The Crown Whitchurch

Only went in for dinner, and it was the worst Indian food I've ever had. Both curries we ordered were supposed to be served on a sizzling dish but they both arrived in a cold bowl and were so salty they were literally inedible. The lemon rice also was so salty we couldn't eat it. The peshwari naan was the only edible thing but it was clearly not made in the kitchen and came from a packet. When we complained to the FOH manager he was extremely rude and offered us a 20% discount for a load of food we had about 2 mouthfuls of. Terrible service, terrible atmosphere, would recommend you save your money and dine elsewhere because this was a truly shocking experience. We ended up paying £36 for a few poppadoms and a bit of bread. Oh and the beers were just cans from the fridge put into a pint glass. Overall the experience was absolutely terrible.

Despite the recent bad reviews we decided to try the restaurant as it's only a mile to walk from our hotel. From the outside it looks shabby certainly could do with some TLC. The meal was excellent, the manager was trying to do all the serving himself which was nice in a way as it gave us chance for our food to go down between servings. There was a musty smell around the men's toilets which you have to pass to get to the ladies. I'd be happy to dine there again.
