Deedar Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Bromsgrove

It’s with a heavy heart that I write this. I’ve been using Deedar for many years but I won’t be going back. I went with a group of friends on a Friday evening, after a funeral. Staff grudgingly found us a table and took the order. When the food arrived, the order was wrong. The food itself was mediocre and within minutes of the food arriving, the waiter came over to say that the restaurant was closing. We felt rushed out of the door. On the way out, I politely spoke to the manager to explain that our experience hadn’t been that great. The guy flew into a rage - I turned to see the waiters standing in a menacing group staring at me. The manager was cross because he felt it was perfectly reasonable to close the restaurant at 10pm, despite advertising that it was 11pm. The attitude of the manager was totally unacceptable.

I eat more curry's than I should across the UK. Since the refit a couple of years ago the Deedar know has a real cosmopolitan feel to it. The bar is now smaller and away from most of the tables.

There is a very well stocked off license next door and a Tesco a couple of doors up from that so you can buy your drinks when you arrive or even pop out to buy more mid meal if you need to. Very highly recommended. One of my favourite...

Women, beware. If you are a women who likes spice, avoid this place. Yes, you're reading this correctly and it's 2023. I ordered off the special menu, a curry that stated it was spicy. The waiter refused to accept my order, saying "you won't like that". I reiterated, that I love spicy food and that I'd love to order this special curry. Still, the waiter refused to accept my request, stating "it's too spicy for you". Honestly, this happened. After several attempts to order what I wanted (?!), I compromised by ordering a naga curry (and, I didn't want to make more of scene as it was my mother's birthday). And, guess what? Yep. When the naga arrived, it was far too mild for my palete.
