1 /5 Yus Ali: GENUINE REVIEW:
I had come here this evening with my partner for dinner, we were served by a gentleman who was seeing everyone queuing up.
We were seated quite quickly, and ordered food not long after…
FOOD:
We ordered 1 pair of vegetable samosas, mushroom and onion rice, chicken saag, chicken tikka masala and 2 plain rice.
Vegetable samosas - came out quick enough but both were loop warm to cold.
Chicken saag - the chicken saag texture was really thick and had absolutely no taste to eat, also was very salty.
Chicken tikka masala - chicken pieces were soft, but the sauce was runny, had no taste of either cream or tomato. This was a runny texture and tasted like a gravy that came out of a bisto sachet!
Mushroom and onion rice, the rice lacked flavour, the onions were boiled not panned of fried, the mushrooms seemed like they were out a tin and not fresh at all.
Naan bread - the breads looked fine but again had absolutely no taste to how a plain naan should taste like, they had a crisp and fluffy texture but not the best I’ve had.
Condiments sauces - the mint yogurt sauce lacked taste and not enough sugar to give the sauce it’s natural flavour
The mango chutney, was good and had chunks, chilli sauce was also good and had flavour.
SERVICE:
The service for me was not above par, a polite woman took our order after asking her questions about the dishes we ordered but seems to lack the knowledge of the menu.
We had also asked 3 times for water before we was given any, plates we left empty after our starter although asked if they could be taken to provide more serving space.
At the end I had asked for the bill and was not given one just the manager coming up with the card machine and quoting me £38. I didn’t bother to ask as at this point I wanted to just leave!
One of the waiters was cleaning out table before leaving who acknowledged us and asked about the food which I didn’t hold back and said it was appalling, he asked why and I had told him which he obviously felt embarrassed and didn’t know what to say not even a sorry….
I won’t be coming back here at all and o do not recommend such a place! I even gave my salaam on arrival to the manager who obviously didn’t want to acknowledge me at all…
I would unfortunately avoid coming here as there are many places on the high street to eat better quality food at the same price or even less.
