Usually I don't write bad reviews, but this time there were just too many factors that make me... First of all the "restaurant" itself seems to be put in a unrenovated multi-use building/store-room, but this might at first be funny. the tables were covered with ripped plastic foil. But we were hungry, ordered the specialty of the house (devil chicken) and a pizza and 2 water. The latter were drunk from the bottle, as none of the 4 glasses provided was clean. Water stains, fingerprints, residue of cola or so inside and outside. Also the plates all had residue of old food, some could be removed with the fingers. The silverware was offered in paper napkins, which hat been used before. Food and hair was sticking to them. I will not discuss the pizza, as it was not an Italian restaurant, but both my kids felt sick afterwards (we were really hungry, so they ate part of it without using the fork etc. until we decided to not finish it). The chicken was hard as rock on the outside, it literally broke apart, the inside was dry, overcooked. We wanted to pay and leave without eating up, so I was looking for the waitress, but we were left alone in the restaurant. After some calling the man from the newspaper shop below came upstairs, obviously the cook/owner. I asked him really friendly to come to the table and showed him the dirty napkins and the food. He answered chicken needs to be well done. I answered yes, but not this way and put a finger on one piece which broke apart. He suddenly became very aggressive (I was really calm an nice) and told us to leave, we should not pay. No word of apology for the dirty stuff. "This is the way we cook here!" (probably necessary to sterilize it?!) We all were not feeling well. In fact this is a case for a hygiene inspection. My concern was not only about the food, but everything else. This was the worst restaurant experience I had in my life. I go to restaurants all over the world all my life and as a veterinarian I am a trained food inspector. I also don't want ton harm businesses, so I only review the good ones. But in this case I felt assaulted by this dirt trap and want to warn others. I am also curious for the answer if there is one. Not charging me showed that he knew I was right and did not prevent the review. Clean up the place! 🤮
P.S.: We did not eat the food, I stopped after a few forks. It was not edible. I would have liked to support a weird place like this, but not if they are trying to harm us with what they serve. I would have paid the bill, anyways. The owner though did not want to see what I was showing him and threw us out ver harshly. Before we went in the restaurant we were in the newspaper store below. There I bought 10 stickers, which were 1 Pound each. I asked if there is a discount if I take more, but he refused and I just paid what he wanted. Funny, that he tries to mock me for having money issues while he is. The stickers were funny, everything else in this whole building not. I hope they started...
Read moreDecided to give this a go based on Google reviews. Initial impressions of a quirky, unique place are soon replaced by the realisation that it is a soulless box with no imagination (or money) lavished on it. Fish cutlets for starters were... ok. Prawn curry was tasty but, with £3.50 extra for a portion of boiled rice, turned out to be poor value. The bottled beer was almost flat, which suggests it was old or the glass wasn't properly clean, and the coffee was disgustingly tasteless and one sip was one sip too much. Finally, the service is awful. With a group of three being the only other table, there is no excuse for the absence of service. Then, when I queried an item on the bill, there was no concern or care whatsoever. Why do people like this run 'restaurants'? They clearly have zero interest in their...
Read moreI asked for hot chocolate & it arrived in a cracked & chipped mug. There were only 3 of us & another 2 in the cafe, but the service was poor. It took about 15 minutes before we gave our order & then another 20 minutes for our food to arrive. Fair enough if the food was freshly prepared, but I heard the microwave go ping 4 or 5 times. I think they make a big batch of curry sauce & then freeze it in individual portions. Dad & John had breakfasts (which u couldn't smell cooking) & I had the prawn curry. The prawns were overcooked. The curry was different from an Indian curry. John tasted it & liked it as there was a lot of sauce in the curry. Dad & John's tea was cold. There were 4 glasses on the table & 1 was filthy. I ordered a coconut roti & the roti I received had no...
