bhoj indian restaurant - corner rakaia way and promenade new quay docklands docklands 3008 9600 0884

now i understand that bhoj has a great name, in woop-woop. in the docklands they just don't seem to understand the concept of service and waitering.

they opened the doors and had forgotten to put their pants on. never mind hitting the ground running. the waiters reminded me of one of those old keystone cops movies. you know, where they keep running around bumping in to each other and falling over. the food was really good, when we got it. they have two distinct themes going with the tables. on one side, you have the tables and chairs you would find in any overpriced docklands restaurant. on the other, split logs from recently felled trees still leaking sap and making you think you've wandered into the atherton tablelands. stick to the left side of the restaurant.

i've no doubt they'll pick up their game on the 'wait-and-serve' side of the business but with so many people in docklands now and so few eateries, there's not much incentive. don't get me wrong, they're by no means the worst of the bunch (see liquid for this honour), but they need some order and a course on 'so you want to be a restaurateur - for dummies.' pick up your game, boys.
