We ordered two different dishes what we received was rather disappointing. Both dishes had the SAME overwhelming SWEET goop the meat was swimming in. My guess many of the dishes are prepared from a small handful of stock sauces. The meat was okay however overcooked. Certainly not (slow) cooked in the sauce it came in. The only difference was the lamb dish had lychees in it. Cooked with fresh fruit? Fresh out of a can perhaps! Our chicken dish was supposed to be covered in crushed cashews. If this was the case they were so obliterated it melded with the rest of the goop. My best description of the goop is a sweet butternut soup. The samosas tasted like they were bought in frozen from a wholesaler not tasty. “Authentic Indian” I wonder! You could get a better tasting meal from a supermarket. Our delivery contained one little plastic packet of salad and one tub of green stuff. Both we were not sure what to do with this. Or what was supposed to go together.
Will we order again? Well we will try the other two curry houses in same street first. We only hope that it is not...
Read moreLast four times we’ve ordered from here it’s been bad, used to be excellent but I don’t know if they have changed the chefs or the ingredients but the only reason we have kept ordering for so long is because my dad likes the curry dishes (I can’t eat them because they are so oily they give me a bad stomach) and the onion bahjees but tonight even they were all soft. My chicken shaslick was like leather tonight and the mango chutney was like water, food was hot so it can only be bad ingredients or badly cooked. It takes an hour and half to get delivered to st Mary’s island and costs over £30 but I struggled with the shaslick and only managed to eat 2 small bits! My dad is 70 and will eat anything so I said that’s it for me I’m not ordering from them again to throw mine in the bin, if he wants to order for himself he can but never again for me. Really is a shame because it used...
Read moreHave always enjoyed eating here, maybe once a month. Was always an affordable treat in my local village.
Service has always been exemplary and quality of food has been top notch. That hasn't changed.
However, I've just found the price has now crept up considerably based on previous, similar visits. I realise it takes a lot of money to keep a restaurant open with their rent and overheads, wages etc.
But we paid just over £75 for two of us on Saturday night. We did each have a starter and a main with a naan bread each, as well as a bottle of Cobra each. We would usually pay around £50.
We were charged extra for poppadoms and chutneys (I think about £5 for two)
Maybe I'm just old school, but poppadoms (and prawn crackers in a Chinese restaurant) just come as part of your meal.
It's a treat to eat out, but next time I'll just get a takeaway and...
