    I'll be available anytime.. ;)

    Their specials cost €8.50, range from steak to shish kebabs, all served with chips, salad and naan/pitta bread.

    They then have Indian meals like Masala, Jalfreizi, Vindaloo etc for €9.50, this comes with Rice.

    They also had stuff like burgers for €5.50, breakfasts etc.

    Very reasonable, and as you can see, I have visited often!

    Forgot about the charcoal grill! It's more like a cafe/fast food restaurant, but yes, the food is excellent, and the service is great. Everytime I get a take away from there the owner/manager goes out of his way to make sure everything is ok, and will even make any food you want!! The tikka masala is nice.

    Wandered by to look at the place earlier tonight. It really does look like a caf. But the menu is varied, they look pretty well set up and it was clean. So I'm all for trying it out next time I get the takeaway urge :)

    Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention about it being small and cafe like.

    HOWEVER! I heard the owner speaking to one of the staff members and saying how he intends to do like what Pizza Mama/Slice of Life did. Get the customer base and then find a bigger place.

    The building is the old Triple S sambo/soup shop. I have to agree that the guy really goes out of his way. On a Friday a co-worker and myself head in, and he always discuss's things about the meals we want. My friend commented on how spicy a certain dish was and he said he'd tone it down next time for her!
