Rozis Curry House — Restaurant in England

We went into Rozis on a whim (literally flipped a coin between this and a nearby pub); unfortunately, fate really steered us wrong here.

We should have cut our losses when the man at the counter seemed shocked that we wanted to eat in rather than take away. He reluctantly led us upstairs to a dimly lit dining room where we were the only guests. We ordered food and drinks; there was no drinks menu, but they had various soft drinks (which turned out to be poured into tiny glasses half-flat from bottles in a mini fridge). The tablecloths were stained and there was some random tinfoil on the table next to us, and the man who led us up and who seemed to be the sole front of house staff put on what appeared to be a badly recorded cassette mix tape of Indian music.

At this point, we just hoped the food might be nice enough to overcome the questionable atmosphere. Things started promising with some really delicious pickle and popadoms, but the curries were just okay and the lemon rice was bitter with too much rind. We finished our meal (I left half my curry) and got out of there as quickly as we could.

All in all, it was a pretty unpleasant experience. Honestly, they're probably quite decent as a takeaway, but if they don't want to run a sit-down restaurant, why...

Do not judge this place by internal appearance - the food is fantastic. We are staying in a cottage in the village, and had a copy of the takeaway menu to hand - The first thing I noticed was it wasn't a bog standard "Indian Take Away Menu" - Lots of dishes on there that I hadn't come across before, and options a plenty. We phoned for a take away pretty last minute on a Saturday Evening at 7.30, but got a collection slot for 8.20 which wasn't too a long a wait considering. After a quick pint in the Devonshire across the street, we wandered over at 8.15 and patiently waited for our order to be ready. Clearly it was being made pretty much fresh to order, and there wasn't a hint of reheated or microwaving. Collected our order, got it back to the cottage and I can say everything was fantastic - Three different curries all with varying flavours and spice pallets, home made onion bhajis were excellent, and the Naan light and fluffy. In terms of value for money, we spent just £44.70 to feed three of us until we were utterly stuffed! Hats off to Rozis - we may even be back...

I'll start with the positives, the staff is really nice and friendly, the place is cosy and clean. Now the negative, the place is very small and you're seated on top of other customers. The samosa looked and tasted like frozen ones from an Asian supermarket, the curries were small and very oily and salty, not much spice in them, the chips were French fries, which was disappointing and they weren't fresh also a tiny portion, the rice was well cooked but again, a small portion, we couldn't have chapatti or naan as they had milk and butter in them, which leads me to believe they're not fresh, as chapatis are made from water and flour, and if made from fresh, you can adapt to the customers' requirements. When I asked the staff about things being vegan, the staff member struggled to understand allergies and dietary needs. Would I go back, no, was the food a good experience not really. If you're hungry and you want a curry, go...
