Disappointing Saturday Evening meal!. Not been in a very long time however i have had a couple of takeaways. 3- 4 medium sized table in on a Saturday evening. The prices have increased around 30 - 50% since my last visit. I can justify this with current food prices ext being very high as I work in the catering industry myself. Their was no onion chutney or lime pickle with the papadums that was a shame and the mint yogurt was an un appetising nuclear waste green. Not sure why they needed to add so much food colouring. Food started to arrive at the table before we had even received any plates. Would have been nice to have the metal warming plates on the table as the food went cold quickly, despite being sat directly next to the warming plate rack sat on the end of the bar. Chicken jalfrazi was a let down with only 6 pieces of chicken and practically raw peppers and onions instead of being cooked in the tandoor for a charred taste i look for in a good jalfrezi. Saag Paneer (now £5.95 ) for a side portion!!! Had only three cubes of paneer and was very tight on the spinach. Most of the dish was a cream sauce!. Pashwari Naan, served cut into four and served in a small dish, which i thought was a bit weird was very tight on the sweetened desiccated coconut filling and could do with a little more melted ghee to take away the dryness. On the plus side the restaurant was warm and the staff were friendly and attentive. To me it feels like they are trying to cut their costs however by reducing portion sizes and increasing prices is not the way to go to keep a regular client...
Read moreI’ve waited until we have eaten here several times before leaving a review, just in case standards slipped! They haven’t!!! This really is a great restaurant, with a lovely atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Best of all is the quality of the food. Over a number of visits, as a couple and with friends and family, the food has been outstanding every time. I don’t recall anyone being less than very impressed with their meal. Sometimes we’ve had a Vegan in our party and the chef can, and has, created vegan versions of the vegetarian dishes on offer. I can thoroughly recommend the Coco Masala in Lane End to all lovers of...
Read moreJust back from a delicious dinner at Coco Masala. We thought we would try this newly opened venue and Wow! We were not disappointed! Wednesday night is banquet night. You can order a starter, main, side dish and a rice or bread for £16.95. Portion sizes are generous and the flavours are incredible! So very tasty. Staff were friendly and the boss was very knowledgeable and happy to chat about food. My friend asked for a couple of things that were off menu, and chef was happy to oblige. All in all a fab evening enjoying delicious food. We will be recommending you to all who will listen, and cannot wait...
