The Jaipur T/A West Road Newcastle upon Tyne

This place must have lost it?s award winning chef. It wouldn?t last a week in somewhere like brick lane.
On a score of 0-10. I?m afraid I would have to score it 0.

I?m so disappointed, This is the 1st time I?ve ever posted a food review, but I feel so disappointed.
I was looking forward to trying this take away after reading about it here.
I buy my spices in West Road and thought it sounded good, But what a disappointment.
I ordered a Chicken Karai, Pillau Rice and a Plain Naan.
I like to keep things simple on a 1st visit to a new restaurant.
All of these items I have eaten many many times in lots of different restaurants and T/A?s over the last 40 years. Often in London and Bradford.
This was by far the worst I?ve had.
Some of the chicken was hard, almost unable to cut, and certainly inedible.
The sauce was a bland tomato sauce without the slightest hint of garlic. If I had made this sauce I would not have been able to feed my mates with it, It would be binned.
My 1st impression of the Naan bread was, I thought they had mistakenly given me a Chapati.
It was heavy and flat, it appeared that it may have been under proved and under cooked, absolutely shameful.
The rice was just about ok, but way below my own standard.
This place must have lost it?s award winning chef. It wouldn?t last a week in brick lane.
On a score of 0-10 Im afraid I would have to score it 0.
The staff were very attentive and polite, almost to the point of making me feel uncomfortable while waiting.
