This was an out of town visit for six of us up the road in Buckingham. Parking is limited outside but inside the restaurant is comfortable and relaxed.

We were given a warm welcome by Gaz and his team who were attentive throughout our visit. There is a well stocked bar with a selection of bottled and draught beers.

After being seated the poppadoms arrived quickly with an excellent choice of pickles. Starters were well presented with generous portions. Our mains arrived hot and were well presented. Although some of our group commented that their dishes were not as spicy as indicated on the menu but enjoyed their food none the less. There was a good selection of breads and rice dishes.

On talking to other patrons this is a popular restaurant with a regular
clientele

I can’t finish this without mentioning the toilets; clean, recently decorated (think silver!), small but adequate and an improvement on many restaurant toilets.

Also, check out the scores and the common curry.

Positive	Negative
Table was ready on our arrival. Had to be changed after we were seated as it was too small for six people	Doesn’t have its own parking
Dips were all laid out on the table before our arrival. Very good selection of ‘7’ dips, one very hot one	Only one toilet, very clean but incredibly small
The staff were very attentive, Gaz, the manager, happy to talk and get feedback	The draught Strongbow cider, not sure if it was!. The draught IPA, didn’t look or taste like an IPA!
King Prawn Puri, good taste, decent portion, very nice light puri	Suspect our special salad with the starters is not the norm as the table next to us all got the standard lettuce and tomato
Babori Mix selection of chefs choices, various tasty starters well presented	Quite busy but too long a gap between starter and mains
Special order, Rashmi Kebab, huge portion	Gaz’s House Special Korai, not as spicy as indicated on the menu. Didn’t consider it worth the extra cost
Very different salad served with the starters, contained things such as olive, gherkin and various other pickles. Most liked it	Bhindi Bahji, looked good but little taste
Chicken Methi, very tasty	Saag Aloo, poor, suspect tinned potatoes used
Hydrabadi Laptop Special, very good, tender lamb
Bishwanthi Lamb Chop Hiadi, huge portion, very good
Passanda Lamb, creamy and tasty, good if you are a fan of the less spicy dishes
Tarka Dhal, delicious, crispy onions on top
All rice and naans (Honey Naan, a new experience) were good
