"The website claimed to cater for Vegan diets "if you are a vegan we can cook a bespoke meal following strict vegan principles with no dairy products or, if you would like something cooked in a specific way our chefs will be happy to cater to your requirements "When asked for our order i asked the waiter what vegan the meals the chef could prepare. The waiter didn 't understand and i explained that it was a step on from vegetarian and was food prepared without any animal products, eggs, diary etc,. Initially i was told that this would be impossible as most of their food is pre prepared and cant be altered. I asked if he could ask the chef. Instead of asking the chef the waiter suggested i tried the Panner Pakora or King prawn Tikka for starters followed by Lamb Achari for mains!!!! As i was with a group i didn 't want to upset eveyone and the waiter was clearly not understanding or willing to ask the chef, i eventually asked if they could cook a vegetable biryani without gee and in vegetable oil. I have no confidence this was cooked as requested. That aside, the starters arrived within 3 mins of ordering and were clearly precooked and warmed making them dry and unpalatable. Within minutes of the starters been cleared the main courses were on the table, no time to digest the first course! Most of the party thought the main course was acceptable, but nothing to shout about and considering the service and rush through would not be back again. Probably the worst restaurant experience I 've had and with so many good places locally in Pudsey and Farsely, i wont be going back!!"
