I highly recommend this curry house and will be going back again,
After we ordered it took them over 40 minutes to get us our food. We tried to get the waiters attention multiple times to see where our food was and the best answer we got was "5 minutes". 15 minutes after that we got our food. I'll give credit where credit is due, the food was good. Well seasoned, with generous portions.
We finished our meal and asked for the check, fast-forward another 15 minutes and check is nowhere in sight. Couldn't wait any longer and went to the front where some of the staff were just chatting. Asked for the check again and they answered that they don't want to take them to the table and ask us for money. As a consolation they offered us some small pieces of chocolate.
Wanted to add that the restaurant was completely empty when we arrived.
TLDR :
Food is good, but the service is horrible.
Edit - food was slightly better than average but if the welsh lamb had been slow cooked as advertised, then I'm a banana!!!
Poppadoms very good, fresh with pickles etc.
Ordered a chicken tikka dopiaza for main, very disappointing, expected lots of unions and peppers, there were none, just pieces of chicken, with a slice of pineapple, in fairly bland sauce.
Will try one of the other restaurants next time.
We visited this restaurant on Saturday 27th August. Our table was for 4 people and we had 1 main course each and 1 side each. We also had 2 pints of cobra and 3 lemonade. We were shocked when the bill came to £101! We added up all of the items on the bill and it in fact came to £92 but there was a 10% VAT charge at the bottom? We were told to pay at the front so I took the bill to who I believe is the manager and said that the total was incorrect and queried the 10% VAT charge stating that VAT is 20% and it does not say anywhere on the menu that we need to add VAT. He said that he pays 10% VAT and we pay the other 10%… dodgy? Straight away I knew he was trying to pull a fast one by adding to our bill. We continued to query and one of his colleagues came over saying to him “we will claim it back next week” and the man then said “ok this time you can pay lower price”. We paid the £92 and left but I want to warn others to please check your bill! I won’t be returning.
We booked on the recommendation of a local person and were not disappointed. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, the food was perfect. One of our party couldn't decide what to have, the waiter asked for her likes and dislikes, went away and came back with a curry made just for her, which she said was one of the best she'd ever had.
We were in quite early, so it was fairly quiet, although filling up by the time we left. The takeaway bags were going out in a steady stream, so the kitchen was busy despite a quiet restaurant, however the service was quick without being rushed. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff were friendly, polite, helpful, I can't fault anything.
