Ali's Indian Restaurant in East Lindsey

This Indian is honestly the best takeaway I've ever had in the 8 years I've been in carlisle. I'm usually a korma girl but they have a wide selection of mild dishes so I've started ordering random dishes and I've no complaints. Delivers on time and polite on the phone. The dishes with cheese are amazing. The starters are tasty and mild. Just like it says on the menu. Salad is fresh and you get enough sauce to compliment dish. A taxi driver gave me the menu. Thank you Mr taxi driver

Fabulous food, great quality and plentiful.

Had takeaway weekend and to say it was exceptional is an understatement...i had chicken Tikka bhuna Madras hot....which i would recommend....TRUELY amazing flavour and tasted beautiful ...Alis Restaurant always provides amazing food...thoroughly recommend

Amazing - lovely food Great quality and amazing choice and flavours Would order again Good value for money All the family loved

WOW!!! Was a bit dubious because of the journey by OMG was amazing was piping hot and the taste was AMAZING 😁 we had our usual… onion baghi was out this world and same with mixed grill. Mains tasty as… recommend 100% can’t wait for next month take out treat as be back here in a heart beat

Very nice food, always takes a while to deliver on a Saturday and not too long to wait. I would use again.

we are staying a way out of town so not upset that delivery was slightly layer than expected on a Saturday night. food was brilliant and enjoyed by everyone - well worth the wait

Ordered a set meal for two through the Grimsby and Cleethorpes Eats app. The food we did receive was nice, but the nan and poppadoms which were listed as being included were missing from our order when we received our delivery.

Don't order if you're not a fan of super rice or super noodles. Food was not tasty at all. The "special" rice and noodles were horrid and tasteless and nothing special about them apart from a few added peas. Meat was chewy and tasteless in lamb curry. Wouldnt waste money on this take away again.....

The chips were not cooked properly with some being hard inside, others tasted like they had been reheated. The Pakora was tough and tasted like tough chicken in batter with no spices. The Bhaji's were flat and swimming in oil, again tasteless. Both curries were just bland and again over cooked chicken. We ate the mushroom rice the rest put in bin!!! £41.25 NOT well spent, lesson learned, will never order from there again.

Delicious food ! We love Ali’s !

Always tasty and fresh and they always read the notes we cannot complain the price has increased which is the only disappointing thing other than that it’s quality food and service

Last time we tried this restaurant in 2022(really a takeaway) min spend was £15 in order to use contactless . It’s now £20 min card payments. Went to order and cost £18.95 . Pulled out cash card only to be told machine broken. Again I feel this is to avoid paying UK Taxes. Ok to the food … it’s not the best Indian we have had and not the cheapest. Chicken Tikka Balti was a bit bland and chips slightly greasy . We shared a set meal for one and will probably not use this again. Far better Indian takeaways in Scartho ( which take card payments)

We ordered 2 starters onion bhaji, and lamb tikka, 1 nan bread, 1 chips, 1 chapati, 1 chichen tikka massalla, 1 mixed tandoori, cost £40.05, chips shocking , raw, onion bhaji shocking raw, nan OK ish, chapati actually nice, mixed tandoori dry, chicken tikka massalla mediocre, but was put off eating it because of the other parts of the order were raw. Definitely will not order from there again, they don't seem to care about their takeaway new customers.

Chicken was pink and slimy in the korma and the naan breads were soggy

Just had a takeaway from Alis restaurant , i have to say its the best indian meal i have ever had...it was delicious , it was so tasty ...i was also very impressed with cleanliness and hygiene within the restaurant and politeness of staff...thoroughly recommend and can not wait for my next meal from there

Waited to find a indian with quality food in cleethorpes and hit the jackpot here food amazing service just brilliant top communication on phone even down to how i would like my chicken Tika cooked , just fantastic This will deffintley be our go to india in cleethorpes from now on

