review:
Starters:
Masala
chai
£2.25
-
no
flavour,
a
sign
of
things
to
come
perhaps?
Less
flavour
than
a
powdered
instant
chai
Bottled
water
-
£2.50
•
Masala
fries
£5.50
-
never
received,
they
tried
to
charge
us
for
it
too,
but
we
got
this
removed.
•
Gol
goppa
£4.75
-
Had
to
make
it
ourselves!
They
didnt
put
any
of
the
filling
in
the
gol
goppa,
usually
people
put
the
filling
and
keep
the
water
separate.
•
Bhel
chaat
£4.75
-
fine
if
not
a
bit
stale
•
Aloo
Tikki
chaat
£4.75
-
too
much
sweet
yogurt.
Not
enough
potatoes
•
Papadi
chaat
£4.75
-
fine
but
didnt
actually
use
papadi
Dinner:
•
Chilli
paneer
(dry)
£7.95
Quite
sad,
the
paneer
itself
had
no
flavour.
Its
by
far
one
of
the
most
blandest
•
Chilli
fried
mushroom
£7.95
would
order
again.
This
was
nice,
sweet
and
sour
type
flavour.
•
Chilli
chicken
(dry)
£7.95
tasted
nice,
moist.
But
we
were
told
when
ordering
its
dry-
it
clearly
had
sauce
in.
What
is
going
on
there?
•
Chicken
tikka
£8.95
5
pieces
for
£8?
Expensive
as
anything.
The
meat
was
fine,
if
not
a
bit
tough
and
the
marinade
wasn't
a
nice
thick
one
•
Dal
Makhni
£8.75
Quite
nice,
creamy,
slightly
sweet
though
•
Saag
£8.75
so
disappointing,
bland
&
tasteless.
It
was
like
they
just
emptied
a
can
and
made
no
tadka
with
it.
So
bad,
wasn't
cooked
down
or
smooth
at
all.
•
Lamb
rogan
josh
£10.90
tasteless,
barely
any
meat.
Member

our

said
it
acc
made
them
sick
•

as

•
Makhi
di
roti

dry,
bitter
tasting

Naan
£2.90
•
Plain
rice
£3.50
General
Review:
♡
Pros:
-
BYOB
-
Waiter/waitresses
were
super
helpful
trying
to
help
my
grandad
get
hot
water,
and
generally
helpful
-
Mural
gave
a
cosy
punjabi
feel
-
Starters
came
quick,
but
quite
a
wait
(over
30-40mins?)
for
the
mains.
We
considered
just
paying
for
starters
and
leaving.
-
Warm
plates
for
mains
×
Cons:
-
Booking
was
a
hassle,
we
were
told
to
phone
back
in
an
hour.
Yes
we
have
a
party
of
8,
but
theres
a
number
of
empty
tables
when
we
arrived
and
remained
empty.
Eventually
after
another
member
of
the
party
called
(after
an
hour!)
they
said
they'll
phone
us
back
in
20mins.
-
Offered
us
papadum
but
they're
not
free,
did
not
disclose
this
at
the
time,
we
had
to
ask
-
Music
is
quite
loud
so
hard
to
have
conversation
-
Bottled
water
on
table
is
chargeable,
this
should
have
been
disclosed
when
you
arrive
instead
of
the
'menu
explanation'
we
had
(which
didnt
explain
when
the
mains
started)
AND
the
little
sign
(on
an
a4
printed
paper)
saying
its
chargeable
-
Fanta
was
flat
-
Very
small
portions
for
the
price.
Particularly
the
chai.
-
We
thought
the
numbers
on
the
menu
were
for
ease,
so
we
noted
down
what
we
wanted
by
number
but
the
till
system
records
it
by
the
full
name
without
the
number
-
Staff
member
was
evidently
not
confident
with
using
an
ipad
for
taking
orders
as
it
took
a
painful
amount
of
time
to
put
it
through
-
Waiter
felt
a
bit
judgy
as
we
were
ordering
starters
for
mains.
Kept
trying
to
say
from
46
onwards
(or
something
like
that)
its
all
mains
but
we're
ordering
starters
for
dinner
etc.
-
Kept
trying
to
upsell
saying
we're
a
big
table
you'd
only
get
a
spoon
each
of
the
items
we
were
ordering.
Again,
felt
very
judged.
Same
with
the
rice,
you
dont
want
Raita?
Onions?
Pickle??
It
was
shameless
really
-
There
were
times
staff
would
completely
disappear
from
the
restaurant
floor
which
wasn't
great
as
customers
if
you
needed
something
e.g
water
or
tissues
or
any
extra
orders.
At
one
point
we
did
want
to
ask
something
but
waiters
were
avoiding
eye
contact,
and
just
going
from
a
to
b
before
leaving
the
shop
alone
again.
-
Waitresses
were
specifically
unenthusiastic.
-
Had
to
keep
asking
for
tissues
as
there
just
wasnt
a
lot
on
the
table
-
Forgot
our
Masala
fries
with
our
starters
-
Service
charge
was
high
and
non-discretionary.
Given
how
long
things
took
and
our
overall
experience
we
did
not
feel
this
was
justified
but
they
refused
to
take
it
off.
Edit
after
owner
response:
Shockingly
rude.
Grandad
asked
for
hot
water,
and
we
asked
for
our
food
after
a
good
40mins.
