First time in and it was a solid meal. The onion bhajis were the real highlight &ndash; perfectly crispy, not greasy at all. Honestly the best I&rsquo;ve had. It does fill up quickly though, so definitely book ahead.

Kasia was a lovely server, really made our late lunch relaxing. The porcini pasta was the highlight.

Our server, Mrs A. Patel was OUTSTANDING! She is the reason for this review. I think her first name was Alka or Alpa. Her last name was Patel. She was so attentive and thoughtful and really took care of our table of 4. If I come back, it&#39;s because of her! Food was good, we had a lovely table and the Jasmine tea is excellent.

Been coming here for ages, always a solid meal. The staff are just so warm and attentive, really makes a difference.

The staff were amazing as one of our guest cars broke down and we had to delay the order and wait 90 minutes for our guest to arrive.  The chef and all the staff were amazing and delivered super food considering it was 9pm for a 7.30 pm table booking.  One young lad, couldn&rsquo;t remember his name, blonde hair and very kind and helpful with a cheerful voice.  Thank you to you all for being so patient with our late guest.

Millie was lovely, offered a free drink while we waited for the oven. Food was good, but the lasagna grande portion felt a bit small for the price.

Great dining experience with a generous menu offering fresh and flavorful dishes. The service was quick and efficient.

Been coming here for years. Megan always remembers my order and gets it right, even when they&rsquo;re busy.

The loaded fries here are the real deal. Huge portion, crispy fries underneath all that cheese and bacon. It&#39;s the kind of thing that just shuts your hunger right up. Mzo was quick with it, too.

Really appreciate the gluten-free options here, and the prices are fair. Went on a Sunday and it was pleasantly quiet, good for a chat. Service was a little slow, but I think they were just short-staffed.

Booked last minute for 23 of us. Staff were so patient, handled it all smoothly. Food arrived quick and still piping hot, which is a win for a big table. The space itself felt really open and airy, nice not to be crammed in.

The old building has so much character. Felt warm and cosy the moment we stepped in. Just the right kind of place for a quiet dinner.

The papaya salad here is the real deal. It&#39;s got that perfect balance of spicy, sour, and sweet, just like the ones I had from street stalls in Bangkok. Really takes me back. The rest of the menu is solid, but that salad is the star for me.

The service at this restaurant is exceptional. Our server, Lily, was attentive and made sure everything was perfect, which truly elevated our meal.

The restaurant was Christmassy and the waitress went out of her way to be helpful particularly as I have a food allergy.  The ambience was lovely and the food really nice.  All in all a lovely lunch!

Was here for a private do. The chicken tikka masala was spot on, really flavourful. Staff were chill and kept things moving. For what we got, the bill seemed fair. Good spot.

The new owners have put so much love into it. The homemade sauces are the real star here, especially with the smoky meats.

The food was delicious, especially the pork belly and chorizo skewer. Edyta ensured everything was perfect and made us feel at home.

Loved the back room. All glass, loads of light. Felt like sitting outside but warm. Just a really nice spot for a lazy lunch.

Been coming here for years. They never rush you, even if you turn up near closing. Last time, the server was just as attentive as always. That consistency is why I keep coming back.

A relaxing spot with comfy armchairs. The vibe is spot on. I enjoyed a well-made cappuccino with my pastry, though the coffee was a touch on the strong side for my taste. Staff were quick and friendly.

The food was really good, but the personal touches from the staff are what stood out for me.

Stumbled in after a long work day. The staff really listened to what I was after and got it spot on. Felt like a proper family-run Italian spot. That&rsquo;s rare these days.

Sunday roast was spot on, especially the beef. The apple pie and custard was a nice touch to end with.

The Sunday buffet is a solid deal, and their house red pairs surprisingly well with the richer curries. Decent value.

First takeaway from here, really good. The samosas were packed with meat, and the onion bhaji had that ideal crispy crunch. Portions are definitely generous, no skimping. Will be ordering again.
