All-around disappointing experience on Christmas Day; slow and inattentive service, forgotten drink orders, sub-par food. Over 3 hours for a relatively simple 4 course pre-set menu meal. Not sure what happened as usually this place is top-notch, but not this time. They can do better.

The Christmas Lunch/Dinner was incredibly overpriced and service was very poor. Food was good but I would’ve rather gone elsewhere at this price. We were sat 40 minutes after our reservation despite arriving 10 minutes ahead of time. We were told to go have a drink while we wait implying it was complimentary but we ended up being charged for the drinks which were very expensive. The service during the dinner was lackluster and the dinner was 3 hours long. By the time we arrived at the main course we were tired and ready to go home after sitting around for 2+ hours with barely any food. 340£ for two was not even close to being worth it with such poor service and okay food.

Great Indian food in a town with high standards for Indian food. Service was welcoming and attentive. We dined there for Christmas Day lunch, and it was the right mix of special but not stuffy.

Delicious food and beautiful dining room with very attentive and lovely service. We had a wonderfully delicious and authentically Indian (my father is Indian and usually doesn’t like eating out at Indian restaurants because of how Europeanized the flavors are most of the time(he thoroughly enjoyed his food)) Christmas dinner. 100% recommend coming here and we will definitely be back

Service was fantastic for the first hour then as the place filled service dropped to below average. I don’t think they had enough staff to keep up. Food was delicious!
