Star Anise - Brampton

I wasn't too impressed by our starters of onion bhaji and samosas, as they were quite small and just average. However, the main dishes of lamb rogan and lamb korma were absolutely delicious, although a bit on the smaller side. The rice and naan we ordered were cooked perfectly as well. The total came to £40 without drinks, which felt a bit pricey, but I would consider returning—just skip the starters and order an extra main instead. Service: Dine-in.

One Star Anise. Would be zero if an option. Incredibly poor customer service. The food would have been tasty, but it was served very cold, add that to an argumentative waiter who speaks but doesn't listen made for an unpleasant dining experience. Two ears one mouth a human ratio worth noting One Star Anise. Apparently it's fine to serve tandoori king prawn at room temperature because there is lettuce on the plate. Oddly I ordered TKP (not a lettuce dish), so would have preferred that to be served at least warm if not sizzling, and definitely not on an ice cold plate. Threatening filthily dressed chef (concerning food hygiene hazard levels) means we will never return, nor recommend on any level.

Cold food, poor service, aggressive threatening behaviour from chef. Best not complain, better still steer clear Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £40–50

Delightful depth of flavour in reasonable portions. Genuinely wonderful.