Fantastic as always - Delivery time was great and very friendly driver thanks

It was a Takeaway I ate at home, but the atmosphere here is always great

Amazing customer service, staff are brilliant at informing prices and selections of food! Lovely environment, and great food!

food very tasty quick delivery great service

I ordered on Saturday and there was a lovely girl on the phone who was patient with me while I was struggling to decide what to get. The food was amazing and I will go again soon.

absolutely amazing, the food was piping hot. chicken was nice a soft. and plenty of food for 2. we ordered the banquet for 2. definitely recommend. and the lady delivery driver was very polite and nice 😁😁

Beautiful very tasty and good value for money

Fantastic! Food was delicious, hot on arrival and large portions, definitely going to be our new regular Indian takeout!

Food was beautiful, incredible flavour and brilliant quality

The food wasn’t up to the standard I was expecting. My main was tasteless, the fried noodles tasted disgusting, the naan bread was tough and incredibly oniony, and the vegetable samosas had massive, overpowering chunks of pineapple in. There wasn’t one redeeming item in the whole meal, I was really disappointed

Food is always fantastic comes hot, on time and delicious! Cannot recommend enough.

Exceptional food and service, price was very reasonable. Well done 😁😁 Highly recommend and thanks to all in Ali’s Indian Restaurant for making our trip memorable xxxxx

Although this was early it was not a problem. The food was hot and very tasty , one of the best I've had for a while, would definitely order again and recommend.

Got home had starter then took the mains out of bag and found they had not put the rice in that we had ordered and paid for to late to go back as had a beer by then spoilt the meal my advice if you collect check before you leave.

Food was cold when delivered and waited over two hours from ordering to receiving food.

Great food every time, the banquet for 2 is great value for money.

Nans soggy. Lovely driver completely fine that she was late , difficult house to find x thank you x

Really nice food and quick delivery

Slightly early on delivery which was good, and the food was dead nice.

Food was lovely although not very hot. couple of items missing but was such a big order and didn't want to wait for more items. overall satisfied and would probably use again.

very late lied to on the phone

Beautiful food as always! Arrived in good time and hot. My favourite Indian restaurant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nothing special. Ordered from every other Indian in this town, so gave this one a go. Desi chicken is just a Korma with extra sugar. Couldn’t eat it as it was too sweet. The Balti was bland and the cheesy chicken starter wasn’t even spicy. 3/10.

First time ordering. Lovely meal, wrong item was sorted straight away. Onion bhajis were particularly good 👌🏼 Excellent service and great food. Would definitely use again and now also want to try dining in. 5* :)

Awful greasy mine went in the bin 😕

Always optimistic about trying takeaways we’re not used to, but I’ve heard a few people mention Ali’s so thought would we would give it a try and WOW it didn’t disappoint. Tasted amazing, delivery was quick, will definitely order again and take a trip to visit the restaurant.

I have not revived my food at all! I’ve been stud still at my door for 25 mins and there no food to arrive ? Yet it says it’s been delivered is this a joke ? this is not professional at all I paid £34 for food that’s not arrived at all this is a joke I want a full refund pleaee as I will never be ordering from there again!.

The delivery driver was lovely, the food hot and tasted gorgeous, lots of sauce, which we love, I would highly recommend x

Food was hot and good portion size. Almost everything was delicious but the chips were a bit old and stale. Food was delivered on time. Would definitely order again

First time I've been back to Ali, since it has reopened. Was not disappointed at all, had a banquet meal for one with my daughter. It was absolutely amazing, will definitely be reordering a takeaway again from there without hesitation

Had takeaway last night was on holiday at laceby manor lodges. The phone signal on site is very hit and miss and so many lodges had trouble with other takeaways hands difficulties finding us but deliver driver followed our instructions and she delivered direct to the door no problem with pipping hot amazing food. Absolutely delicious just wish we was local! But we are back over Christmas and will definitely order again. Thank you x

Delicious food and delivered earlier than expected.... very happy customer :D

Absolutely top notch, hot, delicious, beautiful......

