I mean it's A LOT! especially at the end of an day. I dont know how I didnt know.  Seeing it in black and white makes me think twice...

Its quite a popular restaurant choice for friends with birthdays so it would be good to know the best options on the menu so we can all order with confidence without making a fuss!

Def stay away from the naan!

Will try and get specifics. Issy x
