Indian Brasserie — Restaurant in England

I am giving this a 1 ☆ review because of how expensive it was or a bill was added up incorrectly.

We had 1x chicken vindaloo £7.35 1 x lamb madras £7.30 2 x garlic fried rice £7.30 3 x chips £8.40 1x garlic Naan £3.05 1x Peshwari Naan £3.45 2x chapatti £3.50 1x curry sauce £3.15 6x poppadoms £4.80 4 x chutneys £3.20 3 x pints of Coke ??? 1x ½ of Coke ??? 1x Pistachio Kulfi ???

This came to £73.60 we don't understand why it would come to so much !!! The above indian minus the poppadoms, chutney and cokes cost us £29.90 for the exact same meal in Earls Barton. So we were shocked to see how much it came to at the Indian Brasserie !!!

So this is our review In Scotland when they ask if you want any poppadoms they don't normally charge you for these as these normally come free with every takeaway ( with the chutneys) they normally just throw these in your takeaway for free, so when they asked us if we wanted any poppadoms we asked for two each, this Is customary whilst the chef is cooking your meal an appetiser before the starters and main course come out, we ordered our food straight away, we written it all down so it would be easier for them to understand us as a lot of people don't understand our fast paced Scottish accent, we said that our son would like curry sauce and chips ( the waited then said would you like the curry sauce over his chips so it would be easier) easier meaning he's only 8 years old it would be cleaner too which we agreed to, the chips came out separately to the curry, with our son being Autistic we explained how it was coming out which he was excited about, trying to explain to an autistic kid when it came out differently was a bit harder to explain, the food came out and all looked very presentable upon first inspection, my wifes garlic Naan bread was plain when it came out and not garlic, we said to the waiter and he sorted it out saying we wouldn't be charged for that Naan, when the garlic Naan bread did come out, it was oozing with butter and garlic but the edges were very burnt, we counted the amount of chicken pieces in the vindaloo a measly 4 pieces or 4 ½ so it was mainly sauce and 2 pieces of bombay aloo mixed through the curry. My wife ordered the lamb Madras same again 4 to 4.5 pieces of lamb which was quite fatty. The chips were store bought Steak cut chips in which you buy from Costco etc so nothing fancy. The garlic rice, was tasty full of flavour and large pieces of garlic through out. We came in at 7.40pm and within the hour we were out. We asked to take the remaining food away And walked up to the bar area to pay for our food, I had a bet with my wife I said jokingly it would come to £53, and my wife said £41.... when the waiter said over £73 !!! Our hearts sunk in our stomachs, we travelled to Wolverhampton three weeks ago to Cosmo World Buffet and it was cheaper for the 4 of us to eat there, than it was for 2 adults and one child tonight !!!! I could understand if it was an award winning Indian restaurant but it wasn't, the Indian Brasserie sign outside in chrome was dirty and your first instincts before entering a restaurant is a clean entrance sign and door so alarm bells started to ring before we even entered, in the hour we were there only 2 customers came in which was another alarm bell. The decoration was confusing a mixture of white paint and looked like a border of Kitchen worktop as a one foot border through out the restaurant, we have the same kitchen worktops as the border in our kitchen. Now for star ratings Cleanliness ☆☆ Friendliness ☆☆☆ Quality of food ☆☆ Price of food ☆ Presentation of food ☆☆☆☆ A miserable 12 out of 25 rating.

Future improvements!!!

Show the person the bill instead of saying that will be £73 when we added it up when we came home and it was less than £73 Customer Friendliness, instead of talking to each other at the bar ( two waiters ) talk to your paying customers, we did ask when our drinks were getting low can we please have refills, my wife had to get up and ask for...

The first time I ordered which was a month ago, the food came and it was not hot and it was not very big order. (SO YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR REPLY NOW PLEASE AS IT MAKES NO SENSE) I would recommended collecting in person to be in with the chance if it being hot. because both times I've ordered it came warm possibly even cold but certainly not hot . The chap who answers the phone couldn't even take my address let alone the food ordered. This was the first occasion we ordered from here. Then On the SECOND time we ordered. We ordered £47 worth of food and they didn't ask if we wanted red or white wine. They gave us red wine, which we don't drink, unfortunately. Also we paid for poppadoms and they didn't tell us that we got free ones or should have received free ones with our order. The food is great but it NEEDED WARMING up again in the oven microwave. The chap who I was talking to couldn't spell Nearside and then it took 5 minutes just to GET to ORDERING the FOOD. On an order THAT WAS ONLY OF MEDIUM size So because of that it meant it was pretty much cold again. (ON MY SECOND TIME ORDERING FROM THEM THAT IS. THE FOOD IS GREAT BUT ONLY JUST WARM). Plus the gentleman from the restaurant on this occasion tried to BULLY me on my doorstep, into giving them a good review, himself and with another member of staff from the restaurant. THEY CAME to my door and aggressively attempted to tell me I had delete my review and tried talking me into giving him and the restaurant a good review whilst telling me that I was out of order for leaving a slightly negative review. HOWEVER I AM ACTUALLY AN ONLINE INFLUENCER ON GOOGLE LOCAL GUIDES. IT WAS AND IS STILL IS a very truthful and experienced review from a KNOWLEDGEABLE LEVEL 7 GOOGLE LOCAL GUIDES REVIEWER. (I only missed posting my first review due to being in California at the Google local Guides, seminar at their...

I came in tonight for a birthday meal. We were offered poppadoms before we got menus so assumed they were complimentary, we were charged £12 for 8 and didn't know until the bill came. My brothers steak was boiled, and somehow crunchy, and the chips were hard in the middle. Mine and my mums meal were quite nice actually, apart from the naan, but the English dishes both my brother and partner got were very very disappointing. For the price we paid we just expected a little bit more. We would have returned just for the Indian food, but the charge of poppadoms that wasn't made known to us has put us...
