This charming eatery masterfully blends traditional recipes with a warm, inviting atmosphere, making it a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike.

    Our new favourite curry spot! Can’t fault the food, delicious and generous portions! We arrived around 5.30pm on Sat, by the time we left at 7pm it was getting busier, but we got seated without issue. Mixed grill and mixed starter were both well presented, arrived quickly and very tasty, would recommend. The mains came not too long after, we had chicken tikka biryani and special mixed Jalfrezi, with naan breads. We couldn’t finish it all and left very full! 5⭐

    Service was good. Partner is disabled. One gent came out to help her through the doors. They were friendly and helpful. Service was excellent. Food was very good. Loved the lemon rice. Ace. Decent portions. One thing, there is a parking bay at the end of the ramp for disabled. A car was obstructing part of it. Otherwise, no complaints at all.

    Excellent service. Very reasonable prices. Food was great. Would definitely recommend. For roughly £40 each we got numerous starters, mains, sides, naan, poppadoms etc, quite a few drinks. All round it was very good value for money.

    Great food. Friendly staff that we had good banter with. Just an all-round great atmosphere. Nice selection of dishes. The main I ordered was a bit too bitter for my liking. But I sampled some of the other mains, including a vindaloo, and they were exceptional. I would recommend for a great evening.

    Our go to Indian restaurant, lovely delicious food and friendly staff. A really nice restaurant, great for family events or a date night. Quality food and excellent service. We usually go here anyway but tonight we won a competition which included a free meal including popadom & chutney, starter each and two main courses aswell as side dishes and a round of drinks. Excellent! (Dine in) See you again soon The Whitecroft
