Decided to give this restaurant a try because they had a menulog discount. Was not disappointed, the butter chicken and garlic naan was amazing!! We asked for spicy and it was the perfect level of spice (we like spicy). Also we had it delivered and the food was delivered way earlier than expected!

The "4 Sisters" had a wonderful evening here mid week. Lovely meal, butter chicken is 10/10. Korma was too spicy for my taste. Staff were great. See you next time!

Our first time ordering from here. Absolutely could not fault anything. Food was 10 mins early, it was hot, order was 100% spot on, tasty and flavourful and generous servings. They even marked each dish so we could tell them apart. Delivery driver was friendly and respected the social distance rules (we don't care, but it's nice that they respect and think of their customers). We are extremely impressed. Thank you! We WILL be back.
