This is the best Indian Restaurant we have eaten at. Keep up the good work! We have eaten at the Tara the day they opened. The food is as delicious today as it was in 1989. The portions are still as big as they were the day they opened and the owner still has the same passion for his restaurant as in the early days.
My favourite has always been the Chicken Madras and vegetable Korma along with the best Naan. Today is no exception.

We have tried many...
