Bismillah Restaurant in Ealing

We visited cote in Ealing for an early birthday celebration meal. Upon arrival the lovely lady came to ask whose birthday it was and we felt very welcome. Sadly it was a poor experience from here. We were initially asked for our drinks order but after that we had to put our hand up to order food, or anything else. 20 minutes after ordering drinks. Our food was also very slow to come out, and our dad’s food arrived 10 minutes after everyone else’s meaning we were nearly finished our meals by the time his arrived to the table. The £10 Camembert we believed was a sharing was absolutely tiny with two tiny pieces of baguette and a tiny Camembert. Would not recommend if you are under the impression it can be shared. Both sirloin steaks came out cold and I had to ask for them to be redone. What made this worse was the manager came over to tell us steaks are meant to be cold if they are only done medium rare. We have had many steaks in our life and they ofcourse are not meant to be cold, especially for £25. It would behave been less insulting if we just got an apology instead of suggesting we don’t know how a steak is meant to be cooked. Not once throughout our meal were we checked on and asked if everything was ok, even after the new steaks arrived. We weren’t given any water for the table at any point and as I said any time we wanted to order or say anything we had to keep putting our hand up and made to feel like we were being a problem. I don’t understand why I was asked whose birthday it is so they could notify staff, as it was never mentioned by any of the staff again after this. Really disappointing experience as my family don’t get to visit me often and this was an early 30th celebration. A waste of money and time really.
