Went into the restaurant at 17.30hrs. The look on their faces was " why are you eating at this time and inconveniencing our conversation ?!" sitting down to eat. Anyway we got asked if we wanted poppodoms. We said yes. When we got them they were about 3 days old. They bent into a u shape. Asked the waiter to send them back. He pushed his finger into one of them and it didn't break. The look on his face said it all, shaking his head as he knew it wasn't fresh. Anyway made the order. The same Indian waiter started to smirk and pull funny faces at the other waiters. Strange but true. At this point we didn't want to eat in the restaurant and asked for us to take away. (Before it came mind). The bill came to 45 quid. Paid it, took it home to eat and there was little to no meat, bland, tough, cold more lentils you can shake a cat at and the naan bread was bloody burnt and raw in the middle. The main was made with th exact cut up chicken as sour little mans starter of garlic chicken -, Sure to say, waste of money and I will never ever be eating or getting a takeaway there ever again.. amazing to think Thr base here most probably gives th n a shed load of business but they don't mind fkg soldiers over as most probably turn up after bad time pissed up and not caring what they eat. I would boycott going there for ANY MILITARY off Kendrew....
Read moreA little conflicted on this one. I eat at a fair few Indian restaurants and cook almost exclusively Indian food. We all have our favourite dishes and different restaurants have a different version. My tandoori king prawn jalfrezi wasn't bad. More oily than I'd like, mostly onion and only a few prawns for £10.50 plus rice. 7/10. My wife ordered a mix of starters which were mostly deep fried and a bit luke warm and overly greasy which made her a bit unwell. I tried the chicken pakora and it was dry chicken and very geasy batter. Shame as the staff were really nice. There were only 3 tables on a Monday night but service was rather slow, although they did apologise. Overall not terrible but could be so much better...
Read moreJust endured one of the most disappointing take away meals I've ever eaten. After decanting a good centimetre of oil from the top of my chicken balti I uncovered an insipid sauce that was so tasteless it could only have been from a jar and chicken that I suspect was precooked from a bag and just stirred in. I'm not sure if the chef has actually ever eaten paneer or knows what it is but I can assure him/her that it shouldn't have the texture of stringy melted cheese within any indian dish. If you enjoy indian food please can I advise you in the strongest possible terms to avoid this place as I actually believe it is a massive insult to all indian cuisine. And your tastebuds. They...
