"The worst Indian meal we have ever had, it was a disgrace, to start with the Poppadoms were not fresh, the relishes were awful, salad was tasteless chopped lettuce and onion, Raita was yellow, tasteless and stale, the mango chutney was not good at all!! The next course was mixed kebab, it was horrible with some lettuce thrown into the bottom of a dish and 2 cubes of chewy lamb, 2 cubes of tasteless dry chicken and a sheek kebab, then to top off a disastrous meal, the main course arrived, this was an absolute disgrace, the worst curry I have had in my life, it was supposed to be chicken madras which consisted of a watery sauce that hadn't been spiced at all, the chicken was dry and plain with no spices or herbs whatsoever, I took one taste of it and sent it back!!! Needless to say I will never be going back to the Kashmir Indian Restaurant in Christchurch. Continued: Just to clarify the owners reply, we are not liars just truthful honest people wanting a decent Indian meal, we spoke to the waiter with our complaint and he took the madras meal back to the kitchen to show the chef, then returned saying the chef was very sorry and proceeded to refund a portion of the bill, also to clarify we didn't book a table, we called in at 6pm on 14th November 2023 and asked if they could fit us in on a table for 2, the waiters reply was yes and he proceeded to give us a menu. I take offence to being called a liar, this just proves to me that you are very rude and have very poor management skills!! A word of advice, accept criticism from your customer's, they are your bread and butter, take their comments on board to improve your business, to drive them away by being rude is not a good business strategy!!"

"I came away from my recent visit to this lovely restaurant with some concern. For good reason, this has been a favourite venue for many years and locals are watching closely to see what a recent change of ownership will mean. Until my most recent meal here, I'd been encouraged that much remained the same, including excellent professional waiting staff. However, despite a price hike, the set-price lunch menu now offers a more limited choice, with two out of eight items being vegetarian/vegan and another two with cost supplements meaning they don't really belong on the table d'hote menu. My starter was the most disappointing start to a meal ever offered here; it was essentially a beige crab pate in a wine glass with just two tiny biscuits to accompany. My main course of roast turkey was as expected and I was happy to find that the Lord Bute continues to include traditional vegetables. However, this rather modest meal cost me £30-. With a better starter, appreciating my surroundings and excellent service, that would have been fine. But I did feel very slightly cheated. I understand the new owner will be aiming to achieve star rating at this venue and do hope that s/he has made the right calculations. The local residents have been very loyal to this restaurant. If a new focus alienates this custom-base, are there enough others who would visit the new version often enough for it to survive?"
