"Good Friday, 2023. A lovely sunny day. We were sat near the window so that 3 of us experienced being blinded by the sun they could seriously do with blinds. Food came in dribs and drabs. Our starters arrived about 10 minutes after each other. If they are supposed to be individually served, this is unacceptable, as they ought to come together. If, as was suggested, they are supposed to be “like tapas”, surely they ought to be priced per person and served with sufficient portions for each member of the party to enjoy. Not terribly well thought out. Having experienced tapas elsewhere (including Spain) never have I had to endure one portion of tapas delivered 10 minutes before the proceeding one. The food itself was good and flavourful, but I’ve had “samples” from restaurants that were more filling. Cannoli… well a singular cannolo came with all the appearance of being a genuine article, but turned out to be hollow with a tablespoon of ricotta stuffing at the beginning and end, nothing but dry air in the middle! For £7.50! Surely the profit on these is sufficient to put another 20p’s worth of ricotta in them? A half arsedly stuffed cannoli… akin to the sandwiches you buy at railway stations, which look full, but turn out to have a concertina’d, thin, single slice of ham carefully positioned along the cutting edge! Grossly disappointed with that one! An insult to your customers, I won’t be back, and won’t be singing the praises of this place. 10/10 for flavour. 1/10 for effort."

"Good evening, I am writing this review about this restaurant to express my bad experience and such a big disappointment that me and my family got from visiting this place. I want to mention that me and my partner and our both kids one age of seven months and the other one age of two and another friend of ours we have decided to go out for a nice meal considering that we cannot afford such things anymore as it’s hard as it is with all the living costs rising and considering that my partner has been in mat leave for nearly two years now so we have made an effort to go out with all these factors and hoped for a nice Tuesday evening avoiding other busy days as it’s hard as it is going out with two such young kids We have spent about two hours being there and the children’s have been as settled as they can be. After we have paid we were getting ready to leave but it took us time as we had to clean after the kids. In a space of ten minute the two year old child has started running around the restaurant but I have always been behind him to make sure he’s safe, he has done this for about 5 minutes, the restaurant didn’t seem too busy so I just let him consume some energy as he has been behaving and sitting at the table for nearly two hours. At some point this employer called Paulo stood in front of my child to stop him from running and turned around to me and stated with a rude tone “ There is other people eating here “, at this point I couldn’t believe how rude he has been. I have then stated that this is not a comment to make especially as no client has come to him to mention any disturbances and that the child is two so this is not fair at all and I consider that there is no need to say this as we were just about to leave anyway. Why did you ruin our family time Paulo ? Do you even have kids Paulo ? I hope when you would go out next time someone to ruin your night as you did for my family and made us feel disgusted that there is people like you. And above all who are you to stand in front of my child to stop him ? Unfortunately I might have been harsh however I want people to know that if you plan a family night this place is definitely to avoid as it’s not a family friendly place !"

"Almost left within 5 minutes of entry, shown to a table and given menus. After looking for the wine list within the menu, because we were not offered a drink or offered the drink menu, I gestured to the waiter for drinks. He was chatting to a member of staff and very abruptly asked me to wait, so I then verbally asked for the wine list. He again very abruptly asked me to wait. There were 3 other customers on one table in the entire restaurant. I talked myself out of leaving, wished I had, the service leaves something to be desired. We ordered and waited, and waited. Almost 25 minutes. Wouldn’t like to be here when it’s busy! The starters were very good, in fact my king prawn purée was up there with the best. But then we waited again for our mains. My Madras was very tame as was the Naga we ordered. My partner doesn’t like a fuss so just ate his meal, very disappointed. I requested my madras be hotted up. It was taken and brought back hotter. No problem? Yes! there was no polish, no attention to detail, no care. Personally, I have never been treated with so much almost arrogance. We requested the bill and again waited for ages and it was incorrect when it came. It was corrected and brought back. I went to the counter to pay by card. Something we never do. We always pay cash to small businesses. We also always leave a tip. Not today. When asked if everything ok I replied no. He asked why ?so I vaguely commented because I just wanted to get out of there. I don’t know how they would explain the poor service. But in 2 words maybe I can. Meerkat offer! Guys a lesson you may want to learn from my dear departed Dad. Treat every customer like it is their only meal out in a year. Like a special occasion, anniversary or birthday and you can’t go wrong. PS obviously changed hands from the lovely brothers who made you so welcome."
