The Bombay Brasserie

Organised for a small group from work to go one evening. Worried I could not get through on telephone, I walked over early and saw the opening times stated 5pm. My group arrived at 5:15pm on this evening, and not only was the restaurant closed,...but the lights were all off and we could see no sign at all that told us they would be opening. Arranged to go somewhere else instead and decided we wouldn't try here again.

Ordered a meal for three, for home delivery. Not very good. Could not tell the difference between two of the three meals. Meals were not particularly enjoyable, seemed to be reheated from yesterday (could of been a lot longer if I was honest). I have...eaten better supermarket micro meals than the ones delivered. The cost was also over the top judged against our experience.

Short walk from town centre near railway. Not in a very pretty part of town and doesn't look great from the street. Inside is basic but menu has tons of choice. Food was quick, well presented and full of flavour.

I attempted to eat here a while ago. I should have followed my first instinct on walking in and turned around and walked straight out. We went for an evening meal with friends and on walking in the restaurant is dingy, but the clincher for...me was the fish tank. You couldn't see any fish in there as it was green! If there were any in there I doubt they'd have lasted long. As it was we ordered our starters and to be fair I did enjoy mine. It was quite pleasant. Maybe it was the cloudy glass (assumed it had been through the glass washer too many times) of water but within minutes of half a glass of water and my starter I started feeling very poorly. Managed to get home and was violently ill all night. My husband and friends didn't feel to great but got away with any other effects. I know I'm very fussy when it comes to food but wild horses couldn't drag me in there again.

A friend and I went for a meal on the way home from a day out, was late and the restaurant was empty, never a good sign but was getting on so needed something to eat after long day out. The starters were ok, but...the main, well lets just say I'm glad I had a starter, the curry was so full of either fat or grease it just wasn't edible, like trying to eat a block of warm lard, disgusting texture, I just about managed to eat the lamb but the sauce was so bad it put me off eating the rest. As for the service, my friend, luckily, had roughly calculated the total cost while we ordered, and this was just as well as the bill was over by five pounds, when called across the waiter was adamant the bill was correct but my friend refused to believe him asking for a detailed breakdown rather than the scribble he had first offered us. When added up the bill total was obviously wrong and they made a right song and dance over how it could possibly be over, banging away on their calculator several times before admitting they were wrong. Now I'm not going to accuse anyone of any wrong doing but the over charging added a bitter taste to my grease filled mouth.
