Nice enough food, disappointing attitude.

I was working around the corner and phoned up for a takeaway which I said I'd collect. I was told it would be £19.95 which was the price for eating in. I said "I thought there was a discount for collection...?" at which point he conceded "It'll be £15".

I was kind of irritated that he thought he'd try and 'get away' with charging me the full eat-in price for a takeaway collection and only extended the discount to me when I queried the price being quoted. When I went to collect, he wanted to take my card from me so he could tap it. I refused and said I wanted to see the amount and tap it myself. At this point, knowing the conversation we'd just had, he told me it was going to be £19.95 because I was paying by card. (Makes me wonder if he was just going to tap it for a higher amount without my knowledge which is tantamount to fraud.) I contested this, saying that he never said this on the phone (I didn't have cash on me). Eventually, he conceded and I was charged £15.

This was all very needless but spoilt what was otherwise a reasonable takeaway. I'd have been a regular customer because I'm working in the area a lot, and would have gladly visited to dine in with colleagues, but not after this unnecessarily confrontational experience that could have easily...

A complete disappointment! When you have been brought up eating good Curries from the north. Then this place is not for you. With flavours and spice range obviously set for inexperienced this curry house is not authentic by any means.

Our bhajis (my usual favourite) were bland and greasy. When I said this to the very rude waiter he tasted them in front of me and said they have sold hundred of them tonight and that there was nothing wrong. They did however take them on the menu.

The pilau rice had no fragrance, it had no saffron or cardamom. Tiny fried onion slithers being a poor at passing off saffron.

The rotis had never seen a tandoor. Having a cardboard texture, they inedible.

Service was lightening fast. To the point our mains were brought out within seconds of our starter by the very rude staff. Making us feel rushed and uncomfortable. A prime example of get them in and out as quick as possible.

Portions are small.

Our one star is given from the one sauce in the main course being well flavoured. Having said that the meat was substandard quality.

A sad ending to an otherwise...
