Tapasya@Marina Reviews Summary

Food Quality and Variety

Pros:

• "4 courses of the vegetarian menu were exceptional."
• "Both quality & quantity is pretty good."
• "The quality of the food is good."
• "Food was exceptional, flavourfull and balanced - had lamb shank (nalli ghost), spicy but meat was fall-off-bone tender and juicy."
• "All of the food was very tasty but you need the sides to make up the meal."
• "Different mention to what you may expect, with presentation much improved from the typical 'curry with rice'."
• "Absolutely delicious food, and wonderful atmosphere."
• "One of the best Indian I have ever visited. Smaller portions but obviously a great chef."

Cons:

• "We were served a block of paneer in 2 dishes, hence just missing out on 5 stars on this occasion."
• "Tiny portions of food and higher than average prices."
• "The food was inedible and when we politely complained the staff were rood and aggressive."
• "The food is not actually Indian, it does look Indian but tastes nothing like it."
• "Starter was delicious, fish lightly battered with a beautiful spicy mayo. Main was lamb shank, it was definitely heat over flavour....the sauce was grainy."
• "The popadoms were laughable and basically sensations packet crisps."
• "Food was pricey and not very yummy. A bit disappointed particularly at the taste of the dish I had as I had high expectations."
• "Overpriced, no choice ...... this is not an Indian restaurant....."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "Good service, professional waiters in matching attire."
• "The service was very efficient, smiley and friendly."
• "Fantastic food and excellent staff."
• "The staff were all so lovely, and loved how spacious and well decorated the place was."
• "The service and waiting staff were excellent."
• "Great service and the main course was divine."
• "Popped for lunch, was met by really attentive staff who clearly focused on the customer experience."
• "Absolutely the best Indian food to be had in Hull and quite possibly in Yorkshire. Food and service are outstanding!"

Cons:

• "The wine list is far more extensive than the range of food, so that tells you where their priorities are."
• "The food was good, but the service was terrible the waiter was rude with us since the beginning."
• "The service was very slow. We arrived for the meal at 1930 and didn't finish our mains until about 2200."
• "The service was attentive; 'ok' in delivery. The seating was not very good at all."
• "Despite the food itself being good it was very disorganised. We had booked our table some six weeks ago and pre ordered our meals, however we waited over an hour before being served our starter."
• "Been to this place so many times but the service is so hit and miss. A lot of aggression and passive aggressive behaviour is felt at times."
• "They gave me the wrong food (it was actually meant for the next table). They then tried charging me two services charges after amending the bill with the food I was served."
• "Good location, great food, staff are a little bit in fear, we were asked to leave before 10pm as we were the only ones in there at 9:20, insisted we still wore a face covering."

Ambiance and Location

Pros:

• "The entrance of the place overwhelmed me as there was an idol of Indian God."
• "Great high ceiling venue with soft tone lighting."
• "Tapasya is ideally located with it overlooking Hull harbour and next to Humber Dock Street with plenty of bars in the area."
• "Fantastic food tonight, really reasonable price and so filling! The staff were all friendly and attentive! Especially Ben and Camilla who were really friendly."
• "A great Indian restaurant right on the marina in Hull. Very authentic and excellent cooking."
• "Lovely dinner after we visited the deep in Hull. Didn’t book a table but they were happy to seat us very quickly."
• "A different type of curry restaurant. Although a limited menu the food is fresh and very well cooked."
• "Great curry, fantastic dining experience, if you're expecting poppadoms and tikka masala, not the place for you."

Cons:

• "I don't like loud music when eating but here couldn't hear any. With a large empty restaurant it needed something to lift the atmosphere."
• "The location is wonderful. The place pretends to be upright. It’s not."
• "Nice and clean. Very limited menu. No indication of strength of dishes. Not your normal menu."
• "Overpriced, no choice......offers 5% NHS discount......had to call manager over to get this, on food only came to £1.72.....not worth it and still too expensive."
