Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Group of us go for curries every so often, we decided to try the buffet here, at 27 pound a head excluding drinks ( non alcoholic only) price wise it was definitely cheaper than a normal curry based on the amount of food you can...get. The actual venue is very nice , can see why people book for weddings/large parties There was a large variety of starters and a fair few curries ( although mostly all chicken based ) . However quantity doesn't equate to quality and for me the food was no where near as nice as you would get in a decent traditional curry restaurant. I think you just end up eating more than you need to of average food to justify paying the buffet price. I wouldn't return , although the place was very busy so I assume for some people the variety and amount is worth itMore

What a stunning place, the entrance hall looks like a 5 star hotel. I am far from an Indian expert but there were so many choices it was great. Wasnt too amused with the tikka masala but the rest was delicious. Please bare in mind...if you go that there is no alcohol being served.More

The curries have improved since we last went when it was Nawaab. The curry is thicker with more flavour and way less oil. The starters were nice but the daal has changed. I preferred the old daal. The old daal was the highlight of my...trip in the Nawaab days. But now the curries are the highlight with Merzee. The lamb chops were much better too. Much more moist and flavourful. I didn’t have any digestive issues or nausea after the food which I did when it was Nawaab. I used to dread those watery oily bland curries that they did. The only downside is that they charge you for popadoms. At £26 per person plus the extra cost of drinks, it seemed cheeky to charge for popadoms when it’s supposed to be a buffet. It was nice to have one last visit there since its changed. I won’t be returning again. Purely because of the price.More

Food was undercooked. The grilled wings had dried blood in them. Felt sick after after that. Rest of the starters were dry. Chicken masala tasted awful. Never again. Merzee gone down hill.

The people in the management is worst I have ever seen. I had Booking 290 people and been told left over food will be packed to take home. On the event day due to very rainy and bad weather, we had over 50 to 60...person not turned up. We expected lots of leftover food as we had lots of people not come. When got home, I was surprised to see only got chicken and meat not even enough for 5 person. I rang next day asked what happened. They said some one call back so far no one have. I have spoken to nearly all staff in the management and called every days over 10 days so far no answer. The people in this management are very unprofessional . I would people think twice before you book here. They don't like it when customer complain but they like to take your money upfront. I would like to give 0 star if I can. Never again.More

I've been coming to Nawaab in Leeds for years and have always enjoyed the food and service however after ordering a tandoori mixed grill the food turned up and the lamp chops were like cold, chewy gristle , I don't often complain but as they...were so poor I spoke to the manager in a polite manner who's attitude was quite aggressive and dismissive. I fully appreciate it can't be easy dealing with so many half cut/drunk customers on a Saturday evening but if they're going to charge £15 a pop for a dish they really ought to make sure it's actually edible. Won't be rushing back.More
