"I can't judge this beautiful place high enough. from the greeting to the payment of the bill, it is all just the tip of its game. my wife and I came without the booking on the Easter Friday on the off-chain of a table and were greeted without hesitation, we were surprised how big the place is and how busy it was. the whole place is immaculately clean, even the loos! we had poppadome with some incredibly fresh and tasty pickles while we looked through the extensive menu and loved the selection of traditional dressing. I ordered the rajasthani laal maas and my wife had a lamb sashlik, along with a say and aloo, garlauch naan and the rice dishes. our food came in good time and tasted absolutely amazing! that is undoubtedly one of the best meal times we have ever had. the aromen were so fresh and tasty about everything we had expected. as always we have ordered and fought to eat everything, but we gave it a good thing! when we had to fill our tellers, our tellers were cleaned and we received free slices of orange, it was very refreshing after the meal and we polished them out while we look through the dessert menu, we wish we had space to put one in our over full beak! we were then treated with a free shot sambuca for me and a very nice tia maria for my wife, the sambuca was deleted with a magic finger click from the waiter, but unfortunately I drove so not partake. when the bill arrived, we were pleasantly surprised how low it considered the quality of eating and amazing service. overall a brilliant night that I would recommend to everyone, not only a beautiful meal, but a fantastic experience."

"We often come here for Sunday carvery which is very good so thought we would try an evening meal for my Mum's birthday. I am afraid the overall service let down the whole experience. When we arrived, instead of being taken to our table by the waitress, she just pointed and said you are at that table over there. After being to a busy bar area to get our drinks we found out that the 2 waitress standing around did not take orders so we had to go back to the busy bar again and wait to give our food orders. When the food came it was very good, especially my seafood platter. Everyone thought the food was good except for my Mum who had gone for one of the specials. It was so poor especially for being a special. She had one tiny piece of fish with no sauce, 4-5 very small new potato's, a few carrots and a few bits of broccoli. All the veg was hard and there was not enough to satisfy even a person with the smallest appetite. We told the waitress about the hard veg but she just said oh right and there was no apology. When we spoke to the chap at the bar and said why don't the waitress take the orders he said he liked people to come to the bar so the staff could meet them. We all felt this was a lame reason and probably did not trust the teenage waitresses to take the orders. It is a real shame as the place is lovely and the food generally is pretty good but is missing a professional touch. We said we would not return for an evening meal but just stick to the Sunday Carvery."
