A frequent place and we travel over an hour to visit with family and friends. I have never been let down from the courtesy and friendly warm service from the waiters to the exquisite taste of the the food the mix grill is to die for, unique with flavoursome sauces and good marination. The Karahi and Balti are also lovely. Nadeem is always warm and welcoming and spends time and effort to make us feel welcome. A must try for anyone who loves Desi food!

Been a regular customer for almost 10 years. Always a smashing karahi, fresh and full of flavour. The tarka daal is a very under rated dish that most people will make the mistake of skipping, but believe me, it’s a must try.

Ive eaten in this place for over 8years. The service is quick and friendly. The food has always been spot on.like home cooked .never been dissapointed with the food. The desi chai at the end is the best For me, they make the best chicken balti. If you are in the area give it a try.

I was brought here by some friends who strongly recommended it. Ordered chicken and lamb Karai and dhal, mango lassi with naan and roti. Had achar, some mint sauce and salad. Absolutely everything was incredibly tasty. Cant fault a thing, service was great. Chai at the end was exactly what we needed. I will also note a few of the previous 1 star reviews are fraudulent and from customers who brought in alcohol and then put up fake reviews with “Muslim names”. I have reported them, please report them too.
