I went to Chakra with colleagues from work for Diwali and most of the group were Indian. The menu was small, and looked interesting albeit overpriced. The menus were on mini tablets which in itself was pretentious. I ordered the Pot Set Chicken Biryani which...sounded interesting enough, however when it came out it was still cold inside and no heated through, so I sent it back. Everyone else got their meals and were eating whilst I was waiting for my food to re-arrive, thankfully I also ordered the Peshwari Naan so ate that, and it was very nice too. My second biryani finally arrived after everyone had almost finished their food and this time it was hot and not like any biryani I had eaten before and not in a good way. Again thank you naan for being delicious. It was full of raw nuts, sultanas and what tasted like cranberries which did not appeal to me as I normally love a biryani. When I left to pay the bill, there was no apology, and no offer of recompense like a free beer or naan. Some of the others commented that they too did not like their food either. I tried the Butter Chicken which was not like any Butter Chicken I have tried before, it tasted full of cloves, and had I ordered it would not have been able eat it. Chakra tries to do fine dining but fails dismally, which is a shame.More
