Ajanta Indian Cuisine in Wigan

Just had our meal and doesn't dissapoint yet again this place 👌don't get the credit it deserves , cracking little indian loyal customer of 7 years

I order from here all the time never disappointed! Chicken tikka masala 10/10! Great quality and speedy delivery!

Ajanta Indian Cuisine. Just tried to ring up to make an order for delivery which we have done before and got told that we can’t ring up to order we have to do it online. I then said that we was paying cash and didn’t want to make the order online and was told well don’t order then, we only take orders online. To which I said well what if you didn’t have internet access and was told well you wouldn’t be able to order. Which I said well we won’t order then. The attitude of this establishment is ridiculous.

One of the best Indians in wigan

Web site says there open but when you ring them, there phone is always engaged, been trying to ring them for nearly an hour

After ringing before they open to ask if we can place the order as cash payment when they arrive as we dont have the internet. Being told we could to then being told we have to order online 39 minutes later. For those that dont have the internet this is disgusting. Ordered a few times from here and never any issues until recently. Absolutely shocking behaviour from the guy I spoke to on the phone . Also daylight robbery!! You have lost a regular customer and I'm pretty sure you will lose more in the near future!

Disgusting and freezing cold food

Ordered from here last night 28/10/23 The food took an hour and half to arrive. In hindsight I probably could of got curry mile and back...just When it finally arrived me and my Mrs jess who was drifting in and out of sleepy consciousness were treated to a brown paper bag that had sweated that much it had transformed itself into papier-mache Inside the papier-mache ball was a cold carton of rice a cold tokka massala a semi cold rogan josh a garlic naan with the texture of playdoh and finally another bag of papier-mache this one containing soggy wet chips I rang ajanta to share my disappointment when I did this I was asked "do you have a microwave " Everybody knows you shouldn't microwave something twice so I just told him he's deluded. If you want cold , tasteless ,soggy food that takes ages to arrive Order from here you won't be disappointed

Amazing food as always, Ajanta is our go too Indian, food is always spot on. Delivery was fast, food was piping hot and very flavoursome. They read and followed our notes excellent service. Thank you, Adam

UPDATE: Ajanta are now back on Uber Eats but each time I try to order from them, they cancel my order with no explanation or apology. Useless! Since they removed themselves from Uber Eats, the price of my meal has gone up by almost a tenner which means I can now no longer afford to eat here on a regular basis. A starter, main course, rice, naan bread and delivery was about £19 on Uber Eats, but through their own website and or app it's closer to £27, which is too much for a meal for one. I understand the takeaway apps charge a fee, but surely they could cut out the app and charge the same price, keeping more of the sale price? I've been coming here a while now and found that whilst there's usually a wait for delivery, the food is worth a wait.

Used to enjoy eating from here. Now ive noticed the price has gone up by a fiver. More importantly, it is some how cooked and on its way within 10 minutes, it arrived and rice is mushy and horrible. You can tell its all just been warmed up. Wont be eating from here again.

Disgusting customer service having a go at us because we ordered at 22:00 off just eat they could’ve rejected the order but didn’t then turns up having a go telling us to order before 10 next time (like there will be a next time) as the close at 22:30 when they don’t as their website says 23:00 but if so it needs to be put on the website that they stop taking orders at a certain time rude as hell at my door.

Decent Indian Food, presented well and quick delivery most of the time- though there have been times when it has taken 2 hours plus for the food to arrive with no explanation. Pricing is in the average range. They have tonight decided to come off the Uber Eats and Just Eat platforms. A real retrograde step with no loyalty/discount system on their own app to replace it. I hope they don't regret it as there are other comparable Indians with better offers now,

Food was tasteless. Asked for plain, they still put everything on it, fries were greasy and overcooked. Wouldnt go back

We have used this take out many times and always enjoyed it. I rang to place an order today and was told I have to use the website which wouldn't accept my login details so they have just lost over £85 in 1 booking to another take away. Now they have also lost a customer because they can't be bothered to take telephone orders anymore

Cancelled my order twice on Uber Eats with no phone call to explain. Cancellation message on app said they were not accepting any new orders but at the time of writing they were still accepting new orders on Uber Eats, Just Eat etc. Very disappointing as been a regular customer before this and always found them a good restaurant. But they have to behave better than this.

Absolutely rude and disgusting customer service! Said he wouldn't come up the stairs because he can't be arsed and called me Mrs a PIG to her face! Place wants shutting down

Love the food here , always quick delivery , good value for money !

