    We went for a business dinner and enjoyed the experience. The location is great, the restaurant had a nice vibe and the service was good. We all ordered a thali which was a bit of a let down. It didn't feel very authentically Indian and the portions were very small.

    Nice place on the edge of Bicester. Food was excellent and of the highest standard. We ate Indian and it was very authentic, tasty and beautifully presented. Food was reasonably priced for what it was. The wine however, as is often the case, was well over priced which was a shame.

    The chicken tikka sizzler starter was delicious and the saag main was tasty but not hot enough. Service was friendly but slow. The music was very loud and gave the place a club vibe which isn't to my taste. 12.5% service charge was added to the bill, which we weren't expecting.

    The Indian meal (Thalia) was beautifully presented and delicious. The service was prompt and everyone was very pleasant. The music was a little loud for our taste but this didn’t detract from the meal
