Saaki on Wednesday 14th November 2007 was without a doubt the worst Curry Club meal that I have experienced.  There are more details on the blog site, but one thing is clear - we won't be going back there until they engage a cook and establish some sort of decent reputation. 

The food was absolute rubbish. Each plate of starters included a little pool of Chinese sweet chilli dip - but even that was mild. The main courses were unspeakably bad. Nothing had flavour or much in the way of colour.  Even the additional Madras curries that were rustled up at the end were completely bland.   The only redeeming factor was the St Emilion at £11.95 a bottle, since this acted in the absence of decent food as an anaesthetic.

Eight of us turned up and we paid the agreed price, £120, for the food.  We were royally ripped off, and frankly we should have refused to pay.  With cooking this bad, I wonder what other standards are (or aren't) being met.

The fact that no-one else came near the restaurant, not even for a takeaway, between 20:15 and 22:00 is a pretty fair sign that the locals know the score. And now we do, too. The best thing the owners of this place can do is to close it down.
