Trilogy (Stanmore)

• The food and the service was what we came
• The atmosphere was great and the restaurant had a good family feel to it and we soon realised that a live singer was due to perform later
• Not really my cup of tea as I go to restaurants to enjoy the company of the people I am with and find performers a little irritating but as long as it's not too loud I can live with it
• Our drinks order was taken promptly and at the same time we ordered some Poppadoms and Bombay Mix to nibble on with our first round of drinks
• The drinks arrived at different times and we were served the Poppadoms with the drinks
• We didn't want to chance them a second time round and replaced them with soft drinks
• We thought we would enjoy our first round of drinks with the nibbles we ordered before ordering our starters and soon realised our Bombay Mix still hadn't arrived
• The owner walked past our table and we grabbed his attention to enquire where this was and his response was quite humorous
• So why didn't anyone have he decency to tell us we wouldn't get this and seriously a Bombay Mix which is made up of crisps
• To our astonishment the bill was ridiculous and on further examination it had items on it that we hadn't ordered and the drinks we had returned were still on it
• We queried this and to be fair these were all removed with very little fuss
• We thought that we had better keep a close eye on our bill throughout the rest of the evening as we could start to lose track of what we ordered with such a large party
• Unfortunately not at the same time and one of the dishes I ordered was the chicken wings for which Regency are well known
• I know this wasn't Regency but as the owner was involved with Regency I was hoping for something similar
• What arrived were chicken wings that literally had been deep fried with a dab of spicy sauce on them
• I sent them back and asked for more sauce on them and was left disappointed that the wings hadn't even been marinated before being fried
• Anyway we went on to order our main courses and more drinks throughout the evening and the service was really poor
• One dish we did order as people we know had recommended it was the Stuffed Karela Curry
• I have to say I was not disappointed with this and this lived up to its expectation
• The rest of the food was at best ok
• Once because it came in what looked like a half portion and secondly because it was so watery it lacked taste
• In summary the service was poor and we had to keep checking our bill throughout the evening and even then
• The food overall was at best OK
• The atmosphere was great but a little cramped and the entertainment was well
• Some work to do and maybe the entertainment for most diners is a distraction as to what the food and service is really like
• The food here is amazing the starters are on point
• The coriander chicken and Kheema Briyani is a must try and it's a feeling like home so I can always going back here again and again
• The service is on point here
