I had bought a voucher on Groupon as a treat for my partner, himself an excellent cook. The voucher value was for £62.55, I paid £24, and we did wonder how we could possibly eat that much food in one sitting. However, our fears were misplaced as we didn’t have enough food to feed a child let alone 2 adults. There was no choice in what we had to eat and what we had was almost inedible. We arrived at the Restaurant for a 6.15 booking and after ordering drinks and glancing at the proferred menu, although why this was given to us I don’t know, perhaps to further ‘rub salt in the already seeping wound’!! By 6.30 we had finished eating, the food was served on a cold plate and was brought all at the same time. There were dishes the likes of which we had never seen or tasted before and henceforth never will again. The Chicken Goa and Coconut Rice wouldn’t have filled the smallest of birds, 4 tiny pieces of chicken and a small handful of rice to be shared between us. We actually joked about leaving at the end of the meal and going for a Chinese – we could have eaten one so empty were our bellies!!!

I spoke with the staff, the manager being off that evening, and complained however a brick wall would have been more responsive.

I urge the curry loving people of this city to avoid at all cost this dreadful restaurant. Buy a packet of curry sauce mix, chicken breasts and a packet of heat in the bag rice you will save yourselves a fortune and at least enjoy what you are eating.

I will be contacting Groupon to lodge a complaint and hopefully ensure that this sham never happens to some other unsuspecting diners. However, if you think tepid, insipid, starch laden food is your idea of a perfect night out then this is the place for you!!!
