Exquisite food and excellent service. The wine list is an extensive selection if white, rose, red and sparkling, ranging from £38-£999. All the food was explained which would probably beneficial to someone not well versed in Indian and Indian fusion food. They also gave me some recommendations when I was stuck between two wines. The notes for the wine are not listed so if you are unsure it’s best to ask them. My favourite dish was definitely the salmon which was both delicate and flavourful. They also bought a dessert out for the birthday we were celebrating. The only thing downside (and it was one my parents had rather than me) was it felt a bit busy/cramped with the amount of tables. However it was peak lunchtime so I believe this to be unavoidable. This isn’t a cheap meal out but the price is actually worth it unlike some other Michelin star restaurants.

The food was delicious and the lunch set menu was well thought out and good value. Would recommend ordering sides which are an extra cost as the main meal is not really complete otherwise.

The service could be improved. After waiting a very long time for our mains to arrive, I enquired as to their arrival. There was no previous apology or acknowledgement that it was taking a long time (over 45 minutes). The server commented that they were on their way and went to the kitchen. We were offered a drink on the house and an apology, which seemed very reactive. Finally, after more waiting, our mains arrived. We were kindly offered a side and naan bread once we finished our meal, which was a bit odd but appreciated as it was delicious.

I appreciate things can happen in the kitchen but the restaurant was not busy and so it was a bit disappointing that it wasn’t better managed. I felt as if they forgot about us and wonder what would have happened if I didn’t mention it.

Would highly recommend for the food and hope they take this as a learning experience to providing service to match their food.
