I would avoid this place if possible, we went there last night for a work night out and we weren't impressed at all. The whole place feels underwhelming, sub-par and lacking in quality. We arrived at nearly 7pm and were the only ones in there - we sat down and soon had a host of waiters standing around our table, glaring at us - I'm sure they thought this was good service but it couldn't be further from the mark.
We had our order taken by an angry older man, who seemed to be in charge, who gave the impression he'd rather be anywhere but there. The whole ethos seemed to be sell as many beers as possible and don't worry about the food - a coke was £4.50 and lacking in syrup so tasted like water and the beer was £6.50 a shot and wasn't even on tap!!!
Starters came out and were, at best, mediocre. The salad looked like it had seen better days and most of the dishes were dripping in grease. When the mains finally arrived, which we were waiting quite a while for, they rushed them out and demanded we make space on the table, pushing food heaters down the line which looked like they were from the 80's. After a while we told them we had some items missing, we had to deduce exactly what these dishes were ourselves and waited another short while for this. The dishes came out on plates that looked like they were from Poundland. The tastes were bland and underwhelming.
Throughout the evening three more tables came in, all of whom seemed to be locals and seemingly ignorant as to the quality of food being pushed here.
At the end of the evening the angry, older man took payments and got visibly annoyed with us when we asked if we could pay separately.
This restaurant feels like a Wish version of what an Indian curry house should be. You can immediately see how cost is spared at every corner in this place. We normally go to Tarana but had a friend who couldn't leave Crowborough on this occasion and we were planning on going to the Rose of Bengal, but they are closed on Tuesdays. I would strongly recommend to anyone not to frequent this restaurant if you are looking for an enjoyable evening...
Read moreOutstanding curry place for those with allergies!
I have only had takeaway from here but I'm unfortunately one of those annoying people with Coeliac disease (super sensitive gluten intolerance). The staff had the time to talk to me, knew how everything was cooked and gave me confidence in their understanding. I've had several takeaways from here with no problems. Always happy to help and listen and I really appreciate that.
On top of that, the food is really good and portion sizes excellent.
Brilliant value, great service for allergies and tasty food. Could...
Read moreWe were staying with friends and I googled local indian restaurants, and what a find this was. Service for a takeaway was very good and the staff were very polite. The quality of the food was excellent and I only wish this restaurant was in North Yorkshire. I will be visiting again before we head north and I can fully recommend this restaurant. Food is well priced and the portions are very good. I am a frequent visitor to Indians restaurants in Bradford and Leeds and this is...
