Saimah;s had become our regular monthly haunt for a curry and drink post winter cricket nets, a minimum of 10 of us have attended each month . The food has always been a of a reasonable standard and service is generally good. Sadly, tonight is the last time we will go as a group as the restaurant got the bill wrong and over charged us. We challenged the bill and were told we were wrong, when we explained the error the wait staff went away for a while and then said that the boss had told them that if we didn't pay for the mischarged round of drinks, then it would be deducted from their wages. Emotional blackmail at it;s best. We all agreed to pay the enhanced rate, but we will never again darken their door.
Hilarious. The funniest curry I've ever had. On entering the restaurant, the staff, visibly annoyed by our arrival, seemed as if they wanted to but could not credibly refuse our entry. This was partly due to us doing nothing wrong, but mainly because of the amount of free tables we could clearly see. Superb comic expressions on their faces of which the likes of Laurel and Hardy would be proud. A great start. My friends were all hungry, excited and looking forward to a big curry. I on the other hand, only a couple of hours prior had managed to sink a pretty hefty 3 meat roast. I told this to the waiter, explaining that because I wasn't particularly hungry I would only have a starter. The waiter, with impeccable deadpan comic timing, made it very clear that the only option was to have an £11 four course meal. In spite of this, I attempted to order what I wanted - a shared starter for 2. He said that I was not allowed to have this because I would not be able to eat all of it, telling me that "this is too much food" and insisting once again that I have a full four course meal. I tried to tell him that a £7 shared starter, although being for 2 people, must surely still be smaller than a full four courses. I also pointed out that £7 is cheaper than the £11 four course offer. A mastered look of confusion and incomprehension followed as the waiter contorted his face to quizzically scowl at me. I knew I was beaten. I would not be able to outperform this masterclass. After being told a 2 person starter was too much food, I was obliged to order 3 unwanted courses. It was nice though. The best novelty curry experience I've ever had. Another member of our party attempted to order a Chicken Tikka Massala on the grounds that he was slightly drunk and so wanted something uncultured and anglicised. When the food arrived he was presented with a Chicken Saag. Realising there must have been some sort of mistake, he politely explained that he did not order this food, expecting the usual restaurant protocol of the correct meal being apologetically brought out slightly delayed. Not here. Not this pro! Instead, the waiter informed him that the Chicken Saag was in fact a much better order than what he had ordered anyway, so he should just have it. My friend politely tried to ask again for the meal he ordered. But despite the menu praising the Chicken Tikka Massala as "the UK's best & most popular dish", the waiter continued to incredulously retort "but this is better", bewilderedly pointing at the Chicken Saag, unable to comprehend the notion that someone would prefer to have what they ordered, rather than what he personally preferred. As with myself, my friend knows when he is beaten. Realising his only option was to extend this impenetrable pantomime farce to a slower yet still inevitable defeat, he obliged and began eating the Chicken Saag. Only a professional comedian would have a chance. Another absolute masterclass from the waiter. Not content with a 2-0 victory, the waiter, now on a hattrick, came back 5 minutes later with yet more comedy gold. In the middle of eating his randomly allocated curry, my friend was interrupted to be informed that the curry he hadn't ordered but was forced to accept was not only better than what he wanted, but also healthier. The waiter, as if making the assumption that the only possible explanation for someone ordering a Chicken Tikka Massala must be some sort of error and that they must not actually know what it is, explained to my friend that a Chicken Tikka Massala contains lots of sugar and cream. Then with impeccable comic timing once again, he pointed towards the visibly oily Chicken Saag, championing its health benefits. Another member of our party ordered a Lamb Karahi which was unexpectedly accompanied by a huge jug of yogurt. A hilarious prop. The toilet blew me away. It was like entering a different dimension. It was both inside and outside simultaneously and was one of the largest vibe shifts I've experienced in West Yorkshire. A laugh a minute, would recommend to anyone. Fantastic.
Attended this place to collect takeaway recently only to be disappointed by the quality of the product i.e the mix starter was poor to say the least , the Tikka was hard. The kebab was hard and crumbly what there was of it! The curries ,one looked like slop,and had little taste? the other was hot and oily. This was a pleasant establishment when I last visited but things have changed for the worst on this experience. I presume that standards and quality of food greatly improve when one dines in and that this only applies to take outs?
Best curry I have ever had. Nawabi.. either chicken or lamb. The only place I have found that sells this truly remarkable Curry, and I have had a few curries in my time up and down the country.
Fantastic. Extensive menu and just the best garlic naan, super light, buttery and delicious. From start to finish a culinary delight and a superb deal on a Sunday evening, popular for a very good reason.
Horrible place and service. They did not get basics right. I booked table for 3 day before the visit the restaurant. When we visited the restaurant it was full and the staff / manager very rude saying that no table for us come back in1hour later. I mentioned i have booked table for this time but he keeps saying that no table come back in1 hour and pushed us out of the restaurant. I tried to explain that I telephoned yesterday and booked a table and his apply was we did not receive a phone call from me so I was trying to show my phone record on my phone but he pushed us outside of the restaurant. I don't understand how they carry on business like this I am sure there are other people treated as bad as us. If anyone has same experience as I am please put up the post.
I really don't know how this place has such a high score. Food: C- at best Customer Service: E There's lots of better places about than here.
Given wrong order even after relaying what I ordered back to me, drove from Bolton Abbey to collect. Friendly, talkative and welcoming staff, they did offer to bring to us what we ordered, we declined due to how late in the evening it was.
Absolutely gutted. I have been here throughout covid. Chose to eat here regularly on a Sunday. Then tonight walk in without a booking and then treatment was awful. No connection, no communication just a finger point of one hour. Given that we chose to attend during lockdown and keep a small business going I was hurt and gob smacked. We walked home and won’t be back again.
Following the previous 1 star review, it could have been worse - they could have been waiting for two hours inside. We had booked for 7.30pm and it was nearly 2 hours before we got our main course, due to the chef/boss making takeaways a priority over sit in diners, so we just watched a procession of takeaways and waited and waited. Yes, on reflection we should have got up and left, but we'd already had starters and at the time you keep thinking surely it will be us next. I'm sure that the takeaways are generating more income, but surely at the cost of poor service and reputation - it can’t be that difficult to prioritise take away orders around sit in bookings? Whatever the reason, make your mind up where your business priorities are and inform booking customers of the potential wait so that they have the choice of going elsewhere. The meals themselves were mediocre and we all left quite bit. The head waiter/manager did his best and apologised many times for the chef/boss, but clearly, he was a frustrated as we were, as he really seemed to take pride in his job, but couldn’t carry it out effectively as the decisions were made above him. It all got a bit embarrassing. Whilst the wait was reflected in the bill, it didn’t compensate for what was a special occasion with visiting family, but thanks at least to the head waiter for at least doing what he could to remedy a bad experience. It’s fair to say that we won’t be going back - there are plenty of other Indian restaurants in Ilkley.
