"I came across this place after reading the high number of positive reviews (also the 1 negatiw seemed to pick up at stealing! and thought it would be the perfect place to take the family for a decent evening meal! the first thing we noticed was the size of the parking lot, which has plenty of parking, so already a big positive for those who need to drive out of the far away. the size of the restaurant is quite large and really well decorated inside with an authentic feel to it. the service was really 2. to none, the personal was really friendly and was really helpful by looking into what some of the dishes were like. So we ordered our dishes and soon enough we had dinner on our table, which was a free appetizer! in addition, after our first course another round free ones arrived! so for now, nothing but praise for the place! So for beginners we had the chicken momo and vegetarian pakado’s that were amazing! the momos above all, something I never had before, it was so light and full of fresh aromen with a beautiful kick to him and the sose that accompanied it was perfect! for the net we had the gurkhali thali, which consisted of a lamb dish, lens court and a vegetarian dish with rice and puri. I enjoyed both the cute dishes, but that lame threw us all away! it was perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned so not too hot (not that I hot dishes, but the taste was immense! it was just so delicious and if I was back to visit, I would definitely order it from myself because it was so good! to go along the food, I enjoyed a beautiful glass Indian shiraz that I would never come by, so was very impressed to find it here in wednesbury! the only thing that surprised me was that for a Friday night they had only a few groups with so many other tables free! I couldn't get my head around why eating, authenticity, service, ambiente, decor. everything was 10/10, so it would be a crying scandal if this place doesn't take long as it really is worth visiting! I'm sure there'll be a visit enough to get the people back here, because I'm sure I'll go back soon!"

"I arranged a meeting and decided to go to a competitor's Indian restaurant, but it was a bit challenging and some of the staff were not very friendly. A friend recommended this place to me, and I was pleasantly surprised by the interior. The menu offered a good selection of dishes for both meat-eaters and vegetarians. The portions were quite generous, and in hindsight, I probably should have ordered a smaller mixed grill, but it was Christmas after all. The Indian mixed grill we ordered was excellent and arrived at our table sizzling hot, creating quite a bit of smoke. The portion size was large, with enough food to comfortably feed 4 people with the included naans. The value for money was fantastic. I also tried the lamb saag, which was tender and flavorful. The sauces and dips were served in a nice presentation, rather than being in large squeeze bottles like some other places. They provided paper napkins, not cheap kitchen roll, and offered a take-home option for leftovers. The staff was very friendly, and I look forward to visiting again in the future."

"The food is really enjoyable. Some of the meat can be a bit dry in parts but generally speaking it's quite good. Is it better than what you'd get at the average chippy? Not for what it costs. Ordering two box meals and a couple of sides got the cost up to £50 with charges. Considering a large mixed meat in naan at my local chip shop is £7, it's incredibly expensive.There's far too much waste which really needs to be addressed. Every food item is at least two layers of packaging deep. With a box meal you have the outer corrugated cardboard box, then all dividers inside, then the kebab sandwich is in a box of its own, then it's in a foil wrapper, then it's in a paper wrapper. It's all needless waste and when we're all trying to be more conscious of our carbon footprint this just isn't required.There are some nice things that just aren't replicated elsewhere, their kebab bread is fantastic and very similar to a traditional Turkish pide. Their sauces are really good too. Full of flavour and balanced well with the meat but I will say there's never enough of it. Three little poxy pots is all you get.The fries are average. Nothing remarkable about them. The spicy fries are a tasty addition but this option does bump up the price but again, perfectly average.Overall I'd recommend that it's worth trying at least once but the prices are way over valued and quantity in some areas lack. If they cut down on all the needless packaging they could even bring the prices down but £15-20 for a box meal (one can of pop, one kebab sandwich, one fries and two spring rolls) it's a bit of a joke."

"Came for food admittedly it was last minute. Was told to order within 10 minutes if we wanted food. So we ordered straight away. Food came out fast which was nice. It was tasty. The woman who brought it out was lovely. We were enjoying eating our food when a skinny bar man decided to tell us we needed take away boxes. So we started to hurry our food. He then came back to see if we were hurrying and before we could even clear the plates he came to take them away. We then turned round to see the manager who was starring at us in a very rude manner. We understand you need to close but we still had 15 minutes until closing time to continue to finish our food and drinks. There was people in the section opposite us they continued to enjoy their drinks even after we left and they were not treated this badly. We would have been finished in time had we not been ‘shooed off’ and left a good review. We spent nearly £60 for this bad treatment. Would not recommend if you’re looking for a nice chilled out meal with good service. It’s unacceptable."

"I’m a returning customer to the lamp. Once again the food was fantastic and the service was excellent. We came on Saturday evening and I left my handbag with my purse inside. I didn’t realise until Monday morning. I contacted you by msg at 9am within minutes i had reply to say you had it and I could collect later that day. I would like to thank you for your honesty and keeping my bag safe."
