Thai Aubergine

Well i wouldn't bother. If you tell them you have a taste london card on the phone they either say they can't fit you in or when you come to pay they say because you didn't mention on the phone that you have to pay full whack. They state this in their ts and cs but having gone here lots of times they have turned very unfriendly, and sound like they now have this argument (yes they are quite rude and to the point if you dare to question) and they have lost my business (and will sway my other friends against going here too).

When i got to the restaurant they shoved us at a table and told us we only 1 and half hours to vacate the table, i waited until my first course arrived until i was offered a drink, and then the food was almost tossed in front of us.

There use to be the usual nice lady that served people, now they have her locked out the back and make the nasty lady serve

This is the one thing about taste london i disagree with, once restaurants get people through the door (thanks to the success of taste london) the restaurants change the rules and then try everything to get around discounting meals. They shouln't be on taste london at all anymore.

We were not the only unhappy punters. We left feeling bitter and miserable - thanks lots thai aubergine! By all means follow the rules and you might be fine but i think they will find someway of overcharging/not allowing discount/ ruining your evening.

You've lost my custom for good but return to your old ways and you might not lose any more - you once were great & friendly - but sadly not any more (and also in a pretty seedy area we didn't like walking through anyway!) humph
