Taas Restaurant — Restaurant in England

Nice food---my lamb was a little chewy but my wife's dumplings were excellent. Waiter wasn't the most polite at first, but fine.

We have a TasteCard giving 2 for 1 meals. When the bill came, the sides were charged in full. They clearly thought this was the case as their had a print out (from their website?) saying what was excluded. However on TasteCard website, they have Terms and Conditions giving exemptions, but no mention of sides.

Waiter then was pretty rude initially refusing to reduce. Then when we showed Ts & Cs on TasteCard app, manhandled our phone to look. Not cool at the best of times. Very bad during an international pandemic when he wasn't wearing gloves! Eventually conceded and brought new bill. Still 50p too expensive, but we let that slide.

Also saw him take card machine with other customer's card in it away from the customer, much to her dismay, who told him that he mustn't do that.

We realised after leaving that they didn't collect any details for NHS Track & Trace and had no system for doing do---appeared that no-one was asked.

In summary, good food but rule breaking, a bit rude and try to get away with over charging. Without the issues, would've been 4*s---just...

As this place is on tastecard, I visited with a couple of friends for tea. It’s a small restaurant, so I would book a table to be sure.

Two of us went for Chicken Tikka Massala. I would have appreciated another couple of pieces of chicken, but the thick, creamy sauce had a lovely rich, mild taste and there was plenty for dipping my garlic Naan into (we got a Naan each; they came in quartered slices). The server offered to make one of the dishes vegan for our other friend. We shared two portions of Pilau rice between us.

I’d give top marks for service without a doubt. The staff were smiley, chatty and very accommodating. The music being played in the restaurant was a little…odd. At one point it sounded like elevator music and kind of distracted us from our dining experience.

The soft drinks are inexpensive, and since the tastecard essentially got us one free meal, we each paid about £13.00 overall, which is very good value.

I would...

Wow! One of the very best Indian/Nepalese meals I've ever eaten. Both my wife and I were blown away by the food. We started with the obligatory poppadoms and chutney - look out for the tomato chutney which is gorgeous - and some spring rolls which were nothing special really (and a bit odd on a Nepalese/Indian menu to be honest). For our main courses I had a chicken Biryani which was full of chicken, spiced to my liking (1-10...I had a 7 and that was just right) with a curry sauce filled with lovely vegetables. This was served with a pot of yoghurt to cool down the mouth but which just made it even more delicious. My wife had the chicken Gurkha, a Nepalese curry. She raved about all the different flavours she was tasting. She doesn't really do spicy and it came just right. Couple that with a bottle of Everest Gold beer it truly was one of the very best meals of this type of cuisine I've ever eaten. (The service was excellent - the one man serving was on...
