"Camel One is one of those places that has been a Wilmslow Rd staple for a long time. We have eaten many times here and usually you get a good quality curry. More recently, last couple of times even though the food has still been good the service has declined. In particular the attitude of the staff is extremely sexist. Last time I visited, there were 2 wait staff that were doing something and didn't acknowledge me, I was first in line when 2 men walked in. Both male waiters asked each of the men for their order whilst totally ignoring me even though I was there first. A third waiter realised what they had done and sheepishly asked for my order. On this visit, I went in with my husband and even though I was closest to the guy on the till and was about to order, they totally ignored me once again and asked my husband what he wanted to order. We decided to go for a chicken curry with roti and the samosas on display looked delicious so we decided to opt for a meat and a veg samosa too all to take home. When we got home the curry was absolutely delicious couldn't fault it at all and it was extremely tasty. The samosas however were not great. They didn't look anywhere as nice as the shop either. It was clear that they had picked out some that didn't look anywhere as near as appetising as the shop. The summary is that the food is good but they need to get better at seeing their female customers and not just the men. For how they made me feel as a customer I can only give them 2 stars. Had it been based on the food (curry only) it would have been a 4."

"Absolutely terrible service. After being a customer for a very long time I had noticed a massive decline in standards over the past 18 months especially. There is no consistency from the chefs Sometimes the food has been nice then more often lately it has been very substandard.. There is ALWAYS something missing off home delivery orders too. My last order took about 2 hours to arrive and was completely stone cold and also had half of the order missing. It was totally inedible. I called up and politely asked if I could return it and get a refund. I was told they were very busy and he apologised and said that he would just replace my complete meal if I called another time but couldn’t refund me. I understand businesses are struggling since covid so agreed to this. The complete meal went in the bin. This evening I called and explained I chose tonight as it was a quieter evening for them and as I was eating alone asked for a lesser order as my replacement. I even asked for a half portion of onion bhajis (even though I had previously paid for a full portion and they didn’t even deliver them) He took my full order which only came to £14 and then had the audacity to say I could have a £4 discount!!! He actually said I needed to pay £10. He remembered our previous conversation but said he was no longer replacing any meals. He was really rude and completely refused to honour his promise. I assume that must be because he has so many complaints and unhappy customers now. His attitude was awful. I was prepared to try again but now II will NEVER use the place again. Don’t waste your money here."
