Seven of us celebrated the bank holiday with a visit to the Palm. The food was very nice but the experience was marred by the quality of the service! The company was good so it was a very pleasant evening overall.
The booking was for 7:45 and drinks order was taken in the foyer at 7:50. The men were served and we were seated. The men had finished their beers before the girls' drinks had even arrived.
The table was laid for 6 not seven but we had to keep asking for and extra place settings.... a plate.... some cutlery... no serviette appeared. We asked fro water twice... but we didn't have any glasses to drink it from.
Poppadums were served at 8:15 and some starters arrived at 8:50, again some had finished before others were served.Starters includes chicken lollipop, Goan seafood platter and a peshwari naan.
Mixed chicken tikka (K), karakai (E), murgh Jaipuri (A), Reshmi tikka (T), Butter chicken (C), Chicken Korma (Z) were the main meals ordered and enjoyed. John however struggled with his "spicy" Dansak! The menu had said 2 chillies- fairly hot but warning hadn't been strong enough. He lost his taste buds.
To top it all, the towels weren't opened for us and there were only 6 not 7 After Eights!
We will not be rushing back!!
Very difficult to mark as the food was good but the constant looking out for waiters to come and attend to us had an impact.
