    Took over 30 mins to get a drink & over 2 hours to get food - curry night - given one small bowl of rice for 4 people- was hard & dry - clearly the leftovers from the bottom of the pot - lamb curry had no meat just gravy - one prawn in the Thai curry - soggy potatoes - just a very disappointing meal - won’t be back - had nothing to do with being understaffed - plenty of waiters just no one paying attention & an indifferent attitude from management
