Very popular with lots of regulars but I've never left there feeling full or happy. That said I only go about once a year and occasional take away. Tasty food small portions . The last time we went every meal was PINK! Their explanation it's local speciality cuisine?

Now Jaflong run by the owner Ivey and his team, every dish is freshly prepared and each dish prepared carefully and worth the wait. Light as air naan breads, melt in the mouth mutton. Unbelievable value for money too and byob. Great weekday offers including " Staff curry night" for £9.95 and 5 courses for £10.

Food Average at best, although generally the Indian restaurants in Ripon are pretty poor. The guy in charge here has a reputation for being rude, and he lived up to it. if you are reading this "Head waiter/boss" have you thought of getting a job you actually like, speaking to people as if they were groups of school children..I won't be back. Bill came in at over £100 bearing in mind the six of us brought our own drink, no one had sweets. do yourself a favour people drive to Harrogate it's no more expensive and the food and service are ten times better.

Another good restaurant. Hence it's survival in the "shark infested waters" of restaurant competition. And the credit crunch. You can take your own alcohol. Staff are efficient and pleasant. The food great. And a great ambience.

Very tasty, very helpful staff, I've only ever had take aways and the wait is sometimes quite long but that's because they cook each meal fresh to order and it's well worth the wait. Truly delicious.
