Kind attentive staff, great food that was made very quickly and affordable prices

I have never ordered from this restaurant before. The reviews looked good so decided to place an order through just eat! I have just finished off one of the best curries I've ever had and will be using them again no question. Thank you star of spice!!

The Sunday banquet is great, I've taken a few of my friends multiple times, and each time, it's been value for money tasty. The owner / Front of house person is always welcoming and friendly. I would recommend supporting this business and giving them a try

I have been to this resturant twice with my gf. The food is always what every people’s tongue wants and the service was also excellent. We were served by a polite gentleman named helal. He was so polite and kind to every customer. Will definitely go again and again and i’ll recommend everyone if you want to try spicy and yummy indian foods.

Beautiful, authentic, lovingly made food. I’ve eaten here twice now and each time I go the food keeps on getting better, I’m going again tonight. I’ve had the lamb madras, lamb chops, onion bhajis (oil free btw!) coconut rice & tarka dahl before, going to get the lamb Biryani tonight and I’m so excited! The owner is a lovely, generous and kind gentlemen and the staff are equally kind and lovely.

Amazing, fresh tasting food, great service and such good prices. Staff are lovely and attentive. Come here every time for an Indian, won’t go anywhere else. Thanks so much guys!
