This is the first review I have ever given or wanted to give a restaurant!! I eat out regularly and have experienced some bad service and food but never like this place!!!
Where do I start.........
Me and my boyfriend first walked into the restaurant, no one was there to greet us or sit us down, we had to walk into the second bit of the restaurant where we asked the bar man if we could be seated! At the time there was only one other table of people in the restaurant who shortly left after we were seated! The restaurant was empty yet they had up to 8 waiters doing absolutely nothing, they were slow giving us menus, taking our order, giving our drinks, we both asked for a coke, when they finally brought them over we were given a glass and a can of coke each, they didn't open the can's of coke or even pour them for us, I would expect that kind of service from a take away restaurant not a restaurant in Knightsbridge! We ordered a few hot Mezze dishes for starters, you would think they would bring out all the mezze dishes at the same time, ours weren't they were brought out 5 minutes after each other and then we had to pester them for the sauce we had ordered that they hadn't given us!
By the time our main courses came there were a few more tables of people but the waiters just stood around chatting to each other and looked like they were telling each other jokes! When we received our mains we were very disappointed with the portion sizes, we ordered the mixed grill so were expecting a large portion as you usually would get with this dish but the portions we were given were tiny and brought out on tiny plates yet cost £16 a dish, The chicken was dry and over cooked, the lamb was dry and chewy and the lamb kofte was cold in fact the whole dish was cold, I then sat there for 30 minutes with no drink! Not one person came over to us and asked us how our food was, if we wanted more drinks, no one cleared the table or asked us if we wanted to see the desert menu! When we asked for the bill and paid we were getting our coats on ready to leave and they had the cheek to wait around the table like they were checking if we were leaving a tip!
Overall the waiters were rude and arrogant and the food was below average and definitely overpriced! We will NEVER be going to this restaurant again!! AVOID!!!! read more
