Takari was an excellent choice for an early Saturday evening dinner. The food and service were great and I would definitely recomme
Decided to go to this Indian place to try something new. Read a few impressive reviews before going. Probably the worst Indian restaurant that I have been to. As we sat down to order, I felt like I was sitting in the sewers, surrounded by the largest flys I have seen. This was not a case of just one fly but probably a total of 10 flys. My appetite was lost even before ordering.
Secondly the dishes were small and over priced.When the food arrived it was lukewarm. Terrible experience, not to be repeated.
Our company went to Takari Covent Garden to celebrate our Xmas party the place always has a good vibe and buzz. but mostly consistently good food, had a great time.
Amazing menu, really special food and nice atmosphere. Interesting food combinations.
I agree with the user before, this was an awful restaurant to dine in. The manager was extremely rude and certainly needs a lesson in customer services!! I shall not return, and would recommend any of the other Indian restaurants in the area over this one.
Apart from the friendly waiters, Takari was an appalling restaurant to dine at. The food was over priced, it cost £50 for the pair of us after only ordering one veg starter, 2 main veg curries, 2 naan's and 2 kingfisher beers. The portions were tiny but very heavy and unsatisfying. There was no garnishing on the food. A mixed vegetable platter consisted of a poorly made samosa, an onion bhaji and some sort of a daal bhajia which was seeping with oil...definitely not something that should be called a 'platter'. I would not recommend dining at this sub par venue.
Went to Takari in Covent Garden area last night for a friend's birthday. The food and service was really great and highly recommend this restaurant.
Do not go to Takari. Do not go to Takari. Do not go to Takari. Do not go to Takari. I went along expecting to enjoy a lovely Indian meal, what I received instead was something I have never ever experienced in a restaurant and hope to never again. We did not get off to a good start, the greeting was lukewarm at best, in fact from the moment we walked into the restaurant we felt as if we were actually in the way and an annoyance. The service although quick, was unfriendly and unhelpful. I was served quite possibly the worst gin and tonic I've ever had in my life and on trying to order champagne as we were celebrating, we were told they did not have the bottle we requested, which they made no apologies for. When the food came along it was clear that it had been sitting on a hot plate somewhere as there was a thick drying film over the top of the what can only be described as mediocre passanda sauce. Anyway, the best bit is about the come.! I started to eat the passanda and I bit into something hard, which turned out to be a broken piece of porcelain of some description about 1cm in length! I called the waiter over and not only did he make no apologies but he then went on to accuse me of planting the offending article myself in order to get free food! He actually called me a liar to my face. We obviously could not stay there after this, so went to leave, the manager grabbed my arm and insisted I pay for the food which I did minus the mediocre passanda. It was a situation that could so easily of been diffused by the waiter apologising and offering a drink on the house or free main course, instead he called me a liar to my face and ruined a perfectly lovely evening.
