The food was ok, but the 2 for 1 on mains is really misleading as you need to order 2 starters as well, so you'll probably save a fiver.

Ordered a takeaway the food was okay I have had better and I have had worse. The bill came to over £40 On their website it says if you spend over £25 you can get a free bottle of wine when I asked about it he said you have to spend over £45 what a con.

Been here a few times the food is lovely and the service is good, the only issue is the toilets. They were really filthy, I’m not going into detail but it was all over the walls, seats. In addition the door was broke and didn’t lock and they really need a good clean, this put me off. Luckily I saw the toilets after I’d eaten! Little details like this make a big difference

Terrible Worst Goan fish curry I’ve ever tasted. I have eaten this dish in many countries & I certainly can tell a good one to a bad one. The sauce Was a mix between butter chicken & a lot of sugar, absolutely no evidence of coconut cream/milk. My partner was advised to get the Afghan chicken which was also terrible. How are you getting away with servicing such rubbish? Ok if you like inauthentic food.

3rd July 2024. I was considering giving the Pearl a 2nd chance. I have read through the reviews and I can see there hasn't been an improvement. Sadly I will not be eating here any time in the near future. Party of 3 had a meal on Thursday 27th May 2021. The food was ok. I am giving it a one star because there was no hand soap in the men's or women's toilets or any hand sanitizer available. I reported this to the front desk. Visited the Pearl again on 27th April at 19:40 ish. There was only a few tables occupied. The toilets had been clean until children had tried to wee in to two of the three urinals and missed and weed onto the floor. Someone had used one of the toilets and sadly not bother or was unable to flush the toilet. There was a hand written cleaning rota on the wall. The last entry was 31st March ! Not a great improvement since my last visit.

Absolutely gutted that what used to be one of our favourite places to eat will now be somewhere we don’t come back to. We were seated promptly drinks ordered and then really hurried to make a decision on what we were eating. We just wanted mains and the waiter tutted at us when we didn’t want to order starters etc. The food was nice but not once did the waiter ask us if we needed another drink or anything just kept walking past and blanked us. I was really disappointed with the lack of service considering the waiter was happy to engage with other tables next to us. When the bill arrived hardly anything was itemised , then there was other charges on but nothing written next to it. When I asked the waiter he said it was correct. Just under £100 for four main dishes and one drink each two of which were water. We felt it was such a shame as used to be a really lovely place to come to

We’ve been here three or four times now, and the thing that always strikes me when we arrive is the scruffy approach to the main entrance. It’s in desperate need of a jet washing to get rid of the grime and trodden in chewing-gum. Ugh. Once inside though, it’s not too bad. The service has been okay in the past, but on this occasion they had to be reminded – twice – that we hadn’t yet had our rice to accompany our main courses. No complaints about the food, when the the rice did finally arrive, but the drinks are getting eye-wateringly expensive. Won’t be rushing back any time soon.

Christmas Day 5pm sitting was so poor. Bad service from the time we entered until the time we left. We didn’t get seated until 6.15 pm , despite me asking several managers how much longer we have to wait. They went looking for spare tables but then didn’t update me on how much longer it would be, they simply went back behind the bar and talked to other colleagues about something else. We had two young children with us who were getting fed up waiting. Finally when we were seated to a table with only a drab grey cover on and 6 side plates. Very festive. Eventually our mains came and we were several plates short and some cutlery missing. We had to ask three waiters for the missing items before they eventually arrived. Our main server also advised if we wanted drinks then it may be best to go to the bar ourselves if we wanted them quickly. The curries were average to say the least two of the mains were supposed to be different but tasted exactly the same. Our desserts finally arrived but all our mains plates, cup etc were still on the table and hadn’t been removed. He finally got someone to remove the finished plates after a long wait. To cap it all one of our party mislaid his jacket. The staff didn’t seem interested in trying to locate it. In fact our grandson eventually noticed it behind the main bar on the counter. Very poor experience considering the price we paid and money we spent on drinks. Avoid this restaurant for a while until the reviews improve or better management system is put in place. There are a lot better restaurants locally so I’ll go there in future. I’ve sent several emails via their website but as yet not received any response. Appreciate it was Christmas Day and very busy but I think they overbooked and brought in staff who have never done this type of work before.

