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.

Stumbled across this place as it was close to our hotel. What a find!! Roasted poppadoms? Who knew they were a thing? Sooo good! We went with specials for starters and mains and they were lovely. Slightly more expensive than we get at home but...it’s a city centre so to be expected and to be fair it was worth it. Ultimately the food was amazing and the staff were really friendly.More

We are visiting from New Zealand and was looking forward to a great curry. My friend, a local had booked weeks ago and received email confirmation. Imagine our surprise when we turned up and the restaurant was closed. No contact at all from management. Piss...poor.More

Don’t get me wrong the food was adequate (just). But just to bland. No authenticity, a smile might help ..staff seemed pretty miserable & please please clean the loos, by far the dirtiest I have seen in a restaurant .. hope the hygiene elsewhere is...better !!More

Not really top of my list of Indian restaurants- choose this one because it had high reviews, not sure why? First, I must mention the toilets. A disgrace for an establishment that charges a decent amount for fairly basic / ordinary food and pretty dark...and dismal surroundings. The Chicken Piri Piri could feed two people, nicely presented but pretty ordinary. The Chicken Jalfrezi was bland and uninspiring. So, as you can gather, not my favourite Indian Restaurant. Sorry, I usually like to be positive!More

0 out of 5 Service shocking!! Food just as bad. Chicken nuggets as hard as bullets. Prawn Balti bland and had no spice or heat to it. I questioned the owner about not having green chilly in a medium Balti as described on the menu...he argued with me a Balti doesn’t have green chilly in it. Can’t recommend this excuse of Indian restaurant any lower. I would rather eat in McDonalds.More

Great welcome as we walked in for a bit of tea with my dad and better half. Fantastic service, chef even came out to discuss how to make everything perfect for us! Quality of the meat was spot on and spice levels just right for...our particular tastes. Despite living in the city centre we've always gone out of town for good quality curries but this is a hidden gem right in the heart of the city. Couldn't recommend it moreMore

Treated like family. What a great experience. We where greated by a lovely young lady who seated us. We where promptly offered drinks and poppadoms. The starters and mains where fantastic and the service was second to none. They served local Love lane larger and...IPA. Nice change from the limited beer selection you usually get in a Indian restaurant. I will 100% be returning.More

Would not recommend! We ordered a delivery where it said it would take 40 minutes, but it took 1 hour and 45 minutes. Not impressed at all. We rang them after an hour and they said they are still cooking the curry. Then our food...were arrived at different times. The food was cold and not nice to eat. Waiting that long surely the food would have been tasty and hot but wasn’t. Not good quality food do not recommend!More
