    Terrible experience. The curries were watery with just - small pieces of chicken – like eating flavored water. We ordered a Bhuna, Jalfrezi, and Shashlik, and all were disappointing. The rice was bland and tasteless.Easily the worst Indian takeaway I’ve had, and it was overpriced too. Plenty of better options out there – avoid this place.

    Me and my friend, always going for drive and randomly searching for a nice place try out. Then we spotted Thapas! We thought it was Indian Tapas...Turns out to be Nepalese.Butter Chicken with Buttered Chapatis, and Chilli Chips... We forgot to take pictures of the food again. Because we enjoyed it soo much and there’s nothing left to take pictures of a empty plates lol Shiva is the main front of house and he has the right attitude to run type of business.I wish him all the all best for business.

    Historically excellent experience with Thapas however this evening received a takeaway of butter chicken and paneer madras. From ordering to delivery took over an hour (at pm) however this wouldn’t have been a problem had the butter chicken not been cooked with cream that was completely off and sour. Rest of the dishes were cold. Rang to inform the restaurant, order cancelled and refunded but not even an apology.Really disappointed as had previously been very good but completely put off using this restaurant again.
