First
time
at
Tayyabs.
I
had
heard
a
lot
about
it
over
the
years
and
finally
had
the
opportunity
to
go.
All
I
can
say
was
that
it
was
an
experience!
We
had
a
booking
for
6
people
at
8pm
on
a
Friday
night
and
managed
to
be
seated
at
the
table
at
around
8.25
pm.
The
place
was
utter
mayhem.
Hordes
of
walk
ins,
bookings,
all
crammed
inside
and
outside,
one
manic
restaurant
manager
running
around
trying
to
organise
people’s
tables.
I
was
there
with
my
elderly
mother
and
aunt,
who
both
use
walking
sticks.
When
I
asked
if
our
table
was
ready
on
arrival,
the
manager
had
asked
why
I
had
not
mentioned
that
I
required
special
assistance,
as
they
had
booked
our
table
upstairs.
As
I
had
never
been
to
Tayyabs
before
and
it
was
not
mentioned
if
I
required
seating
downstairs,
on
the
website,
I
did
not
even
realise
this
was
something
I
needed
to
do.
Anyway,
the
restaurant
asked
us
to
wait
whilst
they
organised
a
table
downstairs.
When
I
finally
found
the
manager
after
15mins,
amongst
the
crowds
of
customers
waiting
to
be
served
and
enquired
about
my
table,
I
got
told
that
the
table
was
being
prepared
and
that
if
I
asked
again,
he
would
cancel
my
booking!!
I
was
ready
to
leave
at
that
point
but
realising
it
would
be
difficult
to
find
somewhere
else
with
two
elderly
people
with
walking
difficulties,
decided
to
stay.
Once
we
were
seated
at
the
table,
the
food
came
very
fast.
We
had
their
famous
lamb
chops
which
tbh,
were
quite
tough
but
ok
flavour
wise.
We
enjoyed
the
paneer
tikka
and
the
grilled
king
prawn
starter.
The
elders
liked
the
Friday
special
Lamb
biriyani.
But
I
would
not
recommend
the
masala
fish
which
had
a
very
odd
sweet
and
soapy
taste
and
the
mango
lassi
which
was
just
a
jug
full
of
foam.
Overall
the
food
was
ok
in
an
old
school
curry
house
kind
of
way
and
the
service
improved
later
as
we
had
a
dedicated
waiter
who
looked
after
us.
Other
than
that,
it
wasn’t
cheap,
£165
for
6people
and
no
alcohol.
Would
I
go
again?
Not
sure
I
would.
