The starter was delicious, I had the samosa chaat. The main was a bit disappointing. I had the lamb madras and was expecting a good spicy kick, however, there has hardly and spice heat to it at all. The plain naan was nice and fresh tasting

Went during lunch and got the lunch special and for my second time trying Indian food, it was decent. Better than the first time but nothing special in my opinion. Butter chicken came out hot and was indeed buttery, the dessert it came with was like a plain timbit with some cold syrup on top so it wasn't too bad, it did come with a large piece of naan which I don't think I finished. To be honest my favourite thing I got was the Samosa.

Indian dishes as we like them in gourmet and tasty sauces, fragrant without being too spicy.
With a portion of basmati rice the portions are generous and sufficient.
An address to remember and discover.
