What People Are Saying

There have also been portion and value concerns, with chicken pakora described as pathetic portion of about 7 bits of scrappy pakora, and reviewers noting they were charged £8, so they assumed it must be only a large portion they do, but to be handed this pathetic portion must be a late April fools joke. The food safety concerns are such that reviewers note the chicken wings are half cooked and likely to cause salmonella, which is a critical safety issue.

Portion sizes receive mixed feedback, with reviewers describing them as great portion size, and one reviewer noting the mixed grill would feed 4 and they weren't expecting so much.

However, there have been serious concerns raised about food safety (including half cooked chicken wings likely to cause salmonella), portion sizes (including pathetic portions for high prices), and value (including poor value for money). The combination of generally good food when quality is consistent, but serious food safety and portion concerns, makes it a problematic experience, and the restaurant would benefit from addressing food safety protocols, ensuring proper cooking standards, and ensuring appropriate portion sizes and value to ensure all guests have safe and positive experiences.

Asked for chicken pakora, get charged £8 so assumed it must be only a large portion they do… to be handed this pathetic portion of about 7 bits of scrappy pakora must be a late April fools joke.
