"Booked a table for a meal. Once seated, nobody offered us a menu or to take our order for drinks."
"We needed to remind staff about orders and continuously hail to order drinks."
"The service was quite slow as well."
"Service was really slow - definitely looked like they were understaffed especially during days of the discounted eat out days."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Strange night, classic karaoke (meaning most singers were terrible) but the customers (lots of locals) loved it and sang with them, atmosphere around people dancing & child friendly."
"What a place!!! Great Covid protocols in place. Felt safe!"
"Came down with a few of my girls in their Newly refurbished Buddha lounge it was a fantastic evening."
"Great atmosphere good food good prices good for a social night meeting up with friends or just somewhere different to eat prices are reasonable."
"What a vibe!! Traditional pub with Indo-Chinese cuisine."
"Plus atmosphere in here is probably one of the best pubs to chill eat and maybe a bit of sports in Croydon imo."
"The atmosphere is always good when the big screens on for footy and boxing 😉 great place for groups."
Cons:
"I'll be honest I really didn't like this place. Mainly due to the noise of some of the patrons."
"Once my friend went into the smoking area I observed no social distancing within that area and everyone was hanging around each other which I think was awful."
"The only thing I would say is they can be a little rude when getting people out at the end of the night, mainly the doorman."
"Very masogonistic atmosphere and managers which is my order was a take away."
"But my major concern is the feeling of always being watched by the owners and staff related to the owners for what I consider being a young black male."
"I didn't like the vibe of this place was a bit tacky..."
"Firstly thank you to the manager for ruining my birthday!"

"Portion sizes were a joke, not enough for even 1 person, forget sharing for 2."
