Rami Tandoori — Restaurant in St Albans

My husband's post! Food is decent.

Staff are friendly and I am very pro supporting local businesses but not when they are always trying to upsell and charge for everything.

I went in with a friend. When I got the bill I couldn't believe that 8 poppadoms with dips were £8.00! I mean really! Most place don't charge for them or it's generally a throw away price.

I also live within a stone's throw of the restaurant and I have tried to order a takeaway in the past and they wanted to charge me delivery costs. I told them that I had a child in bed so I couldn't leave the house and it fell on deaf ears.

As a local business they should respect locals more, not take advantage because they are the only local curry house in the area. St Albans has many other good curry houses and they do deliver to Chiswell Green!

So you may say - just take your business elsewhere mate and you're right, if I don't want to pay £8.00 for a few poppadoms and dip, then I might have to! Lastly, I was overcharged on checking the bill and I'm still not convinced I paid the correct total in the end either!

So all in all, food was good, however, not enough to keep me as a paying customer when I take all the other details...

We tried the restaurant for the banquet night which is on Tuesdays. We sat down to eat and told the owner we were here for the banquet offer after the owner automatically handing to us the normal menu and not the banquet menu. He just replied with yes of course sir! The food wasn’t up to standard, my king prawn piri was baby prawn and the prawns were hard and chewy, not fresh at all. (Frozen) my friend ordered the chicken which was also chewy and from frozen. When we asked for the bill he handed me and my friend a total bill of £60.00 which was well over the banquet deal price, we ordered three drinks which we already knew we had to pay extra for. When I approached the owner about the bill he got very abroupt towards us and rude about it and dismissed the offer that he has written on a sign outside his shop and charged me and my friend full price for everything. We felt like we had been conned! As we were leaving there was a group of 6 people just sitting down and I watched the owner pass all 6 the normal menu instead off the banquet menu just like he done to me and my friend. Horrible food, service and...

I have been happy with Rami for several years and the food is good. The owner has always been very pleasant and chatty like a friend. Now I realise it is only when he wants. I ordered a meal for two tonight through their website as they request paid with Apple Pay £30 +. Told to collect in 15 minutes. On arrival I was told that they hadn’t received the order and that I should contact the company through which I had ordered. When told it was through their website he said well he wouldn’t get the money for three days ! My option was to reorder and pay again. The friendly man had gone! I now have to wait until Monday to try and get my money back from ‘Apple pay’ such a shame as I liked the food thier. I would advise caution should you order online from Rami Chiswell Green and don’t be drawn in by the friendly owner, you have...