Sometimes with an Indian takeaway everything has a similar flavour. This food was the complete opposite. Every dish had its own distinctive taste and it was so beautifully cooked. I'm very impressed.

Delivery was quick, food was hot on arrival. Nice food, however the noodles where just super noodles and didn’t taste great.

We decide to have a takeaway from here last week and I would have to say it’s the best Indian takeaway and restaurant in Louth. The dish I had was a Pathia that I’d never had before and it was just the right amount of heat and the flavour was amazing. I would definitely recommend eating here.

It was undercooked and awful!! Never again !!!!!

All round great, tasty food and even though I live fairly far from the restaurant the food is always nice and hot. Great service and great food.

Food was lovely but I was really disappointed that my rice was missing, especially as if paid extra for special rice instead of standard.

Arrived earlier than the recommended time on the app. Piping hot, lovely food, Couldn't ask for more. Thank you.

Very nice food. Missing items ordered....restaurant followed up with missing food 30mins later, which was appreciated, but put a downer on our meal

Ordered a few times, never had a problem, lamb pasanda is to die for 100% recommended

Food is very tasty & fresh, always arrives hot and the Banquet for 2 is an absolute bargain will never eat from any other take away

The order was perfect, all the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

Poppadom ok but didn't eat all. Naan bread ok but didn't eat all. Madras and boiled rice smelt and taste vile. Won't be ordering again. Refund requested!

Fantastic food, always arrives hot and tastes amazing, portion sizes are huge. My absolute favourite Indian restaurant ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best Indian delivery we have had in a long time, everything travelled well and tasted lovely, arrived hot and on time and all the dishes were so full of flavour and the amount you get in the banquet was unbelievable

1750hrs delivery arrived at 1845

Wow best indian in a long time!

Im always happy with my takeaway The chicken Ceylon is spot on, very tasty and mouth watering.

Order was delivered to wrong person and we struggled to get it from

Best Indian I've had in a long time.

Food was beautiful. Delivered on time. Lovely and warm. Perfect. Highly recommended.

Beautiful. Hot food. Perfect level of spice. No complaints. Would order again

Late delivery but that was the only thing. Smartly dressed delivery man did apologise. Food typical Ali’s - good quality, plenty of it and slightly more spicy than normal, which we like. Definitely buy again

First time trying here & wasn’t disappointed. Food was delivered nice and hot and exactly as ordered. Spot on

When we arrived at this 'restaurant' we found it was just a takeaway. There were a few tables and chairs stacked against a wall. The gentleman there said no restaurant. Disappointed and curious after reading reviews. We ate in Cleethorpes instead.

Am stopping in Cleethorpes over night and i read the reviews and thought i would take the short drive out to try. I did the right thing. This place is well worth the visit, as another reviewer noted this isn't another run of the mill indian takeaway. I had the takeaway set menu for 1. There was enough here for 2. I wasnt sure what to order for my main and after discussing the options said i liked a dry dish and they came up with a meal that was perfect. I strongly recommend Ali's and will definitely call again when I'm next in the area.

Just been and picked up a fabulous takeaway. First rate meal would highly recommend. Dansak was beautiful. Made very welcome by the friendly young on reception.

We were so pleased that Ali’s opened again having heard nothing but good things about it from all the locals and Sara the plumber. With some trepidation we decided on a takeaway and fully prepared to be served up with the usual generic similar tasting bulk food. We were wrong. Having worked with people from the subcontinent all my working life I can be a bit picky, but the food and prompt takeaway collection was outstanding, with generous, well cooked, tender portions. Looking forward to next time

Ali's has always been our go-to for indian meals, we are so delighted it has re-opened. Takeaways are always delicious and our most recent a week ago was no different, keep up the good work

Unable to use card payment unless they rounded up to £15 . It's only 5p but come on . Didn't offer to give the 5p back in cash. Must spend min £15 . In this day and age it should not matter .