Don't oreder from here . Order never turned up after 3hrs waiting .spoke to staff twice to be told with driver . Rang again to very rude staff who cancelled our order told to ring just eat . £40 down .

One word = revolting Advise = don’t order Why = more onions than chicken and added loads of spice to the chicken tikka to hide the quality of the chicken that if burnt my mouth. No concern given when I complained. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Absolutely amazing Indian food, staff are polite and friendly

Fourth time ordering from here and they are now our regular Indian. Bad bits first. They missed our onion bhajis off. And delivery was a good 30 mins after the stated time. But they were mad busy and mistakes do happen. And the delay in the delivery...well it was well worth it!! The food is amazing. The tandoori mixed grill starter is simply delicious. I also highlyrecommend the shazani murgh curry. My wife and myself absolutely love this dish. It's a sweet and sour dish but obviously Indian style. We live in Skelmersdale and we used our local Indian here. But the standards of the ingredients have gone down in my opinion. This place uses top ingredients. It's a bit more expensive then my old place, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for!! The chicken is proper fresh. Not chewy and dry like I've experienced else where. We over ordered purposely so we could have some the next day. The chicken was as delicious as when we received it. Please don't drop your standards ajanta. Your food is amazing. That's why I will let you off with the bhajis and late delivery!!😉

Absolutely disgusting customer service. Food was over an hour late and when we rang the first time we got told it was with the driver and would be with us shortly… fair enough we thought, after another half an hour of waiting we rang to ask how long the food would be we got a cocky response of “well ring Uber and get your money back” Avoid this restaurant at all costs. No customer service and no help at all. Avoid it trust me

worst indian around wigan rang restaurant as food was over an hour late and my kids was waiting for tea they told me it was on the way but still didn’t arrive over an hour later person on the phone no help at all will never go again avoid.

I have experienced many different Indian takeaways and this is the only one myself and my husband go to every time now. The food is very tasty and always hot on arrival. We've never had an issue with delivery either. We ordered last night (Friday) and it took about 45 minutes but that's expected. The prawn korma is lovely. I ordered mushroom rice which I must say is a bit spicy. Not sure if it's cooked with some spices? I really can't tolerate spicy food hence the korma, but the rice was still edible even with the spice. I ordered cheese naan and this is the only disappointment. There is so little cheese in them that I thought they accidently send plain ones. I took them apart and there was a tiny slither of cheese to the point I couldn't see it. That is my own niggle. More cheese in the naans please :D Other than that, a very good Indian and definitely worth a try. Really good selection of dishes and if you order direct with their own app, you get 10% off.

Absolutely vile food and it came with hairs in it😡🤢do not recommend this at all🤭👎

Good food ... quick service .... what more could you want

I'm in New Zealand. Ajanta is in Wigan. My friend is in Orrel. My friend is having a difficult time so I thought I'd provide an evening meal for him. Ajanta have an easy to follow on line payment system. So I placed my order from NZ, I got a really nice personal confirmation and the meal was delivered exactly on time. My friend messaged to say it was really delicious food. Excellent service, excellent delivery, all sortrd well even from NZ. Delicious food.

If I could score zero, I would. Had one before and the wait was 2 hours. Thought I would give them another chance. Wish I hadn't bothered. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Terrible service. Absolutely appaling. Won't bother again.

The food from here is lovely. We usually get delivery and it's always piping hot and so fresh. I did collect it myself once and inside is very clean and staff so friendly. Whilst waiting you can see the chef cooking. The portions are generous and price is very reasonable. The only thing I'd say is the cheese naan could do with more cheese. There is parking behind the takeaway but it's very dark. I felt a bit on edge walking back to the car. I'm really pleased I found this place. They use just eat but they have their own app too which offers 10% off. Really excellent little place!

First time ordering from here today and it won't be the last. Food for 4 arrived 15 minutes early, which was a bonus. All the meals were hot and delicious. I had chicken pathia which can be very sweet depending on where you order it from, this one was hot and sour with just a hint of sweetness, the way it is supposed to be 😋

Food is always amazing from here. Piping hot and tasty.

