  Came for a meal on valentines and the food was lovely. Quick service given how busy it was and good understanding of dairy as an allergen. They gave out roses to everyone who came to eat in and ordered a takeaway which was a lovely touch

  By the far the best restaurant we have been to. Fantastic authentic flavours and a nice setting, staff were super friendly and we met the lovely owner. Chicken tikka biryani , lamb Karai, shahi chicken bhuna, medium size plain Nan and the Karai came with complimentary rice & we even got a tarka dall. Not a single thing was not 5 stars here. Smells, Tastes, Atmosphere, Staff. The fact you have a hot plate in front of you to keep everything warm. Fantastic and the service was immaculate. Swindon you are lucky to have this place on your doorstep.

  Friendly service in a huge three building restaurant. Food was okay. Butterfly king prawn batter was too thick and quite oily. Chicken was a bit tough and sauce was lacking in depth but otherwise okay. Beer tasted a bit watered down. Front of house/bar wasn't really manned and just some guy counting cash which looked very unprofessional and sat in his coat (it did feel a bit chilly so not enticing to stay and have a drink afterwards). Staff were otherwise pleasant and friendly.

  The food was pretty good, not the best I ever had (but a long shot), but 4 start worthy nonetheless. There were two waiters though who constantly came by to ask for things. It got a little annoying to be honest
