Amazing meal, spice level hot was great but if you're a spice lover I'd say Indian hot is worth a try, Naan was lovely in flavour and texture, I'd love a bit more char though personally, Butter Chicken and Lamb Korma were the best we've tried so far in wellington. I didn't catch the name of the man serving but he was lovely, overall a great experience, will absolutely eat here again.
