The Verandah Restaurant

Food really good with large portions. Received a courtesy call to confirm they were dealingbwith my order. Arrived promptly. Small problem with the order - pilau rice was delivered when I´d actually requested peshwari naan but not a big deal

I selected medium (hot) dishes expecting a bit of a kick but they weren´t hot at all. Regardless, the food tasted great and arrived 5 minutes earlier than estimated.

Disappointing. Food arrived late, though driver did phone ahead to explain he was caught in roadworks. As a result of the lateness, the food was barely lukewarm upon arrival/opening. My real complaint is the amount of money I paid for the amount of food I got... £2.45 got me 4 tiny vegetable pakoras. 75p got me exactly ONE poppadom. One. Not three, or four. One. I can get a packet of ten in asda for a pound, and cook them in minutes, so 75p for ONE is ridiculous. £2.25 for a garlic naan is usually okay, but the garlic naan wasn´t much bigger than a hand, was stone cold upon arrival, and quite dry. Lamb curry was apparently very tough, though I didn´t have any, my flatmate did. Chicken rogan josh was quite good. All in all, quite disappointed with the amount of money I spent for what was a pretty dissatisfying meal, especially after having had rave reviews from friends.

When i arrived the staff had no record of my order \i went back wit ha menu - reordered and then the found the orignal order food was below average and not hot due to all of the delay - not sure if the problem was due to just eat or the restaurant
