Good: The food was brilliant. My curry was excellent: way above the standard of usual Indian restaurant food. Many people were having the thali. They've nailed the menu here. It is really, really good.
The place is clean.
Bad: It's a little bit of a con. Portion size was too small for the prices they charge. You are sat too close to other people. There are too few people serving. At the end of the meal, you get Imperial mints with the bill, which are the dregs of after dinner mints: you had might as well give out Polos. I ate my Imperial mint, though, because I was still hungry.
Too many small, money-saving pinches, which means I wouldn't go back. I reckon this place used to be good, but they've started to economise on things. Double-dip recession = child's portions, no staff and Imperial mints.
The website doesn't give an address for the restaurant.
