"This is, without doubt, the single most awful Indian restaurant I have ever had the misfortune of going to. There was not one single solitary part of my families evening meal there that was pleasant. To start with, we booked, and upon arrival, we were shown our table, by the barman pointing, it's there. Not let's show you to your table, welcome or anything. We sat down and a full 15 minutes later we were asked for our drinks etc. We asked for the set nenu at which our server tutted, wandered over to the menu table, and then dropped it on our table! We'd asked for 10 poppadoms, but 6 arrived, clearly counting not a strong point. We waited another 15 minutes to order our drinks, which arrived another 15 minutes later. We had the misfortune of choosing the house white wine or Euro vinegar to be precise. It was awful and just missing chips to sprinkle it on. It was then a full hour before our starter, and the kids' poor, cold burnt cold chicken nuggets and chips arrived. Then, a full 90 minutes later, we still had no food. I stopped the waiter who rudely and abruptly told me everyone was waiting for 2 hours and walked away. It then took another 30 minutes for our food to arrive, we wish ut hadn't. It was a tasteless, poor quality meal, the chicken tikka masala tasted like it was made with watery tomato soup, the korma equally as weak, then my Khalari had zero taste. When we complained, we were simply told it wasn't the managers fault. It was because he hadn't employed enough staff, so actually, it was totally his fault. How this place has a good rating is beyond me, I'm guessing they're old ones from it's heyday in times past. My reviews at the time of writing this have over 2.9 million views, and this is because I give an honest review and opinion. My advice is that I'd to completely avoid this restaurant and seek another unless you have 3 hours to kill, no kids to entertain, and no taste buds to be upset.

"We are on holiday and learned there was a Karoke on on the Saturday night at this bar, starting at 7pm, So we booked to eat at 6.30pm. The food was not bad enough to complain but not good enough for a compliment. The Karoke started off okay and my wife became the fourth singer in the queue. BY the time 7 people had sung, we were back at the 1st singer and then the 2nd singer all perfectly acceptable and right. But then more and more regulars came in and suddenly, none regulars were ignored and regulars suddenly took preference at singing, with many of them getting 3 songs before my wife was called to sing her second song????? This was bad enough but as the evening moved on, the landlady decided it was her Karoke so she could sing what she wanted, whenever she wanted and she would choose who else could also sing out of turn. This is one of my pet hates about Karokes where the host gives preference to the regulars and the other people just have to put up with it. I absolutely hate it. We will not still be on holiday for next weeks Karoke at CK1 cafe and bar as if we were, we would not attend anyway, but until we go home, we will never visit this bar again as I am not giving my money to any bar that treats its none regular customers with contempt. In addition, by and large, I do not check my bill at the end of an evening, but this time, for some reason I did. It was wrong as I had been overcharged. It was put right without question AND without apology. It may well have been a genuine mistake but overcharging holiday makers and immediately correcting the extra costs without question when challenged does make me wonder how many bills also had mistakes that had been paid without checking first."

"(Traducido por Google) Qué increíble experiencia de comida india, me encanta la comida india y desde que vivo en Murcia ha sido bastante difícil encontrar un buen lugar y nos topamos con este lugar. Indie, uno de los propietarios nos dio una muy buena experiencia gastronómica y una noche increíble. l El vino allí es increíble! Cuando a la mañana siguiente volví a mirar el restaurante, vi que eran un bar de vinos. Ahora entiendo más por qué el vino sabía increíble. Puedes probar la tradición en la comida, lse siente como estar en un restaurante indio! Buena comida, servicio amable y, finalmente, un lugar para disfrutar de mi plato favorito, Butter Chicken. Y para no olvidar que sus naan son tan increíbles. Quería probar muchos platos diferentes, pero con el primer plato me sentí tan lleno, inhasta pronto para probar más comida mágica! Simplemente dicho, lno puedo esperar para volver allí! (Original) Was für ein erstaunliches indisches Essen, ich liebe indisches Essen und seit ich in Murcia lebe, war es ziemlich schwierig, einen guten Platz zu finden und wir stolperten auf diesen Ort. Indie, einer der Besitzer gab uns ein sehr gutes Essenserlebnis und eine erstaunliche Nacht draußen. Der Wein dort ist erstaunlich! Als ich am Morgen später das Restaurant wieder aufsah, sah ich, dass sie eine Weinbar sind. Jetzt verstehe ich mehr, warum der Wein erstaunlich schmeckte. Sie können die Tradition im Essen schmecken, es fühlt sich an, als wäre es in einem indischen Restaurant! Tolles Essen, freundlicher Service und schließlich ein Ort, um mein fav Gericht, Butter Chicken zu genießen! Und nicht zu vergessen, dass ihr Naan so erstaunlich ist! Ich wollte viele verschiedene Gerichte probieren, aber mit der Faustplatte fühlte ich mich so voll, so sehen Sie bald mehr magisches Essen zu probieren! Einfach gesagt, ich kann es nicht erwarten, dorthin zurück zu gehen!"

"This was our 1st visit and although the restaurant was very busy with a lot of families we decided to choose the meal deal at €8.95 each; this included a starter, a main and a rice or noodle dish. A bottle of wine was €3.50...with this deal, and we paid €1 each extra for a pudding. To be honest, with such a good value deal, and so many customers we didn't really have very high expectations but we love Chinese food, so we wanted to try. Service was predictably quite slow, due to the number of customers, but our wine was brought out quite early. The food was absolutely delicious and way exceeded our expectations. We had Vietnamese rolls (I'd expected these to be raw veg in soft rice wrappers like I've had before in UK, but they were slim, veg filled spring rolls, deep fried, but not greasy) crisp and delicious, 3 in a serving. My hubby had spring roll which was like one big Spring roll, mainly filled with lettuce, and deep fried not as tasty as the Vietnam rolls but still good. Mains were prawns in black bean sauce (plenty of big succulent prawns with tasty fresh stir fried veg) and beef in house special sauce (tender slices of beef with plenty of stir fried veg and a tasty savoury sauce). Rice and noodle dishes were egg fried and mixed with strips of meat and veg. Both really tasty. Not sure if we'd bother with pudding again next time, as we were quite full! but it was tasty enough fried bananas (not very pretty, and quite basic) and a cappuccino cake (sponge based cheesecake square sweet, but not v strong coffee flavour). Portion sizes were generous and I'm sure they'd pack up leftovers if you couldn't manage to eat everything. They so do takeaway which seemed very popular too. Do check your bill as they were so busy, our bill wasn't quite right, but this was resolved very easily (ours was too cheap, but we prefer to be honest, so we pointed it out and paid the full price!). I'm not sure how they do the meal deal for the money, as there are loads of dishes to choose from within the deal, but I'd definitely recommend you try it. They do as la carte too, with very reasonable prices. Staff are lovely very friendly, very polite. We'll definitely be back."
