Description

Thaal Indian Restaurant presents a complex tapestry of dining experiences, blending exceptional cuisine with inconsistent service. While many patrons rave about the delicious dishes—from succulent seekh kebabs to delightful vegan options—service quality remains a concern. Instances of long waits, perceived neglect, and staff indifference have marred special occasions for some diners. Conversely, others report friendly, attentive service that enhances their meal. Despite these mixed reviews, the inviting atmosphere and delectable food keep guests returning, hoping for a consistently pleasant experience. For lovers of Asian cuisine, the food truly shines, making it worth a visit.

I made a reservation for 7:30 last Saturday, but when I arrived at 7:20, I was asked to wait. Our drink order was finally taken after 8, and we didn't sit down at our table until after 8:30. We didn't receive our food until just after 9, and there were no apologies. It seemed like they prioritized walk-ins or overbooked customers over those who had reservations.

Our party of 6 have just been for a birthday celebration, we all enjoyed the meal from the pickle tray, starter and main meal we didn’t have enough room for desserts, but it must be the best I’ve had in ages, the staff were friendly and helpful and well priced too won’t be long before we’re back 10/10

Lovely food and great service, we haven't been here for a couple of years but the food was amazing and we will definitely be back soon. We were a table of 4 and we all really enjoyed our meal. Service was great, we didn't need to wait for our drinks to be topped up.

This is the third time we have visited this restaurant. Last night was for my husband’s birthday. It was a Monday and Halloween. I booked a table for 7:30pm for 3. The first time we visited the restaurant in August everything went really well. Great food and service. Second visit was a Friday night and the service was poor but again the food was good. I thought I would give it another go as the poor service could just have been a one off!! How wrong I was. Only one other family in the restaurant when we arrived and they soon left leaving us the only people in the whole place you would have thought that this would have resulted in excellent service but it was completely the opposite. The owner treated us like we were a complete inconvenience! Never smiled huffing and puffing at us. There was a young man who rolled his eyes every time we asked for anything. Only one member of staff who smiled and was polite. It was such an awful experience if it wasn’t for the fact that it was my husband’s birthday and that the food was nice I really wanted to leave. We will not be visiting again. If you do not want people to come to your restaurant on a Monday night then please don’t take the booking! I so wish we had gone somewhere else!!! Disappointed and upset that my husband’s birthday meal was spoilt!!!
