"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."

"Ordered a takeaway from Wei Dao for 4 Singapore Noodles and a Beef in BB Sauce. Great food noodles had that oomph taste and was quite crisp. I would happily recommend Wei Dao to anyone looking for a tasty, less greasy, bang for the buck, healthy Chinese takeaway. The guys running the place was swell as well. My wife was allergic to prawns and the Singapore Noodles did have them. The note I placed with the online order to avoid adding them to one of the noodles was unfortunately overlooked, perhaps being a busy Saturday evening. I called them to complain once I reached home. The person who picked up was so graceful, that he kindly suggested to provide me with another one without prawns and even threw in a few Spring Rolls as a good will gesture. When I offered to return the original one, he insisted to keep it for the family on the house.Was quite amazed with their response, and when I reached to collect the food, they apologized unreservedly. A fine experience altogether. Thomas"

"I frequently order from this restaurant when I'm feeling lazy and craving good Indian food. It's the best Indian restaurant in Canterbury in my opinion. Each dish is consistently hot and flavorful. The orders typically arrive on time or close to it, so no complaints there. Whenever I order more than 2-3 dishes, they always throw in a free sweet curry as a bonus, which I love. The service is great and the dining experience is simply exquisite. The prices are reasonable and overall, I highly recommend this place. My friends are already fans and we can't wait to order from here again."

"Great food, great service. If you're looking for super awesome comfort food made from scratch, this is the spot. Also, I was literally the only non Chinese non English speaker in this bustling business, which is always a good rule of thumb when looking for authenticity. I just went in to try out a couple of apps, but there was a table of about 6 Chinese folk next to me who looked like they'd ordered like half the menu, and omg it looked amaaazingg, filled with variety and TOTALLY different from the standard blah blah chow mein etc type fare. They were all obviously loving it. I had major food envy lol, defo going back with friends. HIGHLY recommend! "

"30th August made a order online. I had already paid. I wondered what was going on as i havent heard anything from this company, then finally get a message rejecting the order! I rang up asked for a refund and why my order was rejected, the person I spoke too was nice and to ring the 3rd party as they took the money. I then get a phone call back I will get refund by end of day. I recieved nothing, next day I phoned up he was nice again told me that he will get in touch as soon as he knows something and apologised, My partner went to the shop without knowing I had already called. This man showed a WhatsApp message that havent been seen by curry hunter which I throught is very unprofessional. I phoned up again on monday he said can I get back to you. Tuesday this time it was the brother of the other person. He was very rude he made me cry down the phone, told me that his brother told me partner that I will get a refund in 2weeks which was a lie, he was shouting at me wouldnt letting me get out what I had to say he. I then get a text message from the person I was talking to before saying it's not for them to give me the money that curry hunter needs to sort it out not them. I then had a phone call from the manager from curry hunter manager very nice and understand they told me how things are meant to work and how mazza has dealt with me and this situation is very wrong. He told me I will receive this refund tomorrow if not to call. I got nothing I wouldnt rate this company at all never had a problem until now will not be going back EVER!!"

"Worst Indian meal we have ever had. Only thing that was ok was the poppadums. The rest was tasteless and the chicken meat quite chewy. The garlic naan was tasteless and we had to ask times before the staff offered to replace it. When...we got the replacement it came covered in small chunks of garlic. The service was also quite poor with less than enthusiastic staff. The waiter did get the manager and he tried to explain they cook their food differently to how it’s cooked in the part of Scotland we come from?? He then also offered to get us a drink each but this was once we’d paid and were ready to leave. Would much rather have had something knocked off the bill for providing us with an underwhelming meal. It is ashame as the location is nice but the food and service was not."

