Why do some curry house do it...take an order for a large table knowing full well they are just too busy and knowing they are going to have to make you wait to be seated on a busy night...?
So it was with the Haweli in Twyford... a place we have been to before, and maybe because of the slow economy, they just couldn't resist the booking but in the process they messed us around too much and so the ratings this month reflected it... last time out they got a 9/10 this time they just broke into 4/10!
Booked for 9pm and seated at 9:40 we almost walked around the corner to the Gaylord instead... but then we had the misfortune to order...our starters were arriving before we had ordered our main dishes so chaos ruled on the table and sadly the food was a let down. Pretty ordinary, rather bland and not particularly tasty.. a decidedly off night only made up for by the company... We won't be going back again soon...their loss.
It is pretty easy to get right, let people sit down on time, take their order promptly and then deliver it as tasty flavoursome food and Rashid is your Uncle. Haweli - poor showing this time out, really poor. But the locals were out in force, every table was busy and for some reason Friday is Girlie Curry Night Out in Twyford so clearly haweli is thriving... hope the locals get a better service and food than we did!
