Uni Restaurant

Naz

Went to UnI the other day for the first time and it probably be my last. Liked the idea of the little booths n our waiter was very friendly. The letdown was the food. Ordered chicken chaat for starter and that was decent,good size.Main I ordered a prawn madras n my friend ordered a chicken dupiaza. Both meals were horrible, had no taste to them n just looked like thick gunge. The cutlery was also quite sticky as was my drinks glass. Was quite disappointed won't be going there again.

I got a take away from Uni on the basis of all the good reviews I read. It was utterly VILE. I got the Cha Chas King Prawn Special and I could not eat it. The sauce had absolutely no taste to it and the prawns tasted very fishy eeewww. Husband got Lamb Jalfrezy and that lacked any sort of heat and was equally as bland. NEVER AGAIN :(

Wow! Went there for the first time last night with my fiancee. Got a private booth, an attentive and friendly waiter (but not the lad who bought the food who was abrupt and bordering on rude) still it didn't spoil it as the food was fabulous and quite reasonable prices too. Will go back again asap!

I love eating out and probably spend far too much time looking at this website! This is a fantastic Indian restaurant which I think competes with some of the best restaurants in Liverpool. Good value for money and excellent authentic tasting food. Food isn't normally my favourite cuisine but I will definitely be going back here. Well recommended.

When you have a lot of competition you have to distinguish yourself. Uni is an Indian restaurant, in a city with a lot of Indian restaurants, on a street with three other Indian restaurants and its unique feature is cubicles. It says on its menu that it is a cubicle restaurant. No one ever decided to go to a restaurant for a cubicle. I guess the idea was supposed to be romantic and exclusive, like a private dining room. However, heavy spicy food is not an aphrodisiac. The waiters can’t see if you have finished or not, so if you did get intimate you will have the curtains opened and be asked if you would like more drinks. We sat in our cubicle and kept the curtains tied back. One thing Uni could do to be different from the competition would be to serve good food but it was obvious that they think cubicles are enough and haven’t bothered. My starter was mushroom bhaji on puri. The mushrooms were well spiced but the tomatoes were under ripe, I know it is April but if you can’t get ripe tomatoes buy them from abroad or don’t use them. The puri was not a flaky, light base; it was dense and tasteless as was my companions. He had sag aloo on puri and he did not like it. Things got worse. When his main course came he said “That is the saddest looking lamb tikka I have ever seen.” I have never seen a happy lamb tikka but I have seen much perkier salads then the one on his plate. My lamb tikka rogan josh was disappointing. It didn’t have the spicy kick I expect from rogan josh. I know one could argue forever about what constitutes medium in a curry but this was not it. As they used more under ripe tomatoes it was bland. The mushroom rice and naan breads (one plain , one garlic) were passable although I would have liked the naan to be a bit fluffier. We obeyed the golden rule of eating in an Indian restaurant and didn’t order puddings. I have a serious problem with the drinks menu. There were two options on draft, Tetleys and Carling but no Cobra, Kingfisher or anything you might want to drink. There are bottles of Cobra at more then double the price in a shop. Of course they are going to jack the prices up but at least serve something I can’t get from a supermarket. The wine and spirits available were uninspiring. I know a lot of Indian restaurants have problems with drinks as the owners are teetotal but this was unacceptable. The waiters were competent but not friendly. The decor (cubicles aside) was the worst kind of 70s curry house stereotype; swirly carpets and bad lighting. There was a strange and strong smell that came from the upstairs toilets right into the restaurant. This place was not cheap. I don’t think Indian food should be cheap but this was bad food in an unpleasant environment so no price is too low. Next time I want a curry, I‘ll cook my own. It will be tastier and the Cobra will be cheaper.
