Unfortunately, this is the worst restaurant we have ever visited and it spoiled our evening. We ordered poppadoms and drinks and the waiter who took our order was rude to us as he snorted at our order. A second waiter approached us several minutes later and, as we were making our choices from the menu, ordered us to put our menus away because he said we were putting poppadom crumbs and apple sauce on them. My husband and I then informed the waiter that we would not be eating in the restaurant and ordered the bill. When the bill arrived it included the drinks we had not drunk and the poppadoms we had hardly touched. When we told the waiter we thought we should not be expected to pay for the poppadoms he said we had to. Whilst my husband sat at the table and paid the bill I spoke to the manager and he said that the waiters had worked there for 20 years and this was the first time anyone had ever made a complaint and he confirmed we had to pay for the drinks and poppadoms we had hardly touched. By far the most disappointing service we have ever had and a very upsetting evening. Laura and Paul Visited this restaurant on Sunday 15 March.

Or possibly not. Mmm, food… :)
