    I recently dined at Toros and had an extremely disappointing and distressing experience. I ordered…read morethe lamb chops and asked for them to be cooked medium rare, however, they were served rare, and within hours of consuming them, I was struck with severe food poisoning. The lamb chops were undercooked and clearly not handled with proper care. In our opinion, the meat was frozen and was not left out to thaw properly which ended up in the food being raw. As a result, I have been extremely ill, had to go to the doctors and unable to work. This incident has caused significant disruption to my life and livelihood. I strongly urge Toros to review their food handling and preparation procedures to ensure this does not happen to anyone else. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend this restaurant to others! Ruined date night! Not worth the £61 I paid for a starter and 2 mains! Also did not provide free tap water for the table!! Also, they do not take card payments, they expect the bill to be paid in cash. I didn't have cash and they said that I could bank transfer the money to which they gave me someone's bank details and after I had transferred the money, they rang this person to make sure that the money had gone through. This whole experience was very shady and on the lines of tax evasion!!!!!!

    We used to visit Toros often and love it! Now under new management I believe, it's gone downhill…read more Everything was just off. Waiters were nice but played with their hair the whole time writing down orders or when talking to customers, the food was tasteless and not the same, the cleanness was poor as there was a table when we came that needed cleaning but stayed as it is until we almost left which was annoying while eating. Overall, I wouldn't be visiting this chain again as we didn't really enjoy it.

    My sister asked me where I wanted to go for my birthday and I was excited too see that there is a…read moreBrazilian Rodizio in Peterborough. I reside in the states and have visited various Brazilian restaurants including Texas De Brazil - which if you visit America I highly recommend. I was sorely disappointed with Samba Brazil. The "salad bar" was almost nonexistent compared with the vast variety I have seen at other Brazilian places, and as for the four items on the hot plates, they were unappetizing and the rice was cold and hard. I had some on my plate with pork which was also luke warm at best. This doesn't surprise me as the food is located right by the front door where the cold air comes in! When we complained about this to the owner he tested the temperature and stated that it was 65 degrees. (Which has now been put on Facebook under my sisters review as 77 degrees, this is incorrect!) Even so, while this may have been true for the bottom of the pan, the top was cold and was inedible regardless. I might also add that at this time we had been in the restaurant for approximately 15 minutes served a £2.20 coke from the can, plated our "food" from the buffet and then told the meat would be another 5-10 minutes. I refused to let my sister pay £23.99 per person for this lacking and appalling spread when it doesn't justify its self, wish I had taken pictures. Fortunately we left and had a delicious meal elsewhere. As for the other "groups" it was 7:30 pm on a Saturday night, there was two other people on another table. While waiting outside for our taxi we noticed two additional people walk in, and five minutes walked back out. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant The owner as claimed we were after a free meal. This is laughable at best. We complained at the beginning of our meal after we waited for management to come to our table. He was rude and argumentative. We then, as we had already decided left this restaurant as the food we had seen thus far didn't leave much to be desired. If one was "after a free meal" they surely would complain at the end after eating their fill. This is a sorry attempt by the owner which I have seen him claim on other bad reviews. He has also claimed we hate half of ours plates. Again this is false. We did not eat but a couple of bites which left s bad taste in our mouths. I refuse to pay for something that is not editable. We left before the meat was served, because even though we had prebooked, and been in the place for 10-15 minutes at this point the meat was still going to be 5-10 minutes. Not that I have to justify myself but we left this restaurant and went to a local restaurant in Peterborough which has been around for 30+ years which was lovely. I don't foresee this for this restaurant. Sorry. As for the owners claims of our reviews being fake reviews. I don't see how a customers experience and then posting about it is FAKE. Take the bad review and do better! Your food, service and attitude is poor. Best of luck!

    Went here with my daughter and granddaughter. We were enticed in by the billboard outside…read moreadvertising "All you can eat pizza". This was at approximately 2pm. Once settled inside we asked for the "all you can eat pizza" only to be told it didn't start until 4pm (no mention of this on the billboard). So after careful consideration we both ordered "The Beast" - described as all the meats (burger, chicken, bacon and much more). As we both believed this would be filling, we decided not to pay the extra £3 each to upgrade the burger to include fries and onion and slaw. Instead we ordered a side of fries (£2) to share. After waiting almost an hour for the food to arrive. We were disappointed with the presentation. Daughter's chicken was part cooked. Both meals were cold. The fries were also cold. Daughter then looked closer at her meal and realised there was no bacon. Managed to get the attention of a member of staff. Complained about the food not being cooked properly, pointed out that the description on menu stated "burger, chicken, bacon, cheese, pulled pork, pickles and onion rings" however the meal we were given lacked cheese, pickles and bacon. The member of staff apologised and took both meals away. The same staff member returned shortly after with the SAME meal. Daughter's chicken was STILL raw!!! I was annoyed, upset and disappointed. The raw chicken would have contaminated the rest of the meal. I had fully expected a completely replaced burger. Alas not. As a softer, when the food was returned I was told that chef was sorry and that the meal could be half price! Totally annoyed. I went to the serving counter where I was ignored by 3 staff refusing to give me eye contact. Eventually 1 came over. I explained the situation. Said I was happy to pay for my granddaughter's hot dog, the extra portion of fries and the drinks. However I would NOT pay for the disgusting burgers. The environment was clean. Temperature freezing. Staff totally ignorant. Wouldn't recommend not even to my enemy!
