We have been to the Chilli Bar on a number of occasions, and never been disappointed with the food and the service. As my previous review will confirm.Tonight was the polar opposite. We had a table booked for 8pm, we arrived 5 minutes early and shown to our table which was right in the middle of the restaurant.From this promising beginning we were expecting a good meal, after 20 minutes we were still sitting and waiting for a menu and someone to offer us drinks and poppadoms.We eventually asked a passing waiter for a couple of menus, he bought these over and said âIâll get someone to take your order for drinks âAfter being ignored for another 15 minutes we stood up and left, not challenged by anyone on the way out.Very disappointing Chilli BarHello Andrew Iâm sorry to learn of your disappointment at the level of service you received. As you will agree this is highly unusual. Please do contact me directly at [email protected] so that I can investigate this further.Kind regards Kashim

Having recently moved to the area, I have used this venue many times, reading trip advisor thought it sounded great. Unfortunately the last few times I have had food the chicken has been very dry, it was like it was cooked separately in the oven with no cover (dried out) not cut into pieces and placed in Korma sauce, this was over coloured yellow.Tikka sauce tasted like Korma sauce but bright pink! Two of the popaddoms looked and tasted as if they were put into oil that was not hot enough but still put in between more cooked popaddoms.I had to take my order back, not happy with any of it.I first asked if they had changed chefs, I was told they havenât, when I explained and showed staff what was wrong with my order, they looked puzzled!Did not appeared bothered and gave me my money back.If reading this New Taj Mahal... please look into this. Please ask yourself.... is this something you would serve your loved ones. Iâm sure the answer would be ânoâ Also please attend to the sign outside.Kerbside appeal. Hi there...we are sorry that you had bad experience with our food....I read all of your word that you mentioned we used yellow colour on kurma also you said we coockd chicken separately .......etc... I would like to let you know. That....we are first indian restaurant in this town since 1972 ...from my thought we never had issues like this before...every day we sell same kurma no one has any issues .....when you came we didn't have any issues with refund we were happily refund your money....didn't have any "pazzeld or hasle"

olive is fast becoming the chosen favourite amongst 'curry' lovers. Our five star master chefs are dedicated to bringing our wide range of patrons the most authentic Indian cuisine.

Excellent. A modern Indian restaurant specialising in Indian street food. There is an extensive menu with some items, which you would not usually find in an Indian restaurant. There are a variety of vegetarian options. The staff were friendly and helpful in making suggestions from the menu, service was prompt and the food was delicious. The paneer tawa with coconut and ilme rice was lovely. Others in our party had prawn and chicken options for this dish. We also loved the herby potato naan and aubergine and peanut side dish. As noted by other customers, there is no car park as the restaurant is just off the "Magic Roundabout" so parking can be difficult if you are not lucky enough to get one of the spaces on the road outside. We had a great meal here and will return.

Really bad experience at this place as both food is of a poor quality and service lacking. The starters and mains were poorly presented, bland and under-spiced with little flavour. The "duck" was tough and inedible, the lamb chops tasteless, hardly any meat on them and covered with a thick, heavy sauce. Service unfriendly and curt. I would not recommend and I will not go back
