La Pondicherry — Restaurant in Rotherham

Not one to leave bad reviews however wanted to express our disappointment as no one actually ever asked us and had to constantly chase to even get anything we wanted. Visited last night for Father’s Day, had a visit a few months ago an thought we’d caught them on an off night but wanted to give them benefit of the doubt and try again but really wish we hadn’t. it wasn’t busy at all but we waited almost an hour before we got our starters because of such slow service. Curries all tasted the same, me and my son had completely different curries one coconut based however the sauces tasted exactly the same and so bland. Bottom of the garlic nann was burnt and tasted burnt so went back a fresh one came back but was rock hard so hard to even get a knife through it. My son’s glass shattered in his hand (must’ve had a crack in it) let a member of staff know, never removed the said glass or offered to help try clear the glass shards up of the table we where eating on to stop him from getting cut which then lead to my older son getting glass in his hand. Never checked on, never asked if we wanted more drinks or desserts. In the end had to chase the bill and left money on the table never acknowledged paying he bill or us on...

Ordered takeaway as our usual place was closed and thought we'd give La Pondicherry a chance as it's fairly local, but won't be doing so again.

We ordered chicken bhuna and chicken tikka Masala, two very different dishes....however when we opened them they were exactly the same dish...except the tikka masala had the expected holes through the meat, but there was no other difference and they were pretty tasteless and nothing like a bhuna or tikka masala we've had before (and we've had lots over the years from many different places). The pilau rice was an off putting brown, instead of the usual yellow or pink you get and tasted bland. They added an extra and unwanted naan to our order and we thought it expensive as a takeaway overall even if the food had turned...

I visited La Pondicherry tonight and must say was very disappointed! I understand they were extremely busy however I feel there should’ve been much better communication between staff members. First of all, we were sat at the table right outside the kitchen (table 17), I was facing the kitchen and saw one of the waiters put both of our curries in the microwave , which put me off from the start! Both of our curries were very tasteless and watery. I found a piece of metal in my curry and we ordered a cheese and garlic naan which had no cheese on. I hate to complain, however after spending £70 for 2 of us it’s not good enough. Unfortunately will not be...
