Half my order didn't turn up. I politely asked for it several times but with no result. I spoke to the manager who told me to sit down and he would sort it out. I was fobbed off. Nothing happened. I complained to him and we ended up shouting at each other. I never got my food. It was very busy that evening but the attitude of staff was incredibly dismissive. I cannot recommend such a place given its poor service and outright rudeness.

Thank you, thank you once again for a fantastic (2nd sitting) for New Year’s Eve. It’s definitely the place to be in Sidcup to celebrate. George Michael was brilliant and all the Jalsha family are so kind and work extremely hard. The whole restaurant was rocking and I had the best time!!!!!!

Very poor. We went to the restaurant to collect our curry. Upon returning they'd missed two items from our order. They asked us to go back to the restaurant to collect them, we refused and they delivered. They asked for us to pay for the missing items when they arrived, we refused and were given our missing items. All the meat was incredibly tough and dry. Sauces were very simple and bland. Lacking a fresh flavour. Edit: The restaurant has since contacted me to ask to remove this review. A very unfriendly restaurant avoid at all costs.

Out favourite Sunday lunchtime restaurant. The fixed-price four course menu is excellent value at £13.95 per head. Drinks are extra, naturally, but very reasonably priced. We are there most Sundays, and are always very well looked-after by the waiting staff.

My daughters who have eating disorders and very small appetites, asked to share a sunday banquet meal. There were 4 others ordering banquets each at the same table. The Jalsha would not allow 1 meal between 2 of them. This does not help their mental health issues.

I ate here last night. Me and my son’s father-in-law both ordered the Punjabi fish cakes, they were very disappointing, filled with a tasteless mush, looked and tasted like they’d come out of a box of frozen fish cakes from a supermarket , certainly didn’t appear to be homemade. My dhansak was also too sweet, parts of it tasted like sugar. I didn’t complain to the restaurant last night as the guests I was with didn’t want me to. I will not be returning. It’s a shame as it was a treat from my son and new daughter-in-law.

We had a wonderful evening in this restaurant. Shown to a table as soon as we arrived, drinks order taken straight away and brought popadoms while we looked at the menu, staff were friendly and efficient, but not at all rushed, it felt very relaxed. Chicken kalisha, chicken dhansak, bhindi bhaji, peshwari naan all delicious and to be recommended! Great family atmosphere, decent price, amazing value, would come again in a heartbeat. Thank you.

Went to the place today and whilst the service was good, the food was not. The lamb and the chicken sheek kebabs were clearly premade frozen as were the samosas. The prawn puri was literally prawns taken out of a pack and then placed in sauce and heated in a microwave. The chicken in the Rogan Josh was poor quality and it felt like the chicken was bought in pre cooked and then added to a premade sauce. I get the feeling they don't have enough tandoori ovens to cook fresh given how big the place is. The peshwari nan was nice but should have had some ghee melted on it.

Unprofessional! Absolutely unreal behaviour by the staff! Cleaning cutlery in the restaurant for 40 minutes and smashing it loudly back in the tray which give us major headache! We have then waited 20 min to get our table cleaned and no bill! So we had to get up and go to the bar to pay! Nobody knew what are bill was! There was no apology for wasting our time! We visit this restaurant 3 times a month, but this is just too much! After we’ve paid, there was no thank you have good evening nothing! If you don’t know how to behave in hospitality business don’t bother working in it as you are making customer miserable!

My family have been coming to the Jalsha for many years and always enjoyed the experience. Sadly we haven’t returned, as a few months ago we arrived for dinner and as we walked in there was an elderly lady who was vomiting into a plastic bag. She was in the entrance area near the car park which was in full view of all the diners and walk ins. We understand that the poor lady was ill...however no attempt was made to usher her to the ladies toilets or out of sight of the diners. We did stay and have a meal , but We were put off trying to eat and enjoy our food. Sadly in-view of this incident we feel we are unable to return.

Not the best place I've been, food was pretty bland place was cold, and the service was a bit slow with servers leaning over you when serving !! Would I recommend it? BIG no tbh. Update We ate in My meal consisted off Onion bhaji for starter (perfect) Lambchop (cheap poor quality all bone chops very greasy and bland) Garlick rice ( no garlic ! No seasoning greasy and very bland) Saag bhaji (no garlic ! No seasoning bland slop) Naan Peshawar (really good) Garlic naan ( plain nanny with butter herb and shake over dried garlic) So my meal consisted of Onion bhaji and a Peshawar naan that was acceptable. Oh the Irish coffee was shyte Not even real cream (they said single ) but I think foamed milk. Overall Poor quality ingredients and tasteless. I didn't want to complain as I was a guest of a customer that highly recommended this place. She commented that this was the worst experience she had had here.

It's still a bit too big for my liking. So it can get a bit noisy if there are many customers. My Jalfriezi was mainly a red juice, so not happy with that option. Hence food gets 2 stars only.

Ordered a mixed grill and the lamb on the plate consisted of two pieces of lamb shish and a lamb chop. The shish was so tough and the lamb chop was inedible. I left the chop on another plate and tried cutting the meat in front of the waiter, who basically said ok! The waiters were not very attentive either, so unfortunately I doubt very much I will be returning.

There was obviously serious issue with organisation in the kitchen. Took an hour for starter to come. As we complained, they then tried to bring starter and main course together. Ended up having to order 2 bottles of wine, due to wait. What was meant to be a pleasant relaxing meal, turned out to be very stressful. We’ve been customers for over 20 years.

Terrible oily curry that had no heat and when we said we didn't like it the response was "other people do so deal with it". Very patronising staff who seem to think no one understands what a good curry should taste like when you have complete knowledge and it's just not good.

Had to wait a long time for our meals. Was getting agitated. I ordered chicken tikka which comes with salad as a main course according to menu. When it finally arrived no salad came with it. Just chicken bunged on plate, had to ask waiter to get me the salad which he did, but it was just thrown in a bowl. The tikka chicken was very dry and bland. I was disappointed although my husband enjoyed his meal. Will go back again in a couple of months and give them another try, as may be different next time?

This restaurant has been a go-to for our curry nights for a good 4 years now. We've only in the last few years been let down a couple of times, but tonight was a let down of a far greater magnitude. Ordered through Uber (which we have done many times) the curry was delivered by a nice gentleman, yet when he pulled the bag out of his Uber holdall, the curry was leaking everywhere due to the inept way it had been packaged by the restaurant. As you can see in the pictures attached, this affected the rest of our contents, to the point where it was not salvageable. I proceeded to call the restaurant, who were constantly trying to blame everyone else (the Uber driver and even me for ordering through Uber) for this mess apart from apologising and taking responsibility for the way they had packed this upright. They merely did not care that this had happened and just told me to order again and sort it through Uber. Probably good for a walk-in, but not dealing with them in takeaways again as they don't look after loyal customers. 2nd star is because the food has been good over the years regardless of the dreadfully rude staff. **UPDATE** "Care is taken with our packaging as failure to do so would mean a waste of our ingredients and loss of customer. Bags are double checked before handing over to delivery drivers. Therefore, it is clear the food was spoilt during transit." It WAS spilt in transit, BUT the reason it was spilt is because of the way it was packed. And yet you CONTINUE to blame the driver. I guess you're suggesting that he stopped and decided to repack the bag, so that it would spill all over his Uber holdall and disappoint the customer. To proud to own up to your errors.