Spot on again guys. We're so pleased you're back. Best Madras in town . Enam is cooking up a storm. Many thanks

Hi We had two meal for 2 deals last night. After waiting so long for you to reopen we were excited. Unfortunately the excitement was ruined. The bhajis were over cooked inedible. The naan was over cooked and hard. Bhuna was bland and tasteless along with the pilau rice. Masala was bland Along with other two dishes. Disappointed after paying over £50 Your reply I’m sorry you feel food was not up to scratch. This is the only complaint we have had since we reopened.

We ordered a takeaway from Alis last night after hearing it was back open and it did not disappoint! The food was fantastic & the service lovely as always - the best Indian around by far! So pleased you're back & we will be ordering again soon!

So so so happy that this amazing Indian is back open again! Absolutely fantastic food 😋 cannot recommend enough. You won't be disappointed!

i have just eaten a chicken tikka bhuna madras hot from ali:s indian takeaway...i must say it was delicious...the taste was sooo full of flavour from the spices ....the meals from Ali *s never let you down

We moved to the area 6 months ago and obviously checked out the local dining. We couldn’t believe our luck, the local Indian was well respected, so happy days (or so we thought). We arrived during lockdown and tried Ali’s on our first night and I thought it was okay. I’ve subsequently made my way through the ‘spicy signature dishes’ and found that consistency and customer service is not something Ali cares about. I’ve come to the conclusion that Ali only cares about profit and the bottom line. We had some friends to stay (recently) and the meal ‘chicken dancing Dansak’, ‘lamb dancing Dansak’, ‘South Indian garlic chicken’ and a chicken jalfrezi. The lamb was very tender and the sauce was tasty. The chicken version was no where near as tasty and the other two dishes were passable. Passable is what Ali offers 95% of the time. Living in a village, you can live with passable when the restaurant is around the corner. We decided tonight to try Ali’s once again. So I had the dancing lamb, keema rice, a chicken tikka and a portion of chips. We ordered over the phone and arranged a pick up time. I arrived promptly to collect and as I walked into the restaurant I noticed that they had just had a delivery. I then realised why Ali’s curry’s tasted familiar and boring. There were numerous large jars of PATAKS catering sauce amongst the rest of the delivery. Now, I don’t have a problem with PATAKS, however when I get a takeaway I’d prefer something more authentic. Anyway onto tonight’s meal. I’ll be brief, the tikka lamb was tough as shoe leather and inedible, the sauce was tasteless and stodgy. The chicken tikka was cold as were the chips. It was then that I thought for the first time, I would ring and complain. I was ou through to Ali and he wasn’t interested. He said next time he would do better. I told him that I’d bring it back and get a refund. He told me that I probably had eaten most of it and he would not refund. I told him that if he had served that to me in his restaurant, I would not have paid and that I wanted a refund, he refused. So I packaged the uneaten food into its containers and returned to the restaurant. I spoke to Ali and he refused to refund me the £20.15. I left the bag with him as I have enough rubbish in my bin already. Ali only cares about making money and not about his customers. His attitude left a lot to be desired. I personally will never spend another penny in his restaurant or the sister restaurant ‘Asha’i n Louth.

We have been using this restaurant for quite a long time now, but we were amazed at the change in the quality of the food. Ordered takeaway tonight and the change in quality is amazing, Ali's used to be one of the best in the area, but today was an absolute disaster. The pasanda was massively sweet and tasted more of coconut than almond!, and the naga, I don't believe had ever seen a naga chilli (I have grown and eaten some of the world's hottest chillies) although only a guess, but using ultra hot sauce to heat up a curry does not work! Yes it's hot,but the flavour is gone! Won't be using again, total waste of money

Just finished another fantistic meal. Whatever I choose off the menu it never fails to impress me. Always very tasty and to whatever strength I ask for.The staff are always very friendly and always have time to help.Thoroughly recomend Ali's for a tasty meal.

