This was supper out on a business trip, we were tired and just wanted some food a few drinks and back to the digs to collapse. Well, what a surprise, this is a nice place it's sort of elegant, nice furniture, smartly dressed waiters who were really nice, good at their jobs and professional. This felt different to the hundreds, that might be a slight exaggeration, but only slight, to the many lets call them "Indian" restaurant's although most of them aren't that we've visited all over the world. This is nice, not massively different, but no stupidness or gaudy tigers leaping out at you. The menu is good, not huge which always scares me a little but it reflects the region's and therefore the flavours quite well and ticks enough of the boxes for most I would have thought. We spotted something we'd not seen before, or if we have we'd missed it; Peshwari chicken. I know what you're think Peshwari Naan, well it's nothing like it. it's not sweet, it's stunning. Out of the thousands nay possibly more, I think I might be exaggerating again, anyway out of a lot of fantastic Asian restaurant's we've had the pleasure to dine at this has to be one of the best dishes we've had. This is worth a visit for this dish alone, to be honest this is why I've bothered to write all this nonsense. I'm hoping that it wasn't a fluke, a one off where the chef accidently put the wrong something in and created a masterpiece that we ate never to be tasted again, it could happen! Anyway, If you're looking for somewhere to eat in this sleepy little town one evening and you happen to fancy a curry then this place is worth a visit. If you go try the Peshwari Chicken and say Richard recommended it. I have no idea if we'll ever be back in Dorking, but if we are I'd love to go back and ask how many people asked for this amazing dish. I might get a free Kingfisher, who knows, it's all well exciting. Don't forget, Richard said to try the Peshwari Chicken Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy :)
A beautiful village Indian tucked away in the cosy little village of Dorking. We came here for a birthday meal and it did not disappoint. Syed and his family and staff treated us like royalty and attended to our every need. The poppadoms and chutney tray started us off well. The mixed veggie and meat starters were flavoursome. The chaat was delicious. For mains I had the saag paneer and peshwari naan which was probably the best saag I’ve ever had. The others had garlic chicken which was 10/10 and plain naan. We also tried the butter chicken, again 10/10 and a garlic naan. The rice was delicious, everything delicious!!!! Would definitely come back here. It was worth the 1 hour drive for sure!!!!!
We cannot stay away from this place, it is the best curry house. Their specials are so good every week. Especially the chicken butter masala which is a go to for me. The staff here are so welcoming and friendly. We cannot get enough thank you so much for the hospitality!
