    Avoid this place! Unwelcoming staff. I booked this table through Wowcher, as soon as we got there, I said that I got the Wowcher codes for all you can eat, the man kept moaning and saying we don’t make any money from Wowcher, I said well you shld not advertise on there then. He said just order some drinks and I will sort it out. The wine was watered down my husband had a beer aswell as my father in law. I then said we would like some poppadoms, he raised his eyes, I asked if that is a problem, he kept going on about Wowcher, we got up and left, he had already taken the Wowcher codes, I am now fighting to get my money back. We went to another Indian restaurant and I had to pay £123 for the meal. So annoyed at this restaurant. Don’t go there awful.

    The food was excellent, and the service was amazing. They were able to prepare my dinner at the spice level I requested and also the side dishes were delicious.
