Absolutely fantastic, authentic, clean and full of flavour. I cannot speak highly enough of the food. I loved being able to enjoy small portions this made it possible for us to enjoy a large selection of different dishes, it made our dining experience so much more enjoyable. I can't think of one dish I enjoyed more than the other. If you have the chance, order everything. The owner even came to our table to make sure everything was of high standard and we were enjoying...

First time visiting this place with a group of friends and the food was delicious! I had the Lamb biriyarti, cooked very well, the meat was soft and tender and the herbs/ spices gave me a kick but it was still good! The atmosphere is laid back, not so noisy and Family friendly. I will definitely be back!

Manchurian Gobi was delicious. Complex flavors with classic favorites: Vindaloo Lamb and Chicken Tikka Masala. The Rice Paola was sooo good! Lovely restaurant family/couple owned. Prices are reasonable in today’s climate with generous portions- we love the leftovers. Excellent!
