I only live a couple of minutes from this place yet only been in twice, the first time being around 10 years ago. From the outside it doesn't look very promising, typically very dark with no one in it. However this is because it is only open to dine in on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday, otherwise it's only open for takeaways. I only recently found this out from my daughter, who in turn from her father in law. Both have their takeaways from here and both are very fussy. Given this we thought we would give it a try despite some less than informative reviews. To be honest the restaurant dining area does need a bit of TLC but that's the only downside, and conversely the gents toilet is immaculate. We enjoyed the poppadoms and dips but didn't have starters and went straight to mains. I had a very flavoursome Desi Chicken tikka and the wife a chicken balti, we both thought they were excellent, definitely as good as anywhere and better than most. Just as my daughter had promised and to be honest I was surprised. I am not a fan of technicolour pilau rice and the naan bread is a grilled rather than from the tandoor but both tasted just fine. The service was pleasant enough and the bill extremely good value, helped by being able to take your own alcohol. Whilst in there I did notice that there was a busy takeaway trade which must keep it going.
