Don't like 4number reasons: friends & I came2 Henley Tue.eve 4/7, hungry, looked 4takeaways, 2 Indian said open -23:30hrs, we spent time perusing menu, decided what wanted, compiled order, phoned, man answered, said they'd closed b4 advertised opening times so next eve my friends wanted 2go here cos set hearts on, couldn't find by Google, passed people on street, 2helpful men knew it, their fav, best here & regular customers 4 12 years! Advised we mention their names 2get discount &/or free complimentary @Bailey's shot,directed, found, these lovely guys said they'd follow after anyway so d see in bit. Arrived, unusual front like house, 2 men said, no smile, unwelcoming:~ "What do you want?"! How rude ! "We've come 4a meal" they led us 2table right @back of long narrow empty restaurant, not 1single customer, only family, we friendly to them. My friend asked could we sit@front near window? They said yeah sit where you like. On set, layed tables, bottles of water, 1@table, we thought they're gratis as didn't ask 4water but if we had, we would've asked for a jug of tap water, that would've been what we wanted. We opened & poured the water in 3 glasses betwyus which finished the 70cl bottle. Only at the end in the bill, we'd been charged £3:50p for this +10%! I objected, we did not request this! He, the miserable , unfriendly owner / manager Raj said well you opened it, nothing is free! The nice men who we'd met earlier came in & they seated on the other side of the bar, we said they'd recommended them & guided us to them & said that we could get a complimentary drink or discount, the owner / manager said no nothing is free, we don't give anything as a thank you for your custom or their 12 years of custom, he said in face they charge them more ! I was beginning to get a not very good impression, I said to the manager Raj, why can't you smile ? We kept smiling at the staff & being very pleasant indeed, I said a smile doesn't hurt & it improves relationships, he agreed & cracked half a smile on one side of his mouth in a jokey reluctant manner. We placed our order & the food arrived, my 2 friends were happy with their meals I think, well one was anyway, I didn't like mine, it was nothing, not special, not tasty, just plain, below average. The Only good thing I can say about this place was the new member of staff they had who's only been with them about a day, over from Bangladesh as family friends to commute to study at University in London, he's called Asad, we are Christians & & we struck up a very interesting conversation with him as a Muslim about God, religion, faith, the Bible, Qua'an & the conditions of the World, etc. That was the only enjoyable factor, such a nice young man. When it got to about 10:15pm they started trying to clear our plates before we had finished & standing directly behind us waiting for us to finish which made me feel most uncomfortable, he said the porter was waiting to finish washing up, they'd only had us 5 customers or so all evening! Even though their website says they close @23:30, they were trying to get us out @22:15, I finished & handed my plate, he presented the unitemised bill, I like to see how it is tallied up, just the total of £71:60p, my friend suggested I add 10% tip so I paid £78:60p without knowing that was correct, we'd only had 5 pints of beer each at £4:50 / £4:95 & 3 mains, 2 rice, 1 nan & even the 3 single poppadoms with relishes weren't complimentary, they must've cost more than £4:00, most Indian restaurants I've ever been to, give a pile of popodoms & even top them up, they restrict it to 1 per head unless ask for more & charge. They are Very mean indeed ! V. Unfriendly, money grabbing. We agree placing water bottles on tables is sly, cunning trick 2mislead us it's given, we use & get charged unknowing, we don't think 2ask, is free ?! Shouldn't B put on tables ! I'd never pay £3:50 4still water, they'd sparkling but didn't offer us a choice. When we got back home, I vomited violently all night, had no sleep, had the runs for days after, I've never been sick that much !!!
