"Arrogant, overrated and super rude waiter and waitress. If you want to wasted you money to be treated like a piece of garbage, then by all means go there. I am a local. I live in Willesden Green and I have many friends who live in the area. My child goes to school there, and i am friend with the parents of my child's friends who all live in the area. During the pandemic, we tried to help the small local businesses such as Sanzio. We went there in June, with some of our friends families, with children, of us in total) on a Sunday. There were people, good turnover, but not packed (there were several free tables). Service was slow, waiters don't look at customers, they look at their feet so it was always challenging to grab their attention but we didn't mind the slow service as it was a sunday (in June and we wanted to relax and not put pressure on the staff. We ordered a lot: wine, starters, mains...we got there at We had no idea we had the table for just hours (the waiters did not even tell us or reminded us). Yet at precisely a waiter (who did not wear any face mask by the way. there is sign at the restaurant that people had to wear face masks until they seat at their table, yet on of their waiters did not wear a face mask at all) came to our table, gave us the bill and told us to vacate in min because our table was booked for just like that, out of the blue... We were shocked obviously since we have been struggling to catch their attention and besides, there were tables (seating people in total) that were empty. My wife complained that they could have informed us when we made the booking. One of the waitress then came (even more arrogant and rude that the maskless waiter) and told my wife it was in the booking. When you booked, we told you you had hours My wife showed her the booking confirmation that there is no indication of hours. The waitress left and came back min later to show my wife the h booking does not appear in the confirmation email but it appears when you make the booking She then shoved her mobile phone onto my wife's face Look, it shows here: you have hours Impressive, the waitress proved her point that she was right. Hurrah, hurrah.... at the people who booked our table for arrived but as there were many empty tables, they were more than happy to sit at another free table, so the same waitress cam and told us Oh, you can stay because the other guests don't mind sitting at another table. You are lucky, you can stay longer and order desserts We couldn't believe our ears we were lucky?? To give you our hard earned money in a time of pandemic when most hospitality businesses likes your are closing down... The prices are very high. You'd pay the same prices as you would in touristic areas like Oxford street, for the same, or even worse, ok food and rubbish service. There are many other good Italian local restaurants, just across the corner. My family shall never step foot in that restaurant ever again."

"Very surprised to read some of the reviews from visitors at TigerBay Shisha and Carlton Lounge as we have always had excellent service and the food is some of the best Indian dishes we have had.We were seated inside the TigerBay Shisha Lounge however as this has open sides all round and even an open roof in warmer days or nights, we felt completely safe and COVID protected. The evening was very busy but had a great atmosphere and we didn’t feel cramped or as if we were too near to other customers. The music especially with the appearance of DJ Shraii gives something a little bit extra special than other venues.All members of staff wore face masks and we noticed they politely reminded any customers to use their masks when not seated at their tables.The food is always hot and you can hear the sizzle plates sizzling as the food is served. Portions are really generous and we usually find it hard choosing from all the delicious dishes on offer.The mocktails are especially good and the fruity versions topped with fresh and sweet fruit. We have not tried the Shisha varieties however talking to people we met last week, they said the choices are good and flavours excellent quality. So even without Shisha being available at the moment under Covid rules, TigerBay Shisha Lounge is a great venue.We are looking forward to spending many more summer evenings especially in the garden area which is beautifully filled with gorgeous plants and makes you feel you are on holiday and not just on an evening out.Keep doing what you do so well TigerBay Shisha and Carlton Lounge."
