Description

At Anica, diners encounter a blend of experiences ranging from delightful to disappointing. While many appreciate the cozy atmosphere and friendly service, there's a growing concern over inconsistent food quality and delivery issues. Reports of missing items, cold meals, and unresponsive management have soured some customers' experiences. Conversely, others extol the virtues of the restaurant, praising flavorful dishes and a return to form after a dip in quality. Overall, while Anica demonstrates potential through its appealing environment and select standout dishes, it faces challenges in consistency and service that warrant attention from management.

My partner ordered takeout tonight and unfortunately, they got our order wrong. I ordered chicken tikka masala, but what I received was not CM at all. It was extremely spicy and had a completely different taste. My partner's order was correct, but his food leaked into mine, ruining both the rice and my incorrect main dish. The naan breads were also burnt. This used to be our favorite restaurant, but they have seriously declined in quality. This isn't the first time they've messed up our order, and we are now hesitant to order from them again. We were told we would receive a refund from the manager, but we have not heard anything. Definitely recommend avoiding this restaurant.

Excellent food and service. Very attentive without being overly in your face every 5 minutes. Extremely tasty and portion sizes were perfect. Nice to see a restaurant provide decent portions! Would highly recommend eating in so you experience the service. We would not have found this without our Taxi driver giving us some guidance as the restuarant is not sign posted anywhere. When you see Poundland, there is an alleyway next to it. The signs above the alleyway say toilet. Don’t walk past it! Go through the alleyway and you enter a square. The restaurant is on your right as soon as you get to the square.

Do not order a delivery from here. We tried last night and they missed out part of the order. We called to complain and they clearly didn’t care. There was no apology. It took over an hour before they sent the missing item and by the time we received it it was stone cold. I would never use them again because of the fact they didn’t care at all with no attempt to apologise. We had to ring them again after waiting a hour to receive the missing item and then it took another 15 mins before it arrived and it was stone cold. Service was abysmal avoid like the plague!!!!!!

My partner ordered a takeaway tonight and they got our order wrong. I ordered chicken tikka masala and although it said it on the packet it certainly wasn't CM. It was extremely spicy and tasted nothing like it. My partners order was correct however, his food leaked in all of ours. Rice and my main dish that was wrong. Naan breads were both burnt. This used to be our favourite place but they've massively gone downhill. This isn't the first time they've messed our order. It has put us off now ordering from them again as its been to many times. We were also promised a phone call from the manager for refund but we haven't heard anything!! Definitely avoid. Food: 1 Service: 1

It's often said that there are four or five foodie staples that you simply must find when moving to a new area. Unsurprisingly, a good curry house is one of these, and Anica is this for me; the food is delicious, portions are generous, and prices are good. I've had a couple of disappointing experiences with other Indian restaurants in the area (nothing major, just some watery sauces, high prices for what you get, and the like) but no such concern with Anica; thoroughly recommend. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5
