Verandah Indian Restaurant

Possibly one of my worst restaurant experiences to date. Table wasn’t ready, and they wouldn’t allow us to sit on a different table. Instead they thought it was better hospitality to end another table’s dinner early and ask them to leave. As they left they uttered the words ‘we would have liked a dessert’. They then sat us as they bussed the table and literally, threw a plate at my place at the table. The explanation was ‘the waiting staff are busy’. That was the final straw. 15 minutes waiting, despite empty tables, then waiting staff that were just so rude but ‘busy’. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else.

6 of us arrived for our reservation, we arrived on time however were told our table was not ready. The guy who spoke to us seemed somewhat stressed. We didn’t feel welcomed, more of an inconvenience. I asked why we couldn’t have the table ready in front of us, only to be told this was for a “reservation” Somewhat perplexed as we had reserved, so I have no idea why our booking was less important. We agreed to wait but were asked to wait outside, again this didn’t feel like we were welcome. At this point they asked another table to leave, allowing us to sit, the gents commented as they left that a dessert would have been nice. Upon being seated by an agitated staff member the final straw was a plate being tossed in front of my friend by the same unhappy member of staff. At this point we decided enough was enough and left! I hate leaving bad reviews so service truly has to be poor for me to do it. Won’t visit again but will go back to the restaurant we went to after here.

Very loud. Slow service. Food was cooked fresh (big plus) but staff not very attentive.

A pre Christmas get together with friends. Good food and good service.
