It was fine, however they ran out of Kingfishers beers after only 2 rounds Also needed to ask for sauces with Entree which should have been mandatory Long delay between Entree and main course of banquet

Great food but very poor service, we were a group of 7 and the waiters never came to our table unless we put our hand up. Our water glasses were never filled and we were never asked if we wanted dessert, tea or coffee, then had to ask for our bill.

Great food and service as always. The only criticism I would have is that the restaurant appeared to be unaware that we had booked a table.

Very nice food, fresh and plentiful. The staff provide good service though on a busy night it can be a bit of a wait for meals. All in all a very enjoyable experience!

One of the worst meals I have ever had. Most of the food had so much salt in to be virtually indedible, I left most of the dishes. Why any so called chef would use that amount of salt is beyond me. We did advise the waiter no added salt. Should have sent it back but didn't wan the hassle. The Kashmiri Naan was quite good and not salty.

The food was good. Staff should be trained NOT to sweep crumbs off the tables on to the floor. After diners have finished, the crumbs should be neatly swept off the table, on to a plate and then disposed of rather than being brushed off the table on to the carpeted floor.

Excellent food. Excellent decor/ ambience (and appreciate the carpeting which dampens noise). However, waiting staff not very welcoming/ friendly; hardly spoke when taking our order.

Chimes Restaurant has a well-lit, pleasant ambience. There is good parking facilities in the vicinity. The wait-person was slow at understanding the orders and lacked confidence, and was friendly. The drink order could have been faster and not all the orders came at the same time. The food was good but not outstanding. Overall, the experience was positive and relaxing. I would be happy to return some time in the future.
