I have been in here several times in the past by myself, with my Mum and my husband. The food is fresh and I used to enjoy the Knickerbocker Glory's alot. But the price of a big breakfast, for what you get is not as good as Roses and or Checkers. The restaurant is clean and tidy and they have toilets upstairs.
Been to the The Alma at 37 Arbour Lane several times, the food, ambiance, service and décor are always of a high standard so much so I even felt comfortable taking the in-laws when they were in town.
I have been in here several times waiting for husband to get back from London on the train or with friends from University. I like the little carriages/dining tables a bit like the ones you see on old fashioned trains and I've enjoyed a filter coffee or two in there many times. However once I was passing on my lunch break and tried to use the loo...there was a lot of fuss because I wasn't a 'patron' so I have tended to avoid this pub and stick to ones that more understanding in these emergency situations.
Been in here several times before and after the name change with friends and on my own it is a nice little pub and the cheesy chips and doorstep sandwiches were very good.
Had takeways from here a few times. Its reasonably priced and they cook the best prawn dhansak I've ever tasted. Always very sweet and tangy and goes well with the peswhari naan. Not tried many of their other menu options as dhansak is my favorite.
Eaten here a few times, especially Sunday when the food is half price. The restaurant is clean and tidy and the service is quick and efficient. The food is also very nice.
Have eaten here www.theshaad.co.uk once the day after New Year. The restaurant was nearly empty that day myself and my husband were about the only two diners and the service was very slow. Food was okay, I had something very spicy so needed to drink a lot of water to cool down. Not the worst but there are better places in town.
Have eaten here www.chadnirestaurant.co.uk with family and friends and always find the experience enjoyable. The service is very good and the decor is very glitzy, modern and glamorous. The food and the tiger beer is also good.
