The Six Bells - Reading

I don't even want to give 1 star to this restaurant. The worst ever chilli paneer that I have tried here. It is just some gravy with just plain paneer. They didn't even cook the paneer in this gravy. They just sliced the paneer and dropped in that gravy. How can someone cook such kind of worst chilli paneer.

Chicken cooked well but rice is from a microwave packet and spinach is from a can, will never go back for the £77.00 bill. I know the difference between fresh and microwave and tinned. I do not recommend

A perfect alternative to where we initially intended to eat nearby, would go out of my way to return here. Pub, and curry?! Perfect infusion. Decent cocktails, grub, and dessert. Very tidy pub, looks like it has been refurbished and well maintained. Prices were fine too, £160 for four with drinks, mains, two desserts.

Took a phone booking and could not find it. Did ask if I had booked under a different name. Then said you booked a table for 4 and only two of you. I did not bother to explain that we were meeting people. They just kept looking at each other. I said not to worry and walked out. They did offer to find us a table by the time we were at the door. The worst service I have ever received. We as a group have eaten in most Indian restaurants in reading.

There was only one choice for a breakfast option and we decided to order one each. Unfortunately neither one of us thought much of the meal. The guy took our order by memory and either forgot or didn’t hear that one of us ordered the breakfast. So he only brought one meal out. He didn’t even think to question the fact we had only one meal between us. But when we asked if another breakfast was coming out, he refused point blank to believe we both asked for one! The food was barely warm when it arrived and obviously one of us had nearly finished eating by the time the second meal arrived. The fried egg was hard with no runny yolk. The rest was very dry as we literally only had a spoonful of beans in a small bowl. The butter looked like it had just come from the fridge so was a solid block and therefore not easily spreadable on the toast. Prices weren’t too bad at £15 a head including a glass of juice and a hot drink each. But considering the meal was poor it was not £30 well spent! As we were leaving a group of people ordered lunches and when their meal arrived it did look and smell lovely. My advice would be to go for lunch/ dinner and order from the Indian menu. But stay away from the breakfast.
