"I very seldom give a bad review and considering all the other good reviews makes me wonder if I have busted a parallel universe Artisan? Now I know why Gordon Ramsay goes off the rails at people who can’t see past their own noses to work out what is wrong with their restaurant. So very disappointed tonight at what should have been a whisky lovers paradise. First impressions very poor, carpets dirty and torn and obviously have been lifted in the upper seating area but just leaving the tired and dirty looking tiles. Service reasonable and order taken politely but no effort made to promote any whiskies. Odd. Chicken starters were good my sons said, I skipped one. Main course “Artisan” burgers were homemade, so some kudos for that, but they were too dense and dry, and presented in a really unappealing way an old bar tray? . Haggis with creamy mash and peppercorn sauce , even worse. A soup bowl equivalent of sauce separately from the haggis and mash. My youngest said the mash was terrible. I think “creamy” must have a different meaning to the chef. I had a taste and would say it was mashed with water if anything. Yuk. And what the hell am I supposed to do with all that sauce. Can dessert or a whisky flight £12.95 for choice of 4 from whisky choice of the month redeem things?? No. Belgian waffle and ice cream had a blackened waffle obviously burnt in the toaster but was served face down so my youngest didn’t notice until he got to near the middle. We turned it over and couldn’t believe it. Whisky flight was ridiculous. My son ordered this and was told to choose from 4 on the barrel table mostly liqueurs and weird stuff, Unicum is a Hungarian Jaegermeister style drink?!? There were two decent malts the rest was terrible. I took a look into the “snug” to see if it was worth a last ditch redemption. But seeing all the rubbish and boxes made me decide against. I had been planning to book this for my group of 10 whisky sharing buddies , but sadly I won’t be. What a shame. Waiting staff at least were trying their best and did deduct the burnt waffle from the bill as I asked. "

"Disappointing experience for Christmas dinner. The writing was on the wall when we ordered drinks only to find out that there were very few soft drinks available, including no lemonade. The food, which was actually decent overall, took quite long to be served but appreciate that can happen in a busy restaurant for Christmas dinner. Though, perhaps a gap of one hour is too long to wait between starter and main course and main course and dessert! Unfortunately the attitude of staff was poor at times; letting their stress and exasperation overspill into their engagement with customers. Only one staff member can be excepted from this criticism; a very attentive and helpful gentleman who clearly wanted our experience to be better but who was hamstrung by the poor planning and organisation by senior staff. You would have thought there would be better planning for Christmas Day but one staff member was constantly checking his phone for food pre-orders whilst scurrying around trying to serve. I would have thought these details would have been printed out multiple times and given to relevant staff in advance of the sitting. We were also served part lukewarm/part cold sticky toffee pudding for dessert. And on receiving our bill the deposit had not been taken off so we had to request this. Overall, it was poorly planned, poorly organised and badly executed. A very disappointing experience. We most certainly will not be returning to this restaurant."

"Last time we dined here was about 10 years ago but we thought we'd give it a try and we were very glad we did. The staff couldnt have been any more welcoming, friendly and professional. Very attentive and courteous without being overbearing. Now down to brass tacks, the food was truly amazing! We chose from the Valentine offer menu which came with a complementary glass of prosecco however they very kindly offered to swap them to a lager and glass if white wine instead. My wife had chicken pakora which was delicious and my chicken chaat was juicy, flavoursome and perfectly cooked. The portion sizes for these starters was very generous and the dishes well presented. For our mains we had chicken korma which was rich and creamy and full of flavour and one of the best lamb bhoonas i've ever tasted. Both were bursting with meat and we struggled to finish them as we both had a portion of rice each and shared a perfectly done nann. We usually share one rice and nann but we thought what the hell, we had both saved ourselves for this lol. To finish we had gulab jamin with ice cream, lovely. And a coffee to finish. All that for £29.95 each is exceptional value. This offer runs right up to Valentines Day and i cant recommend it enough, you wont be disappointed. The waiter even presented my good lady with a red rose before we left. Excellent food, amazing service and at a phenomenal price, totally 5 stars! Thanks to all at Bombay Dreams!"
