So disappointed won’t be serving up the food I...

My wife felt extremely embarressed & uncomfortable in front of the other customers in the restaurant having to leave...Also the waiter was not very pleasant & place is in need of a update to the decor to be honest...so from my experiance go elswhere for your curry...
