Samad Cottage, a long-standing culinary fixture since 1984, offers a blend of experiences that leave patrons divided. While some laud its vegetarian options and intense flavors, others express dissatisfaction with generic sauces and inconsistent service. Decor and cleanliness appear outdated and uninviting, particularly for diners expecting a modern ambiance. Service issues, including delays and unprofessional behavior, have marred visits for some, although others commend the pleasant staff and value for money. With a prime location in Old Dronfield, the restaurant has potential but requires significant updates to meet contemporary dining standards and enhance overall customer satisfaction.
