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.

We visited the restaurant with a very large group of friends. The food took a while to arrive but that may have been because of the party size. Anyway, the food was well presented and tasty. We had the veggie options & would recommend the...paneer based dishes. Fresh salad was also very tasty and plenty of food to cater for our table. Staff were friendly & helpful. Would recommendMore

We visited this restaurant after a long time as in the past we had found both the quality of food and service had gone down . However we were pleasantly surprised as we were met by very friendly and cheerful staff . Our order was...taken promptly. The food was very good , fresh and very nicely presented. The portions were good . The place has had a makeover and was very clean . I would definitely be eating here againMore

The portions were very small and expensive, had to re order 2 more curries to accommodate the family, the woman was rude, the waiter spilled juice over my husband, no apologies or acknowledgment until I told him! When we ordered juices for the children, they...were so watered down, had to send them back, it was a disappointing visit, I went there about 8 months ago and it was much better, hence the return. Sadly I won’t be going back.More

I visited caraway yesterday , the service and food was excellent but the manager is really rude and not at all responsible. I would say the staff members are really kind and helpful but the management is rubbish. And even I put the review on...google but it’s not showing that means the management is hiding from the public. I’ll never recommend this place to anyone.More

Very disappointed. Very small portions, not filling at all. My 2 sons had to reorder and by the time our bill came it cost us over £100 for 2 females n 2 young men…we’re slim n healthy too so lord knows how many portions a...bigger person would need. Will never go back again.More

I’ve been here twice in the last month, once with colleagues and another time with my family. The waiting staff are different to who were here years ago but that is not necessarily a bad thing. The food is still amazing and set menus have...a really good variety. I am aware that there are some bad reviews but I would encourage you to give it a go if you are in doubt. If you attend at a busy time, then manage your expectations. Overall, the staff are actually really nice if given half a chance, and there has been no change in the quality of food (we’ve been eating from here for years).More

A very disappointing visit. They ran out of wine and told us 30 minutes after we had ordered drinks. We ordered mains - once they bought it out it turned out that there was no dahl! Which restaurant runs out of tarka dahl???? It took...them an hour to tell us! Do not go - wasting your time and money!More

Waitress have no idea what they are talking about!...The food was awful! Tasteless and bland! The drinks which had no ice it was like drinking warm raspberry jam! Honestly it shocking how bad it is I wouldn’t be surprised if they close down soon!More

Absolutely disgusted with the service. Food used to be so good that we would go for dine in or take away every other week however my last 2 take aways and dine in experience with family to celebrate Father’s Day has been absolutely terrible. Sticky...table, reusing disposal menu, cheap serviette, plates not cleaned enough. Extremely bad service and awful attitude of staff. Anyone planning to visit this restaurant please think twice… supermarket takeaway would be better option.More

Ask for Bombay aloo ( mention them no nuts and milk) But bhindi and baigan bhartha these two curries don't require any milk product or nuts in them. Tarka daal (you have to ask them to make it without cream and nuts)
