Methi — Restaurant in London

Really wanted to like this place, but there were too many things off about the vegetarian dishes we ordered for delivery.

Generally a food as fuel experience.

All things being equal - I...

The ordering process felt rushed but the same can't be said for the food which took a fair while to come out. The food itself was good, each dish was hot and well seasoned. On leaving the managers attempt at humour fell hollow on what was an otherwise uncomfortable dining experience.

TLDR: food good,...
