I went to a work dinner (40 people) at this restaurant. I have been before- I must say that I really love it- it is the only building with character in Canary Wharf. It is a bit off the beaten track (it’s near the cinema on West India Quay)- but that makes it more like an oasis in London’s answer to Gotham City. The décor is really fab- lovely historic building with an added contemporary twist. The food here is delicious- upmarket curry house (with prices to match). The Chicken Tikka is outstanding. At the moment- you do not pay for space hire if you are with a big group (just food and drink per head). This may change with the anticipated change of ownership (I hope that it doesn't close...).

The service was appalling. In their defense, we were a big group. However, everyone had the same starter (salmon- which took ages to arrive), and the main course was a selection of curries and veg placed at the centre of each table. But noone was courteous or seemed to care that we were waiting for so long, and they didn’t bother to check that we were ok for drinks. I would also like to point out that apparently this restaurant has gone into administration over the past few weeks- so perhaps the staff may feel somewhat at risk (although apparently a buyer has been found).
