    Can I leave a minus 5 review? I am here right now (I wish I was in the Jungle with Ant and Dec! The food would have been 5 star!) Upon arrival, 5 of us were seated on a table suitable for less. I expressed this to Manisha (apparently a mamager) and she told me that it is all they have for us. Arrogant and down right lacking in customer service. We are told that all other tables are booked. I told Manisha that I will mention this in my review. Within a minute of being seated we are hounded for a drinks order. Manisha is back! We are moved to another table. Miraculous how a table is now free? Again there seems to be a rush. Is the restaurant closing 30 minutes after opening for someones funeral? We are asked twice if qe want to order starters. So, starter's ordered and encouraged to order mains at the same time. I refuse and just go with starters and what an omen! The Orea milkshakes we ordered 25 minutes ago arrives one after the other with a 15 minite gap and reminder from me. Thus one guest had to wait quiet some time. Starters arrive fairly quickly and now we know why.... This is NOT Indian food. There are better meals availble at Morrisons. Prawns are served in a cup and bland. The chops are lacking in any authentic Indian flavour. The Honey chicken is doused in a jar-like sauce and lacking Indian flavour. Masala chips are made for non-indians. Chips where a mush of lord knows what. The food is pathetic! It stands to reason as the restaurant is fully booked... Not many Indians here. Guess why? Do not eat here. Thet gave me bill for £95 and did not even bother to address my concerns. Check your bill as they over charged me and this was rectified. By the way...Dryer in ladies does not work. Flush half broken. As you can see, this is NOT an authentic experience. It's cheap tatty food with dire service. Rant over. Off to Mcdonalds after a hefty £95 bill for starters we did not eat!

    It quite not original, a lot of Indian taste has been compromised to please local clientele. I wouldn’t go there again as we look for something more Original

    It's not worth it It's not indian style curries. It's Bangladeshi Prawns you can say they bought from Iceland or asda or any other supermarket and fried and served, No varieties Second time trying to get fish, but there's is a vegetable pakora and fried fish with lots of oil from the corners There were no lamb items in the starter, we requested then, and they served, including price Lamb chops are not cooked properly In the toilet, there was a leakage and no sign

    Upmarket and nicely setup Indian restaurant, serving dishes from all over India. I recommend the chef’s signature dishes; just know that the chilly sizzler dish is properly spicy. Friendly service.

    Food was really lovely-can’t fault that. Service-not so much. Staff were polite but more than one person waiting your table is a little over baring. Shown to a table then told to move as we were 2 and explained it was for 4..we were well aware but were told to sit there! Tried to push bigger/more expensive drinks saying they didn’t hear the 1st time. Offered a free shot. I wasn’t what was chosen. Still eating our meal and 3 times someone came over to say are you finished - the restaurant wasn’t busy at this point. Also not too happy there is a compulsory 12% tip. A tip and how big it is is a choice. Especially when just a table of 2 and if you are going to make it compulsory, you want to make sure your service is top-notch! We won’t be back for this reason unfortunately.

    My family and I went to celebrate a birthday and were terribly let down. To begin with, we had to wait standing in the middle of the restaurant beyond our booked time, because the place was overbooked. We went specifically for the buffet but all of the dishes were highly UNDERWHELMING. For example, the so called chicken 65 was made out of packaged chicken nuggets!!!! During the main course, the plates provided, were disgustingly greasy and we had to call for clean plates. We were extremely put off by this point of our meal… The only good thing was that the staff was proactive. In saying that £20 pp for the buffet is a steal, is more like you get what you pay for… won’t be returning.

    I'm Indian, and let me be blunt: this restaurant was a complete disaster. The food was so bland, it was like eating cardboard. I couldn't stomach the mains after those awful starters. And the 'Chicken 65'? What a joke - it was just chicken nuggets with some veggies thrown in. To make matters worse, when we asked for cocktails, they had the nerve to serve us mocktails. I wish I had just gone to the McDonald's across the street instead. Anyone who thinks this place is good clearly has no clue what real Indian food tastes like. It was an utter waste of time and money.

    It was such a beautiful place, really romantic and a very family orientated place. The owner was so attentive and very good with customer service. Manisha was absolutely delightful, very polite and also very attentive. Customer service is definitely key and they smashed it out of the park. The food was absolutely delicious, we ordered a mixed starter and wow the wings were absolutely succulent and just full of flavour. Their masala chips were so moreish and mouth watering. We then got the lamb sizzler, boy oh boy that was absolutely delicious, full of flavour, lamb was tender and just Mmmmm! The garlic naan were so soft and just delicious. We ordered a pina coloda and. Strawberry mojito, they were probably the best we've had so far!!! Definitely coming back!

    If you want a curry this is the place to go. Really nice dishes from the masala to madras. Very reasonable with pricing and staff are very friendly! Came here for my sisters birthday the other day and it was a great time! Lamb chops are very succulent and tender, biriyani is bursting with flavour and the Naan is very filling! They also made my sister a really lovely cake! These guys all get 5 stars!

    Beautiful very accommodating, the owner is very welcoming and talkative. The food was amazing reminded me of my mother’s cooking. Traditional style food perfect selection of dishes, would highly recommend and will be defo coming back.

  • 4/5 Tasnim M. 2 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    They offered a complementary starter which was a nice touch! I haven't really gone to an Indian buffet before but the atmosphere, vibe and people were lovely. I've removed a star purely because not all of the dishes felt fresh as you would if you ordered and I can understand that trying to keep it fresh can be difficult. Nevertheless, most of it was good as me and my friend went up to get seconds and would defo recommend it to others.

