   I have been here before and was really looking forward to it, however, they now rely on plant based chicken pieces in the dishes, if you were going to try and stand out and make fantastic Indian vegetarian dishes it’s better to make from scratch than base the dish around quorn, not even going to talk about the worst naan I’ve ever had !

   This was well worth the long walk from our hotel in the rain. The service was friendly and the food absolutely delicious. We had the Love to Share platter followed by Gobi Manchurian with Black House Dhal and Pulav Rice. Very good value too.

   Good Indian food and nice service. Quiet. Price is reasonable, there’s a 12.5% service fee added.

   We have visited this restaurant often in the past and thoroughly enjoyed the authentic Gujarati dishes. Unfortunately on this visit we were very disappointed as the wonderful previous menu had been replaced by a short menu. Our starters were disappointing in taste and we felt that we could have bought these in any high street supermarket!! The main ingredient in all the starters was overwhelmingly potatoe. Nothing like the previous authentic gujerati fare. We used to absolutely love the “chat platter” from the previous menu. The similar dishes on the new menu proved extremely underwhelming. Seemed to us that there was a new chef on the scene who has no idea of cooking these dishes!! We will definitely not be going back there and will not recommend it to anyone else.

   The service was the best I have ever had at any restaurant, and the food was amazing with a delicious taste.

   I think the service could’ve been better. Some of the furniture was tatty and also the food could’ve been better.

    Good food, terrible service. They brought our drinks over one by one with it taking about half an hour between the first and the last drink. By the time we finally had all of our drinks we had finished the poppadoms but had not yet ordered our mains. The food was good when it eventually arrived, though they gave us the bill before we’d finished eating and had added an automatic service charge of 12.5%. Adding a tip on our behalf would annoy me even if the service was great, but giving yourself a large tip on such poor service is beyond a joke.
