Dined as a party of 4 people friday evening 11th November. The place was over half full but only one member of staff taking orders & waiting tables. He seemed pretty stressed & when we asked why our food was taking so long he told us the reason was because of take aways!!!! Really. Lamb balti was pathetic it came in a little metal bucket with little meat & no sauce. There were also bloody annoying flies around our table too this is a particular pet hate of mine. the place should be checked & sprayed before opening to paying guests.When we left there was another member of staff standing outside the front smoking & looking at his phone!

Read moreAn authentic Indian restaurant in the heart of Benimar.
We ordered the Special Menu which includes papadums and chutney, a starter, a main, rice or naan, a small beer/soft drink, ice cream or coffee.
For the starter, we had the Mixed Platter to share. It had Onion Bhaji, Tandoori Chicken, Vegetable Pakora and Chicken Pakora and it was served with three different chutneys.
For the mains, we had Lamb Rara, Prawn Madras and Sizzling King Prawns. The gravy of the Lamb Rara and Prawn Madras was aromatic and flavourful. The fluffy Mushroom Rice and soft Naan was great for soaking up every last drop of the gravy.
The staff were friendly, courteous and attentive even though it was an almost full house.
A wonderful evening out and we’ll definitely be back again to try the other selections...

Not only is the special menu great value (€30 for two including a bottle of wine) but it extends across all dishes and is not limited to certain dishes. The quality of food is excellent; the house red is very nice and our complimentary Baileys shots always put the finishing touch to a really good experience! Great food, service and value... highly...
