We were AMAZED by this place!…read more It was probably made even better by the most recent one we had being poor too, and also, thumbs up for 5* hygiene rating (yes, I'm one of those people who checks). Eleven of us ordered food, including enormous tubs of rice, giant and entirely amazing onion bhajis (definitely get some of these- big scotch egg sized tasty globes). Everyone had something different, and there was a bit of sharing too, everyone was happy. The hotter ones have a reasonable kick, and a surprisingly good one was the shampan- picked out of morbid curiosity, with mozzarella cheese on top, and not swimming with fat. We were all very full, and the Naans still tasted nice the next morning!

Pathetic service and unprofessional staff. Food was just okay, definitely not worth the price. They…read moreadded extra sides without asking to inflate the bill--seems like a scam targeting tourists. Staff doesn't even know how to communicate properly with customers. Not recommended.

No tamarind chutney...well because no one in the UK makes it...the server said. Ordered the Bombay special with chicken, (that was pretty good) we also ordered the butter chicken, the sauce was not properly cooked or tasty - do not order!!! The naan (coriander and chili) was undercooked and doughy. Sadly, the overall dinner was disappointing and expensive....but I gave it 2 first because my husband (British) said this is what the British are used to. (They've not been to India) Americans would give it a one, maybe less. ..Changed to a one later, because that's my honest opinion.

Slow, uninterested and unfriendly. Especially, as we really love Indian food this place was so disappointing - and not even cheap!

This set up as a perfect environment to have a drink and converse...went on to have dinner with great apps and even better main courses. Add to that some drinks and you've got the best Indian food around. Would highly recommend if you are in the area!

The food is top quality and always consistent and therefore we have never had a bad meal. I have only been here during he day and it is always very quiet as we are often their only guests thou this does not surprise me as I cant see much call for an Indian restaurant in Penrith during the day anyway.

Not many of takeaways do that I can tell you!!We order every Friday night from our local and have never received anything free!!The walls in the place are covered in pictures of the owner/chef with celebrities who have eaten in his restaurant and one of them has even signed saying it was the best Indian in England.
