The food here is excellent – was tempted to give it 10. Find it bizarre that someone said it was bland and all tastes the same. We shared dishes and they were all superb. The service is a little slow but if you're out for dinner I don't mind that. I went to Benares in Mayfair for a ‘posh’ curry and whilst it was nice I thought I would have rather had my usual from the take away. I would rather have a Painted Heron over nay other curry. Since being taken by a friend at the end of 2011 I have been back 3 times and it ain't that cheap.
