Poor service from a rude waiter who brought us out food we hadn't ordered on top of what we did and tried to charge us for it, bones in the 'boneless' chicken dish, 3 main dishes being served to 3 different people with a 10 minute gap between each coming out.

Food was good and value for money. But just did not like it just wanted to get out. Waiters a bit rude and just didn't seem to want to be there. You can take your own alcohol as they do not sell it. More

We sampled quite a few dishes. The food was not spicy as most Indian dishes, but very tasty. The Grilled sampler was the winner. Got more than we paid for.Pricewise inexpensive. Nice atmosphere above street level. More
