We have no qualms in admitting that the food we had on the evening, in comparison to our initial impressions based on both the simple decor and the succinct and straightforward menu, definitely exceeded our expectations.
There's nothing pretentious about this place; and yet, the dishes we received were, by and large, quite superb, with a kitchen fully cognizant of the use of Indian spices via-à-vis balance and harmony.
We will add, however, that while all "dishes are medium spice level", those used to their chilli may want to request cranking up the heat.
Our only criticism would be of Chapati Club's dessert menu, or lack thereof, which, for the moment, comes across as a lazy afterthought more than anything else. If they can manage to bring in some quality Indian desserts, it would complete an otherwise impressive setup, and propel a rating for 4 to something closer to 4.5.
Menu Recommendation
Drink - Sweet Lassi
Starter - Kerala Prawns
Main - Prawns
Dessert - Lemon Sorbet
HALAL STATUS Fully Halal food menu • Alcohol served
The Butter chicken appeared to be a child’s portion and tasted mainly of Heinz tomato soup
The Veggie curry was a handful of frozen vegetables, Co-op style, and was lacking in sauce and flavour the lamb was ok and nothing more. Both meat dishes were disconnected with the sauce
Also the garlic naan was overwhelming and overpowering
A strange stab at Indian food

As for your mainly glowing reviews. Close the windows on this nonsense I doubt their validity. The fact this ‘business’ answers NONE of their reviews confirms this. You’re on borrowed time……Enjoy
Ps. Your reposte confirms my thoughts. Losers!
Hopefully the 730 people that saw my review will swerve you and eat elsewhere
