To be avoided;

As soon as you sit down you receive the wrong type of attention. The waiters are pushy and more oriented to increasing your bill than customer service. Despite the many waiters we became invisible to the point they almost took our plates away before we received the first course. The food was mediocre at best; chewy, with an almost ready made microwave texture and taste. The bottled coke was flat and had all the signs of not being 'the real thing' which is most likely why the bottle hadn't been opened at the table. After declining the plethora of after meal sells; coffee and desserts, no thank you, no coffee, no thank you, dessert... well you get the picture... after 20 mins we decided to just pay at the till where four waiters were chatting. I would struggle to believe that you could write a positive review on this restaurant but as its christmas i would say that the decor is nice....just don't eat anything.

i ate here with my family, august 2011. excellent food, terrible service.

one of the waiters had a real attitude problem. he mockingly questioned or refused our requests like a surly teenager. we asked to keep 1 starter plate to have with the mains and he had a right strop, saying he wouldn't clear any of the plates away! another, friendlier waiter cleared them away eventually. then the table was running out of room anyway and we were asking him to put certain plates in front of the person who ordered them, as is normal, to which his response was "well if you made some room you could move the plates yourself'! now, we're not fussy or prim people but that was just outrageous! we had to ask him to apologise so we could get on with the meal. he grudgingly did, but it was not sincere.

i also overheard him being aggressive to some takeaway customers that were waiting, so it wasn't just us.

we all agreed the food was excellent, i had very tasty king prawn poori and some lamb chops which you don't see very often. but i would have to say stay away if service means anything to you. i really hope the restaurant gets rid of this arrogant teenager of a waiter, as he is not doing the chefs any justice.

Deea and we have a love- hate relationship. The food is excellent, thats why we come back and back and back. But their take away service is always a source of irritation for us. First of all, something minor, they dont label the containers. Just imagine ordering 4 portions of chicken, tomato based, and you do the guessing game. But we all ordered something different.

Second, there is always one mistake. Which is a bit more serious. I dont know why, but one item is always wrong. Is it deliberate? Dont they care? Again a minor source of annoyance. And the last one is again a minor source, but they add up. While the portions are good sized, in take-away the ration meat/sauce is clearly on the sauce side. Today we had garlic prawns. Excellent. But 4 prawns? I mean, I am not a glutton but that is a bit on the small side.For 10 pounds.

So.. we are again cured for another few month. But we will be back. Because the food is good.
