Just visited on Valentines day 💕 first time since it was Hot Chilli 🌶 and what a different 😁 everything was great, the food, the service and I loved the decor, especially the cherry trees 😄 I only dropped it a star on atmosphere as it was quiet, I'm sure it would be much better on a busy Saturday night. I definitely recommend the onion bhaji's and prawn Karkahi, which my partner had.
Two things I would suggest, however, to make it even better...1 tidy up outside, the discarded fridges don't give a good impression and 2. Increase your selection of drinks to include more flavoured gins and vodkas and draft beer. But that's just our taste. We'll definitely be coming back on Thai Wednesday's.
Excellent choice of dishes.
The food was delicious and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. Excellent customer service.
Highly recommended
Noted the below comments and having checked the Food Standards Agency rating as a 2, I knocked off a star accordingly. So 4 stars - yes the food is that good. In a party made up of diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and people from opposite ends of the country; the concensus was that this was hands down the best Indian meal people had ever experienced. Certainly my main, a Rogan Josh (mildly spiced by request) the best I had ever tasted.
Starters came and immediately the size of the onion bhajis drew gasps. Given the price was so reasonable and I was starving I'd gone for something a bit more substantial worried onion bhajis wouldn't be enough. I needn't have worried. The things are huge and delicately made. Probably the best in the UK. Others had a mixed grill affair, cake in a sizzling plate, served with salad. Impressive, cooked perfectly, flavours incredible.
Mains were equally impressive, one member went for the vindaloo and was sweating by the end, but meat was so tender, expertly prepared in a lavish sauce. The same could be said of the other curries on the table. Rice dishes and naan breads all present and correct. No complaints.
A note on the staff, very friendly, very efficient and very helpful. Our server (forgot name) was making jokes of an appropriate nature, and the impression given was that nothing was too much trouble.
All in, a 2 star hygiene rating would probably motivate the staff to improve things, after all you can't have so much pride in your food to be so well recognised, without having the wherewithal and determination to put things right. Absolutely outstanding food and even though Indian cuisine is not my favourite, I'd have no hesitation in returning here nor recommending it.
