K5 Lounge — Restaurant in London

Food was OK, we had the mixed grill for starters and chicken madras, Keema Nan for mains amongst other dishes, our main concern was the general friendliness of the staff towards my family and I.

I could see other guests being treated very differently to us, they were being very attentive and friendly, whilst we were just left to our own devices, we had to make a lot of friendly hand gestures to even get the waiters attention.

Maybe the staff and restaurant were not used to seeing Asians visit frequently and in turn didn't know how to serve and behave around them.

Our visit was planned as we booked a table in good time, however whilst we were there, the whole visit was rushed, the odd occasion when the staff came to our table, dishes and other food containers were cleared away while we were still dining, on one occasion I had to tell the waiter to leave one of the dishes as I was still eating from there.

As a result I chose not to pay the service charge as it wasn't deserving.

In summary the food was okay but think twice to visit if you're Asian, you 'may' get a different experience to that of...

Me and my family decided to venture into eating out yesterday night. Went past K5 Lounge and it was completely empty (should have got the cue)

Anyways the council car park was right next to it, so we decided to try it. A mistake which we later regretted.

A few observations: The starters are not meant to be eaten, but just to smell as the qualtity is not adequate for anyone over the age of 3. Chicken Tikka was 2 small 1.5 cm cube pieces. You don't need to be a Mathematician to guess the size. Lamb Chops were uncooked. Credit where due - Paneer Tikka Masala plate had 4 pieces and well cooked (This is the only one of the 3 good things at this place)

Main course was a disaster Don't order Lamb Balti as you might as well pick up uncooked lamb and chew on it. Not something that bothered them. We left it. Food is very bland, in spite we asking for it to be extra spicy. Butter Naan was very good (like I said only 3 things good here)

The staff were very courteous, so maybe the chef is the only one that needs a sacking or re-training.

Needless to say, we won't go...

NO TASTE CARD! So here is my first ever review. I told the person on the phone I am coming with my 3 year old son for the 2 for 1 offer he said fine and and took my order over the phone to eat in so by the time i get there the food is ready. He informed his manager for some reason. When I get there he said his manager has now gone home and said I can't get that offer because my son is under the age of 14. But it's ok my son wasn't too hungry which allowed me time to go to our local place instead. But I have been here once before the service is ok the naan bread is really good, lamb tikka was a very small portion and not properly cooked lamb madras as main was bland and again very small portion so maybe I can understand there offer of by 1 get one free as that most likely makes up for a full portion. The fact I was told it's ok and come is what annoyed me. Good thing my phone records all calls voluntarily so maybe it's something I would like to send over to the manager so he understands where this all went wrong but on a re not I won't be...
