"The portion sizes are quite decent and offer good value for the price. I did find the naan a bit small, but that’s a minor detail. I would love to see a Tandoori option on the menu, though I understand that local preferences might not lean towards Tandoori dishes. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, giving me a nostalgic feeling reminiscent of India. The music is soothing and enhances the dining experience without being intrusive. The service staff is friendly and very polite, contributing to a wonderful experience during Diwali night. Thank you!"

"I have been working at the red rose for over 2 years, both as a driver and as a waiter. I know the restaurant and the food to be clean and look. after 25 years there is the same boss. he flaps over and panic when it starts to be too busy, but this is because he cares about 110% to get the food to the customers, and he knows what he does! the same as for the rest of the staff. they are regular long-term employees who are well-trained and qualified, and always go from there to make their visit as beautiful as possible. the personal is always for a laugh and sweat. they are very professional, but from them they crack a sweat with them, they will join and will not ignore it they are good fun and fun to work. Currently there are only alcohol-free drinks on the menu starting in October 2021."

"I've eaten at a few good vegetarian south Indian places (like saga and woodlands in london) and this place really gives them a run for their money. There are now a great many vegan items marked on the main menu (in the restaurant sadly not on their website yet). You can get most of what you'd want from a south Indian like dosa, vada, idly, thalis etc. If you've never yet tried South Indian then i highly recommend it, it's a bit different to standard Indian food and just as flavorful and spiced and comforting but with a few extra interesting textures. The dishes are small and cheap so but a few and share to try a bit of everything."

"My partner and I have been once before for a family birthday a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. We booked a table for tonight, and it was nothing short of amazing. The restaurant is small but the seats are very well situated. It is very clean with beautiful decor which makes it a lovely relaxing place to eat. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a waiter, and was quickly shown to our table. We had drinks to our table within 10 mins of being seated at well as complimentary olives and bread! We ordered our starter which were perfect every way, as was our mains. There really was no complaints at all. The staff were very friendly and everything about the restaurant was above and beyond. I will be returning and highly recommend it to anyone that wishes for a quiet and delicious meal out. Thank you to all at The Olive House."

"Just got back from KTT tearoom. So disappointed!! We have wanted to visit for a long time but have never managed to get there until today. Not sure we will be returning! Initially it was great! Lovely decor and a lovely vibe as it was lively, even though it was only half full. The waitress took our order immediately and was friendly. Then it all went downhill. We waited and waited for our food and then my meal came out and then my husband’s toast which went with his meal (the toast was already cold). Then nothing else arrived! So my husband said to eat mine so it didn’t go cold. So I ate my entire meal and his still didn’t arrive! We weren’t the only ones that this happened to! There was another table where the same thing was happening. I finished my meal and then my husband’s meal appeared! The poor waitress looked mortified! I felt so sorry for her! Clearly the kitchen were too slow and not organised as meals were randomly coming out! If I go out to eat with my husband, then I expect to eat at the same time!! Someone needs to sort the kitchen service out as it is slow and haphazard!! The poor waitress had to placate the customers waiting and it clearly wasn’t her fault! It was such a shame as the food was ok, but the kitchen service appalling! Not sure we will return!"
