Punjabi Virsa — Restaurant in Catral

We've been here but it was a strange atmosphere. The food tasted good, but it took very long to get to our dish. We had a evening menu for €15,95. Popodoms as appetizers, a starter at choice, a main course at choice and a dessert at choice. The samosa's where a little to long fried and to hard. Main course was okay but then the dessert. On the plate it was stated dessert or coffee. We would have liked a mango Lassi but that was not possible. So we asked for coffee, also not possible (strange because the plate says something else). Then I ordered a desert from the menu. Mango ice cream and a tea. While the tea was there in about 5 minutes the ice didn't. After a long waiting period I mentioned that it took very long. The (very young) waiter went to ask and came back that we couldn't have that mango ice cream because suddenly it was not available. So we asked the check. We suddenly were urged to pay cash only while on the door was stated that cards are also possible. After we mentioned we only could pay cash, it was suddenly possible to pay with card. Very very disappointed service. Absolutely not recommended. One of us got sick after eating here. We shared except for the Dal soup, so it must...

We went for dinner tonight at a favourite Indan restaurant in Catral. We haven't been for some months and none of the old staff were around. The menu looks the same but the early evening menu had increased in price, but post COVID everything is more expensive. We were really looking forward to the meal sadly my husband who ordered the mixed tandoori platter was very disappointed, his chicken was sour and in-edible and the lamb was so tough it was hard to cut. We were with our family and the experience with the sour and tough meat put us all off our food and spoilt the evening. We told the waiter who offered a replacement which we declined. We got our bill and the waiter had added 3 large beers we didn't have and had charged us for the in-edible meat dish. The waiter wanted the 200 Euro bill paid in cash which said we wouldn't do, we did pay bill with a card minus the beers we didn't have and will never go back again. Sorry Punjabi Virsa, such a shame for what you used to be.... You should have deducted the in-edible meal from the bill....

Awful. After a year we still haven't found anywhere to have a decent curry but this is by far the worst.

It took so long to get the starter we knew it was a mistake trying somewhere new. The plates from the stmmthick and stodgy onion bhaji and prawn puri on thick bread which was all wrong, we waited for over 45 minutes with dirty plates in front of us while the lady behind the bar just stood there.

I asked for a glass of Cava and she looked at us like we had asked for something strange! We asked the man who was serving, taking orders and apparently cooking when he eventually came out and said none by the glass.

After an hour we asked for the main to take away as we were tired of waiting and not expecting much.

When we got home it was average and we didn't finish it. Chewy lamb and a poor chicken madras.

Don't bother, there are better restaurants around with better service. The wallpaper here is taped on! Not a...
