Verandah Indian Restaurant

"We’ve recently ordered and collected take-away food from Verandah. I’d say it’s easily one of the best Indian restaurants we’ve used from a food perspective, the dishes were really nicely cooked, great flavour and hot when we collected the food. Looks and tastes like each dish is cooked fresh. The chilli masala is awesome! We haven’t eaten in the restaurant yet, but I’m sure we will soon."

"The food was great with plenty of choice on the menu. Dealt with a customer with a nut allergy easily. Service very good. Only downside is that parking near to the restaurant us a bit of an issue."

"The food was lovely and the service was fine during the meal. But getting a bit of a telling-off from the owner about requesting different tables when they were available was rather odd. We didn't want to sit in the 'cinema room' or next to the water feature where the sound of a water pump went right through our heads. It was a busy venue, but to be told we could only be moved as a 'gesture of goodwill' was very odd. According to the owner, one couldn't book a specific table on a Friday or Saturday night but he contradicted himself by saying that some customers had done precisely that. We certainly won't go back on those days of the week again and will think very carefully if we want to go back at all even for the excellent food. An embarrassing experience!"

"Verandah Indian Restaurant – poor food, service & dismissive staff - avoid! My recommendation based on my visit to Verandah Indian restaurant would be to choose another Indian restaurant. Here is a quick overview of my experience. 1. Ignored on arrival at the restaurant 2. Waved at by the waiter to come in and take our seat 3. Given one menu between 4 people 4. Given no drinks menu, then had to ask to place a drinks order 5. Asked 3 times to order 6. Waiting 25minutes to order 7. Seeing the table next to us cheer when their food arrived, putting us off ordering starters 8. Waiting staff came across rude 9. The restaurant atmosphere was rushed, chaotic and loud 10. 1hr 30min wait for our food 11. No check back by restaurant staff 12. Nobody asked us if we needed anymore drinks 13. We asked for the bill multiple times 14. Our feedback based on our experience was dismissed by staff when we highlighted our concerns. They came across rude and full of excuses 15. Following multiple emails, the restaurants final proposal to rectify this issue was to offer 10% off a future bill. (I politely declined as previously mentioned I would avoid this restaurant) Having read previous reviews for Verandah Indian Restaurant I recognise some of what others have written about the abrupt dismissive tone of the staff."

"Wonderful food and very friendly staff. The atmosphere is great in the restaurant"
