We are regular visitors and have been for a number of years. The menu is interesting and varied, the tandoori trout starter is amazing.

We had a lovely meal here on Saturday night. It was very busy but the food was superb. Would highly recommend this place and they also have a good wine list which is reasonable priced.

Food is fantastic, staff are very friendly and the restaurant is immaculate. My partner and I go every week with family would not go anywhere else now.

its easy to find on the A66 near Darlington. A great choice of curries and sides. If you are not sure they will make some suggestions according to your taste. They also do take away but pre order as they can be very busy and you may need to wait but it is worth the wait
