Absolutely disgusting I went there yesterday with a bunch of lads food took so loong to come out oh my days and those onion bhajis were stale and hard had no taste at all. Will not be ordering that again. Service was alright but just took waaaay too long and those bajis were stale.
Ordered for delivery. Took over an hour so gave them a call. Staff said food was on its way but. But then took another half an hour. When it arrived the order was wrong. I called them back and they said they would give me a discount 'next time I order'. Well that's not going to happen!!
Food was ok, service was ok, BUT……OMG when I came out after dining in there my clothes literally stank!!! I could smell the curry cooking smell all the way home, I went to bed and all I could smell was my clothes that I hung up before getting into bed, woke up in the morning first thing I could smell was the awful wrench my clothes were kicking out!! Got out of bed and all my clothes that I wore that night including coat went straight into washing machine. Not sure if they are using the extraction but never experienced that from any Indian. We always normally use blue cobra for 20 years never had that problem ever. Wouldn’t go again just for that reason.
We ordered a takeaway from this restaurant 17:30 and we rang them twice our meal was supposed to be here at 18:40 we run them at 19:00 they said it will be here within 10 minutes and it never arrived and we are hungry and we have to order from somewhere else
Amazing chicken goan.. Best curry ever, ❤️
First time ordering a home delivery from Indian cottage food arrived on time unfortunately chicken tikka starter was missing but when I phoned they sent another driver round with one straight away ..The korma curry I ordered was perfect the chicken was tender and delicious the rice was cooked well I would say the best korma curry I have ever had ..also the namb bread was lovely..I haven't had the chicken tikka starter yet because it didn't arrive with the meal so will have tomorrow but I'm shore it will be good .. I will definitely be returning as a customer the food was perfect and customer service excellent.
Me and my good friend had plans to catch up for dinner. After a few years we were excited to say the least. He had just been on a fantastic adventure around India and had heard this was the place to go. Unfortunately we couldn't have been more wrong. From the outside the candles and the aubiance looked great. However once we entered we were greeted by not overly enthusiastic staff. It really felt as if they couldn't get rid of us fast enough. We had the following to eat. Mutter paneer, veg biryani and lamb dupiza with garlic and cheese naan bread. Now, the saddest part of all of this is that the mutter paneer transpired to be made with cheddar cheese. We politely enquired if this was the case and the rude response from the waiter was 'if you wanted paneer you should have asked for INDIAN mutter paneer'. Paneer is a type of cheese, I didn’t ask for a cheddar curry. The long and short of this is that the food lacked taste and flavour and there was a distinct lack of customer service from the staff. Especially when we enquired to reduce the bill, no questions - they literally told us that's the price. Unfortunately this restaurant just seems to lack any passion for what is typically an amazing cuisine. Lacklustre is the only way to describe the experience, both the food and service. £50 for 2 tasteless bland meals, devistated is an understatement. When the candle is the highlight - don't be that moth to the flame.
The worst service you ever get in your life. I came here a few times (3 or 4) because my friends like here and the taste of food are not too bad. However the person service you are insane ... I asked for fish curry from menu and he replied " how many time I told you no fish ..." "why you put fish in the menu then" "this is the old menu..." I asked for a suggested lamb dish, he replied " I told you last time for... dish " I think it must be couple of month ago. I will never go back again for sure !!!
Ordered a meal, delivery driver nice as pie, we were nice to him too, forgot coke. The restaurant said they’d resend the coke, 3 hours after the initial ordering still no bottle of coke, rang multiple times, they then said on the final time the driver did not want to come back!! Offered a free meal next time but it’s just not good enough how can a driver decide whether to come back or not! Especially as we rang 3-4 times in between whilst waiting to not be told this. Such a shame as haven’t had a problem before, I don’t know if I will be coming back here again.
