I've been to the Soaltee a couple of times in the last two weeks. I didn't dine in but I collected my takeaways from the restaurant. Firstly, I should say that the restaurant is busy and all the diners looked really happy. The owner and staff were very friendly and professional, but not creepy as is sometimes the case.
On the first occasion, I'd ordered the Samundari Parikar seafood curry and I was disappointed. It was quite expensive, but the only sealife that I could find were prawns - a good portion of prawns but I'm not a fan and it wasn't what I was expecting. I'd had an excellent fish curry elsewhere that week and I thought that perhaps I'd just ordered the wrong dish. My wife had a Chicken Korma, rice and sag paneer that was fine.
Last night they were busy again. I'd ordered chicken tikka, rices and sag paneer for two. We really enjoyed our food, it was excellent and I'm really looking forward to coming back next week. Shout out to the lady who took my cash. I gave her £60 instead of £30 and she quickly told me I'd messed up and gave me my money back. Thank...

Read moreThis is the second time we have visited for a meal here, and I have to say, quality has started to drop. The first time we ate here it was amazing on quality, quantity and flavour, but alas even though we said on that first night, please don’t change any of these things it is clear this is not the 5 star place it once was.
Main problems were dry chicken breast that seemed like it was cooked the day before being sliced and simply added to the sauce, hardly any in there. Lamb quality not as good, tougher meat. This should not happen, I know it’s making more profit for the resturant but it should be lovely chunky pieces of juicy chicken cooked in your curry not added after.
We also had a real problem with the lack of dimension to any of the dishes, all spices not just chilli were missing. It was bland not just mild, where as before it had great depth of spice upon spice...