We ordered via ubereats and our order was confirmed and estimated to arrive at 9pm. Just before this time we checked on the app if the food was on its way to discover the order had been cancelled by the shop and we had no idea!!! I phoned the shop to be told one of my dishes requested no potato which was a request they could not fulfill so they cancelled the order!!! We were told if we were to reorder, they would get the food to us ASAP. After another hour, we still didn't have our order! I phoned again to be told the food would be with us in a maximum of 15 minutes...55 minutes later, our food arrived! 3 hours waiting for food which when arrived was cold and the onion bhaji and pakoras were soggy. Every time I spoke to the shop, I was greeted by a very rude man, who spoke badly to me and took no responsibility for their actions or mistakes and made no effort to rectify the situation, offer compensation or provide reassurance it wouldn't happen again. Very disappointed.

I ordered a mix kabab. It was full off greese I had to throw my nann bread as it was soaked in greese. I always order from here, but tonight was awful. I won't be ordering from hear again. I can still taste the fatty oil in my mouth!

Best Indian food in Pemberton (I haven't tried any others outside of Pemberton in the Wigan area 😄). Always add extra spice to my butter chicken, making it perfect for my palate. Nice bunch of lads, and if they ever opened a restaurant I would definitely eat in.

By far and away the best Indian takeaway in town, friendly service and I hope to see them with a restaurant sometime soon

I have ordered from them several times through the year and like most take aways the food is up and down but the delivery is always when they quote. That was until today. Ordered just before 8pm through just eat and was quoted a 9.30pm delivery. 9.30 came and went with no delivery. Requested a text update. Update came with a delivery time 50 mins after the original quote. Thought about cancelling as that is too late for me only to find out I would have to still pay 50% of the order (in this case I would have to pay £22) which is too much to just throw away so decided to wait. Called the restaurant just to ask why it was taking an extra 50 mins. Was told the kitchen was running behind. Food arrived 50 mins after and the food was tasteless portion sizes seemed smaller then in the past and poppadoms were soggy. Clearly the quality has taken a hit due to being busy but don't commit to a delivery time to then not meet that delivery time and then add an extra 50 mins on top of that. Will be giving them a miss in future.

First time and definitely. never again, I felt sick to what I witnessed especially in the current situation we are in I.only ordered.mushroom rice as I was feeling. a bit off and that was what I fancied As I was paying for it I witnessed a worker behind the counter who was counting money WIPE HIS NOSE FULLY WITH HOS HAND AND CARRIED ON , A FEW SECONDS PAst AND HE DID IT AGAIN BUT ASTONISHINGLY HE THE WENT TO THE COOKER TO SEE TO THE PANS ON STOVE , AJUSTING THE HEAT ON THEM NOT ONCE DID HE WASH HIS HANDS !!!! It knocked me even more sick ,needless to say I threw my order straight in the bin He may not of cooked my order but after seeing what I saw , I wasn't going to chance it , beware

Waited longer than what was told for the food to arrive, however won’t hold this against them as everywhere is the same in regards to extended delivery times and business. Ordered arrived and food order came wrong which was the most disappointing thing, currys and kebab lacked flavour

Had great curry, gets a smiley face😊

It has great food with a great taste so yummy I could eat for days and the cookers are very friendly

Amazing, honestly the best food I've had from an Indian! Would highly recommend.

Food was 2 hours late. I rang 5 times to ask where our food was only to be told "Yeah yeah 5 mins" - They also HUNG UP on me twice. Food never arrived in the end and no apology was given. Absolute joke you need shutting down.

One of the worst places I have had a curry from, my wife used to get me curry from here when we were dating and they were great, the last few times however they have been appalling... I ordered at 730pm, with an estimated arrival of 9pm... I didn't get my food until after 10pm... and the food was sub standard, the curry had the flavour of mushy baby food, sweet, no spice/flavour at all, until you get to the 3 pieces of chicken and they were just hot not really full of flavour, not to mention the cold naan bread. I called up at 925 to ask where my food was and I couldn't hear because the line was terribly fuzzy, a few minutes he said, that turned into another 45 minute wait, and when I called again the line was "busy" and wouldn't let me through at all! I will not be trying again, it's a shame because they used to be better than this.

The food was very politely home delivered and was on time. The first time that I have seen a select option of Hot/Medium/Mild for each dish. This is amazing. I have been eating Indian food since 1975 throughout the country and been disappointed many a time when your curry isn't spicy enough, you just don't go back there again. But for The Ajanta the food was up there with my best Vindaloo dish of all time, (44 years experience) and the chips were proper thick chips (not the dirty black ones you sometimes see from other food outlets) The rice and the Keema Nann were also excellent...I just can't fault the food which I had from the Ajanta. I will of course be revisiting there many times in the future.