Went to The Pearl having not been for a while, safe to say we will not be back. We sat in a freezing cold restaurant because they didn’t have any heating. We ordered chicken tikka masala and a chicken balti. The chicken tikka was watery and lacked any flavour as if it was left overs adding water to make it go that bit further, definitely not fresh. The chicken was gooey and freezing cold. The chicken balti was very greasy and again lacked any flavour. We mentioned this to the waiter who walked away and took 30 minutes to return. Paying over £42 for this poor standard of food and not being offered a refund for what we didn’t eat I think is extremely poor. I would avoid this place if you want a decent meal and not an upset stomach. Poor service and disgusting food.

A waiter came and asked, “Should I offer you a drink?” and we answered him. He left without hearing or taking the order. We waited for more than half an hour and then left. The receptionist merely said, "I'm sorry." 😡😡😡

Inside, slow service but food is good. Loads of mishaps with order. Tried the Takeout this time.. Takeout...1.5 hours on a Tuesday evening. (late) Then arrived cold. Delivery driver completely at fault. Driver sat outside revving his souped up engine dropping his dump valve until I went out and asked for my food. Tragic ! The Pearl, get better drivers. I don't want to waste £50 on your takeaway again. They offered free order next time but I am not sure if I can be bothered? Thanks for trying though.

The food was warm (not hot). We were given incorrect advice by staff to encourage over ordering of sundries. We had to turn down poppadoms 5 times before he reluctantly agreed that we did not need to have them, then he insisted that three of us HAD to order three starters and was very put out when Mum declined. They also over-engaged in conversation - bordering on rude and intrusive. The food we got was nothing like as expected. Very tomato based and lacking in spices/flavour. The Butter chicken tasted VERY strange. Chicken Karai is not a tomato dish! Not unpleasant … but NONE was a curry! We eat curry a lot - as Dad was born in Calcutta. We know authentic tastes (but perhaps not from the region where these chefs come from). Portions were vastly different in size. Mine was tiny - and I eat well! Mum’s was HUGE and she eats sparingly. Consistency would be better - or some indication of portion size. I don’t think we’ll eat here again! The garlic naan was good! However - as we left the carpark was filling up … so others must have been luckier than us. This seems like a popular place -given the way it got busy!

Posted previous review a year ago. Not sure what has changed but recently hasn't been the same. Daughter was ill after a meal and recently myself. I eat allot of spicy food so unsure why I didn't feel good afterwards. Venue in urgent need of an update, is it like this behind the scenes & sanitary? Staff are always so attentive, but aside from key people seems to change week on week. A shame as was our go to place. Doesn't seem as busy so maybe others feel the same. Just honest feedback, pains me to say! Absolutely 6*, have loved curry for more years than I can remember and is my go to food. Up and down the country, across the world and these guys hands down do the best chicken tikka pieces, the onion bhaji is good and the service is above usual & appreciated. Attentive, friendly and plenty of staff. Clean, COVID mindful with gloves and atmosphere is correct. Thank you for your service!

Saturday night although was fairly busy, we've visited on far busier nights and had better food and service from Pearl. The pink flour from inside of the Pashwari naan flaked all over the curry leaving the bread like a shell and my curry half pink. A 2nd bread was brought again after our complaint but it happened again. Our (mild!) Jalfrezi sauce had peas and carrots but where were the chillies and peppers? Then after asking if I could take my meal home, i was given a paper bag, a lid and a tray and had to do it myself. My wife snd love the Pearl but it definitly slipped below standards we're used to from there.

