Opened 2 years ago, this is another in the small local chain of up-market restaurants run by the Choudhury family. It occupies a large site on the main A224 road which was formerly a Spanish restaurant. A sizeable car park provides ample parking. It provides 180 seats in spacious surroundings and modern decor, with part being in an extensive conservatory overlooking the small garden.

As well as the more common dishes the menu contains many unusual ones, some very imaginative and enticing. The food was all very enjoyable although the vegetable dishes - Dal Palak (Dal with spinach), Sabzi Curry (mixed vegetable) and Sabzi Haryali (vegetables cooked with mint and coriander) - were all very mildly spiced and could have done with a little more zip for my tastes. Nevertheless, they were all good - subtle spicing and flavours, succulent pieces of chicken and so on. The only other thing that I found slightly off-putting was that they were all a bit too oily.

Service generally good once seated although frenetic at the ‘meeting and greeting’ stage (arriving customers were urged to sit in the waiting area whereupon the person doing the urging then proceeded to become busily engaged in activities - gathering drinks orders, serving other people, taking orders - rather than attending to your arrival and seeing if your table was ready. This generally gave the impression you were forgotten in the waiting area. However, a quiet word with the manager after five minutes or so quickly produced results. And it was a Saturday night when, if not booked, a long much longer wait might ensue!

Portions quite adequate. Prices slightly above average but not exorbitantly so for a better class than average restaurant. However, they do maintain this extremely irritating practice of leaving a space on the credit card slip for gratuity, even though a 10% service charge is automatically added to the bill (the menu says this is paid at the customers discretion -  I wonder how many use this discretion and ask for it to be removed or reduced!)
