“ We have been meaning to try this restaurant for ages having read the reviews. Unfortunately we only get the chance when we visit my wife's parents in Swinton as we live the other side of the Penines. Finally got there this week and it was everything we hoped it would be. Proper old school indian and all our meals were delicious. I had a lamb madras that was honestly so tasty with succulent pieces of meat. Definitely going again next time we're over!!!! ”
