Stunning food, our go to place for rice & 3. Curry options are great and all really tasty. Food quality is superb, always cooked well and full of flavour. Would definitely recommend for a sit down meal or takeaway, staff are also friendly and welcoming!
Just popped in for tea, it was fairly quiet so got a table. Ate in, food arrived very quickly, we had two thalis, 3 veg (channa, aloo sag, and the kidney bean one) and 1 meat (lamb karahi) 2 veg with rice and an additional paratha. All were excellent, as was the chai. Need to come back to try the chaat and the deserts and the lassi. Love the trad stainless steel thali dishes and water beakers. Very good value too.

Absolutely delicious food, menu changes daily and really good value for money as I was absolutely stuffed afterwards. It’s a shame I don’t live closer otherwise I’d be a regular!
One of the best Asian meals I’ve had! Every dish was bursting with authentic taste. Very friendly staff I’ll definitely be coming back. Thanks
Had the pleasure of having my iftar meal here, the service was excellent, warm and friendly and went the extra mile. Food was fresh and full of flavour. The atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful, would highly recommend.
Best food I have ever had. Everything was 10/10. The food.... No words to explain. Everything was spot on. Beautiful presentation amazing service and very friendly staff. Me and my friend ate and left no crumbs. Would 100% recommend and will be back for some more.
Great spot - the rice 3 option lets you get a nice assortment of dishes at a good price. All the curries I had were really tasty. Proper home style food, not food dyed generic takeaway curry.
