The chicken tikka masala wasn’t nice at all, it had an off taste - almost like the cream was off? And it definitely didn’t have any coconut in it.

One of the worst restaurants , this restaurant doesn’t know how to cook Asian food properly, food wasn’t cooked properly , very nasty and disgusting , Waste of money , waste of time I would have go somewhere else , went first time and did not like the whole experience at this restaurant. I won’t recommend this to anyone. Very very poor food and dirty service

Big changes for a small but exceptional businesses. I have totally changed my mind from a review a few years ago and I truly hope this place gets the 4 star review it deserves and in time possibly 5 star. We went as part of a large group around 20 0f us. Everyone agreed the food was divine and catered to each individual palette. Very clean, pristine table cloths and cutlery with a decent weight. The atmosphere was relaxed and we were all made to feel most welcome. I would definitely go back and would retract my previous review. X

Very poor quality, Supposed Balti was absolutely swimming in oil and was tasteless,Also Luke warm, which was unusual as it turned up about 40 minutes early..Ended up binning the full meal, only thing that was ok was the Nan bread.Wifes meal wasn’t any better, tasteless and wasn’t as ordered. Have used these before and was ok, don’t know if they’ve changed Chef or just having a bad day, But for what it cost was a disgrace…

Eaten from here on many occasions but this time disappointing. King prawn starter at nearly £7 and greasy with only 2 small King Prawns. When paying £3 delivery plus surcharge you'd hope at least the portions would be a fair standard. Sadly, I'll think twice about ordering from here next time

I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and it was watery. There was only 6 pieces of chicken tikka in, it was more like soup than it was curry. This is unusual, because the curries or normally spot on from here. I did order it just before closing time so that might have had an effect on the quality of it, I don’t know. I still paid good money for it plus delivery charges and I get watered down curry. No good at all.

In with a group, we know there's a corgage for your own drinks but they also made the small children pay to have their own water. Starters took over an hour and took over 3 hours until the bill was paid. Shocking service, food was average, tried overcharging also. Greed. Wont be going back to eat in or takeout. *EDIT* Against my own promise we gave then a try 2 years later and the takeaway was amazing. So they have redeemed themselves haha. Will use again

Didn’t let me know when it was arriving so can’t really rate that, but it is the most annoying thing; just click the button that says “on the way”. As regards food, for the price it was crazy. How are a few bits of chewy lamb, some stringy dried chicken and a chop even my spaniel said was trash worth 20

Fancied a curry with my brother so popped into Alishaan by the Sea. We were led to our table by a very pleasant young man. We ordered a couple of soft drinks (no alcohol here) some poppadoms starters and mains. The poppadoms were lovely and crisp, not oily at all and the chutney selection was superb with amazing flavours. When the starters arrived we were amazed by the presentation but blown away by the flavours and the tenderness of the meats. The mains were equally tasty and the fluffy garlic Nan was excellent. We couldn’t quite manage to eat everything as the portion sizes were very good but we had a good go as it was too good to leave. Fully recommend this restaurant and would go again. Well done Alishaan for a superb meal.

I can’t review a meal I didn’t have but used to be our go to place. During restaurant week we rang up to book and was asked how long we wanted the table for so this sent out bad vibes immediately thinking they would be wanting us out. So 22 of us got into Babaji without any questions the same evening and no problems there.
