This restaurant is still going strong and myself, friends and family continue coming back year after year. Very much your traditional setting. Staff attentive & food is lovely, they don't rush you out the door, they aren't interested in flipping tables - so a great place to go, where you can eat but enjoy a decent conversation with your dinner cohorts. It was busy when we arrived at 8 pm (but had booked a table) but it thinned out at 10:30 pm, ready for the after pub wave of diners.

A proper balti house! Great quality and selection of food. Staff friendly and it's everything you'd want with none of the unnecessary nonsense.
