Raffles Restaurant — Restaurant in Warwick

AVOID IT IS A SHAMBLES - Service, food, hospitality, price, the list goes on Where do we start.... I don't think I have been that disappointed in the food and service in a very long time, The starter 4 tiny Pieces of warehouse frozen pork & prawn Siu mai advertised and pork and prawn dumplings. Mains: Both curries ordered lamb and chicken completely taste like full on Sri Lankan food, lacking any Malaysian authenticity what so ever, clumpy rice (have videos) frozen parantha ( advertised as Roti chanai. Constant loud Tamil language chat from the kitchen, banging, grinding, drilling with an actual drill. Manager walking around whistling! Banged our plates literally on the table and we hadn’t said a word yet, we had ti ask to order. Not asked for any follow up drinks, desserts nothing While we sat there for 45 mins. I seriously would not have even eaten here if I was paid too! Best bit was when we were asked to pay for service, when we got 3 second into explaining he shimmy’s off and called the chef who explained that rice was authentic Malaysian sticky rice.. having been to malaysia 4 times and eaten Malaysian and Asian food many times l've never had lumpy, clumped, old basmati rice MANY PICTURES AND VIDEOS AVAILABLE AVOID ITS A SHAMBLES WILL BE POSTING REVIEWS...

Visited this restaurant with friends, both our husbands had served with Royal Marines in Malaya for a number of years and decided to give this place a try when we found a Groupon offer. We had a very warm welcome from a very friendly and helpful waiter. We started with Singapore Slings which were very good and tasted exactly like the ones we had in Raffles Long Bar in Singapore. We had 3 courses, 2 of us had the pork dumplings, spicy pork with yoghurt rice and blackcurrant tart with cream and were both more than happy with our choice even though this pork dish was a lot hotter than we expected. Other two had a minced beef starter which was delicious and Captain's curry for main which was less hot but nevertheless very good. Both had a pineapple dessert with rum and ice cream. We had coffees, a bottle of wine and a couple of beers and everyone set off home in good spirits after a lovely evening out with friends having been looked after in a very friendly and professional way by our waiter. Will be back...

Sadly, we ate here for the first and last time for our Wedding Anniversary meal. For most of the meal, we were the only diners in the tatty and dated restaurant area. The Starters were so bad, we even debated leaving. My wife's Dim Sum were tough in texture and foul to taste. We suggested that the pork may have been 'off' but this idea was rejected by the single staff member. This chap seemed to spend the whole time clattering between the hotel reception and shouting at the chef(?) in Hindi. Unfortunately for them, my wife speaks Hindi and overheard him loudly proclaiming something about 'out of date food'! So I guess our suspicions were justified. The mains were below par and I was charged £2.50 for a very small cup of disgusting instant coffee. Kenilworth has far better to offer, even the kebab shop over the road would seem gourmet in...
