Terrible horrendous wedding venue…read more Recently attended a family friend wedding Mic is broken, they make false promises to get your money Sound system is cheap and sounds blurry You have to use your phone to connect, laptops dont work ever Toilets are tiny, next to kitchen in same corridor No equipment actually works Broken plastered walls, cheap flooring on stage, looks mangled and a trip hazard. Food service is 3-4 hours long and slow Manager is a total ghost and once you have paid, they do not care

i wish I could rate zero and I also wish I read the reviews before I went with the venue. The…read moremanagement and staff are beyond incompetent and rude. Do not book your wedding here. They will ruin your day. The security guard was the only helpful person on the day. In fact, he was the only one present on the day from morning to night. I was promised that haider, one of the staff members would be present to help, but he was not there and would not answer any phone calls. I had to go through the office entrance which according to security wasn't supposed to be open, as there was no one to let me in and there was no one answering the phone. My registrar had to get hold of a signing table as they had forgot to put one out for my civil ceremony. when confronted about this, I was told by haider that i didnt tell him I was having a civil, even though I have clear written and verbal proof that I did in fact tell him, I'm having a civil ceremony at 12pm and need a signing table. When confronted, bilal was rude and told me I am blackmailing him when I asked for a form of compensation. They are fraudsers and scammers. Do not go with this company for your wedding.

People with food allergies beware! I came here for a family meal and everything was great, up until…read moreI tasted a main dish (chicken karahi) that, according to their allergen menu, was nut free, however I developed an allergic reaction almost instantly. I quickly took some antihistamines, and spoke to a waiter who immediately got on the defence, but after insisting that I was indeed having a reaction (just because you can't see it on my face, doesn't mean it's not occurring inside), he spoke to the chef. When he returned the table, he began suggesting that perhaps I mixed spoons or cross contaminated the food myself. Yup, that totally happened to someone, living 25 years with a severe nut allergy. I totally understand that there's no guarantee, and I always take that into account. However I still always take extra precautions and choose dishes that are less likely to contain nut ingredients. As the waiter was in defence mode throughout, nothing came out of me reporting that incident to him. I'm pretty appalled with the way this was handled, especially in suggesting it could have been my fault and not taking any responsibility of a mistake that could indeed have happened in the kitchen. Other than that, I didn't believe the food was anything exceptional as a couple dishes (namely the palak paneer) did not look or taste fresh at all. The 2 stars are simply for the rest of my family suggesting the food was decent-ish. side note: the allergen menu contained various spelling mistakes to which one of my family members joked about trusting whether it was accurate...probably should have taken him seriously.

My husband and I stayed at the hotel for 4 days in March 2014. We were treated like royalty by…read morestaff that seemed genuinely happy to be employed at The Mehfil. Places where the attitude is genuinely friendly and welcoming to its guests, but never too familiar are rare to come by, but at The Mehfil you'll find it. The food is a different chapter altogether. For breakfast we chose piping hot stuffed (potato or cauliflower) Parathas, which was served with yoghurt and a delicious tangy pickle. This was so yummy that we didn't even try their alternative, the full English breakfast, but i have to admit that from what i could see when i glanced briefly at the plates of other guests, it looked really good too. The Mehfil is food heaven if you're a fan of the Indian kitchen. When I think of us eating our evening meals there, I remember in a blur one sumptuous, gorgeous looking and divine- tasting meal after the other served by attentive waiters, and I really hope it's possible to attach pictures from my phone's gallery when I'm done writing. I will recommend this place no end, and look forward to our next visit. Incidentally, it's easy to get from the Mehfil to London Paddington. A 5 minute walk to the station, a 15 minute train ride and you're there, right in the centre of the touristy area, if that's what you're looking for.

Jeera rice a bit expensive. Vegetarian dishes almost the same price as meat dishes. You get good size portion, so it's good value for money. Plenty of covered outdoor seating. I liked the coconut mocktail a lot - cream, coconut syrup and lychee. Sounds so simple I could even try it at home. Ahh it was ever so refreshing. When I ordered it at the bar, the man behind the counter said we can't do the coconut mock tail, but we can do a narriyal mocktail, which is the same thing just in a different language - sigh. All this talk about coconuts reminds me of the time I bought coconut shampoo and then realised I don't even have a coconut to wash. They have a lot of good stuff on the menu, both classic and rare dishes.

We had constant issues getting in-touch with the guy who we booked our engagement with at Ashiana however when we did get through, we were re-assured it would be fine. Deposit was already paid so no backing out. However on the day of the engagement, the place was shut and the person (Ravi) who was supposed to get the decor ready for 9:30 was flat out drunk on the seats in the front of the venue sleeping. Finally once in, the bride-2-be had to get involved in getting the decor up - not something you want after spending 5 hours getting ready and already stressed about the event itself. To make things worse, the food was then late over an hour. Glasses ran out so plastic ones had to be used and when the bride/groom to be were to sit and eat at the end, half the dishes were finished. Several people also tripped on the dancefloor area due to no markings, one of them being a very elderly stroke vicitm. We also insisted the bar be kept shut down to the ceremony being religious yet it was opened at lunchtime - thankfully unaware guests of the request did drink outside - shame Ashiana did not have the same respect. Finally, we were promised 1 staff to tend per two tables, this did NOT happen and instead, family members had to end up serving water an basics to other guests. Food was also self-serv and not served as promised. We were recommended this place however will not be recommending ANYONE this place and a few friends have now backed out while they could in using this venue. If anything positive has to be said, inside is actually not too bad and guests did enjoy - shame about the management and staff.

The food was cold, bad service, may look good but it doesn't mean service would be the same. Do not trust them. Awful food, terrible uncooked meat. Stingy people act like cheap business and its run by two brothers. My in-laws were not happy with food shortage. I paid Azazi for extra 18 people still food shortage. Shocking and horrific, I had to get off the stage and serve my guest. I do not recommend this place. :(

Oh, how I miss The Drayton Court Hotel (insert heavy sigh of longing)…read more Our experience while staying at The Drayton Court, when visiting London for the 1st time (09/23/2023 - 09/26/2023), really was perfect & made our 1st international vacation that much more special. What makes The Drayton Court so special? See below for all the "Special-ness Specs"-- -Such a charming boutique hotel w/ all the London vibes (front of building is so pretty! See pics/videos posted w/ this review) - Historic (built in 1893) but doesn't feel outdated - Only has 26 rooms so no issues w/ noise, room was very clean & had a comfortable bed - It's a boutique hotel AND a pub (Fullers) all in one! Very convenient to grab some food and drinks at Fullers pub & then head back to your room afterwards. - Also has a beer garden! - Close to the West Ealing station..w/in walking distance - Great breakfast served in the Sitting Room - All employees were so friendly & very welcoming! The Drayton Court Hotel is definitely a hotel that I highly recommend for anyone to stay or just to visit Fullers Pub for some tasty food and drinks. Till next time, Rebecca
