Food Quality
Pros:
"The Nawab sauce is delicious and you won't find it in other places."
"Each dish was so full of flavour and had the right level of spice."
"The food is of exceptional quality, and the service is second to none."
"The taste of the King Prawn Dansak was banging."
"The food outstandingly succulent with flavours to delight the palate."
"Everything we ordered tasted fresh and well prepared."
"Every dish is prepared to mouth-watering perfection."
Cons:
"Unfortunately, on arrival, all the dishes were overcooked and dried up."
"The Nawab Mashano starter for £8.95 is pretty expensive for two samosas, two pakora, a small lamb kofte and some chicken, both of which were also pretty dry."
"The mixed grill was truly awful with very dry and chewy meats."
"The prawns were non existent and tasteless."
"Some of the blandest food I have ever eaten."
"The dhal was too runny and bland."
"I ordered paneer makhani, expecting a creamy, buttery, rich tomato and cashew based curry but unfortunately receiving a pale orange, grainy, sugary, coconut curry."
Service

Cons:

"Very disappointing, small portions of rice, charged for the chutney with popadoms, and expensive."
"Really disappointed with the food and most importantly the attitude of the manager."
"It is with great regret that I have to say that we were presented with really thick bread which is supposed to represent their nan which was stodgy and horrid."
"We ordered takeaway of three stews and naan, and all had tons of sugar in it!? Awful! We had to bin most of it except for the Karai which actually tasted somewhat normal."
"Really disappointed. Having been a customer of the Taste of Nawabs for many years I'm disappointed that the management have taken the opportunist approach in hiking their prices by as much as 60% Monday through Wednesday to coincide with the 'eat out to help out' scheme."
"I wouldn’t even give them 1 star if I had a choice."
"A small, humble restaurant that clearly deeply values its customers."
"Small place which makes the service much more personal."
"The restaurant was full of happy customers and had a homey atmosphere."
"A good atmosphere with nice Bollywood background music."
"You are met with warm hospitality and a cosy interior when entering."
"It was a great restaurant experience and would definitely recommend!!"
Cons:
"Maybe the portion sizes/quality is different when you eat in the restaurant?"
"The tables are a little crowded but was definitely offset with the quality of the food."
"Can get quite busy here as it's quiet small, so best to book a table in advance."
"It's not (in my view) for businesses to hike prices taking advantage of their customers, and the government-backed scheme. It smacks of profiteering plain and simple."

"Everything is overpriced."
"I thought the food was pricey for the amount we eat for 2."
