rude staff, oily tasteless curries and why bother booking if you have to wait in a queue for an hour. Don't bother - Sagar or Veejay's Sweets are a different league to this crap. Only idiots that know nothing about Indian food would go more than once.
It was all hustle and bustle at Tayyabs, we waited about 30 minutes for a table but to be honest it was not worth the wait. The only good dishes on the menu was the mixed grill and tarka dal apart from that the other dishes did not meet expectations. Service was non-existent but yet its still packed to the rafters.
We had an unfortunate dining experience here last night. It was very noisy therefore difficult to order. The waiter brought us the wrong dish, which we ate because we thought it was part of our mixed grill. Then when the bill came, that dish was actually mean't to be for the table beside us (as we saw the waiters apologise to them). When the bill came, they charged us for this dish costing us £22 extra. My husband mentioned this mistake, then the waiter refused to remove or discount the £22 dish off our bill saying if we don't pay for it, it'll come out of his own pocket. Then he deliberately threw mango chutney all over my husband! this really upset us all so he had to take the £22 off our bill in the end. Really miserable service from overworked waiters.
The best mixed grill I have had in London by far. What more can I say except prepare to wait for a table for at least 30mins. Service is ok if a bit rushed, food is cheap and cheerful. BYO makes it a really good choice if you looking to dine out on a cheap.
This restaurant is awful. We booked a table for 8 for 9 o'clock. When we arrived, there were 60 people waiting, crammed into the restaurant doorway and out in the freezing cold. We waited for an hour and a half to be seated despite having 'reserved' a table. The waiters were rude, exhausted, unhappy and aggressive. Once we were seated we were rushed through our entire meal. We were out of the door, having had starters and mains, within 35 minutes of sitting down. The food was good but not exceptional, which it would have to be in order to come close to justifying the hour and half wait in cramped, noisy and cold conditions. What a horrible evening!
Amazing mixed grill that came out sizzling but food portion was very small. The naan was a small plate size which was a disapointment. The curries were not flavousome enough. However the restaurant as always was buzzing at 6pm. Not the best curry but not the worst either. Go for the mixed grill alone.
went with 4 friends 5th feb booked a table for 9pm about 50 people waiting to be seated place was packed at 9.15 shown to a table given menus ordered starters which were lovely chops and chicken tikka went for a saag chicken for mains wasnt rushed at all rest of the party had a great evening nothing to go crazy about but not as bad as previous reveiws staff were run off their feet but were polite and helpful the place started emptying by 10.15 very pleasant night would go again but have had much better indian food the bill was £90.00 for 6 of us i pay that sometimes for me and my partner so stop moaning and give it a try
Having read all the reviews thought I would give this a try! So persuaded my Husband to take me on Sunday evening and did the 15 mile drive. However I have to be honest and say I was disappointed...the restaurant was not busy so we were given a table straight away.
But the Service was very poor and waiter did not recommend anything to us so we ordered what we knew. Food came no less then 10 minutes and tasked okay...nothing special.
Atmosphere was poor - the music was the same because the CD was on repeat and I had a headache as the same songs were repeated around 10 times!
Another table was having a argument with the manager during our meal which also didn't help.
Credit Card machines were not working at the restaurant so my poor husband had to do a 10 minute walk to the nearest cash point in the rain!
As we left no one greeted us to say goodbye! Don't think I will recommend the restaurant and sure will not be visiting again! ;(
