    Gotta love a family run business, complete with dedication, hard work & an atmosphere that's sadly, hard to find these days. I'm aware that the chef has won awards, but add to that a fabulous heartfelt service & genuine desire to give customers the best dining experience & you're onto a winner. We arrived a minute before closing, with a car full of family that were visiting from the Far East We'd not called ahead or made reservations and it was clear that the restaurant was in the process of closing. Despite the inconvenience we caused,we were welcomed,seated & left alone to catch up with the years we'd missed. At no point were we rushed (although I did hear the owner apologising to his wife on the phone & explaining that he'd be a little late home!) The dishes were superb. The Bengali chef deserves every award he's acquired. Without question the best Indian meal in the City. Gratitude to all the staff that we delayed!

    The interior and seats needs a makeover but the food is worth it Overall portions to price ratio is a tad on the expensive side for what you get but you will enjoy the hospitality from the manager Is a under rated venue hidden in plain site

    Always fun filled entertainment with the owner, my partner has a soft spot for the humour. Food is fantastic. Guess what, were back. Had a takeaway this evening. The only let down with this place is the nan bread. Tough as old leather, my partner quoted

    Great Indian food. Good price for takeaway in these inflationary times. Only criticism is that they don't serve alcohol, so if eating in, you are limited to drink? Otherwise they are good on the food aspect.

  • 5/5 emran u. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a gem, a time travel back to the 80s...full of nostalgia . If you want a memorable night out, you will get it in abundance. Iqbal the host here is with the most, transporting you to a sitcom set, delivering great entertainment to all his customers. You will not forget or be disappointed. When the food arrived, it was an explosion of great flavours from the first mouthful to the last. The dishes were authentic, traditional and nostalgic. The quality was rich and full of flavour. There was no style over substance. It was class act of cooking. The cheese garlic naan was done with finesse. This restaurant will be my go to in Coventry. There is more on the menu I want to try. I will return again and more often.

  • 2/5 Dawn W. 8 months ago on Google
    We had been staying in Coventry for a weekend car show at the nec..the restaurant at the hotel was appaling so we spent ages on google looking for a good indian...this place has the highest marks so we decided to go with it...unfortunately the curry had no taste...5 pieces of chicken...cold french fries ( i would of gone to mcdonalds for them) onion barghi we flat and no taste. Mint sauce was ok...and the best part was the naan bread...although they were very helpful on the phone and delivery driver was lovely i cab say the curry was very disappointing

  • 3/5 Andrew J. 6 months ago on Google
    Havnt been here in quite a few years. It looks tired and could do with a revamp. The food was very dissapointing and not very good. Looked like it had been sat and reheated tbh. Not much flavour. On the upside the staff were welcoming polite and friendly. Wont be back in a hurry such a shame used to be a great place.

  • 5/5 Matt t. 5 months ago on Google
    The food is probably the best I've ever had. The takeaway food is amazing!! The quality and taste of the dishes are excellent. The meat is always high quality cooked to perfection and to the perfect flavour. The staff are lovely welcoming and friendly. The food is always done on time when collecting. 10/10 best one you will find to the point where we drive past several nearer restaurants to go to this one. 👍👍👍👍 We usually spend about £20 each once you try it you will want to order half the menu it's that good!! 😍

  • 5/5 Rachel C. 2 years ago on Google
    Outstanding service. The tastiest food. Awesome atmosphere. Can't wait to come back.

  • 3/5 richard a. 9 months ago on Google
    No alcohol. The ambience is almost non existent and the seating uncomfortable. The service was very warm and friendly but inefficient. Drinks order was bungled and our bhindi bhaji side was missing completely and rushed to the table 5 min later. It was not very good bhindi. The tandoori chicken was nice and only very slightly over done. The lamb biryani really good. Tender lamb and a nice flavoursome mild vegetable curry accomplishment. Naan breads also quite good I wouldn't rush back

    Had a takeaway from here tonight for the first time, lovely food large portions and good value for your money. The staff were friendly and helpful. Nice welcome soon as I entered the restaurant. Just wished they served alcohol so I would eat in with friends. I will be ordering again from here for a takeaway. Thanks 👍

  • 5/5 Peter C. 2 years ago on Google
    Easily one of the best Indian restaurants in the Coventry area and even after lockdown the quality of the food and the service from the staff was just as fantastic, now we can eat out together again I'm sure me and my buddies will do so many more times.

  • 5/5 Daniel P. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly, warm staff, excellent, beautifully cooked fresh food. Couldn't fault this restaurant. I'd highly recommend this place.

  • 3/5 Matt 1 year ago on Google
    Can't believe how over 200 people have rated this place at 4.7 out of 5. It's average. The madras is watery and lacking authentic ingredients, it was the mildest madras i have ever eaten. Little amount of chicken. The naans are average and dry. We spent over £40 on food and they didn't even throw in any free chutneys with the poppadoms like all other curry houses do. Very stingy/expensive and cutting back on ingredients to make more money. It's not proper indian cooking. Don't get sucked in by the reviews you will be disappointed!

  • 4/5 Nova C. 1 year ago on Google
    Used takeaway service. Food was OK, not best we've had but enjoyed. Service in the restaurant was friendly and efficient. Several people using the venue seemed to be enjoying.

  • 5/5 Shim D. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited for first time . It was really nice food. Was welcomed as we walked in . Staff where very friendly and polite . I would say it has the old school vibe we all remember as kids when we went out for a curry. 5*
