"Me and my family went here to celebrate my sisters birthday. There was a party of 8 and 2 of them were children. We started our order of 8 popadoms and drinks. Then we ordered the mains, 6 main dishes with 4 sides, 4 nans and 4 rice. We decided to share as the little ones wouldn't eat a lot. To my surprise my husband informs me that the waiter is talking about us to his colleagues in his language. What he didn't know is that my husband is from the same country and could understand everything they were saying. He said how the stingy girl (my sister )who never ordered a main was taking everyone's food, complaining that she never ordered any food. Firstly as customers we have the right to order what we want. There is no rule of the amount we need to order. We then asked for some water. We first ask for a bottle of water but then realised a few people wanted water so we asked for a jug of water. The waiter then starts saying in his language look at these stingy people asking for bottled water then for tap water. After buying drinks we needed some water to wash it down. There was no point buying bottled water for everyone. We then asked for a container to take some leftovers home and the waiter said he will do it down stairs. My sister explains that she only wants to pick a few bits and he still didn't want to do this. Then he goes down stairs and starts cursing us. I could not believe the service we received. My husband then confronted them by greeting him in his language and their faces dropped begging for him not to tell my family what he has said. The service was utterly disgraceful and we will not be returning. And to top it all off the food was disgusting. It has no taste and tasted all the same."

"Before I start, you need to know I have never given such a bad review I am a very reasonable and accurate reviewer. But you should never visit this one. My friend and I called in to this unpreposessing restauarant round the back of Paddington. We just wanted a quick meal and it was the closest on Open Table it was 11pm on a Friday night. We were the only people in there. It was very basic no carpet, crappy chairs, tiny. We ordered tap water and a beer. He brought bottled water, and just poured it I assumed it was one of those places where they serve tap water in their own bottles, so said nothing. He kept pushing the more expensive lines and I fell for it without thinking so, we asked for a chicken curry and a lamb one. He suggested duck, without me realising how much more it was. He also suggested a couple of samosas whilst they were cooking the main meal so we agreed. To be fair, the food was OK, nothing special, but the bill was nearly £50. The water and beer alone were £10. I paid on a card and the machine asked me how much I wanted to tip. I tried to continue, but the system wouldn't let me. I asked him and he added one penny as a tip which is in itself outrageous. I didn't complain at the time although it was clear from my approach to the tip what I thought! because my friend hates me getting into arguments on the spot, and I didn't want to offend her. I am sure I am not the only person who has this experience with friends. I asked for a bill so I could see the breakdown and all I got was the total on a strip of paper.There are plenty of better places to eat near here and I'm really disappointed that Open Table continue to do business with this devious crowd. They should be removed."
