"Very surprised to read some of the reviews from visitors at TigerBay Shisha and Carlton Lounge as we have always had excellent service and the food is some of the best Indian dishes we have had.We were seated inside the TigerBay Shisha Lounge however as this has open sides all round and even an open roof in warmer days or nights, we felt completely safe and COVID protected. The evening was very busy but had a great atmosphere and we didn’t feel cramped or as if we were too near to other customers. The music especially with the appearance of DJ Shraii gives something a little bit extra special than other venues.All members of staff wore face masks and we noticed they politely reminded any customers to use their masks when not seated at their tables.The food is always hot and you can hear the sizzle plates sizzling as the food is served. Portions are really generous and we usually find it hard choosing from all the delicious dishes on offer.The mocktails are especially good and the fruity versions topped with fresh and sweet fruit. We have not tried the Shisha varieties however talking to people we met last week, they said the choices are good and flavours excellent quality. So even without Shisha being available at the moment under Covid rules, TigerBay Shisha Lounge is a great venue.We are looking forward to spending many more summer evenings especially in the garden area which is beautifully filled with gorgeous plants and makes you feel you are on holiday and not just on an evening out.Keep doing what you do so well TigerBay Shisha and Carlton Lounge."

"The food at this restaurant is made fresh to order. The Dal could use a bit more salt, but it was still good when paired with rice. The standout aspect of this place is the excellent service. The host even went above and beyond to create a new mocktail for a colleague who did not like the Virgin Colada. The food may take a bit longer to be served since it is made to order, but it is definitely worth the wait. I highly recommend this restaurant for its exceptional service and fresh, made-to-order food."

"The food is good, when it is fresh. I go there for an occasional Dosa and Vada. On a number of occasions they have served stale chutneys and dosa filling. Yesterday, the dosa arrived within a minute of ordering and it was cold to touch. I asked them to replace it. The replacement was warm but not crisp. I ordered Vada for takeaway. Since they were busy and taking time to bring the check, I opened the package and decided to eat it. The chutneys were clearly a few days old. The excuse they gave was that they get packed in the morning (not). They then brought the fresh chutneys. I was not delighted paying £22. It’s a hit and miss. I would say insist on bringing fresh food if you find it stale or cold. There is no other accessible place for Dosa, so when I am craving it, I’m forced to go there and hope it will be fresh."

"I have to say I was very surprised how bad my experience was with the Spice Merchant was. It started very badly with the food taking two hours to be delivered. This was after several calls over that period where we were told that the food was on its way and should be with us in five minutes. That was a bad start but the food was just as bad. The only saving grace were the starters of chicken lamb lollipops which were tasty. The main courses were all very disappointing, lacking spice and flavour. They were also swimming in oil. The breads were also flavourless. I don’t like to give reviews like this but in this case it is well deserved especially as it was extremely expensive. £150 for five people. For that kind of money it should have been allot better. Worst curry I have had I recent memory! Service: Delivery Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £30–40"

"this was once a goal resturant, as it has stood in mumbai and london also had one in new delhi. it is not maintained with the time. decor was bad with dirty carpets and eating on the floor. only two waiters for the entire dinner service. the food was full salt and the naan was not prepared in a traditional tandoor over. my family visited the sites in neu delhi and mumbai and expected a similar environment in london. sad I will not return."

"very nice restaurant. love the interiors. beautiful looking place with a bar. and apparently they soon open a Sheesha lounge and look forward to it! had a great experience here. Eat: we started with Indian ingwer and Masala tea, which was really good, and pappadum. for the main course we ordered chicken tikka masala and a fried rice, dhaba chicken and pilaureis and Karahi sprout with plain naan. I must say we were not disappointed by any of the dishes. the food was delicious and portioned enough to fill it completely. price: a little expensive, too little for us students, but I would say it worth it. service: the staff is very polite and beautiful! very happy with the service. definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves or wants to try good Indian food!"

"We sat in one of the pods, which were fantastic, and the food was absolutely delicious. However, we had to wait an hour and a half for our starters and nearly an hour for our mains, which was quite excessive, especially given the high prices. Despite this, we will definitely be returning and have recommended it to everyone we've talked to, as the food was truly that good."

