UPDATE: Updating the rating to 1 star from 3 stars because the restaurant is lying. I made the order and my partner did not speak even a single word about the things we ordered. Upon asking why it was added the server did specifically mention that we add chutney tray automatically if a papadom is ordered. We both had the same experience and my partner had her own views. It is sad that we are being accused of lying instead of restaurant taking the constructive feedback and fixing things in it's establishment. We are all for supporting small businesses but if you lie to your customers on a public platform then it doesn't make you look nice. As far as reservations are concerned, we were not asked if we had a reservation. If the restaurant did not have space then you could've just said to us and we would've walked. And people reading the reviews can see our profile to check how many reviews we have written and if they really are fake. :)

We were 2 and we ordered 2 papadoms, chicken tikka, chicken shashlik bhuna, tarka daal, garlic naan, cheese naan and a couple of soft drinks. Total bill: £42.95

The good: Chicken pieces were tender, naan was really soft and the tarka daal was really nice with garlic flavour. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice and cosy with bollywood songs playing in the background. The restaurant is BYOB so that is good as well.

The bad: We did not order chutney tray which was added to our order by the restaurant staff and served to us, initially we thought the chutneys were complimentary but they were not. Upon asking why it was added, the answer we got was the tray always comes if you order papadoms. Then why is it on the menu if it is "automatically" served with each papadom? Doesn't make sense at all. It should be the other way around if it has to be this way. This should be clearly written on the menu or the staff should tell the customer when taking the order instead of just adding it in the bill. This is not about the £2.95 being added to your bill, it is about the clarity for the customer.

The coke and sprite we ordered were not served out of cans they were just filled in a glass from either the bar or the kitchen, the menu showed cans but there was no fizz in drinks and were either watered down or served from a bigger bottle which was flat.

The chicken tikka was not authentic, it did not look like it was charred in the clay oven like it should be.
