This restaurant used to be part of a small chain called Pandoos which was clearly designed to be a bit like Nandos. It sells a range of grilled dishes and stir fries. When it was Pandoos it sold curries but now it concentrates more on the stir fries. Unusually for halal food outlets, the Wok and Grill also sells beef and steaks.
I had crispy chicken as a starter followed by stir fried spicy beef and rice. The chicken was crispy though its texture was rather watery. The beef was good and spicy but there wasn’t much of it.
It seems that most of the staff are the same as those who ran Pandoos so many of the same problems apply. One member of staff speaks half decent English but the others don’t and they don’t seem to care much about what they do either. I tried to ask what pudding they had and a member of staff babbled through about 4 of them. I asked for descriptions and he either didn’t understand my question or didn’t want to understand so I decided not to bother with a pudding.
I had to ask for the bill twice and finally got given a bill for £18.99 which seemed rather a lot for 2 main courses and a drink so I questioned it. It turns out my bill was really £14.68.
That £18.99 looks like a figure the guy serving me just made up. I don’t appreciate being deliberately overcharged by someone who either does not have the brains to calculate the bill or the prices to hand.
The food was fairly poor anyway but as I was nearly overcharged I don’t think I will be going back to this restaurant unless I get evidence that the quality of the staff have improved significantly.
I can only give this restaurant 3 out of 10
