Kora La - Don’t waste your money

[duncrieviedude]

Just back from our 1st Tui cruise, which was around the Canary Islands.

Overall we were very pleased with most aspects of the cruise and Tui organisation with the exception of the Kora La restaurant. This was an extremely poor meal. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable but it was very rushed. Our starters arrived before we had finished our Amuse bouche and the main meals were served almost immediate after the starters. It felt like we were being rushed out, it certainly wasn’t going to be a nice relaxed evening as it should have been.

The tempura starters were overcooked with a very thick coating and the crispy duck and watermelon also being well over cooked . This was not crispy duck as we know it but dry and hard and tasted like bits of string. 
All 4 curries, (all slightly different) were like spiced gravy. There was no creaminess, no depth of flavour and were just like having the cheapest own brand no frills curry from a cheap supermarket. The so called naan breads were not naan bread but stodgy pitta breads. They were not  chargrilled or even warm,  just thick white stodge.
We complained at the time and I followed this up with a very good chat with one of the head chefs and overall restaurant manager a couple of days later who appeared to take this all very seriously and were very apologetic.

Even if this meal had been £10 a head we would have been disappointed, but to pay £27 a head for it was an insult. 
I certainly would not try this particular venue again

Exactly this.  Don’t waste your money.

Where we live we are spoiled for choice for Asian food and we have never had a meal that was as disappointing as the one we had at the Kora la on Explorer.🤢
