"I had a previous bad encounter with noodle box back last year when I was called a liar by the management. I ordered calamari and was sent some sort of round things. I rang up to obviously inform them of their mistake and the manager actually turned round and said you’re a liar we can tell the difference between calamari and the item I had been sent. I had to send a photo to the managers phone to show them what they sent and I was told oh well we can’t all be perfect as you obviously are. Tonight after begging from the children to order I gave in. The food was piping hot and in all fairness very tasty. However there was a portion of calamari missing. I rang the store straight away to inform them of their mistake and was told no you got what you ordered. I brought up my order on their app and once again was told I hadn’t ordered it. The manager then told me I couldn’t add up as I hadn’t been charged. Once I broke down my receipt to him and went through each addition separately he finally admitted defeat. I was then told at 18:22 the missing item would be with me within half an hour to an hour. I rang back at 19:31 to enquire where my food was and was told someone would call me back. 19:48 still no call so I rang back 4 times before my call was finally answered to be spoken to by the same gentleman I had initially spoken to and was told that it would be with me within 15 minutes. He telephoned me at 20:04 to be told he was just leaving the shop and he’d ring me when he was in my road and I could go out and collect it from him as he obviously can’t be bothered to bring it to my door. The food is great I’m not going to lie but the customer service is beyond appalling from the counter staff to the management. It’s now 20:17 and it’s only just turned up and was told we’ve given you a complimentary can...really?? I personally will NEVER order off this restaurant and I really suggest people follow suit. I can honestly say I’ve never been treated as poorly by any other restaurant or takeaway and I really suggest the management look at their own attitude and management skills and then look at the whole staff as a complete unit. Bad management is toxic and it shows in the way your staff treat your customers. Absolutely hands the worst customer service in the whole of Cardiff."

"Banyan on the Thames is a nomenclatural inexactitude because the banyan tree is an inhabitant of the Indian subcontinent, rather than being passed off as a floating ficus on the Thames. Belonging as it does to the fig family, the original banyan drops spectacular aerial roots from its branches to the ground beneath its immense verdant canopy, producing a most unique treat for the eyes. The name of this tree has been appropriated by the Raphael on the Left Bank hotel in London for its restaurant. Maybe it aptly symbolises the roots of the restaurant being in the subcontinent. What strikes one about the place on first sight is someone's apparent obsession with the Medusa, signifying the Versace brand, which appears on every table top and virtually all over. The second striking feature is the artificial grass laid out both indoors and outside in the so called “garden” where there is a profusion of fake flowers, creepers and shrubs. It looks tacky and creepy and screams fake. The atmosphere in the so called garden, was not helped by the music played at decibels that are designed to hurt the ear drums. Food was fair to middling in quality, taste and presentation. The standard of service was reasonable. On the other hand, the location is magical. You can spend quite a while looking out through the large glass windows as the world goes by. The Thames flows quietly, more water under Battersea bridge, while you are people watching. And if you are feeling energetic, one has the opportunity of course to refresh oneself by striding along the Thames in the company of others who may be ambling, jogging and strolling. In conclusion, it’s really nothing to write home about"
