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.

Fabulous. Delicious food and great service, even though they were very busy. My husband's birthday meal and nothing was too much trouble. We are regulars of their take-away service, but this was even better. Vegetable stuffed pepper starter was beautiful. We really enjoyed ourselves. We...will be back soon.More

2 hours to deliver and no phone call. Disappointing. They did reduce the cost but took far too long.

I had chicken curry, but the chunks of chicken were tasteless. Pre boiled and added to a sauce? Whatever, no taste to the chicken. Otherwise service and everything else fine.

I had a meal here this evening with a party of 6, and the food served was just fantastic. It all tasted and looked absolutely delicious! Service was also incredible where the servers and other staff interacted very well with everyone and the children in...our group which was just an overall amazing experience. I highly recommend trying it out here, you won’t be disappointed!More

First time we’ve used this restaurant looking forward to our meal that just cost £43 took hour and half to arrive it was cold no cheese in the Nan bread and the curries were very bland just terribly disappointing had a . Few mouthfuls each...and went. Straight in the bin what a pile of tasteless sludge called up to complain they wanted the food back unfortunately as it was thrown in the bin a photo was not good enough they offered a 25 % discount on next order but won’t be using againMore

Have had takeaway and never had a complaint - but in the restaurant was even better! The staff are so friendly and the food was just as delicious (tasted better as I don’t have to wash up!) would thoroughly recommend

Went to Shimla 3.12.22 only to be put in a room with 8 male party animals and staff refused to move us despite 1 of our party being disabled and distressed with their actions. Staff said nothing to rowdy party - they were too scared...- should have had a word or called police. Shameful! Refused to give money back for meal. This is how they deal with regular and disabled guests. They admitted the party was very rowdy but wouldn't give full refund. Have asked for cctv footage in room but they havn't sent it to me as requested. Absolutely disgraceful. Avoid at all costs.More
