Alishan in Tonbridge and Malling

Lovely food. Rubbish service given it took 90 minutes to receive food. The attitude at paying the bill was unbelievable. The young guy behind the bar needs a few lessons in customer service!! Go elsewhere as there are other choices Indi18 for one.

What a shocking fall from grace. I have recently moved back to the area and Alishan was my go to Indian from age 18, I’m now 41. I decided to get a takeaway and my god, I now wish I hadn’t. Order kali mirch methiwala murgh - pure salt, no hint of fenugreek, just a horrible base curry sauce (totally inedible) Onion bhaji, completely soggy not a ball, just strips of batter which didn’t have the spice flavour I’m used to from other restaurants. (Inedible) Vegetable Dhansak - not sweetness or sour, again pure salt (not a hard dish to do well) Popadoms were acceptable as were the chutneys. Garlic naan was average. I like them to be a little crispy. This could be personal preference though. I called the Alishan to complain and was told I’d get a discount next time. No offer to refund any or at least part of the bill. This would have been appreciated. I won’t be returning again. I did ask if the chef had changed and was told no. I simply don’t believe this. I can cook better this and do. A very sad experience.

After going out for three curry’s in nine days, we left the best until last. Five of us were for my sons birthday, booking was easy over the phone, service was excellent, food was delicious. Already planning a return trip. Massive shame there were not more people in there, their food deserves a bigger audience.

I visited the restaurant with some friends and was initially concerned that the place was empty at 9pm on a Tuesday night. I needn’t have worried. It was lovely food, excellent service with the best keema naan I have ever tasted !!

The curries at Alishan were exceptional. To me, their curry was a revelation. Of note was the Alishan Special that, believe me, had an incredible depth of flavour. Sadly no more. It seems likely that there has been a change of chef in the kitchen and the quality has drastically suffered. This was my curryhouse of choice but after several disapppintingly bland meals I wont be going there again and dear reader, believe me when I write that while they were worthy of using the moniker 'award winning curry', that time has passed and to continue to peddle that line leaves one feeling cheated and not a little embarrassed for the establishment that was once so very good.

Visiting in a Saturday after the first payday since Christmas, it became very busy and we were politely asked to vacate the table after we’d paid. I didn’t mind that. But the food was rather bland. I don’t mean lacking in heat - I don’t measure my masculinity in terms of the Scoville Scale - just devoid of much flavour. I ordered the Alishan Special from the ‘Connoisseurs Choice’ menu. It was very bland. My wife had a different dish, but it tasted identical. Our tarka dhal and saag bhaji were also tasteless. Our son’s CTM was very good - you could actually taste the coconut and almonds. Although it’s menu description is oxymoronic: “Invented by a world famous but unknown British Curry House the early 70’s.” The bill came in an American Express folder. They don’t take American Express.

Booked a table for 10 at Alishan last night. I had never been to the restaurant before so it’s a great new find and we will definitively book again. The service was delightful, the food was absolutely so delicious, which everyone commented upon … the nicest curry I’ve had in a very long time. I thought the restaurant was warm and cosy and it had a lovely atmosphere. Thank you for looking after us so well.

Good restaurant with clean facilities and interesting menu the staff were attentive and obliging. Thanks for the good food and beer much appreciated

This is a really good restaurant and the choice of dishes gives you plenty to try, really un-intrusive service

First restaurant we've visited since the end of the lockdown and it's as good as ever. Told the waiter that if I had room I'd quite easily eat the same again. Had to apologise to the missus for all of the contented sighs after each mouthful. Good vegetarian options, including last night's Sabji Mandi and Vegatble Korma. Well set with screens between tables and all staff wearing masks.

Food was nice but it is far too expensive for a takeaway! £10.95 for chicken, King Prawn £14.95! These are restaurant prices and even then that would be considered pricey! Double the price of a Chinese takeaway!

over ten years we've used this restaurant less and less. It has been great but that was a long time ago. Last couple of tries have been really bad. This time my keema naan was inedible, the sauce on my pathia was watery and the chicken hard and rubbery, maybe previously frozen? The butter chicken was much closer to a passandra and way to sweet even for my son. not sure they care anymore.

