"We went for a birthday Sunday lunch, it took over 50 minutes for our drinks to come to which we was told the drinks will be took off the bill due to having to order them more than once for them to arrive. The young servers are petrified of staff and constantly apologising profusely and shaking while cleaning tables, when we first arrived we even saw one that looked to be crying not the nicest experience. They kept coming and asking if everything was okay multiple times where it became beyond a joke. While waiting for our food we got approached approx 4 times asking 'is there anything else I can get you? ' bit of an awkward time to ask this while we are waiting for our dinner we don 't want anything else, we would like our dinner. Our food finally came after a long wait too except for one meal, we kept chasing up when this burger was going to come out. They told us many times 'it is just being plated up now '. We had all finished our dinners and it still had not arrived! We told the staff not to bother with the burger as the gentleman had gone off the idea of having this as the idea of eating your meal on your own is not nice. We asked for a white wine, they brought out a red. While we was eating our dinner we was approached approx 6 times asking if our food was okay it got a bit silly. There was just never ending problems. We had to ask multiple times for sauces and when they finally brought sauces out they missed the ones we actually asked for. When we paid the bill they didn 't take off our drinks as promised, but they did give us discount on the food. The table next to us had been waiting for their desserts for almost an hour. The whole experience was the strangest. If you want to be served by petrified servers that don 't seem to have been trained properly this is the place for you."

"Myself and my friend had a very disappointing meal and experience here recently. It was the first time I had been out properly for months and I was really looking forward to it. We booked for and arrived on time. Our order was taken...promptly but the service was excruciatingly slow. We ordered one poppadom each which arrived after about minutes then we had a massive wait of about mins for the starter to come out. The scallops were reasonable, there were only three in a dish with a bit of sauce, I appreciate that scallops are expensive, but the king prawn starter was a complete joke and insult, there were two prawns in a dish with a little bit of salad, the starters were gone in seconds. I'm guessing that portion sizes have been reduced dramatically since the August half price offer. We then had a monumental weight for the main courses to arrive. By the time it was both myself and my friend had had enough. There was still no sign of the food appearing so we asked for it to be boxed up so we could take it away. In the space of hours, we had eaten one poppadom each and three scallops and two prawns between us. Our night out was completely ruined. To make it worse we saw other people arrive after us, eat and then leave and our main courses hadn't even arrived. I can only guess that takeaway orders had taken priority which is going to alienate customers. The food which I ate luke warm when I got home was average. The naan was thin and tasteless, and the portions were small. Two stars is being generous and I certainly won't be going back."
