"We were recommended the White Hart. We arrived for a 7.30 table and found parking difficult. The place is a pub so it has a good number of drinkers as well as diners which we found a little off-putting as it felt more like pub grub than a restaurant. We sat down and awaited menus etc. The wine list is quite basic and didn't feel like a wine list for this type of restaurant. We ordered a bottle of wine and our food. When we ordered I asked for 6 poppadoms to be had whilst waiting, these never arrived. The starter arrived ONE HOUR after ordering. We asked about the dealy and we were told that the takeaways were taking 45 minutes (this did not help as we were a restaurant diner this was a poor excuse and made us even more disappointed in the response) We ordered the Gurkha Special starter which is £12.95. This was a mixed tandoor type of starter. The prawn was very overcooked, the chicken was OK, the lamb was tasty. It lacked a sauce or dip. For main my partner had a Chicken Tikka Masala which when it arrived looked like chunky tomato soup, and it tasted very bland and the sauce was very runny. It has a funny aftertaste and was just not great! I ordered the Nepalese Lamb Curry which was amazing but after waiting an hour for the starter and then getting our main 10 minutes after it did not make up for the mistakes! The rice was good. The Garlic naan didn't taste of garlic at all. The bill for 2 with a bottle of wine was £60.00 which was OK if it had been better, for the service and quality of food this was expensive in my opinion. The restaurant staff is young and very helpful but the management seems to be lacking. We would not go back."
