Panshee - Swansea

This was my second visit. A year ago it was the best I had tasted, however, things have taken a plunge..... simply average ! shame.

I recently enjoyed a high-quality Sunday set menu at this restaurant. The standard fare was well-prepared, cooked to order, and not served buffet-style, which I appreciated. At only 8.95 per adult, it was great value for money.

After not dining at Panshee for several years, we decided to give it another chance, but unfortunately, our experience was terrible. The main dishes lacked flavor, were greasy, and all seemed to blend together without essential ingredients like paneer that should have been included. We have no plans to return in the future.

We went to this restaurant for an early meal on Saturday and thought we wouldn't be there long as it was empty and had just opened. We ordered our chutney tray, drinks, and main meal and waited. The chutney tray came with poppadoms, but we noticed hairs in the chutneys. We told the waiter, who brought back the same chutney with hair in it. We complained again, but the issue wasn't resolved. The manager came out and claimed the hairs were coconut fibers, but we knew they were in all of the chutneys. We left the chutney tray and waited for our main meal, but it never came. After over an hour, we decided to leave. The staff tried to charge us for the whole meal, but we refused. We paid for the drinks and the starter with hair in it, but we were not happy. The manager made excuses while wearing dirty clothes, which was unacceptable. We left feeling disgusted and hungry, and we will never return to this restaurant. Be warned that this place is dirty, serves warm and flat drinks, has sweaty and smelly staff, overcharges for hairy food, and provides no service.

The place is dated, the toilets stink and we asked to change our coconut from the chutney tray as there was bits of other stuff in it. Only to be served the same pot, but this time stirred up. Food was bland and service was dire. £1.95 for a table spoon of lime pickle. When I pulled him on it, he said the big jar has gone up from 8.99 to 12.99
