Always hear mixed stories about Javentri.  People will only order a take-away and not sit down and vice versa.  Much like Ronseal I found the restaurant does what it needs to do especially if you're on a budget. 
The menu isn't as flamboyant as other Indian restaurants but it has the classics and the staff are only too happy to accommodate your "spicing it up" requests - although be warned sometimes it is to your detriment. 

The atmosphere is lacking somewhat, you may as well be in a doctor's surgery with the way the interior is set up however the staff are pleasant and polite and again if you're there for the meal deal you can't really complain as the food on more occasions than not, meets expectations. 

Drinks like any other curry house are expensive; but that's to be expected right?
