Visited the restaurant after seeing plenty of good reviews, and having struggled to find a good Indian restaurant in and around Cheltenham, however it was to be a major disappointment.
The service was fairly poor, with them taking a long time to even take our initial drinks orders, then taking a very long time to bring out the table water, and the staff certainly didn't give the impression that they wanted to be working there.
The food was very unimpressive, perhaps the worst I've experienced in an Indian restaurant for a very long time. We ordered 3 different meals, one vegeterian paneer dish was excessively sweet, almost like eating confectionary, and clearly an excessive amount of food colouring added, another was a balti dish, which was very oily and incredible bland, and the only meal that was okay was the Dansak, but it too was very sweet and lacking in the sourlike balance that this dish should offer.
There was even some vegetable stalk that would usually be remove that somehow ended up in one of the dishes, that at first we thought may be a bit of bone or even a cocktail stick. The staff initially handled it by trying to explain away the issue, stating it is from a vegetable, but only accepted it is not meant to be served after we pointed this out.
Overall, a very poor experience, and I am wondering how it receives so many positive reviews, have others not experienced any other restaurants, or is this the best Cheltenham has to offer? Nonetheless, we will not be returning, and would recommend others to look...
Read moreWe came from all over the country for a friend's re-union that was central to us all. Upon arrival, the waiter seemed a bit confused when I asked for a Schweppes Lemonade and told me that I just wanted "Lemonade" and then he laughed at me. What a wonderful start I thought, they really know how to make customers feel special.
I ordered a Vegetable Roll and the Vegetable Thali. I was expecting the roll to be crispy and you know spicy. Its was amazingly the complete opposite, bland and soggy. (Oh why didn't I complain!).
I feared the worst for my Thali of vegetable curries. The saag was wilted spinach (an observation from across the table), the rice was cold, undercooked or just dry and the everything else was completely bland and not very warm. Complete rubbish! And I don't even want to think about how much this Thali cost. I complained about the spinach and the waiter said 'Oh, sorry'. I REALLY wish I'd asked for manager. Some of the others in the group left their meals too. If this was a good restaurant once, then they have certainly lost their way. If you know decent curry,...
Read moreWe’ve been getting takeaway from here for 10 years and drive 20 minutes to collect which says a lot about how good it is.
The menu is traditional tandoori with a few interesting items like naga chicken thrown in.
The food is always tasty and well cooked. Very occasionally the odd dish might be a touch oily or lacking in seasoning.
At weekends it’s almost always full of diners, so if you’re looking for a quality, traditional tandoori restaurant owned by people who clearly care then you can’t go wrong with Eurasia.
Parking can be a touch tricky locally, but there are a few residential streets nearby where you should be able to...
