    The food tasted truly terrible and half the dishes were not remotely as described. Some dishes not available. Huge wait time. Deliveroo and Uber drivers constantly bustling in and out. Amenities such as soap and toilet paper non-existent. Bar license expired, so no alcohol. Every aspect was egregious. The server who was working alone did a good job but the situation was beyond her control.

    This has to be up there with one of the worst dining experiences ever, The food is far from ‘British Indian’ the curries all tasted the same, which were also far from nice, We asked for medium and it couldn’t be any hotter if they tried. The staff are absolutely useless, they forgot drinks, food and when we complained just stared at us and walked off. There was about 8 Uber drivers in the restaurant watching us eat which I find disgraceful, a huge line of angry customers also lined up as they obviously had missing food also. This place is taking peoples money and delivering an utter disgrace of a service, I highly recommend people do NOT visit this place. Absolute disgrace they need to hang their head in shame.
