"Starts with lukewarm, dry wry put upon smile for the job at reception with a girl who kept ducking down behind the desk to east food and cough respectable lol the men all huddle round the centre console, getting their attention takes a while; more attentiveness to diners would be appreciated!: Food: nice soft creamy paneer, medium spice butter chicken, not so flavourful, mild ish spice, needed all the extra sauce to make up for it, there was loadsa sauce, plus points for both dishes. Naan bread 1 x butter naan ofc, v buttery. Plain Naan, burnt hard crispy Nice ish virgin mojito colada : low lighting internally, bit too dark for me, but nonetheless, fine. toilets spick n span, fully stocked with clean wrapped bound toilet rolls, no spillages on the floor anywhere, sink: greasy/oily cream, in nice big glass brown coloured bottles: and good liquid hand soap in the other bottle: I saw a table next to us was given a free lil lemon looking sorbet with chocolate 'Happy Birthday ' written on the plate; they were happy the bday girl looked happily surprised. wish they had that indian, after dinner, multi colured mouth refreshment seeds etc to take as u leave the restaurant. wont be returning: we walked here as the Dishoom was an hour+ wait! Great restaurant! they have the extra personal touch of so many things, which Zaika crucially miss! only one wait smiled really, lovely smile from the lady who was a waiter, from all the staff that was noticeable, just 20/30s aged waitress and a coupla older men who seemed to run the service there. 3.8/5 :D <3"

"I am going to post my “trip advisor review “ because honestly I have given this too much time already. No word from my personal email to the restaurant. Vacillating between Terrible and Poor This is probably my meal at Tom's Kitchen since it opened. I am a huge long time fan of Tom Aitkens, his innovative delivery and passion about both fine food and food for the people. Some years ago he had a Fish Market/ Fish and Chippery a bit down the road on Cale Street. I have a huge amount of respect for his dedication towards sustainable food sources and sustainable fishing.. BUT if this was my meal at Tom's Kitchen this meal and the meal about months ago fall into the basket of the worst dining experiences of the Century. I only rebooked because I received an email in October that their difficulties had been sorted out. Apparently not as the meal was not only deja vu but worse. We were seated at an awful table away from the main part of the dining area despite having booked about weeks earlier. No one was seated near us for the duration of our meal. We were served the wrong bottle of champagne and when we pointed this out there was a bit of a scene. The service was very slow, and the food (well it was a Monday but the fish and chips had a fishy suspect flavour). We were actually about to pay and leave before our food arrived hoping to walk into. nearby Thai restaurant but the food arrived before we could ask for the bill. I don't know what to say. I can neither recommend the restaurant or ever even consider returning Date of visit: December"
