Chutney's — Restaurant in England

My friend and I went to this restaurant during our visit to Shaftesbury. We dont know the area cuz we live far way from there but this has been the worst experienc fur us. After a beatiful day we had a horrible meal

Our server was a younger indian fellow, who has no idea how to serve or speak.

After we had been seated with our menus for about 2 minutes, he came to our table and said “What do you want” with a rude way

We told him we needed more time, so he came back in another 2 minutes. We knew what we wanted by then, so we just ordered. King prawns, lamb biryani, chicken tikka biryani and some more extras

Our food came cold like was leftover from days before and heated in microwave like on top warm not hot. He did not come back to the table to usk or see how we were doing. Not once. We called him and told for the situation with food he did not care at all and said if dont like it take something else with angry... Not even a sorry or discount. Beside that ask for tip without a service when we asked for the bill. I dont know how people go to this place. Dirty inside, leftover food serve the other day, rude service and managment... I dont recomend this...

Definitely the best Indian restaurant in Shaftesbury. I love Indian (and Sri Lankan) food and having been spoilt by living in Leeds/Bradford and latterly in South London I find the selection of this sub-continent's cuisine in the region to be rather lacking. I'm quite often disappointed to find that dishes in some similar restaurants I could prepare to an equal or higher quality myself, but Chutney's excels in it's range and sheer quality of it's dishes. A bigger selection of vegetarian/vegan dishes would be welcome although I suspect they cater to their clientele rather well. Hence the lack of some seriously hot dishes as well which I would love. One feels they be resting on their laurels a little? This visit the restaurant was particularly busy and was the first time we've had to wait for a table and may have contributed to the poorer than normal service and the resulting four...

As we aren't from this area, it was our first a likely only time eating at Chutney's. The service was great, very friendly and as you would expect, polite. The tables are nicely spaced out. Not sure if they had been changed for Covid reasons or it they were always like this.

The food was lovely and the portions were perfect. As it was just the 2 of us, it's easy to over order when you want a bit of everything. We managed to get what we wanted and only take home a little that was left over.

So in 2021 we had an Indian while we were away. It was very good but came to over £70 This time round and obviously a different restaurant, we had about the same amount of dishes but with the edition of a sweet and it wasn't even £55

Lots of takeaways were being collected and sent out for delivery while we dined. And the restaurant had plenty of...
