"There’s a lot of curry houses that could learn a lot from this place good and bad, let me give you the positives firstly This is an excellent curry house with an array of good dishes from massala to dopiaz and all there’s specialty dishes this isn’t just a two to three good dishes restaurant there plenty of good choice this place is one of the best around and I’ll tell you why The chutneys are fresh plenty of onion mango mint sauce lime pickle all delicious all in china bowls the popadoms crisp and flavoursome The portion sizes are good and this place has fine decor a nice plush restaurant Now the negatives The food doesn’t always come out piping hot there’s no hot trays to keep the dishes warm ,tonight i asked for a pint of lager and he gave me a large bottle of kingfisher which obviously costs more , my partner had a house white wine excellent , This restaurant is very Rarely busy like it should be and why is this ? because quite simply it’s quite expensive this tandoori should be in wimbledon village if it was it would be the no 1 there I hate greed and this place comes across as that I really don’t mind paying the extra for good curry but you just feel money more important to this place than customer hospitality, cold and cynical we have your money now go !! There’s a cheaper takeaway opposite and this must effect there trade and they should try to compete with takeaway discount with the right marketing this place could rule the roost, say midweek banquet say £14-95 They do a fabulous Sunday buffet , but it’s all day long and it becomes tired and they charge you extra for popadoms and again with less greed better marketing this could be packed out . so lets sum it up great food great prices if your not worried about your pocket then come here To the management you have a great chef but you need better customer relations , better ideas better marketing the food needs to be hot when it arrives at your table and needs to be kept warm !! a midweek banquet a bit of value for money then you will flourish , top prices you need top service friendliness and warmth , there’s an unwelcoming feel to this place A basic meal for two with 1 drink each no coffees will be £50 that’s sharing a rice naan bread side dish two mains etc The curry is excellent!!"

"My friend and I often book in for the Wingfield’s afternoon tea when lucky enough to be drawn out of the public or LTA ballots and attend the Championships. We did this yesterday [day one, 2023 tournament]. We had pre booked so were able to skip a quickly gathering queue up the familiar steps. We checked in [about the third lot of people there] and were told where our table was and led to it. There was an issue with table positioning which, after an elongated discussion with three different people, was resolved to our acceptance. After a short wait, the orders were taken and a few minutes later, our afternoon tea arrived. It had all that was on the menu, though I didn’t like the fact that we both paid the price for the afternoon tea but the 4 cakes listed on the menu were “shared” between the two at the table. I believe if you pay full price each, you should have the full quota of cakes each. Additionally, the menu includes strawberries and cream, though when I queried where they were [as they weren’t brought with the rest of the stuff], the young waitress didn’t think they were part of the afternoon tea. I put her right and they were duly brought to the table. The cost of the AT has gone up by just short of 50% since 2018. Whilst recognising everything is going up and what we all have to endure in the shops in the modern day, I feel nowadays when leaving the restaurant that for the price, it’s not bringing as much feel good and satisfaction as it used to do. This was the most disappointing aspect of what was otherwise a great day at The Championships."
