Very expensive curry.

Attentive service, lovely restaurant and tables.. Staff were polite and attentive. BUT £5 for a naan bread? £14 for a chicken byriani?? £74 for 3 people eating one main course plus 2 poppadoms between us and one drink each
Chicken tikka main course was very dry and nothing special. Very expensive. Most dishes are £15+ Poppadoms are £1 each plus extra for dips that are then removed when your main course arrives
Will not come back.

Amazing food great value, but overpriced drinks

Amazing food we had the wed buffet great value and a good selection of food to choose from. Was catered for very well as a coeliac for gluten free food and the manager was very knowledgeable and careful to make sure I had the right things. Would love to return but was very disappointed in the very overpriced drinks. £3.50 for a small diet coke and £3.50 for a small bottle of water is unacceptable.
