I went here with my elderly parents and they were treated like royalty by a very patient waitress which was lovely. We took a risk and ordered Indian wine and it was actually very good. This is proper Indian food...no other restaurant around really does that.

My wife and I booked for lunch on a Friday. This place is easy to find (it's on the corner of a croosraod junction).

Authentic, uncompromisingly good Southern Indian food in very pretty surroundings.
