A group of 12 of us ate at the Spicy Tadka on thurs 11th Jan '24. this was pre-booked and agreed that each couple could have a separate tab for making payment. This was then changed to each couple paying at the time of ordering. Which was fine, but confusing to arrange with the language barrier. We ordered poppadoms and they were clearly not freshly made. The chutneys were really odd and like nothing we have had an an indian restaurant before. A mint sauce, a chilli 'something' we thought maybe beetroot and a paste that we 'think' was mango chutney. Only 2 of these 3 tiny pots were served for 12 of us. Actually, we didn't like them, so that was fine, but on first arrival, we though this was stingy. A few of us had the onion bhaji's as starters. They were clearly not freshly cooked. Hard, dry and luke warm. no side salad which is also unusual and made the presentation just 2 balls of onion look odd. I asked for Chicken Rhogan Josh. When it was served I was told that's what I was given. So I put it onto my mushroom rice, took a spoonful and it nearly blew my head off! my eyes were watering and my cheeks went pink. Everyone found that very amusing. Then we realised that I had been given my partners Chicken Naga! so we swapped plates. I ended up with his bland and bright yellow Pilau Rice and the runniest Rhogan Josh ever. No tomatoes or onion identifiable. 3 tiny pieces of chicken. My partner said his was nothing like a naga either. Just a very hot and runny curry. As soon as we got home my partner said he didn't feel well. He has now been up all night sick, sweating and with a very upset tummy. So all in all, a dreadful meal! we won't be going back there.

We made an early booking, as we were going to the theatre. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Food was delicious, and lots of it. We will definitely go again and spend more time there.

Really disappointed with the quality of food in view of the awards this restaurant has, plus service was slow and not particularly friendly or welcoming. Won't be going back.

Great food, really tasty. The main let-down was the amount of pickles/sauces provided with the poppadoms...for 4 healthy-appetite blokes, the 3 little pots of sauce were way-too small. Otherwise, fabulous place.

The food was really nice, but the length of time to get our food was very long, it was hard to get staff's attention and our starters were brought out at different times. One of the starters was missing so after waiting ages we managed to get someone to bring one out to us, but we were then charged extra for that starter. It was rectified eventually, but the service needs to be raised to be in line with the lovely food.

Excellent food, excellent service and a good price. Went for the Diwali buffet so eat as much as you like for a set price. Tried food that I wouldn't normally try - some I liked, some I didn't but that's the joy of a buffet (took a tiny bit if things I didn't know and went back for more of those that I liked - can't bear waste).

Arrived to be told table had been moved by 30 mins, apparently been called but received no call from restaurant. Place looked untidy and unorganised. Temp gun for Covid was present but not used once whilst we were there. Service overall was poor and we had to keep asking for missing product. One meal arrived as vegetarian when we ordered chicken, replaced with cold food. Replaced again and was okay, also not charged for inconvenience. The rest of the food was good though.
