The table was too small ( for 3)for the food, so it was cramped. Staff excellent.
January 4th I'm back. Warm welcome. Lovely music in background with flute.
Solo visit. Very nice. Ordered a few different starters as not too hungry. Again, the staff very friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere as only me and a table of 4 the other side.
2 staff constantly walk around in anticipation of a request from only 5 customers.
Gotta give them 11 out of 10 for service.
Excellent Indian, three mains, three vegetable sides, all looking fresh, different and interesting and tasting excellent. Nice to be back.
The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff couldn't do enough for us; they were really attentive but not overbearing.
They gave me a birthday cake and sang Happy Birthday, which was not requested by my partner, which I thought was a lovely touch.
If I have one criticism, I thought the wine was expensive, but it won't stop us from returning.
I highly recommend the place.
