I love my curry and this by far is the best curry house in the city. Once you get over the ageing decor and wobbly stairs and the waiters tired waist jackets, you will enjoy their great Indian cuisine.

Reserved for ten people, placed at a table for eight with nine chairs. Service was friendly but a bit rushed. Plates and glasses were not very clean, but they made no problem replacing items. The restaurant is not very suited for little children: plates and service dishes are quite hot (this is obviously not a complaint!) and pose a danger for kids. Food was nice enough, but uninspiring and did not live up to the expectations.

Came to the restaurant in hopes of a nice Indian meal. They squeezed us in without a reservation, which was nice of them. Their portions are small for the price and they charge for everything so careful when they ask you if you'd like pappadam or water. Had a lamb Gosht that was nice, and the worst chicken tikka Marsala I've ever had in my life. Definitely wouldn't recommend.

Terribly saddened to submit this review, but this restaurant was one that I was anticipating to try and visit. Having previously worked next door to the place and intrigued by their long history of standing there and having 'legendary' food, I was hoping it would be worth the go. The vegetarian samosas were average and their Bombay potatoes, mushroom Bhaji and rice needed a pinch of salt. Aside from the great mango lassi size (that was not too sweet) and the kind waiters and friendly service I'd wish I could rate this higher. After a happy meal to end a Friday dinner evening with a friend I spent the worst night in bed with crazy stomach pain and indigestion. This restaurant truly needs to work on cooking their ingredients properly and pay closer attention to their hygiene. Considering the reputation this place has, I expected more. As I am writing this interview and considering a visit to the GP soon now, I recommend those who are prone to food poisoning easily, avoid going here.

The service was crap, food was below average, and atmosphere wasn't great. Price wise isn't that cheap and they charge for every thing.
