Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Sadly we did not enjoy our first visit to this Restaurant having just moved to the area, found the decor to be so so 70s, staff rushing about, no personal touch…asked for poppadoms with pickle tray and extra onions, our personal choice but just ended...up with pickle tray, main meals were ok but lacking flavour, although plenty of chicken, but would have preferred taste, rice came as the smallest portion we have ever seen, ordered garlic and coriander Nan well this was the biggest joke the Nan was 100% out of a packet…..asked why the Nan had no coriander and was told that the Restaurant does not use coriander at all, I was at a loss to comment…….you also get charged extra if you change from the menu by heat strength ? So if you ask for a little hotter dish you get charged, in my 40 + years of eating Indian food I have never come across this ……More

Excellent, food (cooked by an award winning chef) with friendly and polite service. Great value too. The selection available was extensive and everything arrived at our table, freshly cooked ant piping hot. Will definitely use this restaurant again when we next visit the UK. Needless...to say, the restaurant has a 5***** hygiene rating. I attach a photo of one of the many awards and certificates on display - I am sorry that the photo is not very clear - it was taken with my phone.More

I have used this restaurant for years now always have had good food and the service has always been good .Booked a table for 8 pm for 8 friends the restaurant was not busy buy their normal standards but although they were very attentive i...felt we were being rushed the food was superb as always but they kept hovering around us wanting to clear away when members of the party were still eating so this i found annoying as we were having a nice chilled time. Eating out is not cheap these days but to be hit with a 10% service charge which amounted to £27 i feel this was a bit much as we would all have left a tip as we always do so for this we were not to pleased with them. A i said food excellent service charge not happy with .More

We chose this restaurant as a place to meet with friends last night. Although the food was good, we felt a little rushed. We still had several poppadoms left, when the waiter cane and asked if we'd finished with them. As we were paying for...them, we felt we should be allowed to finish them at least? The restaurant wasn't overly busy, yet they started to remove plates whilst some members of our group were still eating. But the biggest disappointment I felt, was a service charge added to our bill!! We spent approx £266 on food and drink and each of us would have happily added a tip, but when we saw the service charge of nearly £27, we immediately decided no. Sadly, for that reason alone, we won't be returning to this restaurant. Service charges like that are rude, presumptuous and a sure fire way of putting people off. Most people are happy to tip. It would be far nicer if a place waited for this, rather than automatically adding their own.More

Disappointing to say the least expensive. The coke I had was flat. The food was expensive and somehow tasteless too hot and spicy - worst curry in ages . Up at 2.30 thirsty with stomach cramps avoid

We visited tonight just as they'd opened at 5pm. Service was as usual attentive and pleasant, food was EXCEPTIONAL! Everything you would expect and want in an Authentic Indian Restaurant. Love the heated trays that are put on the table to keep your curry warm...that so many of the 'new style' Indian restaurants don't bother with! Wouldn't go anywhere else in Westbourne!More
