Tonight me and my family went out to Embassy African Restaurant '78 Blackheath Road, Greenwich,LONDON, SE10 8DA'. At this location we experienced a dinner from Hell as coined by Richard Lewis. (Sidebar: you have to be a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" fan to know the reference). We were in a happy place as we left home, listening to Young Jeezy's Recession. We arrived at the restaurant, we were seated promptly and given menus, they gave us 5 menus for a party of 6 and when we asked for another one they said they didnt have enough WHAT you dnt have enough menus. We should have left after that but we didnt.
We began ordering, we asked for a Jug of Juice, they replied we have ran out. How do you run out of juice and the restaurant is practically empty we opted for soft drinks. Food ordering time, we ordered appetisers and then main meal my brother asked for fried rice, they replied they ran out of fried rice (This was another indication that we should have left) so he order Jollof. then the lady came back and said they ran out of Fresh Fish that was requested by my Mother (another sign but at this point going to another place would have been tedious). they brought out our drinks, we discussed various topics from sports to Nick Griffin to Kanye West to Lil Mama
(Sidebar: even my Mum knows about how Kanye disgraced himself with the whole Taylor Swift incident).
It slowly occurred that this place is a HELL HOLE, 30 mins and the appetisers werent brought out. Then our waiteress appeared with our Main Meal first and No appetisers and had the EFFRONTERY to try and be rude to my parents when she was questioned about the bad service needless to say she was put in her place.
(Sidebar: I was scared they might do juju on our food)
They brought 4 out of 6 meals, while me and my sister waited. then ppl that came after us got their food before us. At this point I had murderous intent (see my twitter feed). Finally the food came, nothing special but i ate it because i was starving. Once the meal was done, we were eager to get out of that place, it took them forever and a day to get the check. At this point i went to use their toilet, the state of their toilet was disgusting:
We paid and left, with utter disappointment, on the way out there slogan was 'Visa to good food'. VISA to what, are retarded? Your establishment is one of the reasons, Nigerians are not moving forward. Narrow Minded, No Manners having individuals. I am all for Africans having restaurants, it makes me proud but that establishment should be burnt to the groud and the staff should be flogged for such POOR service and iodine should be added to their wounds. The phrase "Better the devil you know" came to mind throughout the evening, be a creature of habit, dont always try new restuarants. I WILL never visit the place again.
In the end:
Quality of Food: sub par nothing to write home about
Service: This is a FACT Tasty in Woolwich has better service than them
Atmosphere: Hot, bland didnt set the mood for a good evening.
Overall: this is a FAIL of an establishment.
The best part of the evening was leaving to go home. That ends my lil rant about this Embassy Restaurant.
Please DO NOT GO THERE. you will regret it.
Peace
