Absolutely shocked with our experience tonight at the Abbots Tandoori. Appalled in fact... We were served by a gentleman pertaining to be the owner or manager, all was fine we ordered Popadoms. When he returned we quizzed him about the Wednesday Night Banquet Deal, as although we had not expressly told him the reason we had chosen his restaurant tonight was because of the deal. I was confused by the 'Side Dish to share' and clarified, and was told that we would have to share the side dish in the deal as opposed to having one each like most other indian restaurants offer within their deal (which are also slightly lower in price). I further queried whether if I was eating alone would I get my own side? He said yes, so we both joked we would each be eating alone then. This was all fairly playful although he seemed less smiley. Food was ok, much better than than the service to be honest, it redeemed the place a little. At the end of the meal we asked for our bill... we got this, it was £74 we were gobsmacked... it appeared that we had been charged full price (not the deal). Even though we had sat and queried the deal with the very same gentleman, he had chosen to present a full bill even though we had ordered within all of his parameters to meet the requirements of the deal. It was so obviously clear that we were ordering from the deal, there is absolutely no way it could have been confused as we clarified through each step of the ordering process that we could order said items in the deal (as there seemed to be a number of very ungenerous rules involved). We asked another waiter if there was an error who called back the same gentleman who claimed he wasn't aware that we wanted to do the deal as we didn't tell him. We were both absolutely gobsmacked and appalled. He went to recalculate the bill which came to £54+tip. Needless to say we left no tip. My friend referred to him as "slippery" as we walked up the road and I think it sums him up well. Such a shame as this new management who took over just 3 years ago are not retaining the standards set by their predecessors. Dishonest money grabbing owner/manager, not customer focussed. Will NEVER be back and will do my best to...
Read moreAbbots Tandoori was phenomenal ! As I stepped in the doorway , I sensed that my experience would be remarkable . I was seated and welcomed by the establishment’s Owner , Emon Chowdhury . Me and my family ordered Mojitos’ as we heard they’re amazing but they weren’t …. Because they were greater than amazing 🤩! We then ordered a lamb dansaak and I can tell you it was authentically good . The flavours and spices had changed my tastebuds perspective on Indian food 🇮🇳.
