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.

Met with an empty restaurant that seemed to be staffed with a young girl and her brother. Zero interaction or warmth from the young girl she made me feel like we were in the wrong place. Standard food, reasonable prices. Sorry but it’s not for...me. It filled up later with locals. I still don’t understand paying service charge and will always insist it is taken off the bill. Not one of the drinks that spilled did they offer to replace. A complete waste of my evening. Their reviews are littered with one star reviews which is always suspicious to me.More

Welcomed by staff on arrival and seated straight away. We were a large party of 11 so not easy to fit us all in, however they overhead one of our party say she didn't like where we were and immediately offered us another table with...no questions. Food and drinks orders taken promptly and didn't have a long wait for the food. Despite the restaurant being busy we got our food within a reasonable time and it was piping hot. I don't think anyone had any problems and the food was tasty and piping hot. We were there for the Elvis night which is always a great night and packed, but staff carried on smiling and working hard.More

I went to this restaurant with my family after hearing about its amazing food. I was welcomed by amazing decorations and friendly staff. The atmosphere was electric. However the food arrived quite late but it was busy so I can understand. But even if it...wasn’t busy, the food made up for it, the dum ghost and lamb chops were immaculate and the desserts were top notch. This is the restaurant you can buy without checking the price cuz it’s absolutely amazing. Great job Abdul and the teamMore

Starters are cooked to order- huge onion bhaji, 2 tandoori wings, samosa n salad each - All...Delish ( onion bhaji was perfect- not dry or floury) then the mains were self service buffet except the naan breads which were cooked fresh to order ( peshwari, garlic, plain or keema). There was chick tikka masala (obs) , a hot chick curry, lamb dupiaza, veg curry, Bombay potatoes, rice and salad. The curries had plentiful of large chunks of meat .

5* to the Chef because food is absolutely yummy and when it finally came it was hot and amazing! Now to the 2* part, the customer service. When we arrived they couldn't find our details ( I booked 2 months in advance and they rang...to me to confirm) and took few minutes to figure it out. They sat us down to a lovely space, no complain there. Now the reason why only 2* stars - food took ages to arrive ( fair enough it was a crazily busy time when we arrived), then we had parts of our order missing, couldn't get anyones attention, drinks took ages too even through its beers in bottles? At one point we got 2 beers even though there was clearly 4 of us and we asked for 4. Nope, never got the remaining two. When we tried to ask for a bill it took ages so when after 25 minutes we finally got hold of a waiter we were excited that we can finally pay. Nope. it took another 30 minutes and two reminders to get the bill. What we didn't realise is that they are not using a till but writing everything down on paper. Ooops. If this was explained to us we would be much happier. When the bill arrived we were charged for food we never got, also the beers that never arrived ( we had 9 but the bill had 11 on there ). So back to the drawing room to get the bill adjusted - also everything was scribbled on the bill so no idea what else we were actually being charged for- at the end we spent 1 hour and 30 minutes eating and drinking and the other hour and some waiting for the bill and food. Not important but when i booked the table there was an offer for a free house wine - we never got that either. Lovely place, amazing food( LIKE HONESTLY YUMMY!) but let down by the service. I will go back if someone can confirm the service improved...its a shame as I can see all the 5* reviews so I know its good and I hate moaning but just our luck it was not the best night.More

Went here for my sons 18th, at his request. Didn't say anything prior but once they found out it was his 18th. They brought out banners & balloons. They were brilliant. So, had been here a few times & always found the staff very welcoming...& attentive. The food, always top quality, plus not overpriced. No difference this time. Can't fault this place, Deja Vu you've done it again. Thanks again & see you soon.More
