Chifan in Mole Valley

Unfortunately the food,atmosphere and service has gone down hill. The restaurant was also freezing and I had to keep my coat on all night. The restaurant was almost empty apart from one other table but the service was still slow and not very professional, e.g. when we ordered another coke they just handed us a can!! The young girl who was serving didn't break a smile all evening,she definitely needed some training!

After establishing whether our fussy eater was going to choose the Tikka Masala as "it could be a bit too spicy for him", we eventually decided to opt for a set meal. The array of Northern Indian appetisers looked appealing but the choice to add prawns and sesame seeds to the naan bread was odd. The table next to us was having a heated (not too hot according to our fussy eater) conversation about how many Mothers Days there are, I can confirm having checked now, that there are 7. The second Sunday in May and the 4th Sunday after Lent appeared to be the most popular. Anyway, Dorking Wanderers won comfortably at home despite a first half Red Card. In summary, the waitress showed a competent understanding of French grammar, the place settings were in a weird position only covering 1/2 of the circumference of the table and the Pilau rice had egg in. Already looking forward to our next visit when we venture to your Sushi Restaurant in Wimbledon on the 19th April.

I went onto the website which states currently open Tuesdays 11.02.2025and ordered a take away to pick up just after 6pm . Once the money went through it came back saying pick up after 6pm on Wednesday. Apparently it isn't open. This is a terrible service . Be careful of this. Now I have to spend time contacting them to try and get a full refund

Great place, good atmosphere and friendly staff

Take away was warm when arrived, portion size was a joke for price, small containers not even full no way worth the money, will not be using again.
