30/08/2025: I have been coming to this restaurant for years, mostly for takeaway. Although I have not had takeaway for a about 3 months. I was very disappointed mostly with the cost of the takeaway as it does not represent fair value for what you get. It’s quite simply overpriced. The food quality has always been very good. Tonight the food was all good except the Dal Tarka-Side which we always get it was all sauce and very few lentils and lacked flavour €8.99 for this small side. Our children normally get a chicken tikka masala to share, in the past I’ve found the quantity of chicken very small so I ordered a starter of chicken pakora so they’d have more chicken rather than a second tikka masala which would be too much. The chicken pakora was 3 pieces of chicken for €8.99. (See photo) The chicken tikka masala shared by the kids is actually €15.99 so add the extra chicken starter at €8.99 this is just to make it enough of a meal for two kids. No main dish comes with Pulao rice and rice is charged at €3.70. We essentially shared two mains between 2 adults and 2 children but got two additional sides and the total for take away is €63.36. Trust me for the portion sizes in terms of the meat or paneer it is way overpriced. The portion size of the chicken starter is way overpriced. The lentil side dish was severely lacking lentils, bland and was overpriced. This dish was never like this in the past. Having used this restaurant for a long time, this will be my last. I will happily travel much further to receive better value and consistency. I’ve given it three stars on this review as generally the food is good but value for money it is certainly not.
