Purple Ivy Indian Restaurant & Take Away — Restaurant in England

DISRESPECTFUL! I was surrounded by three staff members and the owner trying to fix a very simple problem of throwing my food away😅 if they would of said “sorry for the mistake” I would’ve been fine but they turned it into a very unpleasant atmosphere.

I dined here recently with my girlfriend and after my meal we asked to take food away in containers they gave my girlfriends food but they threw my food away then called me a liar😅 then admitted what he did bluntly after🙄

I am a very quiet person who was only asking what happened to my food they all stood there looking at me which made me feel uncomfortable, the server always changed his answer first it was “this is all your food” then “you only had a little bit of food” then he said to me “Your lucky because we normal charge extra for takeaway” (RUDE)

I don’t like being called a liar, I had the whole establishment looking at me confused and made me feel stupid for their mistake.

I ended up saying just give me the bill because they couldn’t apologise or admit to any mistakes and I’ve got better things to do than wait for people that don’t know how to say sorry🤦‍♂️ I would’ve been there all day honestly the food is amazing but your staff need better training and to be more polite if...

Dining here was truly... an experience. The kind one tells stories about, preferably over a much better meal elsewhere.

Questions about the menu to the waitress were met with a charming blend of blank stares and confident cluelessness. Fortunately, there was the Madam Manageress — you know, the one who clearly runs the circus — who graciously swooped in after our third failed attempt to get a straight answer.

The mango chicken - A bold, avant-garde interpretation of dinner-as-dessert. I'd say it was a celebration of sugar at its purest, most overwhelming form. A real treat for anyone who’s ever wished their curry came with a side of insulin.

And then there is this bearded older man who appears to be a waiter, or perhaps a kitchen-hand, or possibly just wandered in one day and stayed. He hovers over you on a mission to snatch your plate the second you set your fork down. Blink, and your half-eaten plate disappears.

If you're looking for an unforgettable evening filled with misplaced flavours, and a comically poor service this place...

We had walked past here a few times whilst visiting family and it always looked popular, so we decided to pay it a visit. We booked a table for 3 people on a Friday evening and good job we did as there were only a couple of tables free. OK it is quite a small place, so its best to book as it gets full. There is a bar when you walk in where people waiting for their takeaways can sit and have a cheeky beer. We had a nice table next to the window albeit it was quite cramped. I was almost sitting on the lady's lap on the next table. Like I said, it's a really small restaurant. The service is ok, they don't pester you for an order which we like, however we had to keep trying to gain a waiter's attention. We ordered 4 drinks, 6 poppadoms, 2 chicken kormas, 1 tandoori chicken, 2 rice, 2 desserts, 1 coffee. Total bill was £77 for 3 of us. It's quite good value. The food is excellent. The service is a bit slow. We will definitely go back for...
