Great little place. Picked up some nibbles as a takeaway on my own. Visited on 3 other occasions as a part of a group and had the barbecue chicken twice and chicken byriani. The barbecue chicken was half a chicken coated with the sauce which was full of flavour which built up with each bite. It was served between 2 pitta bread and with a bit of coleslaw (the only bad part of the meal) and a spicy sauce, on the second visit the sauces was very hot. All the flavour and heat was in the mouth unlike chillies I have eaten which goes to my brow. The fresh orange juice was very refreshing. The barbecue chichen was eaten with fingers using the facilities provided to clean. The chicken byriani was eaten with spoons until it came to the chicken. The local customers were very friendly and chatted with us as were the staff who could speak English.
