Went there last night and used Taste Card. Phoned to book and was told that as long as we ordered a starter and main course each, it was fine to use card. When we got the bill at the end of our bill, a service charge had been included. When we queried this, they said that because we had used the Taste Card they have ro recoup some of the money back. This was not mentioned on the phone, so we asked them to remove the service charge and we would put our own tips. Reluctantly they eventually agreed to this, but we didn't like their attitude and they didn't even bother to say thanks for our custom or goodnight when we left. We have been loyal customers of Indiana for years and this is the first time we have had this sort of treatment. The Taste Card is not free and the restaurant should not have signed up to this if they are not happy about people using it. The drinks are overpriced in Indiana. I had a white wine and soda spritzer and was charged £5.50p for this. There wasn't much wine in the glass. My friend had a Cobra, which cost £4.45p. Indiana are certainly trying to find other ways of gaining money from their customers, but if they continue to do this, loyal customers will be going elsewhere. There are plenty of nice Indian restaurants in Tower Hamlets and Indiana staff should realise this. The waiter also overheard us talking about the Tale of India and said we should not go there, but to his restaurant. We are really unhappy with their attitude.
This is my absolute favourite restaurant in London. So good that we had our family Christmas Eve dinner there as a seasonal treat. If you want traditional well known Indian dishes, they are superb, but the owners have also included new and innovative dishes too. Generous portions, great quality, friendly service and reasonable prices. The ambiance is great too, with fresh and inviting decor, non-invasive but pleasant music. Really worth going to even if it is slightly off the beaten track.
