Overall Score: Did not score please see review
Cost: Too much for the quality of food.
NOT RECOMMENDED
As you will see from the above, all curry club members felt that the meal we had at this restaurant did not merit a score as the food was so poor.
Following last weeks visit to The Curry Leaf we were told by the owner of the Magna that we should try his restaurant and he uttered the immortal words "if you don't like the food then you wont have to pay for it" - bear that comment in mind as your read our experience.
Arrived and our first impression was the smell as we were shown to our seats, a table for four, Lee's father in law joining us.
PICKLES
Adequate, nothing special, lime pickle a disappointment.
STARTERS
Starters ordered and not good, all of the dishes poor, every one of them had a problem. Simon's Prawn Puri was dry and had a very powdery taste. Tony's pepper much the same as was Lees - ate them hoping that the main course would be greatly improved.
MAIN COURSE
Unfortunately the mains were poor too, Simon's Chicken Korahi not nice, again the overriding flavour was one of a harsh powdery taste, not at all good. The Mutter Paneer was dreadful, overcooked frozen peas coated in a curry powder. Lee's meal so bad that he did not eat it nor have any for his lunch for the following day. Tony's meal not good either - the worst meal that the SLT Curry Club have experienced since their formation in 2008.
We made our complaints to the two waiters, the first one did nothing apart from say that no one else had complained and that he would tell the chef! The second waiter took the plates away as we entered into negotiations about the payment. We were adamant that the food was so poor that we were not going to pay - duly noted by the waiter, who returned with a revised bill of £65 (£20 discount). We reopened negotiations and after much deliberation it was agreed that we would pay for the drinks and nothing else. Interestingly the waiter informed us that there were 10 brain surgeons also in the restaurant and that they had not complained.
All in all an awful meal, which we did not feel we were able to mark as it was so poor. Unheard of for Lee to leave a curry - beer good.
