Reviews
Lengthy review. Tldr - Very disjointed service, below average food, management that quite literally hide rather than supporting their young daughters in the restaurant. Decor is a decent conversion from the St. Leger Hotel. Initial greeting and service from Terri was pleasant. Starters. 1 starter was incorrect, which we didn't want to waste food so had it instead, charged for the higher price dish with no dispute. Onion Bhaji was beyond ridiculous in size. This meant that it was undercooked in the middle. I tried to give feedback about it just generally being uncessarily large but the manager/owner hides away in back room snickering with his 2 young daughters/servers. We were offered no side plates and had to ask to be able to eat out starters not off the sizzling plates. Mains. One in our party ordered a med rare Indian steak which came out overdone, this was perfectly rectified by exchanging and cooking fresh. The main issue was sat with our mains on serving plates with no serving cutlery or plates until we found someone in the back to bring us them. Naan bread is a no go, it comes out genuinely like pizza. It's a congealed, microwaved disaster. They would benefit from buying in naan rather than attempting to make their own. Currys just flat tastes although chicken kebab dish was tender and nicely spiced. Service. It's evident it just lacks leadership. There's no manager in the restaurant to make decisions. It's a male owner, his wife running the kitchen, and his 2 daughters serving in school uniform. Theres no communication or leadership given we were constantly asked the same question by each member of staff. 'E.g is your food okay?' at least 5 times about mains. I asked to discuss with the manager as the young server had already had to deal with many complaints that evening and you could see it was getting to her. We were told the manager has stepped outside and will be back in 20 minutes. We obviously had point of discussion about the bill due to the fact we had barely eaten anything, and we were being charged for a starter we didn't have. Generally we just wanted to give this review, in person to the manager to improve the restaurant. Here's where the real 'red flag' problems arise. We were forced to pay for the full bill, including the incorrect starter as the manager is the only one that can authorise discounts. We were given an email address. Throughout the meal the young girls in school uniform were laughing and staring at us when coming out the kitchen. When we left we could see the owner in the back overflow restaurant, laughing with his young daughters. Not only is this an issue to me because he refused to come and speak to his paying guests, but because he cannot support and back up his team. They needed his support not only to ensure service ran effectively, but to deal with the 4/5 tables that complained about their meal. He instead quite literally hid, laughing about the complaints to his daughters about complaining guests as he took full price for their meals which given his demeanor through the window, was more than happy to do. Family restaurants deserve all the support in the world after the pandemic, this place does not. I urge the members of staff not related to the owner to find other hospitality positions as your manager unfortunately does not care for your well-being or his guests.
Well where do I start. The food was devine! We had a mixed starter for 2. was sublime. Very spicy I impressed myself that I was able to eat it with how spicy it was as I'm pretty pathetic when it comes to spice. Main meals I had a lamb fruity and o my god what an amazing balance of flavours the lamb was cooked too perfection. Very enjoyable especially after such a spicy starter. My partner had a chicken naag... I think it was called extreamly hot. We did have left overs as the portions are very generous but staff had no issues supply us with boxes so we could box it up to bring home. I've had mine for my breakfast and omg still amazing! The staff were friendly and very happy to help and talk to you. Now I've been once I will deffo be back again. Thankyou for a fab and much well needed night out for us both.
Mains were not to our liking . A spice used in both curries that is not normal for Indian cuisine. But was a nice evening out nonetheless. Attentive and polite staff
Having wanted to visit for quite a while we finally went in for some food which was amazing. The restaurant is clean and looks lovely and all staff were friendly and helpful. The fillet steak was great and the muscles were amazing. We will definitely be back again soon
Working out of town at Doncaster racecourse local to here as im actually from Birmingham Got recommended this place by a few tradesman I know who live local Hands down one of the best curries I've had in a good while & being quite picky in a general sense they happily altered my chicken & potato balti to remove ingredients I didn't like The food was absolutely spot on & the service aswell by the lad who served me & the one female bar staff yesterday 17/08/21 was an absolute pleasure When I'm next up here I definitely plan on returning If you want an actual tasty curry with an excellent level of service then go here
Food was amazing, nice surroundings and worth every penny so not much more to say. It's definitely worth another visit and we'll be going again soon.
My husband and I stayed here when attending the Doncaster races. This hotel is a perfect location for the races and it’s virtually on the doorstep. We only ate here on our last evening and the food was just superb! We love a curry and have ate many but this has got to be the most beautiful Indian food we have ever tasted. Every mouthful was just heaven and the service was outstanding. And it was reasonably priced too. Definitely eat here and nowhere else.
Fantastic decor, fantastic food. Friendly staff. Will definitely return
The food was fantastic! I have never been so happy with the food I was served. Portions are a very good size and well presented. We had starters and mains, both were absolutely delicious. The staff are very kind and helpful, they all had a positive attitude and always managed to accommodate to our preferences. Lovely atmosphere and cannot wait to go back soon!
A long wait for collection, but it was worth it. A beautiful meal, will get one bhaji to share next time though #Huge
