"We were recommended the White Hart. We arrived for a 7.30 table and found parking difficult. The place is a pub so it has a good number of drinkers as well as diners which we found a little off-putting as it felt more like pub grub than a restaurant. We sat down and awaited menus etc. The wine list is quite basic and didn't feel like a wine list for this type of restaurant. We ordered a bottle of wine and our food. When we ordered I asked for 6 poppadoms to be had whilst waiting, these never arrived. The starter arrived ONE HOUR after ordering. We asked about the dealy and we were told that the takeaways were taking 45 minutes (this did not help as we were a restaurant diner this was a poor excuse and made us even more disappointed in the response) We ordered the Gurkha Special starter which is £12.95. This was a mixed tandoor type of starter. The prawn was very overcooked, the chicken was OK, the lamb was tasty. It lacked a sauce or dip. For main my partner had a Chicken Tikka Masala which when it arrived looked like chunky tomato soup, and it tasted very bland and the sauce was very runny. It has a funny aftertaste and was just not great! I ordered the Nepalese Lamb Curry which was amazing but after waiting an hour for the starter and then getting our main 10 minutes after it did not make up for the mistakes! The rice was good. The Garlic naan didn't taste of garlic at all. The bill for 2 with a bottle of wine was £60.00 which was OK if it had been better, for the service and quality of food this was expensive in my opinion. The restaurant staff is young and very helpful but the management seems to be lacking. We would not go back."

"My brother ordered this as we are on a stag/hen weekend,The main celebration starts a dat after so 8 of us decided to get a table, The main issue we had was the person taking the order did not really speak good English so he had to keep coming back to check the order, and this was just the drinks. It was very confusing for us and him and 2 people still never received their drinks. After nearly 1 hour of waiting and still not explaining the set meal properly we gave up and left to go to another Buffet restaurant Anneesa and it was great, I always worry when you are the only people in at between 7 and 8 pm. My brother made the decision to call it a day and to be fair their set menu for two ranges from £20:50 each up to around £45 each. WE called the other restaurant while waiting and they got us straight in. The difference was amazing, the place was fresh and lots of people but that will be in another review. The lady who was going to prepare the food at the Chinese restaurant was mortified and you could see she was genuinely sorry for the issues. My advise is to get front of house staff that actually understand what you are selling as he did not know the menu or how the set menu worked, It maybe be a training need you can work with him on but ultimately that cost you the best part of £300 to £400 pounds when you take into consideration the drinks we planned to have too and as we had been the only custom in an hour things did not look great. I think also you need to raise your 3 star food hygiene rating as this too will put people off. ALSO WE NEVER SAW THE KARAOKE AND THATS WHY WE ORIGINALLY WENT."
