Seating

Baby highchairs are available on request anywhere in the restaurant.
Quiet Areas and Indian Flavours
For diners with Autism or those who may prefer a more tranquil spot to enjoy their meal, the upstairs restaurant is ideal, with cosy booths and generally a quieter atmosphere away from the activity of coming and going takeaway customers downstairs. The seating to the right of the staircase near the upstairs bar is more tucked away and may be a suitable option for someone wishing for this.
The restaurant is a sensory experience heightened with the aromatic herbs, spices and flavours from the Indian region. Diners will enjoy the wide selection of fresh dishes and strength range of spice for the less adventurous eaters, and the variety of smells and textures of different foods to share amongst company.
Parking
There are street parking spaces (subject to availability) directly outside the restaurant entrance and free parking in the main market square across. Further parking is available around the market square, including accessible bays, all within convenient walking distance of the restaurant.
Diners with Dementia
It is of note that the restaurant has black mats in the entrance, which some visitors with Dementia may be affected by.
