I rarely add reviews but this merited it. Decided on a takeaway for Easter. Lamb Shashlik probably the best I've had (and I've had a few). Thoroughly enjoyed the food collected from their very comfortable bar area at the appointed time and staff were very polite and pleasant. Happy Easter all (you made mine)
This is a gem hidden in the village of Dinnington, on the main through road north. Everything about it is superb, from the decor, the staff, the menu and the ambience. Recommended to go early (open from five) or to book ahead. We've always been OK for a table as a walk-in, but sometimes it was the last free table of the evening.
Delicious takeaway collected from their venue. Food was delicious and popping hot. Full of taste & flavour. We have also recently dined in this venue on a weekday night and found the service very good.
Staff here are so lovely! Very friendly and good with kids. Food was absolutely gorgeous, portions are massive could not even finish my food
Great experience, wonderful food, full of flavour and so glad to see place busy, vibrant with people waiting for a table to become free.
Lovely food and great service. Best Indian meal I have ever had. Did a special deal for 12 of us. Highly recommend x
I booked a table for 3 on a Saturday evening, with the request that our table was not under a music speaker as some of our party was hard or hearing. This request was fully accepted and provided The reason I mentioned this , Many Many times I have made this request at other restaurants, only to be ignored or argued with. So it wash refreshing to have my request granted so graciously Thank you btw the food was excellent Thank you
We have been here multiple times and satisfied everytime. This review is from our most recent dine in. We ordered onion bhaji, keema naan, chapati, tikka masala with rice. Papadoms which the kids loved (staff was also generous to give moree). Generous serving, good food. Happy with all the food we ordered. Everything is halal.
