Despite what others say, the service is mediocre, not attentive, sluggish, aloof, and uncaring. It is as if the staff are Zombies who have been forced to work there. But.......... Holy God, the food is good, and that makes up for any other shortcomings. Will I return? Of course I will. I live in London but anytime I drive up/down the M40 I will make a detour and visit this place. Highly recommended, as long as you don't take any notice of the Zombies.

Amazing service and food. We had paneer kadai, chicken lababdaar, garlic naan and tandoori roti and of course mango lassi is an all time favourite. Food is authentic and I have not had better naan anywhere in UK. Harindar was superb in serving us and also got a special lassi glass for our daughter.
