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.

The best curry out there. Authentic cuisine and a friendly atmosphere. We have become friends with the owners and they treat us so well our young family included. Delightfully decorated interior and delicious cocktails, wines and beers.

We absolutely loved this restaurant. The staff were really friendly and the food was incredible. They even brought us out a free dessert for our anniversary, it made the night even more special.

A mid-week dinner. The service is exemplary with staff remembering us from a previous visit. The food is wonderful. Full of flavour and with generous portions - too much for me really and I have an excellent appetite. We felt welcome and really enjoyed ourselves...(and our dinner).More

Just enjoyed a superb meal. We had Pani Puri & Sheek Kabab starters followed by Paneer Lababdor and chicken makhani. All dishes were really good, but the chicken was the best “butter chicken” I have ever eaten. Really pleased they have continued to fill the...dishes with plenty of meat and paneer. Price is still fair. Umami may not match Dishoom for decor, but the food is just as good.More
