I was brought here for the first time with a group who were familiar with it. The food was great,…read moreno complaints at all, and ambiance was pleasant. My medium rating is due to the staff. While They were polite enough, they seemed pushy. We ordered a round of beers, one each, and still water, which was a bottle that would be paid for. We had papadums, and felt rushed to eat them so they could bring out the next course. We all got starters, and then the mains. While eating, they brought a second round of drinks, that was not ordered. We all still had a half pint or more in front of us. We stopped them and said we didn't ask for more beer. We finished the first bottle of water and they had brought a second that we had not opened. A waiter at one point came up and went to open it for us, luckily we stopped him before he did, as we didn't want it. They rushed to clear our plates, and while we were finishing our drinks and catching up (some of us hadn't seen each other in 10+ years), they came to the table frequently, and we felt very hovered around. The restaurant was not busy, there were at least 10 tables available, so we know they didn't need to turn the table over. They also added a 10% surcharge to a 4 top, which I found unwarranted.

This is hands-down the best Indian food I've ever had, and, trust me, I've had a LOT…read more I'm amazed to write that this place is in - Winchester? Winchester?????

Don't bother ordering a take away from these jokers. I used to use them a lot, but they simply…read morecan't cope with the orders these days. Last week I ordered 2 curries to collect and was told it would be 30 minutes - I turned up 30 minutes later and the order hand even been started. When I got home they had messed the order up. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and put it a delivery order a week later and was told it would be an hour; not a problem... 2 hours later (with no phone call telling me there would be a delay, etc.) I call up to find out where my food is and the moron at the restaurant tells me it is just being cooked now!? No apology, nothing. Absoloute amateurs. Not sure if it is under new management, but either way - avoid like the plague.

They will amend dishes to make them spicier, milder or just different. If it is not listed on the menu, just ask and they will rustle it up. They do a buffet on Sunday and provide takeaways for collection. Handy for the pub across the road (Litten Tree) and the Swan Centre. Definitely my go to Indian Restaurant after a hard day.

Delivered the wrong dishes and I was then told by an aggressive and rude employee that they would make the dishes I was missing and deliver in 15 minutes (from past experience I know that means 30 minutes at best). They didn't seem to mind that that would mean the rest of the food would be cold. The employee refused to let me speak to a manager and told me I would have to wait for my food and I could complain as much as I liked. Do yourself a favour and give them a very wide berth.

The food isn't bad but the service is hit and miss. I was once kept waiting for an hour for a…read moretakeaway (along with several others) with little apology or compensation for the wait. The restaurant service has been great when the owner is there, but when he's not the service again is terrible with a very long wait despite hardly any customers.
