Spiced Hair
My partner and I ate at the Tagore 23.09.2008. From the start the staff were sullen and abrupt. Just as we were beginning our meal, I noticed a long black hair in the food on my partner's plate. I called a waiter over, who was clearly annoyed at being summoned and was rude to us from the outset.

She snatched the plate away from my partner and went to speak to the chef. Shortly afterwards the manager arrived who was also very aggressive and demanded to know which dish the hair came from. We were unsure, so the two main dishes were grabbed from the table and eventually replaced.

When we were leaving I went to speak to the manager to tell him how annoyed I was that he and his staff were very rude throughout and at no time did we receive an apology from anyone.

I paid the bill because in all fairness they replaced two of the dishes, but in all of the discussion we forgot to check the bill and it wasn't until afterwards we realised that we had also been overcharged by £6.

What also surprised me was that the manager couldn't care less, and was quite prepared to argue agrressively at the slightest opportunity. We also witnessed him arguing with other customers nearby. Perhaps he gets a lot of unhappy customers?

I have no idea why we stayed and didn't just pay for our starters and drinks and then leave. I think we were shocked, and quite tired actually, and so we just went along with it all.

DEFINITELY A PLACE TO BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS. The place is so bad that it doesn't really rate even 1 star.
