Top class. Desi without the risk of disaster. While not quite as good as my favourite Formica-top in Huston Green, this was up there with the best and with less oil and digestive risk.

Northern south-Asian -Punjabi/Gujerati is my favourite requiring great grill skills and a way with layering deep spiced sauces against a chilli burn and this is all done very well.

For a take out order, the staff were great when they didn’t need to be for us riff-raff - Diana in particular being proficient and kind; the deliveroo driver was offered a seat. Classy. Staff are clearly treated well to have this attitude when not actually required.

Nothing wrong; everything right ( you can tell a kitchen by its roti alone) and good value; twelve large helpings for £122 tells its own story.

Starter selection was perfect -and with something new; a grilled marinated ‘broccoli that turned out to be chicken. The lamb haldi was great, chicken haldi,all the little goujons beautifully prepared. Mixed veg a little soft for my tastes but perfectly sauced.

The spicing guide matched my palate but for those sensitive to the chilli, there are the kormas and butter chicken, both of which were sound, if uninteresting to the chilliesta.

Five stars is a rare one for me (Mayfair Chinese my last) but here well deserved.

Will go for a sit down next time because it looks gorgeous, will just dress up a bit from this time (shorts); Tipu Sultan is worth it.

While you might pay half that in the Green, and that might be more Desi offerings, Tipu Sultan wins my future custom by doing it right and doing right by people.
