🍽️ Review:

This is the new place to be! 👏👏👏

Firstly before I get into the food I just want to point out how lovely and picturesque the restaurant is, a lot of time and money has gone into this place and it's really paid off, beautiful inside 👌

In terms of the food... outstanding!

Now I've known the owner Shah for a little while from previous restaurants that he ran, and I said just to surprise us with dishes, so we did not know what to expect but I am happy to say we were blown away by everything we received.

Loved the Shami kebab, basically minced kebab with what I think was an omelette on top? it was delicious in any case. Bombay Aloo Chops were again lovely and the Garlic Naga Wings well they were incredible, not gonna lie my eyes did water a little 😅 (not for the faint of heart)

And on to the mains, both of the curries were delicious. Hayley had the Butter Chicken and this was lovely, mildly spiced but very flavorsome.

I had Deshi Naga Kalai Lamb and this was ridiculously good, very spicy and very unique in flavour... really not sure I can compare it to previous dishes I've tried which is saying something. The lamb was super tender too!

We also loved the 1988 Grill, everything was cooked perfectly and very nicely seasoned.

Needless to say I highly recommend you visit this place ASAP!

We were on a drive through holiday and someone had recommended the restaurant also went by reading the reviews whilst we were in the area we decided to go, one mistake we made we forgot to book a table but seeing we were close to opening time my husband asked and they said they would give us a table if we could give the table back by 7, there was about 1 1/2 we said fine, we felt rushed but glad to have the table. The starters looked good but lacked taste and bland Infact I had to ask for salt, the onion bhaji was oily, the mains were bland as the starter, my husband has said clearly no butter on the naan well they only gone and put double butter on one and about the same on the other, first the guy didn’t want to change this even though it was their mistake, my husband said he doesn’t like butter on his naan, whilst this happened we just had to wait, the food got cold, we felt rushed by them, there was ten minutes left we asked for coffee and was told sorry we need the table, looking around there were lot of tables empty after we paid up someone brought the towel, didn’t ask if we wanted desert, when we asked them to pack the left over Briyani the guy brought a container and mumbled that we had to pack it ourself, well thank you very much for your service. This restaurant is the worse hence my review and the rating, the food lacked taste, I found them to be rude, they could have accommodated us by moving us to another empty table when we asked for coffee, instead they made us feel bad, we are a paying customer and should have been treated just like the others customer instead treating us bad. We will not be visiting this restaurant again and will not recommend...

We were sat in the section by the door and it was absolutely freezing. We told multiple waiters but none of them did anything. They didn’t even attempt to look at the radiator behind us to see if they could get it working. It doesn’t help that there’s no tablecloths on the tables and they are also freezing cold due to the material they are made from.

The cocktails on the menu look really cheap but the reason for this is because they are non alcoholic which is not stated on the menu.

We asked for water for the table. They brought us a jug but with no glasses.

Plates were brought out ready for the food and all of our plates were cold. They really should be warmed.

Food was nice but they started clearing the table whilst we were all still eating. This is very off putting whilst you’re trying to eat. I’ve seen on another review that they did this but because plates were ‘stacked high’. No plates were stacked on our table and the whole party was still eating.

Food was nice but I wouldn’t return. The main restaurant looked nicer and warmer but wouldn’t want to risk going again and being sat in the foyer and the service could’ve been so much better.

Really...
