"Me and my partner fancied some Indian Cuisine and we called to order at 20:13 pm. The guy over the phone said the food will reach us in 45 mins and we live exactly 4 mins by car from the restaurant. We ordered Shawarma and Veg Briyani as main. So we called back at 9 pm to inquire about the delivery and the guy already knows that it was my partner calling and he said that the driver has not returned to the restaurant yet for our delivery so he must reach us in 5-10 mins. So they already know that they were late in delivering our food. So we waited and we got our food around 21: 20 pm. We expressed our disappointment nicely to the driver but he was so rude and he said no it is not his fault as we ordered at 20:18 pm so it's ok for us to wait for one hour different from what we were told earlier on. He was trying his best to justify himself and he had a very bad attitude whereas a simple sorry/ apology would have been accepted as if that would have taken long we would have ordered something else and he said the food at the paprika restaurant is not fast food but different ..lol we have been eating out for long and we know the difference between eating out and ordering food that is why we chose Paprika as it was the closest to our place. We then called the restaurant to say that we got the food but the driver is rude but the guy lied and he said he got the order on the receipt at 20:20 pm...when we called at 20:13 pm. So the next guy I would speak to will say that our order was placed at 20:22 pm? This would be our last order from that restaurant as they are not very nice people working but just people who lie to the customers. We are paying for the service and they are not doing any charity or favour and we expect to be treated in a fair manner. It is like we are begging for them to bring our food. Would not recommend it to no one as it is not worth it. Sorry"

"Having heard good things about this medieval themed restaurant it became quite a disappointing evening. Having made our way past the mix of centuries old looking garb and mannequins reminiscent of a cheap seaside wax works we entered the dining room. For a Saturday night...it was surprisingly empty and the few diners present were wrapped up as it was cold with just a small fan heater on the floor to take the edge off. We could of done with some earmuffs too, not because of the cold, but because of a band practicing in the room below overwhelming the background music of the restaurant. Unfortunately neither of the draft ales were available and had been taken off the menu a few weeks previous due to being unpopular. These are to be replaced by bottled ales but no one had the foresight to get actually get any in stock. And so the food arrived and the portions were huge. A pile of chicken wings for starters which were nice along with some shell on langoustines and prawns which we enjoyed. We all had the Ribeye steak for our main course which were thick cut however having asked for it Medium mine was well done. The accompanying side of chips, salad and various sauces were ok but a lot of food was wasted due to the shear size of the portions. In fairness to the staff they were very apologetic for the problems and looked after us throughout so it’s just a shame that they have presumably been let down by poor management. The bill was fair but there was just too many negatives to persuade us to return."
