“ Authentic taste Have been here twice, services and taste remained consistently good. Surely recommend this place to those who would like to explore Indian food. This place allows you to pre order for take away as well eat in which might help reduce the waiting time. The resto does need some extra care and possibly refurbishment which is in pipeline I'm told. Service was good, cheerful staff despite how busy they were. Huge place with seating capacity for more than 50 people. They do have a bar. Menu is quite reasonably priced. Can't believe how underrated this place is. ”

“ The food is of a high standard. It's all about the taste isn't it or why do we bother. I believe it is family run business, very friendly. The restaurant is clean, the decor could do with a slight updating.The food tastes more authentic than the regular Indian food that we are all used to, would recommend this restaurant and takeaway. ”

As we will medium it was all prepared that way but if you like it hot, no problems, they will do that for you. Wonderful, helpful staff. Will worth a visit. ”

“ Just come back from a fantastic meal here,great quality food lovely service and atmosphere. Used to be a regular at its previous restaurant Spice paradise but now has new wonders a carefully refurbished and light and brighter decor and the menu carefully reduced and improved. Still got fantastic range of vegetarian and vegan dishes but has more traditional favourites too. Definitely plan to be a regular again, and still very reasonable prices. ”

“ Absolutely loved it! Were so surprised how few customers there were considering how much we enjoyed the food and fabulous service. Delicious gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options available and clearly labelled. All dishes were authentic, flavourful and presented wonderfully. The staff were lovely and very friendly, making the evening perfect. Thank you so much! ”

“ Authentic, mostly south Indian dishes. The food is very tasty and just the right amount of heat. I would definitely come here again. If you will have a chance, try their buffer which they do once a month. I think on last Saturday of the month when you can try many of their delicious dishes ”