Me and my partner love this restaurant, the food is amazing and the service is great. Very well decorated. Was stung by the £1.50 per Poppadom when the bill came out they were stale as well but we didn't say anything due to them normally being cheap and just something to start you off. Did query it when the bill came but they defended their decision to charge this amount for them. It seems like a con because everything else is reasonably priced and they know these are always ordered when a visit is had. Thought I would put this review out to warn anyone else visiting.

Whether you visit in person or opt for a take away, you will not be disappointed. Great service, bit more expensive for take away than others but worth paying a little more, you definitely get what you pay for. My 7 year old son has only recently been introduced to Indian food and agrees Alishan is the best.

This is the best Indian in tonbridge as the staff are great and the taste of the food is brilliant. keep up the good work.

Brilliant to have Indian takeaway during this lockdown and the food tasted great and arrived early. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for Indian food.

Alishan deserves the recognition... They have offered 50% discount for the NHS as their contribution to the community. My family ordered masala b-q prawns, Jhinga TIL tinka followed by the yummy onion bhajis. As for our mains, we’ve ordered Grilled Sea Bass, King Prawns Achari but requested a bit spicy.. also ordered railway lamb .. ohh my hubby said it’s the best.. together with pilau and vegetable rice. Poppodums are crispy with the dips.. Thank you Alishan Restaurant for the delicious meal. can’t wait for our next deli every!!

Fantastic take away tonight, and as I work for NHS a generous 50% discount,really enjoyed the meal and very prompt delivery,we will recommend to our friends

Delivery or eat in quality just the same great Indian restaurant sophisticated menu excellent quality always brilliant service and great staff , would highly recommend it’s the best Indian in Tonbridge no question , give it a try you won’t regret it

Super!King Prawn Dhansak was deliciousBest Indian food in the area.Delivery was prompt and good value

I usually eat in at the Alishan, but decided to pick up a takeaway for the family during "the lockdown". After a very friendly order taken by phone we turned up to be greeted like lost friends. The food was ready so home it went and wow. Great sized portions, perfectly spiced and lots of meat in the meat dishes (unlike some other places I have been recently). My children have already requested a return visit. We will be back to dine in when we are able. Thanks!!!

I ate at this restaurant tonight 24/2/20 the staff were so friendly and attentive the food was amazing had a madras vindaloo hot with bombay potato and chilli cheese nann. Food was piping hot and restaurant was clean with nice atmosphere will be definitely going back A*

We dined as a family of five last night and were so impressed by the quality of the food. It was perfectly cooked, beautiful flavours and just great taste in general. The price is reasonable and it is located bang in the centre of Tonbridge. The staff are friendly and quick to take your order and the food is prepared in good time. There are many Indian restaurants in the Tonbridge area and the Alishan is by far the best. There is much competition for example the Tumeric Gold is Tudely. The food is better at the Alishan and the atmosphere is a lot calmer. and it is a hidden gem in the community. A real secret between the locals. I would highly recommend coming here and you will not be disappointed.

They did not deliver I called to see where my food was they were Rude and told me they diet care if my food was late or if I ordered again as I am not important to them ( a customer not important) I will never give these people my money again

Had meal this evening with my wife all good spoiled by watching member of kitchen staff coming out of kitchen and urinating in rear car park Have used this restaurant many times but never again

This is an excellent curry house with delicious food and top service every time. Highly recommended!

This is definitely the place to go for a great curry in Tonbridge. I’m now officially a regular as I’ve been so many times, trying to work my way through the menu, with favourites such as Dum Gost & butter chicken which melt in the mouth. The peswari & the chilli cheese naans are the best I’ve eaten. Always great friendly service, we are looking forward to returning.

Nice service. Look after children well

The service was excellent, discreet but very attentive. And most importantly the cuisine is excellent. Very good value for money. Very good indeed

Family meal to celebrate 70th birthday. Pleasant staff. Fresh white table linen Good service with all our dishes arriving together. Extensive menu at reasonable prices.