We turned up without booking first and had no issue getting a table. The staff were on the ball and we weren't left unattended for long before ordering drinks. The staff member who took our food order was absolutely lovely, especially with our youngest daughter, who commented that she wanted to learn how to make the napkin hats that were on every table. The staff member took the time to show both our daughters (14yo and 19yo) how to make them. Once our 14yo had perfected those, he showed her some other things to make with the napkins while we waited for our food. Both our girls are Autistic however, our 14yo daughter doesn't usually take to strangers very well, but he completely put her at ease and it was lovely to see someone interacting with her like this. Our food came (we ordered 3 lamb tikka pasanda's and 1 chicken angara amongst various sides) and it all looked amazing, however, another staff member commented that he didn't think the lamb pasanda's were the right curries, purely because he couldn't smell the red wine they were cooked with - he must have an excellent sense of smell because he was absolutely right! The correct curries were brought out within a few minutes and everything was perfect. The staff went above and beyond and the food, as always, was fantastic. Highly recommended. 😁

I've been coming to The Pearl for many years, but today I felt compelled to leave a review because of 2 unusual things that happened. Firstly, and maybe most important, the food was excellent. But then it's *always* excellent. So what was different this time? Well, as the server was serving up our mains he recognised from the aroma alone that the order was wrong. You may think this is a bad thing, but no. *Every* person makes mistakes, *every* company. It's how those mistakes are handled that are much more important. So the server, from the aroma alone, had realised the wrong curry had been made. He apologised, returned it to the kitchen and had it replaced urgently (and it was indeed replaced promptly). The 2 curries, the wrong one and the right one, do indeed look almost identical but he spotted it from the aroma. That's impressive. Secondly, and this is even better to me... The gentleman who took our order had noticed that my autistic teenage daughter loved the fancy pattern that they had made with the napkins. She unfolded it to work out how it was done. So after taking our order this absolute delight of gentlemen spent our waiting time very patiently and kindly showing my daughter how to fold napkins in a variety of ways, helping her whilst she memorised the patterns, complimenting her efforts, and *above all else* treating her like an equal. He never spoke down to herz, he never belittled her. I genuinely believe he spoke to her and gave her the respect that he would give to his own children. It may seem like the smallest thing, but that meant the world.

Service was good but unfortunately the food was tasteless. The poppadoms and the naan bread were nice. The Korma was very bland the rice wasn’t nice and the tikka masala was tasteless. One of the worst curries we’ve ever had.

Food decent, but staff rude rushed and poor service I'm afraid. I've been here in the past quite a lot and always loved it but this time the building is looking shabby the toilets were all blocked and we just felt really looked over and a bit put out by the staff. Shame

We came to the pearl on 23rd March 23 after winning a FB mother's day competition and what can I say absolutely outstanding as always I've been visiting the pearl for many years and have always had fantastic experiences. Both starters and mains was delicious. Highly recommended. The staff are always lovely and friendly and can't do enough for you. We didn't have long to wait between meals. A very enjoyable evening. Weekends also have music on in the bar area which is great for a drink and dance before and after your meal we've always had a fantastic evening on all visits.

We had great expectations of this place as I had read some good reviews. The building is nice and the service excellent. There were 5 of us dining and 4 of us had different choices. The special balti looked great. Tasted good and was worth it. The other 3 types of dishes, in all honesty looked and tasted the same. They were all very 'pink' and were very sweet. We had 2 x Goan fish curry, 1 x pasanda and a tikka masala. The only food from these dishes that was eaten was the pasanda as that was expected to be really sweet. The rest were left. We tasted each others and there was no difference in any of our dishes other than the meat/fish. I will not be back as I got the impression they just fobbed us off with the same type of sauce for all our dishes.

Food just OK, not great value for money Tikka Masalla was nice but very small portion and rice was extra not included main meal price, Mixed grill was not worth the money (lamb shank was just a bone with barely any meat on it), other 2x meals were OKish. Our bill just for 4x mains was around £60 (food only) so you would expect at least free poppadum or nan bread. Also had to wait quite long to be served. Overall experience was not good enough for us to go back there in the future. Place is overpriced and overrated.
