Had a marvellous meal here this evening. We were greeted warmly and offered a table opposite the bar. The place is pleasantly decorated and looks fresh and clean. Tables have clean bright white table cloths and a cotton napkin in a metal ring, you can see your reflection in the clean cutlery. All the plates given to you are hot. The staff were friendly and attentive and whilst they didn't have bottles of Cobra, they had an alternative called Bangla which we tried and it was excellent.
We had 1 plain and 1 spicy popadom each with pickles and they were both fresh and excellent. We skipped the starters and went straight for mains with some sides. 1 lamb dhansak, 1 chicken tikka dhansak, 1 saag bhaji (spinach), 1 bombay aloo (potatoes), 1 mushroom rice and 2 peshwari naan breads. We shared one large bottle of Bangla between us and just as a taste test, we also shared 1 half pint of Cobra draught. We definitely recommend sticking with the Bangla bottle beer, it had far more body and flavour.
I have been eating curries regularly since 1984, so I like to think that I know a great curry when I've had one. I have to say that this was up there with the best. In fact the lamb dhansak was so delicious, I ordered an extra one to take away! Perfect heat, depth of flavour and the lamb was so tender and tasty. Absolutely marvellous. The saag and bombay aloo were extremely delicious too, as we're the peshwari naans. We ate a little of the mushroom rice and it too was worthy of eating by itself, so as not to mask its flavour. All round one of the best curry house experiences that I have had in my lifetime. A complete and utter unexpected pleasure on my part, since this is the first time I have been back in this restaurant since 2007, when it was Le Spice. The total bill, including drinks and my extra takeaway dhansk was £55. Very reasonable. Hot towels were served once we had finished eating and After Eight mints were served with the bill.
They also do a Banquet night on a Wednesday for £15.95 per person for any starter, any main course, any side dish and rice or a bread included. Which is excellent value.
This restaurant is highly recommended by me. I will be returning and I may even have my 60th birthday party here in a couple of years time.
Thank you for a truly wonderful...
Read moreAbsolute disgrace! I ordered for a delivery which i was told would take 45 minutes. I received an email saying it would be delayed and arrive 1 hour 15 mins after i ordered and i accepted that. The order still had not arrived 2 hours later and no one was answering the phone after calling 20 times. I went down to the restaurant and demanded my food and a refund. The options i were given was for them to cancel my order or to be given my food with £5 off! I refused and demanded a full refund for waiting 2 hours for delivery after not being told and then having to collect myself. I was told that was unreasonable and was not allowed both, customers in the restaurant fully agreed with me as well as another person who had the same problem. I was told to leave after not arguing or raising my voice at all. After a while i agreed to take my food and accept the £5 off, and the manager had already cancelled my order without telling me! I still wanted my food so i payed again with the money off. I got home and i was missing items from my bag. This is the worst experience i’ve had and the poorest customer service ever, i highly recommend not ordering delivery from here or hoping your order isn’t wrong as they will do nothing to...
Read moreMumbai Square - Wednesday 9th November - 19:30
Entrance has a small step and the external and interior door are manual.
Wednesday is banquet night so you get a starter, main and side dish for £15.95 but some dishes in the menu come with an additional cost; not all of us opted for the banquet special but I would definitely recommend it.
Poppadom were brought out, nice, warm and fresh.
Two of the guests had starters but at 20:50 we still didn’t have the main.
I asked the waiter were the food was and he commented that persons had starters and the mains would be brought out when they finished “that’s how we do it here”. I do think they should read the room better as we had finished the starters and were waiting for the mains; if I hadn’t asked I think we would have still been waiting.
Plates were hot as was the food. Food was plentiful and was very nice.
I have been here before and would come again; overall a...
