This 60-seater is comfortably furnished with a pleasant decor and, situated as it is on the top of a hill about a mile from the village of Charing, those sitting by the window have an excellent view over the North Downs during daylight hours. A large car park outside caters for its out of town location.

Unusually the restaurant doesn’t display a menu outside, so first time diners enter without knowing whether the menu is standard high street or wildly innovative, nor what the prices are like. In the event it is a standard high street curry house menu with all the usuals at fairly standard high street prices. However, the food is slightly  better than the  standard high street fare. I have been three times in recent years and each time the food has been enjoyable. Chicken Tikka Dansak was above average in a thick, dark tasty sauce, Tarka Dall very tasty and again better than I've had elsewhere recently, Tandoori Chicken a good standard, and vegetable dishes such as Mixed Vegetable Bhaji and Aloo Gobi all nicely spiced - almost a peppery taste. A good standard formula curry. 

Service good, and despite not being in a town or village centre it has been going for a number of years (since about the mid nineties I believe) so it must be satisfying its customers. All in all a pleasant meal in a pleasant restaurant and I have no hesitation in returning when I'm in the area.