"what a powerhouse of delicious aromen! most visited by leeds and discovered this incredible restaurant. we were not sure what to order as some of the courts were completely unknown to us, but we were led by a very helpful waiter/owner? who helped us choose. what a delicious meal we had! the aromen were quite simple from this world. we have nothing in comparison to leeds. next time we come to some places without a shadow of doubt. well done arnero, they are amazing!"

"We stopped by for lunch while exploring the area. At first, I thought the restaurant was closed because it was so quiet, but the manager greeted us warmly. We ordered some Bombay-style snacks to nibble on, and they were quite spicy (I usually avoid spicy foods), but very enjoyable nonetheless. My partner's chicken starter was a bit too salty for our taste (we try to limit salt for health reasons), but the chef came over to chat with us and generously offered to prepare another chicken starter right away. He also adjusted our mains to suit our preferences. The mango lassi was delicious, as was the virgin piña colada. The portion sizes were great too (pictures were taken after we finished eating)."

"The Indian cuisine at this restaurant is fantastic. The staff is highly informed and helpful, and the majority of the menu items are gluten-free (unfortunately, naan bread is an exception). Overall, it's a wonderful place to visit, and they make a point to confirm that your meal is gluten-free when serving it."

"The food at this restaurant is excellent and served in a charming atmosphere. The service is top-notch and the spicy onions that come with the poppadoms are exceptional. Definitely worth a visit, even if it means taking a slight detour."

"We dined as a group of eight on a Sunday to celebrate a birthday. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow and the food was just average. There was only one other party of three in the restaurant at the same time, so I’m puzzled as to why everything took so long. Additionally, the prices were quite high for the quality of the food and service we received. We won’t be coming back for a while."

"The restaurant is stunning, featuring beautiful decor and exceptionally attentive staff. The food is delicious, freshly prepared, and beautifully presented. Overall, the dining experience is excellent, and the prices are quite reasonable. However, the drinks are a bit on the pricey side, which is my only complaint about the venue."

"This is the best Indian food we have had anywhere outside my mother inn laws kitchen. Authentic flavors, meat is tender, the mixed grill was to die for. Fish curry incredible and the biryani totally floated my boat, Service was prompt, and friendly, yes seating is a little tight and portions a little on the small side, but for this area it is still amazing value, you will not find a better Indian. I am eating the leftovers cold for breakfast : What a treat !"

"Unfortunately we did not see this restaurant at it's best. It was the day of a rugby final so it was packed. Knowing how busy the place would be we reserved a table and got seated on time. after a short wait we ordered and drinks and nibbles arrived quite quickly. Starters then came luke warm, and not particularly special. We then waited, and waited, and waited. An hour and three quarters after we arrived there was still no sign of a main course or any service we had tried to catch the eyes of the people working there several times. In the end we decided to leave. We reached the counter and asked to pay what we had received. This came to £40 for three drinks, nibbles and starters which we paid. In all fairness the manager was very apologetic. The waitress was very friendly as well. I could not fault either of these two. But clearly they must have been understaffed and this resulted in delays. We weren't the only group to complain about the time. So, in short, I can't really comment on how good this restaurant is usually. It has very good reviews which is why I made the reservation. But I would avoid on match days."

"Very disappointed with this restaurant. I booked as we were in the area and the menu looked good. We skipped starters and went straight to mains, I ordered the Haddock in mustard sauce my husband opted for the Malaysian fish curry. When my dish arrived, the ill advised tower of onion rings on my fish had collapsed and they were hanging off the edge of the plate almost taking my poached egg with them. Why the chef had tried to defy gravity I don't know but I wish he'd put that effort into flavour and colour. The plate was beige and tasted the same. There was a lack of flavour in the mustard sauce and the mash. The onion rings were weird, the batter was chewy. My husband declared his Malaysian curry to be bland. We decided to have pudding, they were much better but not good enough to warrant the price. At the end of the meal it took 45 minutes to get the bill and pay. The staff were clearing plates from empty tables and seemed to have forgotten they had customers. The ambiance in the restaurant was strange when we arrived it was quiet despite plenty of customers and we felt we had to whisper, later with live music we couldn't hear each other. The decor was odd, an attempted blend of old fashioned dining with quirky additions didn't really work. My overall impression is that this restaurant is stuck in the 1980s. I don't mind paying more for exciting dishes, but all the excitement was on the menu. This meal would have been poor value at half the price."
