    Best curry and dining experience we've had for a few years. Lovely staff, lovely food and nice surroundings. Seeing the chefs cooking at the back adds to the experience and it was well worth our trip up from Manchester. We can't wait to go back.

    Went for a meal after hearing a number of friends speaking highly of this place. Really impressed with the food and service. The building is quite small and intimate in a really old building. Nice, intimate atmosphere. Food was of a really high standard and probably the best Indian i have tried. Host is a lovely, friendly guy with a cracking, local accent who can't do enough to make your meal enjoyable. Would definitely go back. Well done

    Best Indian in the area. The interior is lovely, service was great and the poppadoms were 10/10, starters were excellent and main course was great too. We went there tonight and it was packed as there was a birthday party next to us but the service was so quick and lovely food, we told the manager this and he offered us free drinks next time we come! Top quality restaurant, would definitely recommend and will be coming again.

    Excellent food. The restaurant is really interesting. It's a converted old pub. There's a beautiful multi fuel stove. Lovely friendly service and great atmosphere.