Been a customer of Ajanta for a few years. Since the refurb we found the food wasn’t the best so we gave it a miss this year. Decided to give it another go and were amazed. Food was hot, tasty and possibly the best Indian we’ve ever had!!! Don’t know what’s changed but wow!

Food is ok, but the wait of nearly 2 hrs spoiled the mood, plus they forgot to deliver popadoms. Wont be using them again which is a shame because it's one of the better (from a food point of view), Indian takeaways.

Called in here when visiting family on recommendation. Looked at the menu and ordered with the request of giving my meal a bit more heat to it. Really good to watch how they prepare and cook the food. Everything was fresh and tasty. Will be revising

We ordered though Just Eat, as made payment online the delivery time suddenly jumped up by 40 minutes to an hour and a half. We waited it was then late, I called and was told our food was sitting there but they didn’t have a driver. I asked when we could expected it they said 20 mins, again it didn’t arrive, they added a further 20 mins and in the end told us it would actually be a further 40 minutes putting the time at close to 3 hours with our food sitting out for an hour! At this we cancelled the order but then had to go through Just Eat to get a refund. Not reliable and I question the quality and standards when food is left sat! They shouldn’t have accepted the order.

Amazing food! Amazing service! I’ve stayed loyal to this take away. Best one I have found.

Sorry but I will never go there 1 hour and half wait and the food was horrible .

Consistently shocking service. Can’t believe I fell for this twice. On both occasions food turned up 45mins late, cold and missing items. Won’t fall for it again! Shocking.

Won't be going back waited 2 hours for food when rang and told them it been 2 hours they said it's ok we will give you some poppadoms absolute joke don't order from here

Food is excellent and staff are great! Can't comment on the quality of any delivery drivers as we always pickup, but for me I couldn't care less how polite some delivery driver is, as long as the food is great!

I have just had an takeaway and my chicken tikka was terrible it was like watered tin of coloured red coconut flavour, tasted of nothing. The yogurt was like water with mint i think? Very poor. Would i recommend or use this takeaway again NO!!!

I have been a customer of Ajanta for over 3 years and like most takeaways food is up and down , I suppose its when you order ???,, i tend to order the same meal its what i like. Now this Saturday i re orderd and had issues,,, poppadoms where soggy not crisp ,, chips not cooked thru,, and my Robi balti zan had an unusual after taste. I hate the fact food is not tested before it leaves , i dont say il have poppadoms and make them soggy,, dont cook the chips !!!!,, it should be good or why bother to order,,, sounds like im rambling but the worse is yet to come !!!,, i rang to ask them to explain why the food was so poor and i was offered little or no explanation ,, so ive had enough i would avoid if you are thinking about an order but they have lost me !!

Haven’t even ate my food yet and I’m leaving a review as the service is terrible, delivery guy was full of insults because it was raining and I had to come downstairs to get to the front door. Won’t order from here again and I advise you do the same

the madras was lovely but the starter lamb tikka was really chewy and not very nice

late no apologies and no food, don't bother not worth it!

Hardly and chicken in curry just sauce. Portions were tiny .

wasn't the best tonight, usually enjoy Ajanta... placed my order at 7:30pm, got given a time of 8:00pm which was moved to 8:15 which was fine, then got moved again to 8:35, and didnt actually arrive until 8:50pm. when food got here the bag was soaking wet almost soggy, food was luke warm and curry was watery. however it was a Saturday Night and they are usually very good just not tonight but I do appreciate Saturdays are very busy :) delivery driver was very nice and I still tipped lol. Thanks :)

Pakoras were a bit soggy but rest of the meal was nice

I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masalla which was delicious. But I did feel the nann bread let it down a little as it tasted store bought.

Absolutely delicious! Great value for money and quick delivery.

ordered food at 6.05pm and delivery time on just eat was 6.55pm. when my food was not here at around 7 I rang the restaurant up to ask where my food was to be told they had to wait for a driver who mwas going to be 15-20 minutes until he returned to the takeaway to collect my order. at half past 7 my food was still not here and I rang again to ask where about my food was to be told that it was on its way and it would be 10 minutes. after waiting even longer i checked my just eat to see if it was on route and it said that my food had been delivered so I rang the restaurant back up to ask why it said that when my food was still not here. they said just eat sometimes do that?? I rang at 7.45pm and to check where my food was as I was told it would be here within 10 minutes and if it wasn't then to ring. back so I rang back half and hour later and he said he's sorry he would ring the driver so I finally got my food at 8pm and it was cold and the order we made was completely wrong in regards to salads and sauces on my wraps. not happy! the way I was spoken to by the man on the phone in the takeaway was completely as if he didn't care about how long I had been waiting.

