“ The best Indian in Devon!!!! We visited with our family on weekend and I can say that, this is probably the best Indian Restaurant in Devon. We ordered different dishes, so we can share. Every dish was authentic and tasted excellent and full of flavors. Nice presentation and good portion as well. Restaurant decor is nicely done with luxury ambience and overall, it was worth the visit. A must visit if you are in Torquay. ”
“ Best curry ever. Went two nights on the trot! 'Pardon the pun'!. I had... The 'Goan' beef vindaloo! Melt in your mouth bite size chunks of beef. So tender,...no knife needed! Spicy...but not stupid hot, so you can actually taste the food. Loved it. Also had grilled prawns, rice, and a mixed dish, which was also 1st class. Couldn't fault this place. We went early, 5 30ish, so was very quiet. The staff were friendly, and attentive. Very clean in every aspect. The leather chairs were extremely comfortable. We had a beer/wine, and our bill was approx 45! Great value, and great service. Highly recommended. Will definitely go again, when down that way again. 5***** ”
