Had a really good experience here. The lady and the two chefs were very pleasant and friendly. The chef gave us a complementary fish pakora to try; which was very nice, I'm ordering that next time.Starter and main were Excellent. We were served a free jug of water, which was all we had to drink. It felt like there was no pressure to buy expensive drinks like other restaurants. Very relaxed atmosphere, music was quiet enough to speak over . Very reasonable prices. Definitely going back. Thanks
Ordered takeaway this evening on the off chance as live round the corner. Never been before. We ordered chicken and spinach masala, coming from curry capital Bradford I have not yet found the high standards of their curry’s whilst living in Huddersfield and I have lived here 17 years. Until now. This was the best curry I’ve had in years. Amazing will be back. 😀
We recently hosted our small engagement party here, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The staff went above and beyond to make everything feel special — from helping us organize the setup to ensuring every guest was looked after. The food was incredible — fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Everyone was raving about it all night! The atmosphere was just right — intimate, elegant, and warm — exactly what we wanted for our celebration. The team’s attention to detail and genuine care really made the night unforgettable. If you’re planning any kind of special event or celebration, I couldn’t recommend this place more highly. Thank you for helping us create such amazing memories!
Nice restaurant, lovely, professional front of house staff that gave a great service. Nothing was too much trouble. The buffet has a variety of dishes and seemed to cater for the most popular ones. Some people may want more choice, but what we had was lovely and yes we would go back. Couldn't get car in to carpark due to narrow opening, so had to park on side street. Keep up the good work.
We went there back in May when we were visiting the area, we had a lovely welcome from the lady who owns the place who greeted us and than showed us to our table. The food was lovely and the staff were helpful with catering for out child as well! The decor and interior of the restaurant was beautiful!
