"We stopped in here on the offchance to see if they had a table we had been once before, a long time ago. They had several tables left but there were three groups already seated, two of four or five and one of nine. The waiter/manager is always joking and trying to put people at ease, and he recognised us from a previous visit more than a year before, which was welcoming. I can understand how his banter and 'fake ' gruff manner seems a bit offputting to some, but he does a terrific job of being barman, waiter, takeaway manager and server. The food, as on our prior visit, was absolutely outstanding (if in doubt about what to have, you simply must try the pakoras with cheese for a starter but due to the large and noisy group taking everybody 's attention (I 've never seen a group take 8 cigarette breaks during a 2 hour meal before! , the food did take a long time to arrive. However the quality of the food simply can 't be beaten, it really is superb, and so once we had something to eat we were very happy with our experience here."
