I'm pretty sure Bros were still rocking the charts last time this place was decorated, but if you…read morecan overlook the tired furniture and strange decor then you are in for a treat. Don't get me wrong, you will not find any gastronomic genius here - this is strictly a vindaloo and pint of Cobra curry house. But what it does, it does very well, and it has been doing it for a long time. Sadly, despite the good food, this place seems to have (undeservedly) been in steady decline for quite a while, and tends to be less than half full most of the time, so don't be put off if it looks empty!

On our arrival at 20:30 no one greeted us or asked us to take a seat, it was us who had to approach…read morea member of staff who ticked us off their list and left us standing there. When we were about to be seated, our host rushed us to our seat so quickly that we actually lost him! The cutlery was thrown in front of me so it was strewn across two place settings. I ask for some poppadoms, the waiter looked through me with no acknowledgment and they never arrived. When our food arrived the waiter didn't know what samosa was which (meat or Vegetable) and showed deep distain when we queried this. Again our main meal was served without the waiter's knowledge in what he was serving, again when we queried he showed no interest what so ever, just distain. When we asked for the bill the waiter showed zero interest, I asked for the bill to be split down the middle between the 2 couples, the waiter asked abruptly 'how much then' so he let us work this out for him, he tutted, this was the final straw so I asked him if he had a busy day, he replied that he had and that this annoyed him!

I met my partner in there one night as I was out elsewhere during the day, he'd been having a meal with a friend of ours. They both commented on the waiters not even smiling when they walked in. I got the same when I walked in, most odd, so unwelcoming. They both said the food wasn't that good either such a shame, as I said at the start, it used to be good!
