What recent reviewers mention most:
Generous portionsCurry
Check out their Chicken Curry with Rice & Chips, it's an amazing dish. Its a large portion, we order one to eat between two of us in the restaurant and one to bring home. Great value. Service is very friendly. Well worth a visit.
I have been a regular at this establishment for a long time, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to justify returning. It is painful to see a place I once enjoyed fall into such a consistent decline in both service and food quality.
The Atmosphere & Service
The interior is significantly dated and feels like it hasn't been touched in years, but the lack of hospitality is the bigger issue. As a customer, I always make a point to say "please" and "thank you," yet the staff never returns the gesture. It’s the small things that make a guest feel welcome, and unfortunately, that warmth is completely gone here.
The Food
The quality has unfortunately slipped. On a prior visit, I ordered the turkey and ham dinner; the ham was incredibly "off" and the entire meal was frankly disgusting. When I brought this to the manager's attention, I still paid in full, but she didn't even act surprised by the complaint—which is perhaps the most concerning part.
Final Thoughts
I truly hope this place can turn things around and return to its former glory. I want to support them, but after being met with cold service and sub-par food, I’m honestly not sure if I’ll be back.
We stopped in here for something to eat as we were passing through the town hoping to get some tapas. There was no tapas on the very basic , unappealing menu we were given and there was no mention of tapas. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. The table we were sat at was dirty with crumbs all over the table and the cutlery wasn’t even 100% clean. The food was not impressive at all particularly the way the chicken curry was presented. The soup was only alright. Everything actually appeared to be all the same colour, just not very appealing overall. The salt was in the pepper shaker and the pepper in the salt so my mother ended up with chips covered in pepper. The restaurant itself was very dull and dark, no atmosphere. Would not recommend or return.
