sTaGeWaLkEr Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Occasional moments of brilliance in the food though. This I would agree with. Unfortunately it's all so unpredictable. As a booker for large events I expect both quality and consistency - every time. Not just when the Chef's in a good mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfriday Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Only one meal there...terrible. It must be kept alive by the charitable chattering classes of S10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 We went approximately 7 years ago. Even though we ordered different meals (with different meat), they were basically the same gloupy slop, tasted identical. As with many here, we really wanted to like it, but it was quite terrible. We were the only ones in the place and the waitress and (I assume) the owner just sat on the table next to us doing the books and basically making us feel uncomfortable. Suffice to say, we never went back. No atmosphere, poor food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melv Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 If you go in a big group don't be talked into the banquet menu...it's stodge + stodge. If you decide to give it a go, try the mutton curry, it's excellent. BTW, I like the sign in the window..."Romantic African Drumming" :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJP Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 We went there about 5 years ago and I have never had such slow service (2hrs+). From the sounds of it that hasn't improved. No one wants to rush a meal out but there comes a point where everyone's getting annoyed because they're hungry. Maybe have a meal first before going?

nick2 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I've been twice, the service is awful but the food is ok, not fantastic, just ok. Had the most horrible ocra in my life there, it was like a bowl of wallpaper paste with green bits in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen P Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 We go at least 4 or 5 times a year for birthdays and anniversary's, in fact we are there for a family meal thursday, never had any complaints, and there is always something on the menu for everyone.

komal Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 i like the little stalls that they have at summer festivals and the food from there is always good love the cous cous and mushroom stew mmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellielambert Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I have been once for a friend's birthday and really enjoyed it. Yes it is a little surreal and the service can at times be slow but it is a truly delightful place and I enjoyed my meal a lot. It's great because it is so different to all the chain restaurants and fast buck profiteering restaurants that dominate the market nowadays. You get really friendly service and a free drumming lesson if you are lucky. A real one off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
