Customer approval

Here are just a few reviews posted on Tripadvisor:

“Fantastic food! It was very fresh and flavourful. We could tell it was just made for us. Yum! Best place in Sunderland for Indian food. Highly recommended.”

Always come here for take away. Non veg thali is what we order enough for two people always delicious & hot to serve. Recommended.

One of my favourite Indian takeaways, came here for years now and it never fails. Staff are very friendly and delivery is always on time.

Have been going here as long as I remember for “treat” night. It’s always beautiful, great service and they always remember faces giving that personal customer service. Friendly and polite staff.