Recently had the banquet for two,first time since lockdown began. Still spot on just as I remembered,everything was piping hot and cooked to perfection.Definatly will not be a year to the next one,great food and plenty of it.

We have ordered and collected from Ali's throughout lockdown, having been regular visitors to the restaurant in normal times. I really can't understand the negative reviews I've read, except that two come from the same person. If it was that bad, why go again! Anyway, back to our review which, once again, is 5 stars. We ordered over the phone and twice Ali himself took our order. The young ladies who took our order the other times were always polite and checked they had everything correct. We opted for collection as we only live a few minutes away. Both our meals, on every occasion, have been excellent. One thing that is really useful is that the strength of any meal can be adjusted by the chef if you ask. Can't wait to be able to sit inside the restaurant again.

Very good food friendly polite staff

Appalling pretentious service, utterly ridiculous prices for something that does not measure up!, not to be repeated

Delivery took ages food was creamy and warm not hot no steam or nothing. Really reflects on the quality of service too the way I was spoken to on the phone.

During Covid and lack of deliveries of stock.. the banquet for 2 had ceased.. bit it's back now!Excellent staff answer the phone quickly and politely. Really friendly and there is no rush.Opted for delivery. Busy day.. so took about an hour and a half.. but was told this on the phone.. so no problem. Delivery guy friendly and cheerful.. and the food arrived piping hot/fresh.Starters. Shamie Kebab and Mixed Kebab. Both hot and colourful. Served with fresh mint sauce and a salad. Very filling!Curries as usual.. flavoursome and rich.. with delicate spices and herbs bringing out unique flavours. The butter chicken had a thick sauce and a creamy, buttery flavour. The Jal was hot, spicy and the green chillies/peppers in it really gave it a fresh and exciting flavour/bite. The fruity, nutty rice... was amazing. Light, fluffy and really tasty.Naan bread (onion and garlic) superb.. although I still heat it through in the oven at home to crisp it up a bit! (The foil bag always let's it sweat a bit! Lol)Side dish of potatoes made this a meal for 4 not 2! Still the number one Indian in our area. Honest, fresh, quality and the staff are second to none.I continue to fully recommend this takeaway.

I'll start by saying the food itself is nice, you can't fault them on that, not the best I've ever had but a solid 7 out of 10. The problem here is they are useless if you order out. After tonight I've now lost count of the amount of times they've missed something off an order. The best bit is you have the option of waiting an hour to redeliver the missing bits or you can drive all the way back for them to replace it with not even a 'seeing as we messed up here's a free poppadom to cover your petrol'. With regret won't be using again!

We decided to visit as our first trip out after lock down. Was very impressed with sevice,food and new social distanting rules. Well done we will be back. Thank you for making us feel safe.

Best Indian food I've had for a very long time, you can taste the difference between the use of authentic ingredients to create heat in the dish too simply adding chilli powder like many others do. Excellent you have a new delighted customer.

Just ordered a takeaway from this very popular Indian restaurant, absolutely delicious, this has got to be the best Indian food in Lincolnshire cooked to perfection. Staff are so polite and friendly. Thanks guys will definitely be back. Good luck post Covid

Curry was okay not much better than a microwave meal though, wasnt supplemented very well either as my Nan breads were cold and popadoms were missing...

After debating which Indian takeaway to try for a birthday treat I was recommended Ali's .Telephone ordering was quick efficient and food arrived earlier than quoted.Their was a good selection of dips to try from the pickle tray and the mini mix starter got favourable comments .Although the 2 chicken chats we ordered had decent quantities they were quite bland.For mains the lamb balti was tasty but the 2 chicken madras's were not very nice and both tasted of burnt garlic , which was disappointing. Rice dishes were quite oily but tasty.Overall experience was spoilt by the burnt madras dishes so unfortunately won't be using Ali's again.

Best lamb biriani iv ever had thank you
