Don’t bother! Staff unable to take a simple order over the phone and then demand you pay for food you didn’t order. Total rip off. This is not the first time and always find the wait for delivery is twice the time you tell you. Food has also gone down hill. Time to try a new Indian takeaway.

Staff friendly, we didn't have to wait long for our order, food was delicious. We had booked a table for 5, we had 1 1/2 hours there then was informed they had another booking for that table. It is a small restaurant but very busy with take away orders which we have also had occasionally, food cooked very well, efficient service.

Ordered food for collection. Arrived at allocated time and had to wait 45 minutes. Returned home, items from order missing. Unable to get through via phone so had to return to restaurant.

I’ve tried several Indians since I moved to Corby several years ago and never found one I really liked. That has now changed. I’ve had a few takeaways and the other night I sat in the restaurant with a friend. The food was excellent, best I’ve had in ages and the service was good too. Very highly recommended.

I only told the gentleman when I got there that I’d made 66 flights to India in 6 years so he had no idea that I would be testing the restaurant. The restaurant was spotless, and despite being in an area of Corby which has been neglected in recent years, the outside was well maintained and spotless too. This is always reassuring, and tells me that Ali’s taking pride in the restaurant’s appearance, hygiene and cleanliness meaning top rate food. In fact, Ali’s is the only restaurant in Corby that has Puris on the menu. The others will make them, but few people ask for these delicious deep fried gram flour roti. Additionally, some places have charged doubled £3.00 each, what Ali’s (£1.50) charges, so this is a pleasant surprise. I had a lamb Dhansak and the meat was tender and very plentiful. My son had a Korma and it was excellent, as was my wife’s chicken tikka. The only very slight, tiny thing was the takeaway was in foil containers and these always leak. However, these were in a very sturdy plastic bag which didn’t leak at all. It’s not enough to stop me going back because the food is the best in the town. I shall be recommending this to my family and friends, and I shall certainly visit when the restaurant opens again. You won’t get better Indian food I the town from a spotlessly clean and friendly restaurant. I highly recommend it.

Exceptionally poor service tonight. Ordered before 1800hrs. Called them at 1920 and were told 15 mins. Still waiting for meal at 2016 hrs with the takeaways phone apparently off the hook. Now making beans on toast and expect a full refund.

Normally we eat here once a month or so, in person. Myself, and my two teenage sons. The current virus situation has made this impossible, so a delivery it was. Food arrived hot, well packaged, and as good as the restaurant food in every way. I know I have said this before; but once again, this is the best restaurant in town.

Decided to use Ali's for the first time after being recommended, WOW absolute fantastic food, the onion bhaji's were as they should be, not flat small things soft in the middle and lacking in task, but tennis ball size full flavour with a kick of chilly, one of the best bhaji I have ever tasted. As for the rest of the food, an absolute flavour explosion!!!. Will defiantly order again! Thank you for the experience.

Arrived 30mins late but I was surprised they were delivering in the snow so bonus points there, could have been proactive in letting us know it would be late though.

I pre ordered my food about 4 hours before it was due to be collected. When I went to collect my order the restaurant had gave my order to someone else! I then had to wait for over half hour for them to redo my order. They gave me an onion bhaji free and apologised for the mix up. It was just very frustrating that when you pre order something and you would expect it to be ready, which it was, but they didn’t check the order details correctly before handing it out to the wrong person. I used just eat so we could pre order the food as we also had another order to collect from somewhere else which was collected before I went to Ali’s. This meant that the other food was freezing cold by the time they rectified there mistake and redone my food. Once we actually got round to eating the food from Ali’s it was really nice it was just very frustrating that it was such a mess up in the first place.

New to the Corby area, working my way through the local Indians to find myself a winner. Safe to say Ali's wasn't even on the short list. Order extended by 10 minutes, arrived 15 minutes after that. Ordered the Lamb Bhuna and it was mediocre. Ordered a garlic and cheese naan, now I think at some point the Naan bread might have sat near some cheese and garlic in the kitchen but that's as close as it got. So plain naan it was. Maybe they had an off day, maybe I'm just picky but at £15 for rice, curry, naan and a crappy side dish I can afford to be. Wasn't terrible just average.
