I dined with 3 people - one of us has coeliac who, based on previous experiences, is very cautious to go out and order food in a restaurant with reassurance that it is gluten free. The staff here were fantastic and very accommodating of our needs, reassuring us multiple times that the poppadoms and other dishes were gluten free which was a huge relief. Happy to report that our coeliac diner had no ill effects (which can even happen with supermarket GF bread) so this was a huge plus and an excellent meal. The food we did order was incredible - I'm still thinking about their rum beef ribs and the goat and chicken curries we ordered were as good as any multi-award winning curry houses in the UK. Can't recommend the service and the food enough, although I'd recommend they light up the stairs a little better because they're a bit tricky to navigate after dark!

Flavoursome food, portions were good. good service and staff very attentive. Can get noisy when the restaurant is full. slightly on the expensive side, but justifiable as service & food is top quality. Will be back for sure.
