Having grown up in the UK, the menu caters for every taste including my own penchant for what I would term "British Indian". All the old favourites are in there plus so much more.

the Sultan Goat Curry was particularly memorable with its succulent goat meat and intense sauce.
Matthew Shanahan (Matt) Butter Chicken
The butter chicken was rich and creamy, with a depth of flavour that clearly came from slow cooking
Diwa Venkata Goan Fish Curry
The highlight for me, however, was the Goan fish curry; fragrant, tangy, and perfectly balanced with coconut undertones.

Husband ordered the lamb phaal and while it is hot and spicy, it is not painful - you can taste the texture and the different spices used.
