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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Booked for a family Birthday of 13 booked 3 weeks ago. Took 30 minutes to seat us, then another 20 minutes to get popadoms cold with no plates. Waited another 1:30 with no food , just eat come and go but still no food on...our table. Waited for 2 1/2 hours with nothing to eat. Left with no food and very hungry.More

I thought this was an average place the food was nice, prices were reasonable, plenty of parking out the front decor was nice, the girls serving were friendly and efficient. I had a mock-tail which was nice. They don’t sell alcohol here, but I believe...you can bring your own. the only things I would say which were negative were that 1. It was absolute freezing in there 2. They constantly have ‘just eat’ drivers coming in threw the front door which a. Let the cold air in continuously and b. Was annoying because they then pack the orders into the delivery bags on the bar, it’s distracting and they should do this in the back and drivers use a back door. 3. Every time a driver comes they press a door bell which is really loud and annoying and distributive to your table conversation. It’s not good etiquette. If not for these 3 things I would have rated higher.More

Booked our table for 6pm after a visit to the cinema. A nice friendly welcome, and the service and food were excellent. There was a nice atmosphere as the restaurant was fairly busy. It is not licensed and they are happy for you to bring...your own alcohol. Nice choice of desserts , unfortunately didn’t have time for one!More

Booked a table for my two sons and myself. The service was diabolical, it took 50 minutes to deliver some cold popadoms, and another 20 minutes for our main courses. The restaurant was only half full and there were six members of staff wandering around...but obviously poorly organised. The food was very poor, the worst Indian that l have ever been in. Plus they only accept cash!More

Ordered a takeaway for the first time from the Island and it will definitely be the last. Waited for well over an hour for the food to arrive which wasn't too much of a problem. When we opened the bag we discovered that we had...been given the wrong order. We rang the Island and were told that it would get sorted. It did get sorted over another hour later. The young lad who delivered both times had a terrible couldn't care less attitude. Will definitely never use this place again and will take my custom elsewhere which provides better serviceMore

Our pre-booked party of 4 was warmly welcomed on arrival at 1830hrs, and selected non-alcoholic drinks and main courses from the extensive menu. Both were served promptly, and were delicious, being tasty and well-presented. The dessert menu was also extensive, and everyone enjoyed their choices....The staff were enthusiastic and friendly, and overall an excellent experience. Free parking is available outside the venue after 1800hrs. Highly recommended.More

Visited on a quiet bank holiday weekend evening. Served by a young staff who were prompt, polite, and thorough. A good selection on the menu. Fast to arrive and tasty. I’d recommend 3 sundries between two people, they aren’t huge servings. A good selection of...milkshakes, desserts, pop, and mocktails. It is bring your own alcohol. Would visit again.More

Been here a few times and had delivery's also. Service is always slow. The food is very tasty but the portion size is very small for the price. You get around 5 pieces of meat and that wouldn't be enough for my dog let alone...a human. There is also lack of ingredients too such as onions, peppers etc. Basically put more food in the sauce! Naan is very small and so is the rice. I wouldn't say it was good value for money to be honest. Plus there is no drinks license.More

As I walked through the door instantly recognised as a ‘table for one’ having been here a few times recently. My server (named Hope) looked after me as she always does, impeccably. I like to take my time, and peruse the menu, so I wasn’t...rushed. I was given advice and recommendations based on my questions…all with superb accuracy when the food arrived. I had the syletti king prawn poori to start and a chicken tikka jalfrezi Balti main…and demolished the kit. Superb service and great quality food…More
