"This was our fourth attempt at dining at this restaurant. Despite the big sign outside saying it was open, it was closed when we came three previous occasions. The car park is dimly lit, with no marked bays, and there is no indication of where you should park. There are plant pots along one edge which you cannot see in the dark, so can easily scratch your car. The restaurant is nicely laid out but looks like a function room, waiting for the tables to be removed for the next function. On the table setting the knives faced outwards, which I had never seen in a restaurant before, but the tables looked nice. I ordered a Diet Coke, which arrived lukewarm with a single small ice cube in it and no lemon. It tasted like Coke Zero, much sweeter than Diet Coke. We started with the mini pappadums, which were not totally unlike pappadums small and crispy. They came with some sweet sauces but no achar. The chicken tikka croquettes were bright red but not very spicy, accompanied by a perfectly acceptable mango sauce. These were followed by a plate of 5 garlic prawns, which were pleasantly garlicky. The main course was a bright red 'Old Delhi Butter Chicken ' it was totally unlike any butter chicken I had ever seen. The sauce was very 'tomatoey ' and bland. The chicken had a strange mushy, pasty quality almost like it had been reconstituted or at least frozen and cooked for a long time. My wife had the kitchen curry, which was also bright red and bland. The nan was different from a normal nan thicker and more bread like. It was not what we were expecting. We often travel to India, and this was quite unlike any Indian food we have ever had before. Overall I would rate the experience as 'confusing '."
