I have been coming to the Riverside on and off for my curry fix when I come for an English visit from the states for years now. They are consistently good. However during this visit I was not as impressed as I normally am. Although I enjoyed my food, it was not as good as I previously remembered. The starter was a little bit dry so I used some sauce from my curry. When the server came back I asked him is it possible to have some extra sauce please, and he just said "no!" Which I felt was quite rude. No conversation about it, just a plain no. I would have been very happy to have paid for said sauce, but was not even given the option! I felt quite off put.
Because of this experience I have tried another establishment since, in Wells and preferred it, and I will now make that my go to for Indian food. Out of respect I am not going to say this establishment's name. Normally I would have given 5 stars for the Riverside as I have been here for years and never been disappointed, but One star was removed for the reasons given above. How ever, do come here, as they have been in business for years, and they also have their own private car park. read more
