'. The food however was great! I ordered a Vindaloo with Naan bread, which was... More

Really liked the food here, and the naan breads are HUGE!!! Only down side is that they don't sell alcohol, and after a few mouthfuls all I was wishing for was a beer to wash it down!

We were greeted by a very friendly and enthusiastic waiter who knew the people I was with practically on a first-name basis, despite them not being particularly regular there! The food came quickly and was delicious and reasonably priced. The naan breads are HUGE! Will certainly be visiting again soon!

Good food in magnificent surroundings (a converted former church), and a warm welcome from long-serving staff. Desai prawns and saag ghosht are personla favourites. If you like Indian vegetarian food, the off-shoot an Lancaster University's campus is even better - no set menu but alwayus two or three well-spiced vegie dishes (eg spinach paneer, Bombay potato, chick peas) and a...
