    I've been there twice now and would recommend it, Last night I had the Fish and Chips the Chips were these frozen ones slightly larger and more crisp than McDonalds, but at the price it is; P180 you cannot expect real Potatoes? it comes with a good coleslaw.
    I did have one problem with the place which I did not have on my first visit there, they were playing crazy disco type music and at a volume that was verging on uncomfortable, I did mention it to the Lady in the kitchen, perhaps she is the joint owner? I think it has been said here they are closed on Mondays but it is only closed in the morning of that day.
    Both times I was there, they only had two other customers, this I do not understand as it is good and has very quick service?

    Agree, service is excellent, as is food. Nice little spot, tad noisy on a Sat night. Prices moderate to high how ever if not very hungry the Marsala could be shared. (with rice which is separate)

    Tried to go this lunchtime (Tuesday), but closed, even though the opening times notice suggested it should be open. Anyone know any updates?

    Bruce is correct that you can quite easily share the curries between two people with two portions of rice and perhaps 2 of Nan bread. portions on other dishes are good also but not quite for two people.
    The Music is no longer Disco type and more in keeping with a restaurant style only it is still on the loud side to be background.

    As far as I know the place is only closed on a Monday till 4/5pm but open in the evening.

    I was there at 12.15pm on Saturday walked up the stairs and into the seating area only to be told that it was closed and all seemed normal as if they are ready for business, we had to wait as there was another couple coming to meet us there soon after, the waiter did think to phone the Chef to tell her there was customers and she eventually arrived shortly before 1pm, just maybe she is a bit blasé about her business? that is twice in the matter of a few days. I'm kind of assuming the Chef is the owner and can take time off whenever she wants, we all know what will happen if she does that too often.

    Well it has happened again, myself and a friend was there last night Thursday just after 7pm and they were closed, something is just not right with the owners they must have a problem? twice they have been closed and one time late to open for lunch all in less than a one week.
