My wife and I have visited several times now, and they always do a fantastic job accommodating vegan and vegetarian diets. A huge shoutout to Nilufa, who is consistently amazing and super friendly every time we see her! We will definitely keep coming back

Consistent great taste in each location. A huge downside is that they seem to have discontinued curry ketchup which was my very favourite. Some poor excuse about not being able to cover allergies disclosure rubbish excuse... Rubbish requirement if that was enforced on them.

Called in for first time at Rotherham Parkgate, young server called Jayden took my order and brought it. The midweek deal is value for money. The thing that stood out for me was the young server, Jayden and his attentiveness and willingness to be helpful to all customers. Will call again of in the area.
