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.

We got a take away meal from this lovely establishment & we were both delighted with our choice. Waiting time was reasonable,food tasted fresh & beautifully flavoured.we were also given pappadams & a pot of chopped salad,onion,peppers etc gratis,which is a nice gesture. This is definitely going to be our go-to curry house. What a gem!

Requested a table away from doors , offered a table in front of the main door !! first mistake. menus were placed on the table with no welcoming what so ever.Drinks Requested, served no pleasantries at all .Food ok ,asked for more yoghurt dip , never arrived, nobody asked if everything was to our satisfaction! Asked for the sweet menu,told there isn't one only ice cream,!!! We had tea/ coffee. then hot wipes in a basket were actually dumped rather loudly on the table. We were all rather gobsmacked!! We are 4 elderly people who have enjoyed indian food for over 50 years . This is the most impersonal restaurant we have ever been to and would never go back .!!!!!!!!

Staff excellent. Food,what you get of it also excellent. Trouble is I left feeling still hungry and had more to eat when I got home. Never done that before. For the high prices they charge,nearly a fiver for a small bowl of rice,you do expect the quantity they serve to be more than it is. In reality it’s a kids sized meal served to adults

Visited with a group of friends. We'd been before, and it has always been good previously. Unfortunately, things were different this time. The staff were unfriendly, verging on being rude. We ordered poppadoms to begin with. These were OK, but for five of us, the quantity of pickles provided was laughable, probably just enough for two people. A few of us had onion bahjis for our starters. They were huge! Far too much for a starter and they were very oily. There was a lot of oil left on the plate afterwards. We all ordered different main courses. I can't remember what mine was called, but the description implied that the dish was fairly mild..... it most definitely wasn't. It was ridiculously hot!!! Everyone else said that there's was the same, none of us enjoyed or finished our meals. During the meal some of us ordered more drinks, these were brought but no empties were taken from the table. When the table was eventually cleared the waiter didn't walk around the table collecting the crockery, he leaned over us all gathering it up, in the process very nearly poked me in the eye with the handful of dirty cutlery he has in his hand. Totally clueless about the etiquette of waiting on tables. Would I return..? Not a chance!!

This is the third time we have visited this restaurant – we enjoyed our first meal – albeit the service was not great and we had high hopes – unfortunately we will not be going back. Some of the dishes are very good others very average. Portion sizes are on the small side. On our last 2 visits the service has deteriorated and when things start to get busy it is very clear the staff cannot cope. You have to request everything – if they notice you. They are not proactive at all and seemed to us that they appear to prioritise take aways ahead of table service. They always manage to get the first round of drinks out as guests arrive but it all slows down thereafter. They are also very slow even when trying to get the bill. They are not great value – a starter for one 2 mains a couple of side dishes with a couple of drinks each was almost £80.00 not great

Slow service WITHOUT a smile! Our main waiter was very slow, and inattentive although some of the young staff were warm and funny! Although the food was ok when it finally arrived, the heating was off and it was very cold for a restaurant. Finally, we were offered a ‘complimentary’ baby Guinness at the end of the meal, which we then got charged for. It was really disappointing as we’d been so looking forward to going. I understand we’re in a cost of living crisis, but having no heating on in the middle of winter does not make for a good dining experience. This on top of being charged for a ‘complimentary’ shot, makes me feel the restaurant are really pinching pennies!

We used to love this restaurant but haven’t been for a few years, we were disappointed all night; they forgot starters, brought the wrong mains, never offered us more drinks, the standard of the food was poor and not very hot. My curry arrived and it was full of large chunks of garlic but I hadn’t ordered the garlic chicken - the food was spiced but not flavourful- potions small and bland. Back to new new we go as they never disappoint like this.

A least we were warm. The heating was on and sitting next to radiator. I had Chicken Sashlik. The chicken smelt burnt, the peppers, onions and tomato all hard as not cooked . The dish had no spicy taste as did the chicken korma did not.The nan breads were undercooked and sloppy. They replaced with the exact same undercooked. This was not my first dissappointment in this restaurant. Once we eventualy recieved our meal after a 90 mins wait and the only thing which was what we ordered was the rice. They need to review whats going wrong.

Food can’t be faulted - we love it and have loads of happy memories eating here over the years -unfortunately, the service is abysmal. The restaurant was in total chaos last night, same as last time we visited….. You book a table and goodness knows what happens to the note the person on the phone has made, because there seems no recollection of it when you turn up. You stand in a queue with hungry, pale faced people, waiting up to 2hrs for their takeaways. Again, the staff are confused about which takeaway belongs to which person. The customers look at the notes on the bags that come from the kitchen and try to work it out amongst themselves. Some bags are returned because they don’t seem to belong to anyone. Meanwhile, queuing for the table you booked, you are asked 4 or 5 times, by different staff members, for your name and the number in your party and your drinks order, without anything actually happening. The reception area is jam packed, so you can’t sit down. Anyway sitting down might mean you miss your table. Some lucky people walk in and are led straight to a table. There is no logic to it. The mayhem has to be seen to be believed. This is a great shame, because the food is amazing (apart from burnt black poppadoms we’ve twice been served).

First year of the Ahad doing Christmas dinner. Do it again. Please. A 4 course menu, with poppadoms and pickles, a choice of starters, mains and sweets. The food was superb, the service fantastic and a lovely atmosphere. A great touch was the background music was not the usual Christmas playlist with the Who even featured! A great price too. Thank you.

We have been coming here for years and it never fails to disappoint. The staff are brilliant, great with the kids. The food is delicious, authentic and fresh. The meat is tender- I recommend the lamb chops and southern Indian curry! We drive for an hour to get here and cannot recommend it enough as no other place comes close in terms of quality and taste.

I’ve passed this place so many times as I live only a couple of streets away and the smells have always been tantalising. Ordered a takeaway for 4 of us and collected myself. 2 minute walk home in a hot July evening and put cartons out on the table. First off, the food is cold. Second the saag dishes and channa masala are dry as in dried out. There’s nothing fresh about this. A lamb biryani is just some rice with dry lumps of mutton and the accompanying curry sauce is lacking in flavour, just some large pieces of veg in a rather bland sauce. All together it makes for a miserable offering, there are no redeeming qualities not even the spice blends which were uniform in their flavour or lack of it, no subtlety of aromatics. First and last visit.

Great place for a relaxing meal with colleagues. Food was okay but tasted very smokey as did my colleague who had a different dish. The atmosphere and service was great so will probably go back again but definitely ask about the smokey food.

The menu is very comprehensive and the food is great but, in my opinion the service is quite surly and not very professional at all. Its such a shame as that will put me off going back to somewhere that for many years has been one of my favourite places. This was also my view when I went a few weeks ago.

The food here has always been good. Decided to order a delivery for a change - what a mistake that was. Pre ordered for a specific time giving over 2_hours notice. I don't mind 5- 10 minutes late but after 30 mins past the requested time tried to phone to see what was happening. Rang and rang and rang but nobody answered the phone. Eventually I had to ring the delivery service they use who said the restaurant would d contact me and the food was on its way. It eventually arrived 45 minutes late. The rice and man bread were stone cold, the meals warm but not hot despite the fact we live less than a mile from the restaurant. Very disappointing
