IluvStaffys 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. isn't okra like wallpaper paste wherever you go yak nasty stuff. my mate used to work there put it this way, i would never eat from there knowing what i know :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaFan Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 It's probably worth going once for the experience. But eat first, 'cos you'll be starving by the time your food gets to your table! And if you don't like food too salty, you should ask them to go easy on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 isn't okra like wallpaper paste wherever you go yak nasty stuff. Is it ? I thought they had done something wrong to it.

The smaller the okra, the less slimey. The older and bigger they get, the worse they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mort Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Don't bother trying to get them to deliver, it's a total waste of time, they have to get a taxi to do it and then they want to charge you a tenner extra, and then the food doesn't arrive for 4 hours and when it does it's cold and not what you ordered.

00Soul Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 i went some time ago in a big group and it was really really slow and not great when it came ... they did get drums out and it was fun but would never go again. I might have been in that party! The owner was a lovely friendly bloke, but sadly the service and food were awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
