    Actually surprised to see such a restaurant in Oldham. The starter was a king prawn Puri which was absolutely power, lots of flavour and the bread it came on was done very very well. I choose for my main the Gorkali chicken asked for it less spicy which the waiter was happy to do for me. This curry reminds me slightly of a Khariah but even strong flavour and thick sauce which tasted amazing with the nan bread however the nan bread was supposed to be garlic and it didn't taste to strong for me. I think the price of the nan bread is actually quite steep 3.50 as I would normally have two with my meal but then that would be the cost of another starter and almost a main meal! Staff were all very professional and polite as a first time foodie in this restaurant can happily say it will be the regular.
