Completely agree with the recent reviews. After hearing nothing but praise, I talked my family into going here rather than the curry mile.
The staff were friendly and welcoming and I genuinely thought the service was good throughout. However, with great Indian food you expect a great Indian atmosphere. When seated in the lounge area there was something about the place that just screamed modern family pub. Hard to put my finger on exactly... perhaps it was the 42" plasma showing Bolton v Stoke. The bar (and to an extent the eating area) really diminishes the authenticity of its' acclaimed Indian fine dining.
We were hoping that the quality of food would save the day, but unfortunately it didn't. To be fair the food wasn't atrocious, just extremely disappointing
For an Indian restaurant which boasts a multitude of prestigious awards to not only look like a Weatherspoons, but to actually deliver a similar quality of food just isn't worth a second visit.
