Beautiful food.. the starts was gawjus. I got the meat samosas an the fillings was full off flavour an was full... The main corse ther plenty to choose from. I got madras, garlic nan an chips.. only thing off putting for me was they put salt on chips, now thats not normally a problem but they put loads on. So if yh going order chips ask with out salt. The main corse was full off flavours an the chicken was perfect an soft. The service was great but they take ther time between starts an the main corse.. ova then that i would highly recommend this takeaway to eat in

Visited today as part of the tapas route. For only €3 we had a nice selection of mixed pakora and a beer. For an extra 50c you could have a soft drink or 0.0% alcohol free beer. Nice little sample which we enjoyed with mint sauce and sweet chilli sauce. Great atmosphere and everyone was smiling around us.

I only haven't given this place 5 stars because of things that are important to me. Cold plates are just not on, especially when you are not provided with warmers for your food. The quantity of food and quality was lovely. We were well looked after, and the price was really good 2 x wine, 2x pints, poppadoms, starter, mains, rice, nan €47 and an after dinner drink

Currently sat in the Punjabi, after being welcomed by the owner and shown to my table, my drinks order was swiftly taken and rapidly delivered alongside poppadoms and chutneys etc. I ordered chicken tikka starter which came sizzling on a hot plate alongside onions and peppers, absolutely amazing! I have got work in customers houses tomorrow so was sensible and went for a chicken tikka massala main, but these guys are very accommodating and I asked for it with medium heat, accompanied by basmati rice and dare I say it, chips! Us Northern lads love chips with everything I also had a side of cheese Nan but I would thourghly recommend the cheese and onion nan. Me and my wife have been coming here since the day they opened and yes in the past there has been times where it hasn't been the best, but for at least the the last 12 months this has and is the best curry house in the vega baja.
