Hubby and I used to be big fans of Ronaq. So much so that we took out of town family and friends there, including for a 50th birthday. I even organised a Christmas lunch just pre-COVID for a large group of female friends. Recently however,...we just don’t recognise the place. Our last two visits, one take away, one sit in, have been awful. Hugely over-spiced food; including yogurt/mint sauce that burned your mouth off, soggy mushroom pakora & rock hard veggie pakora in the same order, and tikka/tandoori dishes even my husband found hard to swallow. Being a bit of a korma girl, I couldn’t eat it at all. The only thing that was tolerable was the popadom. It was all SO hot. It’s such a pity, because their COVID compliance is really good (well apart from the one non-Indian behind the bar, who had no mask, yet is the one with the card machine) and as frontline healthcare workers, this is hugely important to us to protect our elderly patients. Sadly we won’t be back. When you pay restaurant prices for take away, you expect a higher standard than you’d get from a local take away, not lower. And I’m afraid that what we got was just not close to acceptable :(More
