We were made to feel very welcome. We were a party of ten with 4 teenagers and the staff were outstanding . Our waiter Manot was extremely helpful and enthusiastic as we wanted a selection of dishes. The food was really good and I can highly recommend the samosas, the Palak Patter Chat and the Chilli Paneer. For main course we loved the Masala Fish and Meghan Makhani. Service was excellent. My only other thing to mention was that it’s worth asking for tap water as the still water was pricey and we got through 6 bottles. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will definitely return .
