Very Unhappy having been with my Family. We ordered Starters being chicken tikka which was the only dish we enjoyed. We also ordered chicken loli pop which was very poor in taste and not to Standard. We also ordered 3 popadoms and a tray of dips which we had to pay £2.50 extra for rip off! Our drinks arrived first being two mango lassi which was not sweet enough and one fresh passionfruit which was very much watered down & did not taste like passionfruit. We ordered our main dish of three one being tikka paneer which my partner ordered & said was not to standard lacking taste. My daughter ordered a butter chicken which had very little chicken pieces and was not upto standard, my daughter loves her food but on this occasion was not in favour of her butter chicken saying it was poor in taste and very little boneless chicken. I ordered a lamb main course dish similar to lamb karai which was oily and had very mingy pieces of lamb & so much sauce. I was very displeased & unhappy with the overall experience. I asked for water and when I asked the waiter whether it was filtered water he replied saying that it was trent water from the tap and that any filtered or bottle water would be charged extra. The waiter on complaining about the little chicken & lamb in our main dish replied that due to the high cost of everything they only serve the given amount when they happily charged me in full £10.50 for each main course. Honestly food aid given to the poor or in war torn countries receive more in portions whereas I felt we having paid £75 for a evening dinner were left feeling worse than a beggar and cheated of our money. I found this restaurant to be very much like a local looking place with a mind for profits more than delivering quality tasteful food. The waiter on complaining the portions said that the portions reflected the high rising cost of merchandise all around to include the running costs of the restaurant. How pathetic an answer and happily charging us £75 for a Evening Meal for Three. I will definitely never visit this placin & would not recommend it to any other person. A Very Bad...

Read moreWorst customer service I’ve experienced in Leicester!!!
Communicate with your customers verbally or put at sign upon entry that you only accept cash!!!! It’s not hard!
We arrived just before closing time and appreciated that they was happy to accommodate us providing we wouldn’t be a long time in which we agreed to as we were hungry and simply just wanted to eat and be in our way. We decided our order quickly, staff were being consistently pushy throughout our meal time telling us we have to be quick numerous times whilst we were clearly eating, mopping the floor with very strong bleach which was very unpleasant while we was eating.
We all enjoyed our food very much and would have liked to return however when asking for the bill they then tell us rudely cash only. Neither of us had cash nor card to go and walk to the cash machine and come back like they request all their guests to do, then they hand us a piece paper with bank details and tell us we have to bank transfer which we are completely not happy to do as this is not a safe option for ourselves nor are we required to have to do that form of payment.
We was more than happy to settle our bill via card as we enjoyed our food but there is no sign upon entry telling guest cash only, we engaged with numerous staff and all failed to notify us prior to ordering and eating that they only accept cash. They have one small notice across the restaurant on a table, we sat near to the door in the corner being rushed the entire time and they blame us for not seeing the small notice they have for cash only.
They trick the customers to come in, order and eat not knowing it’s cash only for obvious reasons, avoiding taxes to leave the customer with no other choice but to go get cash to settle their bill as you’ve already consumed the food.
If we had known it was cash only we wouldn’t have stayed and eaten here. Saving us and...
