“ Lovely restaurant, always spot on. Really busy night tonight, full restaurant. But service great as usual. ”
“ The food is amazing. I went a month ago and I still think about it often! The pakora and chicken tikka masala here were the best I've ever had. The staff were also lovely. Updated review: Went back several years later and it lives up to how I remember it and we keep talking about it. It was incredible and very reasonably priced. We had 3 mains, 3 naans, 4 starters, a side of rice to share and 3 drinks - for under 60. ”
“ Amazing food and atmosphere. Staff very polite and very reasonable priced menu. ”
“ Lovely food. Manager needs to smile more ”
“ We stayed in New Briggin for 7 nights and ate here twice. The food is plentiful and cost just right. Parking is plentiful on the quiet roads around. Thursday night is a set menu night if you wish to use it. Portions aren't smaller. If we lived nearer we would regularly visit. ALL the staff are extremely friendly and professional. ”
“ We turned up late but service and options were fully met. No pressure to rush. Menu is extensive and lots of different veggie options. 15 3 course special was on but we chose different and the price was amazing so cheap for good quality food. The raita was the best we'd ever tasted and the lime pickle was lovely. The staff couldn't be faulted you can see why it was busy. Worth a visit definitely ”
“ Absolutely outstanding. We are staying in a caravan 2 mins away. Went in to the restaurant and ordered a takeaway for 4 adults last night. Big order - starters, mains, nan and pops. Still on 77. Would have been a lot more at home. Standouts were chicken chatt, mixed veg bhaji, veg samosas, chicken tikka sag balti. The service was quick and very friendly. I would highly recommend. There were people in the restaurant and it looked like a nice place to eat. We have a dog. Hence the takeaway. Thank you. ”
