We used to eat here all the time when it was called Maize & Jair. We haven't been in since it changed hands and fancied a takeaway last night, so thought, give it a try.
Its changed a lot inside with some nice furnishings, but sadly, I think they forgot to paint the woodwork, it looked dirty to be honest. Not to worry, we ordered food for take out.
My first thoughts were the menu, whilst extensive, is a bit pricey for takeaway food. We ordered and sat down to wait. To be fair, the food was cooked in a reasonable time, however, what we saw next had to be seen to be believed.
They guy who served us, went into the kitchen, obviously washed his hands and then came back out into the restaurant. He then walked up to a table, which had been set for customers to use, and promptly dried his hands on the table cloth!!!!!!!
It got worse, his colleague went to clear some plates from a table, carried them towards the kitchen and promptly placed them on top of the container where all the clean knives and forks were. Food was dropping off the side!
Its not often that I am lost for words, but this was unbelievable. If I hadn't already ordered and paid for our food, I would have have walked out and left.
The staff just stood around chatting on their mobiles!!!!!!
Never again would I eat anything from this place, what I saw convinced me that Hygiene is clearly not at the front of their mind, and explains why they were only given a 4 on the food hygiene rating.
Disgusting place!!!! read more