    We had a lovely dinner at Sizzler! We were sat at our table promptly and opted for the buffet! Amazing choice and fresh, tasty food! What made our night were the staff! Friendly, efficient and made us feel very welcome! Excellent value for money and worth every penny! We will be back 😋

    Probably the best buffet restaurant that I’ve been to, the food tasted so much better than other buffet restaurants which usually lack quality and taste. The atmosphere and aesthetics of the restaurant are both attractive and pleasing, and the service was top. It was definitely worth the trip from east London and I’ll definitely be returning.

  • 4/5 Sophie 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Loved the buffet, food really good with plenty of choice. Drinks very expensive though, £4+ for a medium size soft drink seems excessive. Atmosphere would be 5* but found the waiters standing over us a bit off putting at times.

  • 5/5 Gaurav G. 4 months ago on Google
    Good Food, Good Mood Starters and Sizzlers were Yummy. Deserts were nice too , however it got over soon...

  • 5/5 Akash P. 5 months ago on Google
    What a night at this place. Staffs are friendly and food was prepared within 15 minutes of ordering. Ambience is great and they’ve all types of alcohol you could ask for. Do check it out. Good news for me is that I can order online whenever Im lazy.

  • 5/5 Gabriella P. 4 months ago on Google
    We visited here whilst staying over night and we were not disappointed. We didn't know what to expect, but the food was delicious, the staff incredibly friendly, especially Manisha and reasonably priced considering how close to London we are. If we stay again, we'd certainly return. 🙂🙂

  • 5/5 D H. 1 year ago on Google
    My partner and I had a wonderful meal with fantastic service. We were seated promptly in a lovely seat by the window. Highlights were the samosa chaat and the chilli paneer for starters. The service (especially from Sony) was excellent - very friendly and attentive. I live really locally so it is great to know that I can return at any time and try something different.

  • 5/5 Maz I. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing food, one of the best Curries we have had, great customer service, great decor, all the food was flavoursome and meat was tender. Loved the prawns and masala chips as starters as well, prices are reasonable too.

  • 5/5 Sandra A. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a very warm welcome. Very clean restaurant with nice deco. Staff very friendly but at the same time maintained professionalism. Special mention to waiter AK? He was very professional and had a great knowledge of Indian cuisine. Food was cooked beautifully and very fresh . Decent portion size with plenty of flavour. I shall return again when visiting the area.

  • 2/5 Shay Z (. 4 months ago on Google
    It wasn’t the best, not a lot of options, no rice options apart from coloured rice and meat rice which was a shame, the food was overly spicy, the naan was very hard, the mixed grill was making everyone cough - it sounded like a covid outbreak in the restaurant when they were being served. Coke for £4.25 and it was flat 💀!! 6 ice cream options, all finished apart from the vanilla with no restock. You only get one tiny slice of cake, fit for a child not an adult.. not worth the tiktok hype 👎🏼 Staff on the other hand were very welcoming, very lovely and very accommodating ❤️

    Went as a group of 8, my sister in law tried to book over the phone but the man she spoke to was quite rude and said not to come as they were fully booked but I ended up booking online and they were able to accommodate us. Really nice food, good variety and good value for money. The female server with the long dark hair was funny and very nice. Desserts were yummy and they played Bollywood movie songs in the restaurant which made the dessert taste even better. Overall really nice place I would recommend

    We came in on a Sunday evening without a reservation, but were seated promptly as it was only a table for Two. The buffet was disappointing, with only a couple of the starters being up to standard. Not the place to visit if you like spice/well seasoned food. Dessert options were very limited and did not taste great, even for a buffet. The service was okay - our used plates were cleared regularly, and wait staff were attentive to additional requests. Social media/influencers unfortunately make the food look a lot better than it actually is.

    We have always loved Indian sizzler but lately their curry seem to have a lot of oil and the taste just isn't the same. It tastes different everytime we order.

  • 5/5 Timothy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic service with quality food. This great local eatery boasts a wonderful modern feel with its interiors, with welcoming staff. We were served by Sony who was attentive and very friendly. She made sure all our needs were met and was always nearby to offer additional drinks. Our meals, which were all beautifully presented came promptly and were all 'sizzling' hot! The meal had the correct balance of delicate flavours with rich spices which is rare from my experience. With easy parking nearby this is a great option for groups. Definitely worth a try! Will be back again.

    I had a great experience here. Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and some Beautiful dishes, My favourite was Zafrani. I will Come again!

  • 5/5 courtèney m. 1 year ago on Google
    We stayed in London over the weekend, this Indian was very close to our hotel and I can honestly say it has to be one of the best Indians I've ever been too. I love curries and my favourite food is an Indian, the staff was so friendly, helpful and the service was great from start to finish. The menu wasn't overloaded like some places but they certainly delivered on their specialty dishes. The place inside is gorgeous and classy, very clean. If this was much closer to home I would be visiting very often!

  • 5/5 Matt 2. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely atmosphere caring staff and manger. Food is unbelievable. And staff are always willing to change things if there is something on a dish you don't like for example my mum is not a fan of her onion bhajis. And the toke it off and added an extra chicken wings instead.

    I dined at this restaurant in Watford, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere and the ambiance was perfect for a nice evening out. The menu offered a variety of options, from classic comfort food. The service was top-notch, with our server being attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Our food arrived in a timely manner. Must try Lamb chops and palak Lamb🤤🤤. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional, and I can't wait to come back and try more dishes.
