Hayfield - Tower Hamlets

We chose Hayfield Masala for a recent engagement party, and it is important to share our experience, both the positives and the negatives, in order to provide an honest review. The day started off slowly, as upon arrival we found that the restaurant did not have enough tables set up for our guests, causing a delay. Despite giving clear instructions, the main stage for the bride and groom was set up in the wrong part of the restaurant. While attempts were made to correct this mistake, they were met with frustration and confrontation. Unfortunately, the day did not run smoothly after this initial error. It is regrettable to say that there were significant issues with...

I am a huge fan of curry in all its varieties - from hot curry to mild curry, Indian curry to Thai curry, and even Caribbean curry. That's why I have to say that the curry at The Hayfield is truly exceptional. The sauces are delicious and filled with tender meat pieces (unlike some places where you only get a few chunks). My favorite is the korma - so rich and creamy. However, I have also tried other dishes and can confirm they are just as delicious. The appetizers are tempting, and while I didn't have room for dessert, I have no doubt they would be just as fantastic. Surprisingly, the restaurant doesn't seem to be very busy, which is a bit of a mystery... but it definitely deserves more attention.

We decided to try Hayfield Masala after a long day. Unfortunately, our experience went downhill from there. Despite the restaurant being empty, the service was extremely poor. The food was also disappointing, with the vindaloo tasting like it had an overwhelming amount of chili powder. The other dishes we ordered were not enjoyable either, which was a shame as they were local specialties.
