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.

Very nice food 10 out of 10 and the service was exactly what was needed, wasn’t overbearing and were there when we needed them. On top of that the prices were very decent for the quality of food, extra credit to Amith for taking care...of us he was a great server and we will be back.More

Was here for a Friday night dinner with my Husband. The ambience is welcoming, staff are friendly, food is delicious and fresh and the place is lively. We are vegetarians and the menu has quite some vegetarian options. We went in search of Paneer Tikka...but were disappointed not to find it in their menu. However, the Saag Paneer turned out to b our new favourite here. was I'd say its a 5/5. We also tried the Vegetable Jalfrezi (4.5/5). The Garlic Naan was super soft, served hot and fresh(5/5). The Vegetable Biryani can definitely improve (3.5/5) in terms of flavours and the side-dish. Their staff, Ahad, was very friendly and accommodative of our needs with the food. Quite impressed with his service as he ensures that you get your food on the table, customised the way you like it! Overall, a very good experience. Would like to go back here on a wintry evening!More

This was my 2nd visit to this restaurant. Sad to see the set menu was no longer an option as it was on my first visit as it was good midweek value for money. That said, the food is superb, so can’t complain. Fresh, hot...and tasty food on both visits. Service was also great from Hussain, such a polite and well mannered guy. Service with a smile and some extra chocolates for my walk back. Will certainly return and recommend for my colleagues working and staying in the area. Excellent restaurant!More

Had a takeaway from Deshi spice and it was below standard. The chicken was tough and stringy, the bahjee's were rock hard and the sauce was very poor standard. Anyone who wins awards are only as good as the day the award was given and...so the standard must be kept up. I will not be using this place again. I feel I have wasted my money. There are other Indian/Nepalese/Bengali restaurants in town who serve outstanding dishes ,full of flavour and worth every penny.More
