"we came here at the beginning of December in a busy night before we went to the cinema. I called earlier to make a reservation for two and asked if we were quickly served to make our movie. we booked for 7pm something earlier than the party bookings. the tables were a little close together. but even if they were busy, we were really served fast and finished in time to go to the cinema for 7.45. the appetizers were excessive for what they were according to my opinion. we ordered a part of the garlic garnel on spits we got four garnels and a diving sauce for about 8 pfu and they tasted nothing. for the net we ordered the crispy sea roast with red curry sauce from the special menu and the prawn yellow curry. the sea roast came as two filets drowned with sauce. it was not fresh. it tasted very fish and was a bit overcooked. the dish was quite dry in a bite. the yellow curry sauce was amazing. the grilled part was generous and there was a lot of extra sauce we used to mask the sea roast on the other plate. it only took a few more sweets in a pot to complete the court. we ordered a part rice and it was quite large enough for two with rest of our food. we had a court next to Roti canai. the roti were delicious. there was not enough sauce for the two rotis so we used the sauce from our curry. overall we have eaten well and made it into the cinema in time. the service was fast and friendly. I'm glad we came to the time we went, there was a snake for tables all over the stairs. when we came back here, we would skip appetizers and order a few different curries and a little extra sweet and enjoy us."

"Disgusting experience, saw the reviews were ok on tripadvisor and thought we would give it a go, how wrong of us Start to finish the service was very very poor, lack of manners and not even a friendly face or anything but we didn’t...mind too much as we understand how stressful hospitality can be The lack of hygiene really was shocking I felt dirty and embarrassed to be in there and to top it off a lovely hair in my food, definitely not mine either no one seemed to care about this and it was just shrugged off, great to know the kitchens are being kept well"

"We were warmly welcomed and drinks served quickly. Good advice given regarding the menu that was most interesting (not many Chinese restaurants have green lipped mussels) and portions so no wastage."

"I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. We arrived with a reservation for 6 people at 7:30 pm and ordered drinks and food at the bar. However, when we sat down at our table at 9 pm, we had only received our drinks and no food. After inquiring, we were told by the waiter that our order had just gone through, meaning we had waited over an hour for our food. Some of the starters we received were stone cold, including pork ribs that were inedible. When we mentioned this to our waiter, there was no apology or offer to rectify the situation. The main courses were decent, but the evening had already been ruined. We even had to pay for additional drinks before they were served to us. There was no gesture of apology or reduction in price for the terrible starters. I will not be returning to this restaurant, as the staff clearly lack proper customer service skills. They were too preoccupied with menial tasks like folding napkins to realize that customers were waiting for their food, which the kitchen was unaware of."

"Among the dozens of Indian restaurants in Brick Lane, we reluctantly fell for the sales pitch at the door and decided to dine at Aladin. The menu was extensive, but seemed very similar to that of the other nearby curry houses. I decided to order the non veg thali. There was a good variety of offerings, but I was disappointed with the taste of the food. It wasn't bad, but definitely nothing special no deep flavors or spiciness to add to the taste that I have gotten accustomed to enjoying from better establishments. The interaction with the waiter was confusing at best, during the order process, but mostly at the end when he presented the bill. It was a handwritten check that was finally corrected after the fourth attempt amid a bunch of scratched off numbers to indicate the discount that the salesman at the door promised, and to also remove items that were double charged. The street level dining room was small, but somehow accommodated a lot of diners which made it very noisy. I will unfortunately not return to Aladin. There are much better Indian restaurants around London."

"I made a reservation for our first Valentine's Day dinner at this restaurant. When we arrived at the hotel, I was pleasantly surprised by the nice decor and well-dressed staff. We checked in at the restaurant at 8:15pm and were seated at our table. We waited for 35 minutes before a waiter came to take our drink order. After receiving our drinks, we ordered our food, which consisted of 3 starters, a main course to share (but was the size of a child's meal), and a dessert that was meant to be shared but was very small. We received our first starter, then the third, before our main course arrived. When I asked about our second starter, the waiter apologized and brought it out 20 minutes later. We then had to wait another 25 minutes for our dessert, leaving us very hungry. Despite being told the set menu was £40 per person with a glass of wine, we had requested soft drinks instead and were told it would not affect the price. However, when the bill came, it totaled £110.37. I had only brought £80, so my partner had to cover the rest. After attempting to sort out the issue the next day, I was frustrated by the lack of response from the manager and the unprofessional communication via text from his personal phone. Overall, I was very dissatisfied with the experience and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone."

