  Lovely food every time we go. I had the butter chicken and it was very very tasty. Friendly and fast service.
  
  Very annoying that you can only pay cash however. In this day and age it seems very silly to not have other payment options.

  Having eat here a few weeks ago and the service was very good, if not slow. Am now totally disgusted at what we have learnt about this place and will never go here again!!
  
  Clearly our first experience was a facade for what is really going on. We went in there last night hoping to have another reasonably priced well-presented meal as before.
  
  There was a little wait which was fine whilst a table was cleared and prepared for us. When we sat down a person (hopefully not waiter) was putting the finishing touches to the table with the cutlery, plates and paper napkins. We ignored the tattoos, shorts and metal work in his face, but the smell of – ahem cigarettes was impossible to ignore!! He was a pleasant chap though and apologised for leaning over us. We really shouldn’t have been seated until the table was properly ready.
  
  Anyway whilst we sat there, we noticed children at the table next to us pawing of the chutneys with their sticky hands going from one bowl to another with the spoons and then into their mouths. Our own children pulling faces at each other spoke volumes about what was going on at the next table. A while longer and the waiter came over and offered us a menu, asked if we wanted poppadum’s which we did and as he walked past the next tabled grabbed the chutney tree from the table. A few moments later he appeared with it and placed it down on our tabled.
  
  It was splatted with chutneys around the bowls, the spools all sticky etc. I picked it up and handed it back to him and asked if it was fresh. He claimed it was. I expected a no to the next question but disgustingly got a yes. I asked if it was the same ones he;d just taken from the next table. ! all he’d done was to take it to the kitchen, top it up and bring it back. I asked him to take it away, throw it away and get a fresh one. He said no.! that’s what we do here, I said that its disgusting and we’re not eating contaminated food. He just said we’ve always done this, there’s nothing wrong it. At that point we up and left.
  
  Absolutely disgusting.. We found ourselves in a local pub and retold the story to the bar maid and she said’ oh yes’ they’re well known for that sort of thing, we never eat in there. And that’s from a local !!
