"Comprehensive menu. Poppadoms were accompanied by 3 tasty dips, the salsa one being very spicy. Onion bhajis were good accompanied with another spicy sauce. The mains were delicious full of flavourful tender meat. Staff were friendly. Highly recommended."

"We enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea. My wife is gluten intolerant and yet her afternoon tea nearly looked identical to mine. The service was excellent especially from Camelia who couldn't do enough for us. So glad the standards are still as high."

"My daughter visited for lunch on Friday She had a panini which came with a nice salad and she said it was lovely. I had the special which was a rocket, goats cheese and beetroot salad.
