"Flavours are perfect! Fresh and just one of the best curries I have had in a while. And worth it . Great service , friendly ! And clean !
Butter chicken, chicken korma and the lentils you can tell it's all fresh and spices balanced so well! Highly recommend."

"a delightful restaurant serving authenticly delicious food with fabulous twists, served by attentive staff who clearly love what they do and know all so well all of the dishes they serve!
We can highly recommend the venison sheek kebabs, trio of chicken, prawns with crab, onion bhajis, sag paneer (so incredibly delicious) and their delicious garlic nan bread!
So many lovely touches and no corners cut with the generous portions, beautiful presentation & quality of chocolates with the bill!"

"Simply brilliant. No idea curry this good was so local. Been in the area for 10 years and found this when spending the night with family at Chessington World of Adventures. Popped down for a quick curry with the family and it was amazing. Highly recommended.
For starters we had pops (so tasty) , onion bhaji (so fluffy), vegetable samosa (so crispy), and calamari (so tasty). We all had house special mains including boar vindaloo. All so so tasty. Service was amazing.
If I had any minor gripes it would be that the food portions are a little small (but we still left feeling stuffed and quality is amazing) and was also a little more pricey than any local curry (£14 for a main curry compared to £6-9 at all other locals). But these are minor, so much so, I'll be back every other week.
Highly recommended."

Best Indian Restaurants in Surrey - Reviews & Restaurant Guide
There’s “always a cheery welcome and super-courteous service at this distinctive and cut-above restaurant” from ex-Oberoi/Cinnamon Club chef-patron Awanish Roy – the first in a now two-strong chain, with a younger spin-off in Reigate. Its “sophisticated and delicate culinary style” is “superior to any other Indian restaurants in the area”, showcased in everything from the “tiny” and “delicious” poppadoms to “tender and flavoursome” chef’s specials, which feature on a menu spanning street food, British favourites and far more exotic fare (grilled guinea fowl, say, or wild boar vindaloo).
