Service was incredibly slow. Waiter forget half our order and had to ask where drinks were a few times. I didn't enjoy my meal. Ready made sauce in a jar type. Will not be returning.

Went with a small group. The chef came to take our order, he was very happy to help me out with my needs for no onion or peppers, unusual at a curry restaurant i have found, but very welcome. The food took a while to come but fresh and tasty when it did. The server apologised for the delay. Very... More

We went to celebrate a birthday. Service was so slow. Our starter arrived promptly but our main course did not. After waiting for 45 minutes we had to leave. Real shame as this was our first and now last visit. The reviews indicated that this was the best Indian restaurant in leek. Even trip adviser can be wrong.

Hi Hungrini, At home when I cook a meal from scratch it takes me circa 30 mins. At Qarma, one of our unique seling points is that we cook everything from scratch using the best quality ingredients. If you add on to this the fact that your visit was on a Saturday night where we we were feeding circa 120... More

Our first visit to this well-reviewed restaurant and it lived up to its promise as a welcoming and warm venue with a great menu full of original and beautifully prepared dishes. My beetroot and coconut somosa was excellent, for example. The chef was friendly and all the staff were efficient and attentive. We'll definitely be heading for Leek again soon!

I have been coming here ever since it opened and never had a bad meal. The staff are very attentitive and always give you a warm welcome and goodbye (with a rose to the ladies - a lovely touch!) The curries are hotter here than in some curry houses in Leek which I personally love! However, you can choose the... More

We have eaten here ever since it opened. Some very good original dishes along with the ususl. The Lamb Massur is really good and the service is excellent. our last visit only spoilt by the lack of Indian sweets available.

Second review, visited yesterday evening with friends. Table was reserved for 8pm and the bar reception area was fairly empty and slumped down into a very low leather settee and waited and waited. Staff seemed busy but didn't appear co-ordinated, there was a sense of not quite being in control, no one taking charge of welcoming guests, taking their coats,... More

Thank you very much for your second review. I am very disappointed in the level of service you have received - everything you have mentioned are my pet hates - particularly where service is concerned - and surprised as we pride ourselves on the service I ask my staff to try and provide - I will personally look into re-iterating...

Been several times and enjoyed each meal , hence the return. Last went on Friday 1st Feb for a family meal for my birthday the following day. Although it was a Friday night and quite busy we didn't have to wait long between courses and all the food was hot and delicious. Each time it is hard to choose from... More

Thank you very much for the review - and appreciate the feedback. We do have a consistent comment from the "early birds" - where the restaurant feels (and is cold) early on - with the size of the building we are trying different things to ensure the restaurant is as comfortable as possible - with the timer on from early...
