Viceroy Milford Stafford
Ordered a takeaway for delivery on 08.02.23, were told an hour so after around an hour and ten minutes I called just to check if it was on its way yet as we were all starving by this point 😀
We were told the driver was just leaving the restaurant, paid on arrival and took the food to the table to start unpacking. After opening everything, the two naan breads were burnt and luke warm, the onion Baha’i’s were also a little over cooked and also luke warm and the chips too. I took a photo of the back of the naan bread to show how burnt and crumbly it was and I called the restaurant to inform them of this. The person who answered the phone made the statement that he can’t quite believe how it was as cold as I was suggesting it was as apparently it had left the restaurant directly after it had been cooked. After a conversation about this I then stated that as I had called to inform them of this straight away the other items were now cold as I had been talking to him inform him and hadn’t been eating. He then wsaid well I’m not quite sure what you want me to do because to start off with it was 3 items (actually 4 as both the naan breads were burnt and luke warm) and now you are saying other things are cold. Which I had explained they were now cold because of calling the restaurant straight away. He offered to re-cook the cold items and send them straight away, which I declined as it was nearly 8.30pm and the items in question were to eat with everything else which would be cold by then. I asked for a refund, which was refused. He then kept offering to re-cook the order but as I had already said it’s too late now due to the time, we would re-heat said items and I wanted a refund. I have visited this restaurant and had deliveries from here in the past and was 100% happy with everything, the food was amazing and delicious, so it was our first choice when we decided on a take-away. I said this to him, that I wasn’t over exaggerating with how cold the food had arrived but was left feeling like I was just lying to get my money back which I wasn’t. In the end after realising I was not going to get any of my money back or even some kind of credit for our next visit or takeaway for what was a dreadful meal I ended the call. I am utterly disappointed as it had become our favourite place to go for Indian food, I will not be returning or ordering from them again as they clearly are not willing to accept when someone says something is not right, and you are left feeling like they believe you are lying.
Terrible customer service, normally great food but on this occasion was left feeling hugely disappointed.
