    Great Indian food

    The food here was absolutely delicious, very traditional and tasty. Staff are extremely friendly and courteous; I'd highly recommend eating here. I don't really like the bar so I stay clear of drinking there but happy to go for a meal.

    Yes, my son has several food allergies, peas, carrots, peanuts etc and was well catered for. They prepare the massalla themselves and confirmed no almonds or peanuts were used in ours.

    I have coeliac disease as well as being dairy intolerant and allergic to soya. The menu is clearly marked. The staff totally understand and I have not had any reaction from eating here.
