1. In terms of the food, we found the meal to be passable, if a little substandard. One of our curries seemed to be sprinkled with sugar and was so sweet that my partner had to brush her teeth afterward. You could actually taste the crunch of the sugar. The mixed kebab appetizer was acceptable, if a little bland.
2. In terms of the service, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Our evening began with a heated argument between the waiter and a customer. After the customer left (having not ordered any food), the waiter seemed irate, unapologetic, and continued to act aggressively throughout the evening. I found him to be very confrontational, and he actually made my partner feel uncomfortable. After taking our order, the waiter wandered about the restaurant holding the paper, and took a good 15 minutes to actually take it to the kitchen. Needless to say he puts the 'wait' in 'waiter'. Our food arrived an hour afterward, and by this time we were fed up and couldn't enjoy it.
3. In terms of the venue, Poppadom is a tiny, drafty place. We kept our coats on throughout. It is regrettable that we did not order take-out. Possibly from a different restaurant.
Finally, afraid to complain about our flat coke, we decided to forgo leaving a tip. read more
