“ One of my favourite curry houses across England and Wales. I've been coming here since my student days way back when, and every time I come back to Aber for a visit, I have to book a table here. Fantastic food, great service. ”
“ By far the best Indian me and my partner have ever had! We can't have an indian anywhere else any more since coming here, every where we've tried since don't come close to these guys.. we travel 3 and a half hours a couple times a year for a weekend and come here every time now. We just wait for an Indian when we come here rather than being disappointed else where! The food is absolutely amazing! And can't wait to be coming in March for another one. We recommend to everyone it's definitely worth the travel for this food, a nice weekend away and great food. The guys who work and own this place are always friendly and welcoming, can not fault this place at all. ”