"Booked business lunch through open table, expecting a decent service. Is there any? NO. First I have been asked to provide a code, what code? I am having normal lunch on normal menu, I never need a code! Apparently a waitress thought I booked through group on! I was embarrassed in front of my clients. It is not a cheap skate! Seated right underneath a noisy TV in a corner, and there isn't many guests around. what do I supposed to do with my discussion? And it took half an hour for me To have my orange juice! Did you go to supermarket and my juices? There is barely any service and why do I need to pay service charge? When I raised my hand for anyone to notice, for few minutes nobody cared! I don't believe this is what's happening, and for this experience and the just normal average food they are serving, I hope my fellow customers just waved byebye to this place. Birmingham have so much to offer and 1565 is a place you won't need to remember."

"This classic pub serves good Thai food and offers a variety of ales. The grilled pork neck is tasty and a unique dish not often found elsewhere. The Pad Thai may be a bit too sweet for some palates, but if you enjoy traditional Thai dishes such as red, green, and Penang curry commonly served in the UK, paired with a cozy pub setting, then you will likely find something to enjoy here."

"The restaurant is situated right in the heart of Leicester Square, which is definitely one of the prime locations in this part of London. You can easily reach Canary Wharf and the city, all the way to Big Ben and beyond. We had a reservation for 3 people, but unfortunately, they couldn't locate our booking. Fortunately, they were able to seat us on a spacious balcony. We had received confirmation from OpenTable and showed it upon our arrival, but they still couldn't find our reservation."

"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)."

"Offer of off food shown when booking on here but apparently is only if you join their membership club no mention of that! To be honest we weren’t too bothered about that BUT it was the last straw on the night. We booked for they continually poured our wine (even when we’d just topped up ourselves) so that we were completely done by There was a singer in which made it very noisy too. Not for us."

"I'm not sure what this place wants to be. It was playing club music but in the surrounding of a fine dine establishment. To be fair the steak was really nice but felt the other dishes lacked imagination they were all quite similar. Finally I just felt it was all over priced for what was on offer."

"beautiful exterior and interior settings with attentive waiting staff at the entrance, ready for customers. we ordered an breakfast plate and an egg benedikt together with a big bailey’s latte. the black pudding is particularly delicious and well spiced because I had havd pudding that was much too salty to my lust before. we also surprised to find out that willows also some popular baked (coffee tower, yam yum etc). sold by the famous fisher donaldson. total great breakfast experience and is definitely worth a visit!"

"the food was good in bengal bertie’s in north finchley, but the restaurant urgently needs more staff, it was half an hour between our poppadoms and in the position to order the rest of the food. they were not busy in the restaurant itself there were only 2 other tables, but the constant stream of Takeaway calls meant that the waiter was constantly on the pone."

"However, I want to note that Niku reached out to me to discuss my concerns, and the representative I spoke with was very understanding. It turns out that the door staff were not the usual team, and I was assured they won't be hired for future events. It's important for venues to remember that their door staff reflect their reputation, and they should be careful about who they choose to hire. Overall, my experience was disappointing, with a price tag of over £100 per person for food, service, and atmosphere all rating a 1 out of 5."

"The Ambiance: Totally cute like you’re stepping onto the set of Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited. The Staff: Welcoming and friendly without being overly ‘present’ (eek those places where like five servers are staring at you from the wings…it doesn’t happen here! . The Food: Very tasty! They serve all the usual suspects (curry, jalfrezi, biriyani, et all along with specialties from various regions. My only mild critique is the small size of the naan; for £2.95 it should have been a bit bigger. However, it was super tasty! Would I eat here again? oh yeah! Very delightful food!"

"The menu at The Mumbai Mansion is not your standard Indian fare. Scallops, Monkfish, Venison all feature in the starter selections. There is also a number of mains cooked on the grill, including lobster, lamb and duck. Whilst most of these don’t sound like staples of Indian cooking, they are still cooked with the same range of spices and sauces which provides a unique take on the dish, but with that unmistakable Indian spice and flavour. There is also a selection of more traditional curries such as Lamb Rogan Josh, Butter Chicken and Chicken Karahi. I ended up going for the Scallops and Mussels to start which was served with a Nilghiri sauce. Miss Edinburger went for the Venison Boti...read more"

"Posting on behalf of Wife. Humiliated in front of other diners purely for coming in with a double pram. One female member of staff pointed at newborns babies saying they can’t accommodate that ‘thing’. It’s small enough to fit through a single door so doesn’t take up much more space than a single pram! Even offered to put pram away and place chairs at the table to create more space which received huffs from staff around the inconvenience of having two sleeping babies in their chairs! Made to feel unwelcome and anxious for the duration of lunch so left swiftly within an hour. Fortunately other diners were lovely but staff are in serious need of training on how to treat customers. Numerous new mothers struggle with anxiety going out with babies and that kind of treatment of an individual struggling could have a serious impact on their mental health. Disgusting behaviour."
