There's a warmth here that catches you off guard — the team clearly love talking about the food, and they'll steer you toward the cheaper dish if it suits you better, which is rare and very welcome when you're feeding a family. Portions are genuinely generous, so two children can happily share. The tandoori chicken comes out tender and properly marinated, the madras prawn has a real kick, and the bread basket — naan, roti, puri — keeps small hands busy while the mains arrive. High chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options, buggy access and free parking all make the logistics easy. It's ££ rather than cheap-and-cheerful, though several families found they paid less than expected. Front-of-house can be hit and miss on busy nights, but most leave saying they felt instantly at home.
