Most Disliked
Some visitors mention that it can be challenging to find parking nearby, especially on busy weekends. Public transportation or walking may be a better option during peak times.
A few customers have expressed a desire for more vegetarian options, pointing out that although there are selections, they feel there could be even more variety to cater to diverse dietary preferences.
While the cash machine fees in town can be annoying, ensuring to bring cash can save diners some money during their visit. It's best to come prepared!

Delicious, fresh and authentic. Had chicken Jaflong and Tikka masala. Jaflong is now my new favourite curry and both had plenty of chicken, flavour, sauce and were medium heat. Pilau rice, chips and a garlic naan between two was more than enough. Take cash with you, as cash machines in town charge you. Wish I lived in Ripon and not on holiday.

I had never tried this place before, always had a sit down in the restaurant next door. Wasn't expecting much tbh as the reviews were a bit mixed. Anyway I tried a Saturday evening takeaway, order included a Chana Ghoust, Handi Lamb, Bombay potatoes, mushroom bhaji, peshwari naan and rice. Have to say I was blown away how good it was, lots of flavour, good amount of heat but without blowing your head away. They even threw in a couple of poppadoms and mango chutney for free. Maybe I caught the good chef!, whatever it was darned good.
