I am so disappointed with how downhill this place has gone. I used to enjoy their food. The Lamb Bombay had 4 cubes of lamb in there. Not enough for 2 people. I got 2 diff types of curries. Ofcourse the chicken karahi wasn’t made in a karahi. Both curries with the same gravy. I also added instructions for all the dishes to be made spicy and hot. No instructions were followed. Really upset

What do I say about Albella! The Lamb Tikka biryani with a helping of vegetable curry accompanying it on the side with raita has to be the best tasting! Luckily this place is local to us but it is truly a hidden gem! The food is amazing whether in or taken away and even the portions are very good! Highly recommended.

My family have been having food from this takeaway for years. I'm now 35 and remember them ordering from when I was very young and I continue to do the same. Food is exceptional. Never had a bad order ever. My partner loves it too and his extremely fussy about his curries. The tarka daal is my absolute favourite! Really is beautiful food and if they aren't open when we are having a takeaway day then we just don't order out come pots and pans lol

Very friendly and helpful staff make u feel like ur eating at home and I always get a "Doggy Bag" as I never seem able 2 eat it all and next day warm it up and its even better.

Called to report item missing, stated ' we are closed will give next time'. Poor customer service, you should make sure you provide all food when you deliver, clearly you didn't check because you was rushing to close! Will not order from here. The tandoori biryani was very poor tasting, gave dark pieces of chicken tandoori that nobody eats and it was more rice than chicken, again this was rushed. Food was waste of money

Absolutely fantastic food. Polite delivery driver and came piping hot. I'm quite local to this place and it always skipped my mind when ordering. But this place is a gem 💎. The food was exceptional. Spices were cooked out well and the food was full of taste. I had the vindaloo (chicken) and it's one of the best I've had in a very very long time. The chef's special sigdi was full of flavour and bursting with contrast with each mouthful from a little sweet at first taste, but then to a little spicy. The starter chapati roll was so tasty and there was plenty of chicken in everything. Can't wait to order again. Fantastic food done well and in this cost of living crisis, extremely well price with exceptional service. A true delight to the taste buds.
