We originally ordered food for take away but when we walked in the staff were so welcoming that we decided to stay and eat in. The food was immaculate, the service was great. The lady serving us was very kind and helpful. The price we payed was around £20, there were 3 of us and we shared 3 dishes. (very cheap, but food is worth more). I would definitely recommend everyone to eat here and i will be telling my friends and family. 100% coming back again!!

Always have take away from here, every week but in the last month or so they’ve changed the recipes or the cook. Nothing tastes quite the same as before, bland mostly, it’s a pity.

We turned up on a Saturday night without booking on the off chance they had a table for two, prepared that we were probably having take away. Luckily there was a table free and they explained that a booking was arriving in just over 90 mins, which was fine for us. It was a busy night, but we were well looked after and got our food in good time. The food was delicious and just the right portion size for us. I’d definitely recommend, although probably best to book, it gets busy and we just got lucky.

Just had an excellent meal from their 'all you can eat' type menu (only available on certain days). The food was delicious and portions were just right. Will definitely go again Update: Not sure they still do the all you can eat option anymore . Food is still excellent though,
