    Cute and colourful decor, very tasty food with lots of options including amazing value set meals. I had a thali that came with about 8 different dishes, perfectly portioned. Service was pleasant and well paced with a smile. Wonderful value for money. I would definitely go back.

    The setting is small but cosy. There is a good choice on the menu if you want to sample South Indian food. As vegetarians we were amply catered for. The service was excellent. The food was hot and well presented. We chose to come on word of mouth recommendation and will certainly come back. The Friday Thalia looks enticing.

    Food was amazing, I cannot complain. We liked all the food we ordered and had a great time. Unfortunately the waitress accidentally knocked a glass of sangria over someone in our party and yet it was still on the bill for us to pay. I would have expected it to be taken off or reduced as although he could have more from the jug he bought he lost a whole glass.

    I was worried after the refurb that Jaffna house might not be the same, but it's still brilliant. A great menu with delicious food, friendly staff and a much-improved dining area

    I have brought my friends to the restaurant over the years. The food was good and we enjoyed tasting different dishes. We also liked the friendly staff and their service. However, please make sure that all food ordered are served. Thank you and very best wishes

    Food was unreal, as always. Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. Didn't get everything we ordered but weren't charged for the things that didn't arrive and the portions were so big it didn't matter. Staff very friendly. Strongly recommend.
