Yash — Restaurant in Bassetlaw

We have been to yash 3 times , the first time three years ago or so was really great and we raved about it . The second time it was appalling took 2 hours to get our food . Got the order wrong and billed us completely wrong and then tried to say it was our fault ! I put it down to them being extremely busy and having a bad day . Though that was 18 months ago and we personally wouldn’t go back . But my mother in law got some vouchers so we went on Saturday night . Absolutely atrocious . We rang at 1pm in the afternoon and they confirmed a table of four for 6:15 that same day . Took our name etc. we arrived bang on time . To be asked repeatedly , did we book ? What time ? Our name ? What time did we call ? Did we actually speak to someone and did we really call ! Then a lady who is supposedly a regular rudely butted in and spoke to the owner . So she took priority over us . We didn’t complain as didn’t want to disappoint my elderly in-laws . Eventually sat us down . We asked for poppadoms but could we order mains once the poppadoms arrived . Another gentleman said no very abruptly we are too busy order now . Again we didn’t say anything but we were taken aback but remained calm and polite unlike the gentleman . The food took nearly an hour to arrive and then as we were eating , the same gentleman lent across my elderly father in law across his face and chest whilst he was eating his food and proceeded to remove his cutlery , of which he was actually using and did the same to my mother in law. I was so amazed by this rude and disrespectful behaviour . He tried to remove my husbands to which my husband said “ no. Please leave my cutlery alone” . The gentleman bent right down beside my husband and kept trying to take away other things whilst he was eating . When my husband politely said no again . He then stood and proceeded to stare at us until we had finished our meals . He never once asked , are you finished using this cutlery or can I clear it away for you . It was just rude . They then forgot my husbands drink but by that time we had just given up . Our evening was spoilt by one rude gentleman and not even being acknowledged when we had actually booked . Really disappointed especially when I justified the 2nd visit poor service after such a first great meal . Get rid of your rude staff . Double check your bookings . Don’t prioritise regulars when you are talking to other people ....

Went there for dinner at 7:30 on a Saturday night and it was full so would highly recommend booking. We had the onion badji, pickle tray, poppadoms, chicken balti and the chicken Yash special. Food was great and would highly recommend it if you are looking for a good Indian curry.

The only downfall was the service, it was busy but that isn't an excuse for the lack of service and "professionalism". We had to order drinks twice (glass of wine and a cider), after 20 mins they said they didn't have cider so I changed to a coke. Took another 10 mins for the 2 drinks to come out.

Throughout the meal the staff would be chatting and laughing amongst themselves within the dining area, sometimes having a glass of soft drink into hands and at times eating a mouthful of food. So the level of attentiveness from the staff was lacking as I felt like I was interrupting their night out.

Come for the food but don't have any expectations on the service and you won't be...

Lovely food , good friendly helpful non pushy service. NB Atmosphere only got 3 stars as it was empty early in the evening,for no other reason . Normally (later) it's always at least ¾full. It's very popular. Good free outside parking in a well illuminated off road car park. All the classics of Indian cuisine with a few specialities at reasonable prices. Also will amend dishes to your requirements. - ie Saag aloo - not on the menu but will knock it up once requested. At standard side dish price. Good portions,with a decent amount of meat,(if meat is your thang). veg options are available as well. Onion Bhajis are lovely. Well cooked, tasty not greasy. Yash Mixed Starter is also a must try.

Definitely recommended.

Simple decor inside, but clean...
