Chutney Mary review by Anon
We were down in London for a weekend to catch up with family.
We booked a take for 4 at Chutney Mary on Saturday. The surroundings were lovely and could not find fault. The waiters were efficient and attentive.
We ordered out Starter and Main Courses and were very disappointed with what we received. The lobster starter was deep fried in its shell. My husband nearly broke his teeth in the process! We were not warned. One of us had a chicken dish for the main course. We did not get Chicken breast but BROWN chicken meat.
The meal was a complete disaster for what we paid for the evening to dine there.
To spend over £220 for a meal for 4 I expect something I can go home and be content. I was very disappointed with the evening meal. I resent having o pay this much money for such awful cuisine. If I want to pay for ambience that is one thing but I expect to pay for good food, which clearly was not.
If restaurants such as this want to compete with the likes of Gordon Ramsey, they really need to serve decent food not rubbish brown chicken meat.
On top of that they charged 12.5% service charge!!! I feel i have been ripped off completely and if I could get my money back I would demand it!
I would not recommend anyone to dine at Chutney Mary.

It's a shame you don't realise that brown chicken meat is actually far superior to white chicken breast meat. I suggest you consult a good cookery book as you will soon discover that it holds flavour better and is actually a tastier cut than bland, dry chicken breast - Nigella Lawson, Nigel Slater, Jamie Oliver, and, dare I say, Gordon Ramsay, would all concur on this matter.
Speaking of Ramsay, I very much doubt that Chutney Mary is concerned about competing with his establishments. Chutney Mary is about quick, tasty and well-priced food. It's not a 'destination' restuarant and why should it be?
By the way, I've eaten at Gordon Ramsay, and I had brown chicken meat. It was very nice.
