Review of The Hot Pepper Pot, Manchester.

‘WORST RESTAURANT EVER’

February 2023

Review by Robodobo23

I visited this restaurant last week. I was very disappointed with the professionalism, the service
and most of all, the FOOD! When you enter The Hot Pepper Pot, you are greeted by a short man,
who is also short of good manners. We were a group of ten, but this man led us to a small table.
When we asked for a bigger table – there were two – he said they were booked. Nobody else
came to this restaurant while we were there! We were squeezed onto a small table while larger
tables stayed empty. The short man returned with the menus, which were dirty and torn. He
prac'cally threw them at us. We had to order our food and drinks separately, for no good reason. The food came
almost immediately – suspicious! – but by the 'me the drinks were served, we had finished ea'ng. The food itself
was awful! Way too spicy! The chicken wings were greasy and nothing but gristle. The aloo gobi was cold and the
potatoes were rock solid, hard enough to break your teeth on. My best friend had tandoori chicken for his main
course and it was burnt. The chapa*s were 'ny and very expensive. Every 'me we asked about our drinks, the
waitress kept saying they were on their way, but nothing arrived. Finally, when the bill arrived, there was a 10%
service charge added but the service was non-existent. We decided not to pay it. We le1, feeling most unhappy. To
cap it all, the short man chased us down the street – he can run fast! – asking for the missing 10%. Do not go to
this restaurant, it is the worst restaurant ever.
