Bay Of Bengal — Restaurant in Sheffield

We went here for a family birthday meal with a table of 6 of us. Service started slow and unusually when delivering drink staff felt it appropriate to lean over 2 people to pass drink to the 3rd seat rather than walking 3 foot. Poppadoms arrived and decent quality pickle tray. Starters arrived and a very mixed reception, whilst the bahjis were really nice, crisp and not greasy the vegetable samosas appeared to be straight of the supermarket freezer section and were as authentic as the accents in the 80s hit tv programme Hello hello. After a period of time plates were cleared and new cutlery settings were dished out. Some of the party had rice however most only had nann or chapatti with their mains. As the mains arrived a couple of our party put the serving bowls onto the main plate to make it easier for them to eat as they were only having it with the bread. We were missing a few items and mentioned to the staff. Soon after a person I assume was chef came out as did the food and "Chef" took it upon himself to reach over and move the dishes placed on the main plate off the plates and back onto the table muttering that they do not belong there. To say we were gobsmacked was an understatement. In my nearly 48 years on this planet I have never seen someone being told off for wanting to eat their food how they wanted in a restaurant.

Main dishes were tasty and good portions, onion rice was heavy on onion but other that that enjoyable food.

After a while plates were cleared at which point we unsuccessfully tried on multiple occasions to catch the eye of staff to get the bill.

Eventually I asked for the bill. The retort was I would be better without the bill, at this point I mentioned one of our party was birthday girl (this was mentioned on booking and the restaurant states birthday guest gets a free meal upon proof of birthday id). I was greeted with the response that we should have mentioned that earlier.

Bill arrived and no discount. Again a few agonising minutes trying to get a member of staff to speak to us. Enough was enough and Birthday girl herself went up to the main counter and this was dealt with.

We paid, left and vowed never to return to faulty...

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.…. Don't be fooled by the Tuesday buffet, its a scam, you pay £15 and get a starter and a main course….. That's it, and also know if you order the lamb chops starter they take one of the lamb chops off the plate.… they also water down the yogurt sause, (wow) that's a desperate saving.…. They also charge you a whopping extra £4.50 for any prawn dish which is DAYLIGHT ROBBERY - and the prawn tikka massala was terrible dish, only got served with 6 or so small prawns with it.…. I wouldn't recommend it, its about £15.50 on the menu, there's other dishes on the Al a carte buffet menu for £14.50 so why rob an extra £4.50 off customers…… also note when I orded the prawn dish he did say there was a surcharge but when I asked ( twice ) how much it was he Play and simply ignored me….. I now know why, highlight of the mealsas the popadom until we put the tasteless watery yoghurt on it.…… THERES FAR BETTER CURRY HOUSE TO GO AT BELIEVE ME.…. Oh and the drinks...

Not been here for ages so decided to go for a celebratory meal for our daughter getting engaged. Not sure what the issue was but the staff were just plain rude. The guy who brought the meals out was very verbally aggressive "move your drinks" and pushed the food onto the table nearly tipping the food onto my daughter's lap. Was tutting when he couldn't get the plates onto the table as though it was our fault....6 of us so plenty of food ordered as you can imagine. Food was ok but nothing like our last visit. When we got home and looked at the bill we realised we had been charged for pickle tray which was on the table already, £1 each per poppadom and then because we asked for takeaway boxes for the food not eaten (again grunted at) realise had also been charged for the takeaway box!!!! All in all not a good experience and I am sorry I didn't say anything at the time but didn't want to ruin any more of what should have been a...
