Star of India

"Only one other table of eight was occupied when we went in early on a Thursday evening. We were offered drinks promptly & the main menu provided. On request we were given the ‘menu del dia’ which we ended up ordering from. Fresh popadoms & pickle tray followed by a very good tandoori king prawn starter as well as a reasonable Star Special mixed pakora starter. We requested a gap between the starters & main courses which was no problem whatsoever. My wife pronounced the white wine by the glass ‘decent’ & the half litres of Mahou Classica were going ‘straight down the hatch’ to the extent that I never ended up ‘double parked’ (courtesy of Sandro Ford). After a suitable time we requested our main courses of king prawn curry & the ubiquitous chicken tikka masala with pilau rice (enough to feed a village of several hundred people) & a freshly cooked garlic naan. The curries were very good with the chicken in a tastier creamier sauce compared to the spicier king prawn curry. Deserts were offered but we settled for coffees followed by complimentary Limoncellos. Very good value at €59.10 for 2 x menu del dia, a garlic naan, 4 x 500ml Mahou & 4 glasses of Vino Blanco, coffees & liquers. Maria Luz was friendly, efficient & helpful whilst we enjoyed our evening - Thank you."

"Great tapas menu for only €16 Per person. If you like a different but good tapas. This took me by surprise. A bottle of red wine and a light dessert is included in the €16 menu. The included dessert is as boring as it can be. 3 plums."

"The service is not bad, the waiters are active and the food was served quite quickly. We ordered many dishes and most of them were tasty, however the samosa was veeery dry. My husband is a cook and he knows what samosa should be. At the end of dinner, the waiter asked if we liked everything, but after a remark about samosas, he attacked us morally, although we didn't refuse to pay for the entire dinner. Thats why 3 stars for service"

"We had a fabulous meal in this restaurant. It was really busy, and the lovely guy came over to us during our meal to apologise for not having enough time to chat to us earlier! We ordered several dishes, and each one was superb. We sat outside and had a lovely view of the sun stting and the beach. Gorgeous!"
