excellent atmosphere and food, I've been here four times and they are exceptional every time :)

Had a marvellous meal here this evening. We were greeted warmly and offered a table opposite the bar. The place is pleasantly decorated and looks fresh and clean. Tables have clean bright white table cloths and a cotton napkin in a metal ring, you can see your reflection in the clean cutlery. All the plates given to you are hot. The staff were friendly and attentive and whilst they didn't have bottles of Cobra, they had an alternative called Bangla which we tried and it was excellent. We had 1 plain and 1 spicy popadom each with pickles and they were both fresh and excellent. We skipped the starters and went straight for mains with some sides. 1 lamb dhansak, 1 chicken tikka dhansak, 1 saag bhaji (spinach), 1 bombay aloo (potatoes), 1 mushroom rice and 2 peshwari naan breads. We shared one large bottle of Bangla between us and just as a taste test, we also shared 1 half pint of Cobra draught. We definitely recommend sticking with the Bangla bottle beer, it had far more body and flavour. I have been eating curries regularly since 1984, so I like to think that I know a great curry when I've had one. I have to say that this was up there with the best. In fact the lamb dhansak was so delicious, I ordered an extra one to take away! Perfect heat, depth of flavour and the lamb was so tender and tasty. Absolutely marvellous. The saag and bombay aloo were extremely delicious too, as we're the peshwari naans. We ate a little of the mushroom rice and it too was worthy of eating by itself, so as not to mask its flavour. All round one of the best curry house experiences that I have had in my lifetime. A complete and utter unexpected pleasure on my part, since this is the first time I have been back in this restaurant since 2007, when it was Le Spice. The total bill, including drinks and my extra takeaway dhansk was £55. Very reasonable. Hot towels were served once we had finished eating and After Eight mints were served with the bill. They also do a Banquet night on a Wednesday for £15.95 per person for any starter, any main course, any side dish and rice or a bread included. Which is excellent value. This restaurant is highly recommended by me. I will be returning and I may even have my 60th birthday party here in a couple of years time. Thank you for a truly wonderful culinary experience.
