    Not good. Ordered a tandoori selection, pilau rice and naan with extra madras sauce. The tandoori selection was a mixed bag of new and day old meat, a single prawn that was dry and chewy. The sauce (masala) was bland, too much yogurt. The madras sauce was missing. Pilau rice was dry and tasteless. I ordered this meal as a treat for some foreign friends to show what a British curry was like... my mistake.
