City Tandoori Restaurant

Awfull service. I'm an indian from Norway, and we went to this restaurant to eat, as we stayed at a hotel close to this restaurant. It didn't look so bad from the outside, but the atmosphere was dreadful. the lightning was all wrong, but fair enough, we decided that we would eat here anyway. Just to be polite, i gently asked the waiter/manager, if he spoke punjabi/hindi. In a rude manner he replied "i only speak urdu, urdu not punjabi!". At this point i felt a litte uncomfertable, but still decided to try the food. We sat down, and the waiter came straight away, as it was just a few people here this evning. he asked how many papadums we wanted, and what we would like to drink. I ordered some papadums, and said that we would order the drinks in a short while. It didn't go one min., when the waiter came back ith the papadums, and angrily asked what we would like to drink. I couldn't believe the manner of this waiter. absolutely dreadful and a shame for all indian restaurant. Who gave this waiter the job, he don't know any customervalue. I just felt like sharing my experience with other people. Don't go here if you want good service. By the way, I left straight away, without tuching the food, and went to an other place to eat...

I love this restaurant! Having eaten here many times I have found the service excellent, the staff friendly and helpful and the food delicious and fairly priced.
Despite the excellent food and great atmosphere, there is always a table without booking in advance (even on Valentines' day....)
The take away is also great.
The food is reasonably priced with dinner for two at around £30 (including wine). If you don't want more than you can eat, dont order it!

The restaurant is pricey to begin with but then the pushy waiters pressure you to order more than you can eat and then put whatever they like on the bill regardless of what you'd prefer. £4 for poppadoms - must be a new record! Food was ok but left a sour taste in the mouth after recieveing the bill. A more honest approach from the staff and fairer pricing would improve the restaurant and bring it to the statndard of the many other restaurants in the area.
