"I was curious to go first after kamal as I went vegan, since I was there all the time when I was vegetarian and I really loved eating and the atmosphere. we were mainly served by a just waitress that I realized from her work there when I had visited before. I always found her very pleasant, but at this visit she was very rude from the beginning. I understand that people have bad days, but they just didn't seem to worry, never smiled or said thank you and seemed chewing gum when she served us. I asked them about vegan options, as there was a declaration before the menu to ask about vegan food and I had also seen really great reviews on travel advisors. When I asked her, she looked at me and replied, I don't know. without cream like sweet curry or chicken curry. I don't think I could hide my disappointment, so she said she'd go to the kitchen to ask. I then saw her walking around in the restaurant and didn't see her at all near the kitchen. she came back and said: her vegetable curry and maybe, I don't know, balti? I decided it would be safer to go with the sweet curry that was in order, but essentially frozen vegetables cooked in the watery curry. the rice was the best part of the meal. my sister ordered two vegetarian dishes that looked much better. the only redeeming factor of the visit was a second waitress, which served us and a man at the reception, who were very pleasant. I am so disappointed about this experience because, as I said, I had always come to kamal and had a great atmosphere earlier. I was worried that we wouldn't even get a table on a Saturday night, but there was another couple when we arrived and one when we were gone. the service was quite shocking and I think if they advertise as vegan options, then this must be more than a herbal curry. I am not sure, however, whether this was the fault of the kitchen or the waitress, which did not interfere in the least about the question. I really hope that kamal’s will improve, as I would like to go back sometime and have the dishes and experiences I loved earlier!"

"The worst Indian meal we have ever had, it was a disgrace, to start with the Poppadoms were not fresh, the relishes were awful, salad was tasteless chopped lettuce and onion, Raita was yellow, tasteless and stale, the mango chutney was not good at all!! The next course was mixed kebab, it was horrible with some lettuce thrown into the bottom of a dish and 2 cubes of chewy lamb, 2 cubes of tasteless dry chicken and a sheek kebab, then to top off a disastrous meal, the main course arrived, this was an absolute disgrace, the worst curry I have had in my life, it was supposed to be chicken madras which consisted of a watery sauce that hadn't been spiced at all, the chicken was dry and plain with no spices or herbs whatsoever, I took one taste of it and sent it back!!! Needless to say I will never be going back to the Kashmir Indian Restaurant in Christchurch. Continued: Just to clarify the owners reply, we are not liars just truthful honest people wanting a decent Indian meal, we spoke to the waiter with our complaint and he took the madras meal back to the kitchen to show the chef, then returned saying the chef was very sorry and proceeded to refund a portion of the bill, also to clarify we didn't book a table, we called in at 6pm on 14th November 2023 and asked if they could fit us in on a table for 2, the waiters reply was yes and he proceeded to give us a menu. I take offence to being called a liar, this just proves to me that you are very rude and have very poor management skills!! A word of advice, accept criticism from your customer's, they are your bread and butter, take their comments on board to improve your business, to drive them away by being rude is not a good business strategy!!"
