Best KPortal Reviews
My husband adores Indian food, me, not so much. Whilst holidaying nearby we had ourselves a takeaway.
It was amazing. Even I thoroughly enjoyed the fresh and extremely tasty food.
We have sampled the Indian cuisine all over the UK and this was by far the best (Greenwich being the worst!)
The service was spot on too. Fabulous
We visited sat 30th March when we arrived it was absolute casos, but once we were seated it calmed down. We all throughly enjoyed our food and there was 8 of us that couldn’t fault it! All the staff were attentive and we couldn’t fault them. Maybe I would say change to seating times too ensure people have finished so maybe do 17:30-19:30 and then the next sit time at 20:00 so they have too time too clear up and be ready for the next lot. We will be back next time we visit withensea
So our booking was for 7.30pm Saturday 30th March.
We arrived to see a large queue formed outside. After chatting to a few other ppl stood in the cold who had also booked for 7.30pm we realised they have 2 sittings, 5.30pm and 7.30pm. There were lots of ppl still seated from the previous sitting. After around 15 mins we were seated at the tiniest table with 2 seats behind a coffee machine. Not the best seat in the house but at least we were in.
After 40 mins wait we were asked if we would like poppadoms and pickle tray, which actually arrived promptly. We had discussed between ourselves what we wanted to eat and I popped to the toilet which incidentally was clean, when I came back the manager was at the table taking our order. We always order to share as neither of us can finish a dish off each, so we ordered a sizzling starter for 2, a chicken bhuna, pilau rice and a garlic naan in which my hubby was told we couldn't share we would have to order a dish each. This put my back up instantly, but to save making a fuss we agreed to.
Stater came, fish masala was raw, batter was soggy so I knew instantly it wasn't cooked. We called over the manager to explain in which he asked us to scoop it from the plate and he would take it away. At this point my hubby was adament he didn't want another starter or to eat this one. I ate a little of the chicken from it and the rest was left as even the kebab looked raw in the middle. The manager then stated we wouldn't pay for the starter, which was fair enough as we hadn't really touched it.
Then came our main, I can see why we were told to have 1 each as there were 6 pieces of chicken in the bhuna some of which were barley cooked. Rice was nice along with the garlic naan. This place is chaotic to say the least, the booking system doesn't work, which is clear to see by everyone who visits, the manager was fraught and greedy. The food cooking was rushed to make up time we were actually waiting to be seated and to order. Sadly we won't be returning, which is sad because we were really looking forwards to making it our go to date night place while visiting our caravan
Had a lovely meal last night 30/3/24 couldn't fault the food one of the nicest Indians I've had and the rest of our party said the same..... we had our doubts when we arrived as it was chaotic but the staff were very polite and did their best to sort everything out for everyone we will definitely go back when we are next in withernsea x
The food was not very nice bland ordered a chicken korma , chicken tikka masala, Balti chicken tikka korma and it all tasted like a chicken korma very gritty paste like texture just tasted as if they chucked suger in to cook, 4 dry piece's of chicken in each dish also ordered garlic naan bread what was just plain naan (the best part of this meal was the naan) the mushroom rice was ok
Also ordered a prawn puree it was meant to be fluffy and like pastry but it comes like a fried poppadom soaked in oil it was awful
Went to the shop to complain to the manager about the food he wasn't interested at all. He said the food is cooked the way the people of Withernsea like it i was baffled they must just like chicken korma and being ripped off
For the price of this £56 pounds I could have cooked this meal better my self for less with ingredients from Aldi .
Even the microwave meals from Aldi taste better and more true then this restaurant.
I wont be returning to this restaurant at all and we're down in Withernsea quite often as we own a caravan.
Best Regards
Went in mid-morning on a whim as we liked the quirky premise of a coffee shop with an Indian twist. The coffee itself was excellent and the food (chapli plate and shami plate) was delicious and a lovely change from the usual seaside fayre of fish and chips. The service was very pleasant and polite. Sadly we were only passing through as I wouldn't hesitate to visit here again.
Really SMALL portions for the starters for the price they charge, curries were OK if a little salty,delivery was good and on time.
Great place for a curry. Great service wonderful food and can bring your own drinks
