The Rose — Restaurant in Elmbridge

This is mediocre food at best. Absolutely awful, waste of money. We had three dishes and some poppadoms. The two vegetable dishes were made with blackened potatoes, which look like they were salvaged from some other dish. The Gobi Aloo was smelling rancid and the potatoes also were blackened. Achari chicken consisted of Mango chutney mixed with chicken, not Achar which is pickle. The poppadoms were broken in shards, some of which were ok, seemingly fresh and some incredibly stale. It was obvious that they had just provided us with left over pieces. We politely called to explain our grievances, but received appalling service; they simply were not interested in anything...

We've been going to The Rose on and off for the last 20 years or so and our latest visit was the most disappointing in all of that time. It wasn't terrible as such in that some of the food was ok but some was not, the chana and achar chicken too salty and too sweet, and my wife's main dish of vegetable jalfrezi consisted pretty much only of cabbage and onions. It was the same with the service in that the staff didn't seem to have any interest at all, apart from one young lady who was very friendly. It's been OK in the past so hopefully we just caught them on...

Recently went here for my birthday meal and I wish we never did. The staff are so beyond rude. We arrived at 7PM (it was a booked table) and were told we needed to be done by 8.30 as they had another table at this time. We were given probably 5 minutes to look at our menu before being told ' you have to order now or you wont have time to eat'. The waiter was constantly over our shoulders to see if we had finished. We will never be going here again, we have spoke to many other people who have been here and said the exact same thing! Don't...
