Comments: Yet another example of an Indian restaurant that is the same as all the others. Onion bagis that are soggy, samosas that have mo mince or pease, just a fluffy fillin of I dont know what. All the main dishes contain a gluppy sauce and are all orange. Chicken dansac . where are the cardemom seeds? Also no indian sweets. Whats the difference between this restaurant and all the others - Nothing. They are not kooking, they are all serving the same catering pack foods.

Comments: Shame on you!! You have been caught out. Chicken Korma that looks and tastes like the other dishes. Korma should look like the Korma on the menu (Yellow and creamy) . This is the last time I am paying for food that is not what I ordered. Suspected for a long time that all the curry dishes were bought in catering packs (that's why there is no cooking small) with sprinklings of a few things added. That's also why Chicken Dansak is the wrong colour, no cardemoms and no chickpeas.

Comments: Greeted by glum waiter then it went further downhill from a place that used to be good with food (waiters here have always been miserable)and how much would it cost to supply them with T shirts to improve the look. Poppadoms arrived, old and stale, no crispness. Both starters were more a mixture of some undercooked and some overcooked chicken and one was bland with little flavour. Main courses were more like soup with some small peices of meat thrown in (sauce looked watered down). One was so sweet it was like eating sugar. Nan was undercooked and tasted like dough. Ice cream was good as was the Schnapps at the end. I have tasted more flavour in some supermarket curries. Never again, a complete waste of money.

Comments: I took the last Chicken Korma back (not the same as the picture on their menu and certainly not chicken korma). They said it was an accident, but I pointed out that this was not the first time ordered food was not what was supplied, but was the first time I brought this to their attention. So went back this week. Chicken Korma is now not pale yellow, but bright red, and the chicken Dansak was full of uncooked bullet lentils. Is this inconsistency or just conning the public - they don't get a third choice -I'm out !! Not investing in their business. I regret to say that this indicates that according to reviews, most of their customers would not know a chicken Korma from a chicken curry (if you believe the reviews) Plenty of other Indian Restaurants who do give a damn!!

Comments: Chicken curry that does not taste of Chicken is bad enough but it does reflect on the customers that are prepared to accept this food con. It is yet another example of poor food. The Chicken curry had no taste of Chicken. The only taste was of an onion sauce. Wake up brits you are being duped !!
