They were warm and attentive in the beginning, but then forgot about you once you're main courses were out. We were sitting around twiddling our thumbs waiting for the bill and we weren't even asked how the food was and if they can get us refills. So they get a 3/5 for service, and they seemed too well staff in cooking counter, we're talking like 10 people back there and 3-4 waitresses. High Yield: A Pakistani, Middle Eastern Indian fusion restaurant that does a spectacular job on spices and capturing the tastes of these cultures, but with ghosting hospitality that needs improvement, easy on wallet, and warm atmosphere Details: What we ordered 1. Chicken Madras- They claim this is the spiciest dish offered here. True- takes a couple of bites for that spice to truly finally hit you. Great for those who are trying to truly go for a spicy and tasteful dish. I highly recommend this outta all the chickens on here. Tikka is a little too tomatoey, Bhuna has a yogurty tang to it, and this is straight up spicy spice if you like it this way. Chicken breast with a sauce not creamy but heavy in spices. Very good and well done. I highly approve. Order a side of roti/naan and dip it in. The madras and bhuna do not come with rice/bread btw, so I recommend you order a bread to dip with 2. Lamb Madhu- Rice is a little flavorless and it's a little more tough than the typical basmati rice that you see- aka not fluffy. The lamb was not bad though. It's lamb on bone compared to briyani where the meat is not on the bone. Way too much rice in my opinion but if you're a big rice eater, go for it. If your company ordered a madras/curry they can mooch off your rice a little ;) 3. Bhuna Chicken- a yogurty kinda curry. You can definitely taste the tartness of the yogurt- a soothing and comfortable curry to order if you're someone who doesn't want something too spicy or tomatoey. Highly recommend. Also need a roti/bread or mooch off a briyani's rice if you get this. Well done, however. Service: Ok, this is where they lose their 5 star rating. They come off as warm and super attentive at first. And you're pleased. However, once that main course appears, they ghost you. Never saw our waiter again. Didn't even come by and ask how we were doing, check for refills, or even come with check even when were clearly done for a while. They had excellent service but seemed to ignore you after you get your food. I checked multiple times and it wasn't like they were understaffed... rather they had like 10 people preparing food, 2-3 people chilling back behind that counter, and like 4-5 waiters for about 20-25 tables... so I don't understand how they can ghost. I recommend they step up the service or else will sacrifice their quality of their restaurant.. If you're in a rush, definitely put pressure for them to get your check or else yyou'll NEVER get it.

The food comes in small bowls that don't look like they'll satisfy your hunger, but you'll be surprised. Vegetable Samosa 3 medium size samosas served hot on the outside and warm on the inside. The peas and potato mixture, mixed with seasoning, had a nice subtle kick to it. The green chutney that came with it had a nice cool minty taste and goes well with this dish. It was more liquidy than the typical green chutney, but can be used as a dressing on top of the small salad that this came with. This is a great starter that can satisfy a small hunger or used to excite the taste buds and get the stomach ready for the main course. Chicken Tikka Masala The sauce is tomatoey and creamy. Not spicy at all. There are good amounts of chicken swimming in the sauce. The chicken is well cooked and soaks up the tikka masala, giving you more flavor as you bite into the chicken. This is my favorite. Saag Paneer This was a bit too heavily seasoned with spices and a bit too salty, for me. I couldn't really taste the spinach or cheese in it. Maybe if eaten with naan, it would balance out the seasoning, but eating it with rice, did not. If you're a fan of ginger, this has a few bits and pieces big enough for you to chew on and appreciate. Unfortunately, this was my least favorite out of the three dishes I've tried here. Even if you're dining alone or out on a romantic night around the town, this is a great place to go to satisfy that craving for delicious Indian food.

Here in Liverpool's back and beyond (well, not really, but it's not the centre so there we go, it's an entire 22 postcodes away) you can get some rather good curries and a raucous atmosphere far more suited to Manchester's Rusholme. Connoisseurs of the area tell me that this is the best Indian around their parts, and if I knew Waterloo better I'd heartily concur. It's certainly good. The staff are exceptionally lovely and offer quick, efficient and polite service, the location's nigh on perfect as it's surrounded by bars and pubs (curry and alcohol are of course the quintessential bedfellows) and the prices are rather spiffing too. As well as this they have some of the nicest naan breads I've tasted in all my curry eating years. As for the main event, it's really rather nice. If you get a chance to grab the tikka or tandoori clay oven stuff please do, as it's rather delicious. And all the usual suspects beer-wise are on the menu as well; Ting Tao, Tiger, Cobra and the like. Waterloo probably doesn't get enough of a shout out on Yelp so at least if you're in the area know that there's a good curry hut round the corner!

