We visited this evening after seeing a few recent reviews about this place. We usually go to Bradford for a curry as we never usually find old school authentic curries in the Dewsbury/Batley area but after seeing a few positive reviews we decided to give it a go. The starters were OK - 7/10, the onion bhajis were a waste of money in all honesty as they seemed as though they were leftover bits from the fryer. The owner called them "onion fritters", no idea what he was referring to as they weren't fritters and it stated they were onion bhajis on the menu. However, the chicken tikka and seekh kebabs were nice, we enjoyed them. For our main we ordered an Asian style chicken karahi, it came and it was very overpowering and spices were undercooked and raw, it wasn't at all authentic desi style. The oil wasn't even separated from the curry which makes me believe that they had used a 'base curry' that they'd made up earlier in the day and sprinkled in the raw spices after. It wasn't how a karahi was supposed to/usually looks either. We were very disappointed. We decided to tell the waitress (they were friendly and came across as polite at all times which was nice.) She took it back to the kitchen and they added cream to the curry which made it even worse as we didn't ask for a overpowering curry to begin with but then to add cream to it, it was then a sweet overpowering curry. We told the waitress again who took it away and said they'll sort it out and 5 minutes passed we didn't know what was going on. So at this point we decided against resolving the issue with the curry, so we told the owner we'd pay for the starters but not the curry as we didn't eat it, we literally had a tablespoon. Also I must add, the chapatis were crispy and not at all fluffy and soft, they were rock hard, I've never seen chapatis like that. The owner charged us for poppadoms and pickle tray which we didn't even order and he knew as he took our order and he insisted we have to pay for the curry even though we didn't eat it as we were unhappy so we refused. He then became very rude and aggressive baring in mind he was fine up until this. He kept saying see you later very rudily and charged us whatever he wanted to and after we questioned this he REFUSED to give us a receipt. So not only was trying to charge us for things we didn't even buy, he came across as very intimidating and rude for no apparent reason. He said we were been "awkward" but we didn't say or do anything out of line except tell the staff we didn't like the curry and it wasn't to our expectations which is why we chose not to eat it therefore we didn't think we should have paid for it. Constructive criticism isn't a negative for a business usually as it helps them learn from their mistakes. Not in this case, he was really offended and had the worst attitude possible for the owner of a restaurant. Overall, we were disappointed. The owner cannot take criticism of any kind even when it isn't meant to upset him in anyway. It wasn't at all personal to him. He's rude and aggressive for no apparent reason to customers. Will not return and would like to inform others of our experience. Also noticed a few other reviews saying the curry was overspiced so it wasn't an isolated incident.
