Firstly I would say that the food was excellent. Genuinely good Indian food. The reason it only gets three stars is down to the rather unfriendly way we were greeted, and the slightly slow service. I'm sure both of these were due to lack of staff because of covid, and so I fully understand the delays, but the lack of friendliness was not really acceptable.
