    Had a cappuccino and samosa chat. Service is excellent, went through the drive through no body was in the venue. The delivery of the food was top quality paper goods was nice but to be honest the cappuccino was not very warm and 3.00 for a coffee.. and was a very small cup .......and the samosa chat for 4.95 Was expecting a bigger portion than 1 somosa with a bit of sauce on, will I go back 7.95 for a coffee and 1 somosa will have to think about that, hopefully the portion size may increase when I go again, the staff where excellent. This place has the best drive through menu I have ever seen

    Visited 15/02/2024, lots of accessible parking if not going through drive through and is adjacent to multiple EV charging points so if your in the vicinity it’s worth stopping in for a bite to eat. I ordered the chicken rice bowl and loaded fries, both very filling and tasty, made quickly and given a table buzzer device by friendly staff so when order ready could go to till area to collect. I also ordered a Kashmiri pink chai and was very tasty and would highly recommend. One thing that was a bonus is that can use if you are eligible the blue light card discount here which is fantastic

    Saw this pop up on my news feed so thought I'd try! Not sure I'm as thrilled as others. But definitely enjoyed the chicken tikka naan. Masala chips weren't all that good, its just chips coated in a tangy/spicy sauce.
