"Used this place for takeaway food and beers during Bonfest. We only had various pakoras but the food was very good. The owners and other staff were very friendly and accommodating. We’ll be back for Bonfest next year and would come here again."

"Absolutely phenomenal place. Went here while visiting kerrimure. Very generous portions. Excellent price and really really delicious food. Service was prompt and friendly. Only lost one star for atmosphere due to the place being empty at the time but that's not their fault and it was a very cold night."

"Cracking little find…..I see reviews knocking the atmosphere, I don’t know about you but I don’t go to a curry house to mingle, I go to eat nice food, which this place does brilliantly. I can only imagine it’s quiet due to location. I’ve ate curry all over the place and this ranks among the best, portion size is brill, quality excellent and service top notch. Keep up the good work guys, we’ll be back when we next visit kirri"
