I will start with the positives as there are more positives than negatives - food, apart from one dish (which is the big negative), everything else & ALL (Inc said dish) was DELICIOUS - like really tasty. Portions for chutney tray & starters felt a little small, but in the current climate - it's fine, because the quality was superb, rather pay extra for quality than the amount. ALL of the staff were friendly & nice people, although part of the negative - apart from the two most senior members of staff, the others seemed totally confused by simple questions of portion sizes & just not fully listening in all honesty. The actual establishment was nice.
Time for the big negative - one person ordered the Lamb Handi - a lamb chop & roast potato dish, what was served up was basically lamb chops in a very tasty sauce granted...no potato, we complained & basically chucked a portion of a Potato Curry...then the excuse was "the chefs don't make it very often" IT'S LITERALLY THE FIRST DISH UNDER CHEF'S SPECIALS!!! & NINETEEN POUNDS. £19!!!. They did remove it from the bill, which again was good, but that is extremely poor to not even have the basic concepts of a dish, never mind the most expensive dish!. However, as tasty as the food was (not the best either, if it was the best thing ever it could be justified) & I can appreciate we are just in Cheshire, but I'm not sure how any of the curries justified £14.50/£15. Service felt rushed & pushy too. We got the hunch, they are used up to local folk a bit drunk (which considering what we saw locally, kinda justified! 😅😁) coming in & aslong as it's good & ballpark, it's fine.
This place has a good reputation in the local area & I think this is one of the last good ones we've done now as a group or individually, while the food is very tasty, tonight I've seen practices I've never seen before & not...
Read moreCame for a meal as a party of 5 persons. Was really impressed. We started with poppadums which were crispy and obviously fresh (no chewyness). Then we had a variety of different starters including two that had vegetarian options. Onion bahajis were very, not greasy at all like some you can get. Lovely presentation with a dipping sauce, Salmon tikka starter delicious. Prawn on puree excellent! After ordered 5 mains. All were beautifully presented with a range of garnishes. Naan breads were very good. Not tough or rubbery as can sometimes happen in other places! All in all an excellent set of meals. The staff were very polite and attentive... but you didn't rushed. We felt the bill (including drinks) was good and fair considering the quality and presentation of all the food. One member of our party said it was the best she had ever had! Would definitely recommend and we will definitely return for another family...
Read moreUpdate: visited again on the 25th Feb. Portion sizes on the chicken chat were much less. And the lamb starter lacked spice and much meat (not worth the £8). There was again lots of meat in the curries, and the naan bread and mushroom and pilau rice were really good. Excellent food and brilliant staff. We were booked in at 19:30 on a Saturday and were seated quickly. Staff were very quick to come over and take our drinks order - Cobra and a strawberry mojito. They were quick again to take our food order and understanding when we said that we needed a minute to finish deciding. Chicken chat for starter was brilliant with lots of filling. We ordered 2 curry's, a rice, a naan bread and chips which was enough for 3 people. There was plenty of meat in each of the curries, and they were very tasty. I would not order the chips again but overall...
