"had a fantastic experience here tonight. every item we ordered was cooked to perfection. when you know how real Indian food tastes, mama masala surpassed all the expectations we had, and it wasn't like her run the mill Indian foods that push most places out here. the aromen were authentic and balanced and each court had the “Omph” factor to it, including the pistazienkulfi, which was a satisfying wise to finish our amazing meal. the ambiente and the service were the top notch like the choice of music. Also the cocktails were well made and fresh. a small jewel for glengormely. if they have not tried this place, they take a punt on them and they will never search anywhere for their Indian fix ."

"Been to this place a few times, sit and takeaway. While I cannot fault the food as it is always tasty and well presented, they do seem to be forgetful. Was in a few weeks ago, got Chicken Goujons and chips with Garlic and Sweet chilli dips to takeaway and a Caramel Rise crispy Square, brought back to the office was delicious and really enjoyed but today they lost their memory. Said to me I couldnt have gotten them there and they do not offer as takeaway. This was only 2 weeks ago so someone has got it wrong. Very disspointing that they did not seem to beleive me and even asked was I sure it was in their establishment. Not good to question a customer like that. Anyhow, did not seem to be getting though to them, all four of them. Order a toastie and a carmel rice crispy square, Toasties lovely, Carmel Rice Crispy Square was not in the bag, just a plain one. It was nice but not a s nice as the others. Lesson, do not agrue with customers, if they say they got something they got it. Pity , as the food is good. Update, still not been back, no reply from the resturant. That means they still believe their own PR. Update 20th Feb 2024, have been back recently and really cannot fault the food, sandwiches , good choices and some lovely tray bakes. Appreciate the chef reply to reviews and explaining the situation."

"Been dying to go to this restaurant and finally got the opportunity to go, what a disappointment!!! £65 for 2 adults and 1 child families do not go here what I can only say are their “regulars” don't appreciate kids in there. The chilli beef nachos were something that could have been made at home salsa and guacamole freezing and chilli was not a bit spicy and full of grease. The deli burger and the kids chicken goujons the skinny fries were undercooked and had to be sent back the burger, the bap was soggy and far too greasy. The desperate dan meal the sausages were burnt. Needless to say wont be back and what a waste of money!!!!! The serving staff were phenomenal so friendly and helpful but defo over worked and literally running around the restaurant"

"Ordered nine pizzas and sides for a family get together. Absolutely outstanding service. The Pizzas were first class. They do some great unusual toppings as well as the old favourites. The special chicken goujons are unreal. Highly recommended."

"We had a great thrum with the buildup to my cousins 16th birthday. Heard nothing but glowing reports of the restaurant and service as family have been eating there for 12/13 years. Me and my missus were first to arrive, told at the door there was no booking with our name and it might be the Indian up the street. Called family organiser who confirmed I was in right place and had email (or Facebook) confirmation of reservation. Scramble to arrange tables in private function room when rest of family arrived, a large group of people standing in the cold. Drinks service for 15 people took 35 minutes, we brought our own alcohol, so that was for soft drinks and glasses. Waited further 10 minutes for order to be taken. Around 30 minutes on starters, they were tasty enough. 30 more minutes before someone cleared starters. Had lady serving soft drinks who made a point of saying I don 't even work here . 45 minute wait and plates came out for the main course, they were warm. 25 minute further wait for main courses to arrive plates and food was freezing by then. Not everything arrived. Young server with nose piercing had been doing his absolute best, serving a big party mostly alone, running the food and dealing with other customers. I 'm an area manager within the hospitality sector at present, there 's so much more I could say but keeping it simple, the young lad done his best under the circumstances. Family members who were familiar with the staff and restaurant asked to speak with the owner. He refused to come out of the kitchen and speak with said family members, telling the same young lad to come out, deal with us and offer a 15% discount. Appallingly unacceptable. The food smelt gorgeous, it was just a shame that every dish on the table was stone cold and half arrived. We went back to the 16th birthday 's house and ordered pizzas. Brought stress and upset to not only the family and the birthday boy, but the young server was clearly taking it personal as he felt he let us down young man you did not let us down, you were let down by the owner of that restaurant and done the best under the circumstances you were given. It won 't be any time soon, though I do wish to eventually try this Biryani I 've heard so much about. Pity."
