Very reasonable price

Very reasonable price, naan bread nice, tandoori mix grill was okay. The chicken cooked well and tender. The lamb was a bit too well done. Chicken tikka masala mild as expected but not as deep in flavour as preferred with good portion of chicken. Lamb Rogan Josh was not as expected sauce was okay but needed more lamb and for it to be more tender. Bombay potato was okay again not as strong in depth of flavour. Was okay overall, not memorable but equally for the price probably equitable value.
