Another fantastic meal at Gaja. It was a birthday celebration and our party was made to feel very special. The table was beautifully decorated and there was a birthday card and bracelet too. We love the attention to detail that all the staff give. Food as always was superb. We'll definitely be going back again soon.

From start to finish it was an exceptional experience.
When booking I mentioned it was a birthday. On arrival at the table was a birthday card signed by all the staff, a bracelet and chocolates. We also received a glass of prosecco on arrival. The staff's attention to detail was impeccable and the service was phenomenal.
The ambience of the restaurant was fantastic and decorated beautifully.
The food was out of this world and you could choose the spice of your curry to your taste.
At the end of our meal a dessert was bought out and they sang happy birthday. We had complimentary shots too!
Even the toilets were spotless and were we'll stocked with any sanitary needs. Even toothpicks!
I cannot recommend this restaurant enough and we will be sure to return very soon. Our new favourite place to go.

What a won't restaurant. The best dining experience ever.
We were given a glass of prosecco on arrival, the menu explained and a cocktail special offer highlighted. The best Pornstar Martini ever .... £6.50!!
The ambience was amazing. A really lovely atmosphere.
I had a Nepalese Chicken dish which was lovely, and the pilau rice was so fluffy.
We were treated by the chef to his version of Dirty Fries. Beautiful with an Indian spice.
The chefs came out of the kitchen and spoke to each table, which I thought was a lovely touch.
We finished off the evening with two complementary shots!!
Go soon before the prices go up.

They phoned me to let me know they would be short staffed because of illness. They were so apologetic but assured me we would not have to cancel but we may need to be patient . They could not do enough for us, and they were so lovely. The food was delicious as were the drinks and I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Our first visit to Ga Ja and we were very impressed. Warm welcome, very friendly staff. The menu was explained to us. Had a complimentary glass of Prosecco on arrival and complimentary poppadum's and dips. The service was excellent. Your food is cooked to your liking and strength of curry. I had a lamb Rogan Josh which was lovely with a huge amount of lamb. Very enjoyable evening in beautiful surroundings. We will definitely return

A fabulous place. Beautifully decorated with gorgeous table settings. Food amazing with a small but perfect menu and love that it’s individually cooked with your choice of heat. Great veggie options too. We were there for a birthday and they couldn’t have treated us better. It felt very special. We will be back again soon
