Food was delicious and beautifully presented with the Samosas and Dosa the standout dishes. Excellent friendly service - we ordered an extra dish which came promptly. Our visit was early on a Wednesday evening in January which probably explains the lack of atmosphere in the restaurant

Initially started off to bad start even though booked a table being told we are very busy so you need to take the corner table, but the food and the service was very good. I found it to be quite expensive for the type of restaurant it is overall had a good experience could have been better.
