My husband took me out for dinner and it was really lovely. The setting and atmosphere was good. Very clean and good staff. We managed to have the set menu, although it wasn’t the right time for it. Just beware, the bottled water on the table is not complimentary. Overall, a really nice experience, not rushed and comfortable. Would def go again.
The Chequers is a former pub with a decent sized car park. The exterior blends unassumingly into the local area. The delightful smell of caramelised onion, capsicum and spices permeates the air before you enter. The interior decor is very visually interesting, but more importantly has been very well designed and laid out with careful use soft furnishings that balance the acoustics from hard surfaces. This creates a relaxing dining area with a pleasant ambience from other diners. The food is very good, extra effort is put into the chef's signature dishes that sets the chequers apart from other Indian restaurants. I tried the Tawa, Karahi and cashew Murgh. The Tawa was exceptional, with a delightful mix spices blended carefully with the uplifting tangy flavour of tamarind. The Karahi was also excellent with a deep and rich blend of spices and capsicum. Both the Tawa and Karahi had been further reduced on a skillet to intensify the flavours. The cashew Murgh made use of local honey as an ingredient, which provided a pleasant sweetness to the dish. All three dishes were very distinct and enjoyed with a peshawari and keema naan.
Had our first ever meal here last night. What a truly amazing time we had. First class service from the minute we walked through the door. Stunning interior decor and the food was to die for. All staff are very polite and professional. Thanks again guys for making my mother in laws birthday meal one to remember. We’ll definitely see you again soon
