Taken here the first time as part of our work team's end of year celebrations. The food was amazing, the wine selection diverse and the service outstanding. The serving sizes were a tad small in the banquet when sharing among eight, but for a smaller group may have been fine. (gastroccentric - See my reviews (24) - December, 2008)

Great food. Good location. Quick service - a bit too quick. Would have been nice to stay a bit longer.

Thanks for the complimentary wine. (Vik - August, 2008)

Overall 8.3 - Food 8, Ambience 9, Value 7, Service 9

Great tasting food and friendly attentive staff. The size of the mains in the banquet were a bit on the small side for a group of 6 people but apart from that it was a very enjoyable experience. A pleasant surprise was a vegetarian substitute in the entree` for the one vegetarian in our group which the staff did without being requested to do so. Would definitely recommend you give this restaurant a try! (June, 2008)

Overall 6.8 - Food 7, Ambience 7, Value 5, Service 8

Quick friendly and efficient service. Although the food was above average standard to my taste it could have done with a little more spice and seasoning. The only disappointment was the size of some servings which were too small for one person let alone when sharing. (JR - See my reviews (4) - May, 2008)

Overall 7.8 - Food 7, Ambience 8, Value 8, Service 8

Overall 9.3 - Food 10, Ambience 8, Value 9, Service 10

I took my husband there in search of a good Vindaloo and I must say their vindaloo is up there with the best we have had and certainly brings on a sweat.

The service was brillant and it was a very relaxing and enjoyable evening and we will certainly be visiting them again for our next curry. (February, 2008)
