Everest Tandoori Restaurant
22 Grove St, Retfordordered food on news year eve and it was awful. I had been looking forward to it all day. rang about 5:30pm and ordered a 8:30pm delivery and it got to us about 9:30. when the food arrived it was very bland and didn't taste of anything I was disappointed. I know it was probably a busy time for them but they shouldn't send food out like that only place fit for it was the bin. ordered a chicken tikka masala, lamb passanda, onion bhaji,poppadoms, naan breads. me amd my partner took one mouthful each and that is all we had the bin ate the rest. I didn't want to ring up and complain as I know they were very busy and didn't want to create more chaos for them.

The Elms Hotel
London Rd, RetfordWent for a meal there in the Indian restaurant part.
The service was great from the guy at the reception area, I didn’t get his name to the two people who waited on us, predominantly Emmanuel who took our orders, served us and asked if everything was to our liking which it was .
There was Alishia from Arizona ( America ) who was just as polite and engaging as Emmanuel, made for a great experience overall.
I cannot rate it highly and will be going again at the first opportunity to celebrate anything.
The decor of the room and the quality of the food was exceptional .
