"Attended a pre wedding party yesterday evening on August hosted by the Nandas (please check with the host and don’t deny the fact that this party ever happened or I did not attend like you do in response to your other reviews). To start with, horribly slow starter service. For a table service one would expect either the food to be replenished quickly or at least bought out when asked. Here you get a response, “wait, it’s being cooked.” No please, no sorry, in short, no manners. Here’s the real problem though. A restaurant of this size says, we have run out of Chicken Nuggets for kids. Who doesn’t have spare nuggets in the kitchen? And if not, should you not offer more chips instead? Keeping kids hungry is just not done. The mains were just okay quality/quantity wise but nowhere near their restaurant food. We have been to the restaurant many times and hence our expectations were a bit high, probably different chefs for restaurant and parties or whatever. But no complaints in general on mains and desserts. The final nail in the coffin. After dancing, I go to the bar asking for WATER. The very NICE lady says, “we don’t have any water jugs back here.” I ask for TAP WATER instead. She goes, “We don’t have any glasses.” I can clearly see at least crates of nice clean glasses behind the bar. Tired and really thirsty, I go to the other side near the kitchen end asking a waiter for water. Her response is even more alarming. NO WATER IN THE KITCHEN. Even my year old would not buy this answer. I really demand an explanation on the reason for not providing the most basic necessity to your guests. It was at night and did not want to raise it back then at the venue but without any explanation to this, I doubt anyone reading this review will ever want to host a party with Venue unless THE HOSTS ARE READY TO TAKE ABOUT BOTTLES OF LITRE WATER WITH THEM. In a nutshell, Venue did all they could to ruin the evening for the lovely couple.For anyone thinking to host an event here in the future, I am more than happy to come forward and share my experience in more details. YES, there was more than this but not trivial."

"A recent discovery for me is this beautiful Indian restaurant, which I rank up there with the best in Manchester, situated in the heart of Didsbury Village. Curries are without doubt my favourite food, so I've had a good few and since working for Yelp I have set myself the task of really locating the finest curry houses in Manchester. The Original Third Eye fully deserves to enter in at the top, alongside my other favourites, Punjab in Rusholme, Moon in Withington, and The Original Lal Qila on Deansgate. See my list for the run down. The name Original Third Eye comes from one of the finest restaurants in Kathmandu, though it is also a reference to the concept of the all Seeing Eye, a central emblem of Buddhist thought that is depicted on many temples and shrines throughout Nepal. The restaurant itself is large, and spacious, with authentic decoration and a smart, but still nicely informal, table arrangement. The food is literally unbelievable. Needless to say they sell all the usual traditional curry dishes, including an extensive fish list, but the main specialties are something new and unusual, a curry with a little something extra, taking it to that next level of joy and producing happiness and glee in their very consumption. The kidney kebab starter for example, combines classic kebab spices with beautiful marinated lamb kidney. Also beautiful is the Third Eye Tangri, which mixes chicken with minced lamb and nuts, a surprising and beautiful combination. In terms of mains, go directly to either the seafood menu or the Third Eye Specials section, on which everything is gorgeous. The piece de resistance, is the Murghi Masala, a whole chicken marinated in wonderful spices. This dish is so precisely crafted, that you in fact need to give 24 hours notice, and at least two people need to share it. I think that epitomizes this restaurant's absolute class. So I end on that note."

"I went to dinner with a friend to celebrate my new job. Unfortunately from start to end it was not a good experience. A waiter took our drinks order and part of our food order, my diet coke was flat and I asked him to change it which he did. I received a can instead which was warm and poured it into the glass of minimal ice and a thin slice of lemon, immediately the warm coke melted the ice and so the coke had no taste. I asked him what fish was in the Tandoori curry and he did not know, he stood there for a while then decided to go and ask, it was Tilapia. Then another waiter came over and asked to take our order, we told him that we had already given it to the other waiter, nevertheless we proceeded to repeat ourselves and he noted it on his I Pad. At this point we were confused and left wondering why the first waiter had not returned, it may be that he was new and confused himself, very strange. My friend ordered the prawn biriyani and okra curry, she said the biriyani was nice, but her okra skin was tough and inedible, she had to squeeze out the contents of it. My tilapia curry was very disappointing, there were very few pieces of fish in there and it was hot but very bland, my cauliflower curry had more taste than it. It was clear to me that their ingredients were far inferior than others I have visited, there was no authentic taste at all. Another negative was that one of the waiters welcomed 2 customers, and it seemed that one was celebrating a birthday, he may have known them from before because he spent plenty of time chatting to them but ignoring other customers, this is very unprofessional. I work in the hospitality industry and I would never spend a vast amount of my time speaking to just one table of customers. My advice to them would be to seek someone to train the staff professionally on their conduct and service, as it is all about the customer experience if they want them to return and write positive reviews. Also seek suppliers who can offer more quality products, prices to customers may have to increase but it will improve their reputation."
