    Good quality, food but limited vegetarian choices. Helping and knowledgeable staff. Tamarind is a better choice if you are a vegetarian

    The staff at the front desk were very good as were the serving staff. The server provided an allergy and ingredient list for every dish on the menu. The food was well received by my guests.

    Excellent food and wine and attentive service. The Chicken Biriani was the best I’ve had. Main courses very good value other than the Lamb Shank that was small and quite expensive. Starters smallish portions (Samosa’s and kebabs) but very tasty.
