Tasty foodFriendly staffGenerous portions
Service and food exceptional. Starters on the house to share. Desert for birthday girl on the house too. Quick service and very friendly waiters. Portions very generous and always offering extra rise or other sides if required. Definitely will come back.
Only if there was a negative star as an option to put .
We did the reservation for 8 pm on Saturday in September. I went with my family and had to wait for around 20 mins. However, when we got the table, there was no menu card provided, and no one asked for anything. After waiting for 15 mins, my father-in-law asked one of waiters to give the menu card .
We did the order, and got the starters.
Next, thing , we didn't know that for the main course, we have to wait for around an hour. So, I am not sure if the service was slow or they have lack of cook/ chef in the kitchen.
One hour for the main course and when it got served, none of us were particularly impressed by our orders.
In the end, we asked for the bill and seems they "realized" their mistake, a complimentary dessert was offered for the table without any apology or any kind of talk.
Not even once, during the waiting, anyone asked if we want any drink or anything.
Tbh, it was a poor experience this time, given my in-laws have been there in the past and they can feel the difference this time.
I am not sure if I should recommend this place.
So, I will only say, go at your own risk and see, you might get lucky😄.
We had an incredible experience dining here tonight. From the moment we walked in the staff were so attentive and kind, and as others have said the complimentary starter was delicious! We ordered the chicken chat and samosas as starters, but the show stoppers were definitely the main courses. We ordered the sag panir (spinach and cheese) as well as the chicken bhuni with Peshawari naan and pilau rice. WOW. So much flavour, good portion sizes, great value. Top recommendations would be the sag panir and peshawari naan! Will definitely be back!