Food ordered at 9. Came up saying delivery at 10. Delivery didn't turn up although it said delivered. Rang several times to no reply and is now closed. Absolutely awful service. Will not be using again or recommending in the future. I could have ordered from elsewhere if I knew this is what they would do, but now I have to make do with noodles for my tea. If this is how they treat their customers then the sooner they go out of business the better.

called to chase up why so late just told driver has left 20mins ago wonder how long and how cold food will be ????

Watery curry sauce and uncooked naan bread and onion bhajis...poppadoms were soft like they had been cooked hours ago... Never again!

First time order from here. Food arrived on time. it was well packaged and piping hot. The chicken in both curries was very tasty and the curries themselves were freshly prepared and not swimming in grease like some places. Will be ordering again!!

Appalling, having to wait so long. I never knew poppadoms could go stale. Well now I do

Waited over 2 hrs for delivery, delivery time still stayed the same would of waited for food but customer service was appalling

Food was over an hour late and when it arrived it was warm rather than hot and naan bread was burnt. Contacted the restaurant and found the staff to be dismissive about the food being late. It wasn't until I talked about requesting a refund that they seemed to attempt to be helpful. If I wanted average Indian food I'd have gone to the supermarket and bought what I need to make it myself. I can guarantee it wouldn't have taken half as long or cost as much. Would not use again and would recommend that you don't either.

Always amazing amazing tasting meals from Ajanta! We live around 15 minutes away and the food is always still hot when we receive it. Only comment I can make is can sometimes be a bit out with the deli every times but still an amazing place to order from.

food cooked to perfection. my new regular indian

superb service and excellent food!

My food was due to be delivered at 6.45pm, I contacted the restaurant at 7pm and was told it would be delivered in 5 mins. Its now 7.45pm and still no sign of food. I've rang the restaurant and now no reply from the restaurant. Starrving and never ordering from here again. So gutted that I have already paid!!

Fantastic food and delivery! Really pleased with our order every time! Great food! Thanks

Food was really good!! The only let down was that the popadoms where mostly chewy and not crunchy... I think they had got wet somehow. Driver forgot my Coke but then brought it to me and hour later and was full of apologies. I hadn't prompted this and I was impressed that he made the effort.... had many a rouge drink from other take-aways in the past (always seem to forget!)

It was my first time ordering and I wasn't disappointed. The food was delicious, it arrived on time and the staff were very professional. Very pleased... thank you very much 😀

Used to be my favroit place, no more. Tiny slithers of lamb and chicken in the dishes with runny thin sauces! You used to get chunks of meat....well not anymore. Awful !

Delivery was later than said but hot and tasty. Delivery driver was a bit unfriendly

Beautiful food fresh hot will order again

Recommended by a friend. Arrived a little late but worth it. The food was excellent and really hot. Will definitely use again and recommend to others.

Really nice will definitely order again

Gorgeous food, as always - it arrived steaming hot, the samosa's were crispy and yummy and tons of meat in the currys. My favorite take away in Wigan by far!

Sorry the lamb chops where very boney and I woke up this morning with a very dry mouth, usually that's when a restaurant uses to much msg

Always use here good food good service :)

As always gloriously good food, i never go anywhere else for curry! Thank you

Terrible attitude on the phone. The food wasn't too bad but the service spoiled my mood.

Took 1hr 25 mins for food to arrive was not boiling hot just Luke warm one of mains had 4 pieces of meat and was mist expensive

Amazing order again! It came really fast and food is of a great quality! Will be ordering again! Thanks

delivery 30min late. food watery not the best wont be back.

Driver was unapologetic and restaurant didn't know how long driver would be. Ordered food for 5.50pm, restaurant added 30 minutes to time giving estimate time of 6.25pm. Food arrived 20 minutes late at 6.45pm (restaurant said via phone food would be 5mins, waited extra 20mins!!!)

Excellent effort! delivered on time, warm, good portions and tasty!

Best Indian food I have ever had fantastic

Really enjoyed the food. Came quicker than expected

Great tasty fresh food and good service as usual ... thank you

Best Indian we've had in a long time, lots of new things to try and great old favourites too. Good quality and fast delivery, thanks
