This is possibly one of the best Indian restaurants i have been to. Service was great, meals put quick, reasonable prices. Try the 'Tandoori Platter' but share as it's huge. Best of all the Butter Chicken was like a flavour explosion in my mouth accompanied by the yummiest coconut rice EVER! Thank you so much!
