This reviewer went with two others for dinner, whilst on holiday. We parked in the restaurant's car park, from where one of us observed the kitchen for a couple of minutes before pronouncing herself satisfied with the hygiene and handling. We went in nevertheless without elevated expectations, which were not raised by the wait we had to go through for a table on a Saturday night. However, we started chatting to a local couple who also were waiting, for their take-away, who told us that this was their regular restaurant with which they were very happy. We observed how well the restaurant dealt with a pair of tipsy ladies who entered for a meal at what seemed to be their regular restaurant.

Before and after we sat down we ordered, a process which took a bit longer as there were items which were not at all usual. We ate several items, all of which were very good, but I have to give special mention to two non-standard items we ate: mushroom stuffed with minced beef and chicken cooked in a mango and coconut sauce. We all agreed this was one of the very best meals we ever had had at an Indian restaurant.

The staff were well-mannered and friendly, and we chatted with one of the co-owners, who informed us that the restaurant had been started 34 years previously by his grandfather. It was obvious that someone at least in the family was a perfectionist, judging not just by the food and by decor (which was a cut above most Indian restaurants), but by what one of the party said about the cleanliness of the male toilet he visited! The meal ended with the offering to us of hot serviettes and mint chocolates, which was a nice touch.
