Hi, Again good food!! That's what I look out for at all…read moretimes. Good place to eat if you choose Indian north Indian cuisine

I was recommended this place by a cab driver in Reading and he did warn me about the decor in the…read moreplace. It's called Punjabi Grill and the minute you walk in it looks like a kebab shop as does the menu. Curry, Pizza and Burgers in the same shop. I usually stay miles away from places like this but in this instance I thought I would give it a go. And am I glad I did. I ordered a Palak Paneer, Sheek Kebab and two Tandoori Rotis and the total bill including a bottle of water was £6.20....wow :-)) The food arrived hot, Rotis were freshly made and they also gave me a side salad with mint yogurt to go with the meal. The palak paneer was divine and took me back to my days travelling India and eating at roadside eateries called Dhabas. The Sheek kebab was also tasty albeit a bit dry. All in all a fabulous meal and the place was full of Indian and Pakistanis and like me they were enjoying themselves immensely. One guy at another table was tapping his lamb shank bone to get every bit of marrow and sauce out of it. Another guy licked clean his Biryani and another the same with his pizza. All I can assume is that the other dishes were as equally good as mine. Definitely coming back here for a cheap feed when in Reading. Don't let the looks or the menu fool you ;-)) This place is not located in the best part of town and it is all about the food and nothing more. Drinks list is minimal water or fizzy drinks. Wish they had Lassi on the menu :-(

Sometimes, you just want someone else to cook. And perhaps you're not in the mood for a sit down…read morerestaurant and taking your order and waiting for the check and all that nonsense. And you don't want BK or KFC or McD's. That was me, tonight. I've walked past this shop a few dozen times (it's at the end of my road) and there's usually at least one or two customers in there, so I thought I might give it a try. They have two of the donner doo-dads. One is the standard lamb and the other is chicken. There's also a grill and they do have burgers on the menu. After he finished preparing another order, the guy behind the counter asked me what I wanted. I figured I couldn't go wrong with a chicken donner and I was right. And at £5 (~$8), a reasonable purchase. When I got it home and took it out of the package, it was well loaded with chicken and spicy sauce and cabbage and onions and some pepperocini's. See the linked pictures. There's no way you're eating this by hand. A fork is required, or it's all over the place. The only complaint is that the bread was a little on the dry side, but it was still okay. Would I return? Yes. It was, as they say, A-OK. Harput is apparently named after a town near the Euphrates River. The store has a big sign mentioning that all the meat is "halal" which is similar to kosher. And what's a donner? In the States, you usually see these in Greek restaurants. Its a vertical rotating spit with meat cooking on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%B6ner_kebab. There, you're educated! Now go eat!

I'd give this place 3.5 stars, but since Yelp only likes whole numbers, The Botanist gets 3 stars…read more There was great décor, a hip atmosphere, and great cocktails, but the food and service left a lot to be desired. There were 4 of us there and when we got there we were told we couldn't get a table until 7:45pm (it was about 6:50pm), so we opted to hang out in the bar while waiting for our table. We enjoyed mulled wine and live music (the girl playing the guitar on Dec 7th was amazing) in the bar. At 7:45pm we asked about our table and were told it would just be another 5-10 minutes. Well we didn't actually get seated until 8:30pm. When we finally got seated, our server came over and took our drink orders but then disappeared for 15 minutes. We literally flagged down another server to ask questions about the menu and tried to ask him to take our order because we were starving, but she finally arrived back. We all got the 3-course menu and started off with the curry cauliflower soup and it was great, but it literally took 20 minutes to arrive. It's just soup, so we had no idea why it took so long. For my main I got the baked cod and it was mediocre at best.....dry, no flavor, just not good. For dessert I got the Bakewell tart at the recommendation of our server and it was dry and not great. I'd go back to the bar for a cocktail, but the food and service aren't worth the wait at all.

My 3 friends and I waited over an hour for a table around 7pm on a Tuesday evening. We figured it…read morewould be worth the long wait, after witnessing how business was booming at The Botanist. Unfortunately, after getting seated, it took another 30 minutes for the waitress to take our order, and another 45 minutes for our first course to arrive. Needless to say, we were disappointed by the slow dinner service. Famished, we rapidly inhaled our main course (my salmon kebab was delightful- I'd give the flavor and quantity 4 stars) & eagerly waited for the desserts to arrive. Again, disappointment set in when we took our first bite of stale, dry chocolate cake and an overly sweet tart. It didn't take us the full 3 hours into dinner service to realize that we wouldn't be coming back here again. Step up the service and dessert, and maybe we'll consider The Botanist the next time we're in town!
