Been several times now and it is simply the best tasting Indian food I have eaten bar none. Service was initially slow but the chef wonders from table to table to make sure customers are happy even replacing meals if they are too hot, the staff in general where very friendly. The room is small and does get noisy and prices are average in general but seem low compared to quality of the food. Will continue to return and bring others to share the experience I have not been disappointed yet and do not expect to be. (sryke - See my reviews (2) - June, 2009)

We waited at least 15 minutes before anyone came to take our drink order even. The place was really busy with not enough staff to cover the number of people present. After ordering we had been waiting half an hour for our food and I asked the waitress if our food was coming anytime soon. She was not very pleasant and indicated that it would be coming soon and we should understand that they are very busy tonight. I am sorry but service is all important and it is not my problem that they didn't have enough staff and I should not have to be understanding about their predicament. The chicken tikka masala was way too hot. I have never had one this hot before. The place was incredibly noisy with tables really close together. We will not return no matter how good the food is.
