Veeraswamy

Very poor. Only visit if you would like to pay stupid amount of money and tasteless food.

Highly recommend NOT to visit

Very poor food, very poor service (though the inexperienced staff try their best) and very overpriced. A real disappointment.

WIthout a doubt the best Indian meal we have ever had. The service was excellent; despite it being busy our glasses were never left to run dry and there was just the right amount of time between courses. The waiter took the time to talk to us, and the manager stopped by to check everything was satisfactory.

In reference to the last comment, there were definitely at least 2 or 3 main vegetarian options.

Overall, we cannot fault the Veeraswamy.

We went there and only veg items found are side dishes. Apparently the owner was not happy with the total amount and asked us to order more items. We immediately got up and left the place.

Andrew Wheal and Zed - my thoughts entirely. When we arrived seated in waiting area and given cocktail menu. When we said we didn't want any, they took us over to our table which had been booked! Husband loves vindaloo and was hugely disappointed with the very mild vindaloo he chose. There were no chutneys as appetisers on the table and when we spoke to them about how disappointed we were, there was no real interest. It felt as though they only wanted the maximum money from you possible. Our meal was £138 for main course only and, as Zed said, I have better meals from my local curry house in Surrey. We had told them beforehand it was a celebration for an octogenarian mother-in-law, who had enjoyed many meals at Veeraswamy in her younger days, but no acknowledgement made of this. She was just so disappointed at what had become of Veeraswamy. Decor was lovely but without the food and the attention to service, it is rather pointless. We will never ever return or recommend Veeraswamys to anyone

The previous commentators must have eaten in a differant restaurant. 4-5 star. Have been many times

Following a previous disappointing experience with Veeraswamy I am pleased to say that after a small delay the senior management did address my concerns listed in the previous post. I was also invited back to the restaurant in order for them to put right their wrongs. My second visit was much better and the food and service were much better second time round. .I intend to visit again in the future.

What a dissapointement. Having spent time organising this important team dinner, pre arranging the wines for the table, booking the private room and providing a credit authaurisation form I then found that the wines were not on the table, the private dinning room contanied two tables so teh team was split and my team was asked for payment at the end of the night. Furthermore the General Manager left me a voicemail after I raised my concerns but has never bothered to phone back or email. I shall never use Veeraswamy again and neither should anyone else. What a huge disspaointment.

Very disappointing...

Service was rushed, and staff not very friendly or polite.

Seating was uncomfortable and had to ask to move to different table as my chair/stool was so low (I am 6 foot tall).

Being indian myself, the food was rubbish and very expensive. This restaurant caters for tourist and does not sell "real" indian food of the maharaja's as they claim!

The vindaloo was more like a korma - with no spice whatsoever!

Portions were the smallest I have ever seen, and after the meal (£140 down for only two people - one drink each) we had to go for something else to eat!

Would NEVER go back or recommend this to anyone!

Can get a better curry in any local take away shop!