I was pleasantly surprised by taste and quality of eating. mango leti garlauch naan daal makhani keema materie enhancements: inside could do with a new design to a bit more modern and clean dishes were slowly arriving, but I am not sure if this was because it was all freshened"

"Very average Indian, lamb was lovely and tender and the saag paneer was good but apart from that it was only ok. The butterfly king prawn starter was disgusting and inedible had to call up and let them know as I don't think it's fair to serve that to people, the rice was kind of hard, the cheese naan had hardly any cheese on it and the bombay aloo didnt taste of much. Looking at other reviews this may of just been a one off but our first time trying so a bit disappointed."

"The Chinese food at this restaurant is very simple and lacking in flavor. The service was slow and unfriendly. The prices are high considering the quality of the food, which is likely the worst in Newark."

"Spotted this place on Yelp after so many people bookmarked it, just as well as I'm rarely in town and would never have known it existed After some negotiating traffic and road closures I arrive at the door, first impressions is .... Oh no it's just a take out place .... I go in and I'm surprised to see it has ample bar seating and some tables too! Yeah I get a seat The menu is immediately available as it doubles as your placemat, order my drinks and they come quickly. Decent amount of choice and I'm surprised at how low the prices are given its city centre location. Place an order of many things as I'm a pig Salmon maki comes first, not sure what the lovely waitress said as she placed it down however I was hungry and got stuck in, it looked different .... Then I realise it is cooked salmon.... Taste is obviously different too, just as I was feeling that it isn't really what I wanted..... Some salmon maki arrives?????? Another, this time uncooked as you would expect.... I question it and I'm told the first was for free...... What!!!! Free.... 6 maki .... To try wow! Nice! Loved it a little more now My chicken teriyaki miso ramen arrives, huge bowl, well presented and with a traditional wooden ladle, it was delightful plenty of noodles, chicken and packed full of flavour Then..... I'm feeling ashamed now .... My veg tempura arrives ..... I audibly gasp at the portion size, all that for a fiver! Geeeez I managed half the ramen and shock horror had to box up the tempura to take with me..... Anyone that knows me knows I hate doing this .... My partner Maria however does it every restaurant and it drives me crazy! However there was so much food and the tempura not even touched I had to! All that including drinks £19.20 well cheaper than I would spend in yo sushi and much more flavour with a personal service It looses a star however for the following No bubble tea as advertised on the menu (I was disappointed as I love me a bbt) The interior as much as I love an industrial/stressed/wood feel I do not however like plywood on the walls, bare concrete great, rusting metal great look, distressed wood and brickwork lovely..... Plywood cheap and nasty, I would have preferred anything even some reclaimed wood, old pallets anything but ply Next was cash only, I had none on me, it was a little inconvenient to walk down to central station to get cash out a machine and come back to pay, even if they did trust I would return (I did offer to leave my driving licence as proof of return) All in though, you go for the food and service on that I will definitely be returning"

"The food at this restaurant is fantastic, although there is room for improvement in the service area. The staff is friendly, but they can be hard to flag down after you receive your food for more drinks or the bill. It took over 20 minutes to finally get the bill, which is not ideal, especially since this restaurant is in a prime spot for a pre-movie dinner."

"My partner and I dined at this restaurant last night, and I personally believe it was the best Indian food I have had in years. We were warmly greeted and promptly seated at a table. We had purchased an Itison voucher (two courses for two people, with a choice of house red or white wine) which only cost us £17 total. The starters were beautifully presented and tasted delicious, setting us up nicely for our main courses. I chose the South Indian garlic chilli dish, while my husband opted for the Nepalese bhuna. Both dishes were flavorful and authentic. Since we had used an Itison voucher, we paid for the poppadoms and chutney before heading home to relax for the evening. Overall, I must say that for a restaurant that had just opened a few weeks ago, the service was friendly and the food was exceptional. Keep up the good work, Essence - we will definitely be back."

"This is my go-to curry restaurant for delivery, but last night was my first dining experience there for a friend's farewell party. We had an amazing evening, with the staff being extremely patient with our large and disorganized group. They were very friendly and organized, making sure everyone received their orders. The food was delicious, each dish was perfect, and the portions were generous. It was a very enjoyable evening and I will definitely be returning to dine there again!"
