    The restaurant was bizarrely closed when they had in fact confirmed a booking for me and my daughter for a pre-theatre lunch, which was a huge disappointment as we’d come from an hour away. We used to order take away from here when we lived in London and were so excited to try out the restaurant as we loved the food! I didn’t receive any messages to cancel the booking, no calls, etc. We simply arrived to find the whole place shut, so disappointing. I understand things can happen but I would prioritise letting my customers with bookings know that the restaurant has had to close due to unforeseen circumstances so people aren’t surprised when they arrive at your doorstep.

    Our chicken masala satay and shish kebab were tasteless, the Pataka fries were missing the pataka! Disappointing as we’ve been before and loved it. Won’t be going again or recommending

    Food was excellent! Service was good too. So we had an enjoyable meal but the ambience could have been better - the tables were more like that of a cafe and the busy pavement was only a couple of yards away. It wasn't cheap, but it was New Year's Eve. I guess all prices have gone up too. Because of the good food and service we consider it a success. Perhaps booking a table upstairs might have improved the ambience problem.

    Christmas Day dinner- fixed price per person - 49 gbp. Service was extremely slow. Took 3.5 hours for a dinner for 4. Ordered, waited at least 30 minutes and they forgot the order. Had to re order. Very disappointing experience. Food was average. There’s a reason that Punjab is the place to go for a great Indian experience; not Pataka!

    Food was fantastic. The staff were nice but never came to check on our table. Forgot items in our order. Brought out the bottle of wine we ordered AFTER the food came out. Our waitress didn’t seem to know what she was doing unfortunately.

    The food was absolutely wonderful & I can definitely recommend it. The service was friendly and attentive. Dining ambiance could be improved by having table cloths or place mats & the television only downstairs in the bar area.

    Thank you so much for your review Silvie The TV upstairs is now ON and working ready in time for the next set of World Cup matches. Look forward to seeing you again.