Don't get me wrong I am very fussy about picking and choosing my starters sides mains et al. However I was really impressed with the 9 or so meal platter options. I am willing to let go and let people tell me what to eat as long as the food is great. This place I did let my guard down as the Platters did look magnificent. I was not disappointed. The Nawabi Raan is the Chef's signature dish and rightly so!! This comprises of slow roasted tender lamb shank served in a medium spiced sauce made from finely chopped onions and peppers, coriander, cardamon, bay leaf and cinnamon sticks.(Served with pilau rice,garlic nan, and tarka daal) Doesn't that sound beautiful... The traditional favourrites list is long very long. The place will have you coming back for more, oh so many great options to choose from. I didn't pay much attention to them though as they are mostly for the people who have little knowledge about Indian cuisine and wash down the Vindaloos with their beers. Beer drinking culture never ceases to amaze me. How people can drink any form of liquid in copius amounts never mind beer is beyond me, as is the reason behind doing so. Check out the Tandoori clayt oven meal platters instead, Sheek pura murghi for example. What ever you order if there are more than 4 of you make sure you order one of each types of tandoori naans. I could eat keema naans (Naan with filling of spicy mince lamb) for fun...I'd probably get fat, but oh it'll be worth it. This is one magic carpet ride into food heaven that you shouldn't be missed.

The numerous starters were invariably quite tasty but sadly only luke warm at best.The onion bhajis were stone cold and quite leathery. None of the starters were anywhere near the quality of those we regularly enjoy in Bradford. And so to the main course - I had a ckicken korma and the wife a chicken balti. Both were luke warm and you could have built a house with the naan bread!!! Couldnt be bothered with a sweet even though we hadnt eaten much!!' And so to the customer service.!! When the guy came to clear the table I complained about the cold food. He said he would look into it. We waited 10 minutes and then decided to leave. When paying, I asked the guy if his colleague had looked into the cold food he said yes but couldn't explain why no one had explained it to me. I was then told not to take the main course food from the top but from the bottom where it is hot!!! I asked why he hadn't mentioned this when showing us the food when we first came in - he never answered this question but simply kept telling me to take the main course from the bottom. He then couldnt explain why the starters were cold. He got a rock hard naan out and told me that is how they should be - unbelievable He told me he has many satisfied customers and that he can't please everyone all of the time!!! And apparently he had increased the price of the buffet meal but was still distributing brochures and displaying notices in the restaurant with old prices.He said these were in the process of being changed ( this was 4 Jan and he changed his prices on boxing day he said.) The website remains unchanged!! He then overcharged me for 2 halves of lager and said he had made a mistake because we all make mistakes sometimes. We certainly had by going in there. And throughout my discussions with both these guys the word sorry was never used. I paid the wrongly displayed prices and left. A terrible experience

Have you ever been in to a place that screams "CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!"?…read moreWell this place is that. The only reason I came across this place is because I travelled all the way to The Wirral to visit a tattoo artist. I was really hungry and couldn't be bothered waiting til I got home and then having to drag things out and cook... So I asked the tattoo artist where was good to go and he recommended this restaurant. The boy and I trundled down to the restaurant and we were welcomed in by a friendly waiter. As you can see from the photo's I've uploaded, presentation is EVERYTHING! It's clean, aesthetically pleasing and the seats were very comfy :) We ordered poppadoms and the selection of chutneys and onions to start. I did not expect what was delivered on a HUGE revolving dish infront of me! (see the picture!) I would have thoroughly enjoyed eating poppadoms and these chutneys for the rest of the evening!! SO yummy! The chilli one was overwhelming but very tasty. Next stage? Main meal; I ordered a Chicken Karahi with lemon rice (my fave) - I cannot describe how cool the rice mountain on a saucer looked! The dishes were authentic and again presentation was clearly key when the plate arrived with artistic garnish decoration! The portions were plenty but not overloaded - as you ate your first bite, you could tell how fresh the herbs, spices, vegetables and chicken were! The sauce was also light which made it very refreshing and not a burden on the stomach like some takeaway curries can be. After much mmmm'ing and delightful smiles, we were finished and our plates cleared away. They then brought us freshly cut orange and hot lemon cleansing wipes. The boy decided to have some ice cream and I had a lovely earl grey tea. After ordering dessert, one of the waiter's approached us asking me where we were from and some random questions about why we had come there. Whilst he was doing this he had put a bag of balloons on the table and asked me what animal I would like! I asked for a cat and he got straight in to it - it was fantastic!!! (see the picture!) A starter, mains, a few drinks and dessert with friendly service in such a great place came to just over £30. Well worth every penny. I am definitely going back if I ever go to the Wirrall again!
