Indian Cavalry Club

We went for an early meal before the theatre. Firstly the massive menu was most off-putting; choose a meat, choose a style of sauce, choose a flavour. There were pages and pages of offerings. The members of staff were unable to explain the menu to me. We were the only people in the place and watched a table of six and a table of two walk in and walk back out similarly perplexed by the menu. It always concerns me when a restaurant offers so much; how can it ever be freshly made? Eventually I ordered chicken jalfrezi and sag aloo, which arrived almost instantly. I can only assume they have vats of stuff they microwave to deal with such a huge menu. The food was flavourless and insipid and the single chicken portion cost over £13. The meal for two with two each of main dishes, side dishes, naan and beer was over £60. When the staff asked if I had enjoyed the meal, I told them I hadn't and they simply ignored my comment.

Seven of us went to the Indian Cavalry Club and had acceptable but average food. However I was astounded by the outrageous prices - £13.45 for a curry plus £3.45 for the rice, almost £17 for a plateful - I don't think so! They tried to stick to 10 per cent for average food and poor service, we refused, words were exchanged and they accepted the net amount. Definitely the poorest value meal I have ever had.
