Massively disappointed with the food. My group aren't particularly foodie types and we're not too fussy but this was honestly one of the worst meals I've ever eaten at a restaurant. My onion bhaji arrived only slightly warm and was the blandest thing ever. Onion bhajis from Asda have more flavour! The vegan burger was the worst burger I've ever eaten. Like my starter, it arrived only slightly warm and yet was a little burnt. And again, it just had no flavour. It was served in a cheap bun with limp salad and chips that quickly went cold. Chatting with the others in my group they mentioned that their food was bland and that curries tasted watery.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was a little weird. It didn't feel authentically Indian/South Asian. The whole experience felt like an Indian meal watered down to accommodate and appeal to the bland taste of elderly British people.
The one star is for the servers who were friendly and relatively attentive. I definitely won't be eating here again and definitely don't recommend it. And I'm stunned by the huge numbers of great reviews this place has received. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
With a mixed group the team catered for all our requirements from; Easy access for my elderly family, to an extensive selection of high quality vegetarian dishes to an affordable tasty menu.
All staff were extremely attentive and ensured my special event was a the best experience possible.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and we continue to visit without doubt.
Absolutely amazing food in general and a great atmosphere - apart from a couple of screaming infants, though clearly that wasn't the restaurants fault. It's a LOT better than your average curry house and is situated in the countryside so has some impressive gardens too.
Well worth the drive to get there. Cannot recommend enough.
