"This place changed to worsen, I'm surprised it still standing. Upon arrival at the door, a4 paper tape it to the door saying Pay before you eat . with is fair enough, as you approach the staff they take you straight away to the bar so you pay for your meal, they take out the unlimited pop drinks with you need to spend more money. £2.80 for a pint of coca cola that didn't even taste like the genuine one, more like water down and the cheap ones you get from supermarkets for less than 50p, ridiculous. So the table for 2, they took us to the busiest and loudest corner, even when we politely ask if we can be seated in a quieter table. Staff looked at us funny and said no. With we founded very rude. As soon you sit down at the table you've been observed like crazy! whenever you go the staffs and manager has eyes on you. On the walls, there is a notice poorly made written by hand and once again a4 paper saying you can eat from 12 noon till 5.30 pm if you stay longer you be charged! very passive writing. This place has zero maintenances, you can see dust everywhere especially of the curtains I don't think they ever been washed. Mould at the ceiling and the walls you can spot from miles, not to mention poor chairs and tables. Cutlery is not presentable I had to wipe in the napkin before using it. Food buffet variety is nothing special and the desserts are horrible, cheap icecreams, most of the desserts are from supermarkets, they left in the trays for god knows how long. (You never know you might eat out of date food). Plates are chipped, some of them wet. Bowls bearly any. I and my partner agreed that the food was over salted and had too much pepper inside. It's a cheap Chinese if you can call that, use to be alright but now it's just a no, we won't be back here again. Prices for the buffet are somehow ok for lunch but then you need to spend more on drinks with the bill could be expensive. Lunch Monday Thursday £7.5 Adult £4.5 Child, Buffet at the evenings seems overpriced: Monday Thursday Dinner (5:30pm 10pm) £8.5 Adult £5 Child Friday Saturday: Lunch (12noon 5:30pm) £8 Adult £5 Child Dinner (5:30pm 10pm) £9.5 Adult £5 Child Sunday All Day and Bank Holidays (except good Friday): 12noon 10pm, £8.5 Adult, £5 Child What we noticed many people left leftovers, including myself as I had undercooked potatoes. The way this business is going soon or later they will charge you for leaving leftovers! As we were leaving the restaurant all staffs including manger had eyes on us, felt like they not trusting us. It's terrible to feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. After the food, we both had stomach pains and my partner felt sick, we unsure what could have been caused by it but we know for sure we go elsewhere and pay a little bit extra to have a proper Chinese rather than this that makes you sick."

"The New Anand is how I remember Indian restaurants the decor is a mixture of Rennie Macintosh and a minimalist scheme executed by the set designers of Barbie after a night on the razz. The exterior resembles the typical Victorian ferry buildings you find on the end of a pier walking through the door is like stepping into your silver Delorean to find yourself emerging into the late 70 's early 80 's ... the menu is wonderfull with at least 2 versions of every curry you can name, they still give you popadoms and spicy onions to munch on as you attempt to navigate/decode a menu which would confound Alan Turing and the team at Bletchley Park however the food itself is utterly divine. Tandoori tikka mix is arrives sizzling and its big chunks of succulent fizzling chicken reeking of fresh herbs and spices. The korma ordered arrived as a hot dish of creamy brown heaven, medium sized chunks of chicken cooked perfectly in a smooth sweet coconut and spice sauce not one single drop was left by the end. The fried rice was as full of flavor as it was colourful, and moist, despite a search no one single dry chunks stuck together could be found. Portions outrageously generous, there is a buffet option (bain marie) which was gorgeously aromatic, fragrant and piping hot numerous plates passed by bulging with an impressive mixture of utterly delicious helpings. The drinks were decent and affordable, from rose wine to a perfunctory range of spirits for beer aficionados they do have the amber stuff chilled on draught. Visit often, enjoy the food, savour the moment, you will find New Anand a rare drama free oasis of calm no loud people on phones taking plate pictures for their TikTok/Instagram/Meta followers here. Curry fans are strongly encouraged to take a trip Back to the Future before it is, one day, lost to the past. 5 Marty McFly stars Update just as brilliant as Doc Brown 's design for the flux capacitor, the dishes are as fresh as if they had just been delivered by a kid on hover board. Starter platter for two is highly recommended, as is any of the delicious vegetarian curries best described as simple and superb. Update 4/24 reads exactly as above 5 Groundhog Day stars"
