“ Family run for over 20 years. The staff are amazing, really customer focused, and friendly. The restaurant was 50% full of loyal customers by 7pm. Mains are around 10-12. I had my usual chicken biryani. Jahl Bhat, it was seriously hot, tasty, and full of flavour. They dare you to try this special dish created by their own chef. Keema Naan, Prawn and chicken jalfrezi. Bring your own booze. Nice tray of treats to end the meal followed by a FREE brandy or baileys. Attended with my disabled friend who found the restaurant easy to navigate. A wonderful evening. ”