Really love this place - always have a great meal & look forward to eating here. Staff are so friendly & welcoming - with special thanks to Bernard & Daniella for consistently looking after us so well. Highly recommend the Alishan special chicken dish & chicken chettinad. Chilli & cheese Nans are also a top favourite. Really relaxed & enjoyable meal, highly recommend. Fantastic value for money too!

We have never really noticed this restaurant. I am so glad we went in as we were over that way and fancied a curry. It was the best curry I have ever had. I had the cream and basil chicken and my partner had the railway lamb. Serious amount of food, absolutely brimming with taste and so fresh! To top that it was quick but not so quick you felt they were rushing you. We had the loveliest little waiter who was so attentive and explained some dishes to me and a really sweet young girl! We will be back and be telling our friends! Thank you for a lovely meal, compliments to the chef!

Superb curry, super awesome service, favourite is the alishan special or the chicken naga! We'll be back soon!

Superb food as always. Alishan Barbeque and the spiced monk fish highly recommended.. accompanied by Taka dhal sag paneer with garlic and coriander naan.. Simply moorish...

Tried a vegetarian option on Saturday, very good. Also ordered a side that came in a peanut based sauce and the waiter asked us to confirm that we had no nut allergies before ordering it, so thumbs up for an attentive waiter.

High quality food and reasonable prices make the Alishan one of the best restaurants in Tonbridge. The food is fresh and delicious and the service is excellent. Very happy to recommend

Situated at the top of Tonbridge High St. this restaurant offers a wide menu and some original choices. The service is good and so is the quality of the food. We love it

Visited for the first time on a Friday evening. We didn’t book but were able to get a really good table! The staff were really attentive and friendly. Food came out in good time and was delicious. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Yummy! Visited with friends from the area, first time for Indian food, it was so delicious! The staff was so nice and friendly! Would highly recommend!

Recommended by friends and booked a table -do this well in advance as it is very popular. Only a few tables occupied when we arrived but by the time we had ordered a drink the place was full. Service was excellent as was the food.

Popped in with a mate on the off chance they had a free table on a Friday. Luckily we were there just before it started to fill up. Met by very friendly staff and thet were attentive throughout our meal. Food choices were ample and we weren't rushed in making our order, enjoying the normal poppadum and dips whilst perusing the menu.

Ordered our usuals ... masala b-que prawns, tandoori smoked duck, Alishan b-que feast and poppodoms with condiments. For mains spiced monkfish , tawa duck and chicken chettinad... what can I say??? to perfection.. tasty and delicious.. Alishan won’t be there for 20years if they’re food is not to it’s best..

Ordered a take away, very over cooked chicken tasted like sawdust. Sauce was the same in both curries. Been eating there for 10 years, no more...

We ordered a couple of starters which we shared - chicken tikka and lamb sheek gilafi, followed by spiced monkfish (my friend loved it), Kalimirch Aur Methiwalla Murgh (chicken in fenugreek masala), Tarka Dhal and Chapatis. Everything was delicious and despite having had enough to eat, I kept going back for more. The waiter was very friendly and helpful giving us suggestions and advice. Restaurant was quiet but it was a Monday evening. I hadn't eaten here for years but will definitely return again soon.

Always a little odd eating out alone, and like many places the lone diner is hidden in a discreet corner. But it kind of makes sense.

Met with the girls again. Ordered our usual Masala B-Q Prawns, Alishan Barbecue Feast to share and the moorish onion bhaji. As for the mains we ordered Spiced Monkfish in coconut sauce, Tawa Duck and Jhinga Zaffrani. Of course the meal will not be complete without the popodums ..

Had a fantastic meal at Alishan last night the service was amazing and the food we was served tasted even better . The staff are friendly and happy to help. The food was piping hot and came out in next to no time . It was the best Indian we had tasted and can not wait to book up again.

Ordered fish pakora for my starters, mouth watering Jhinga Zaffrani- Jumbo Prawns marinated in spices with a distinct flavour. Accompanied by mashed aubergine that gives a special taste.

Went there with my family and was surprised at how friendly the staff were. Also the food came out in a reasonable time and tasted fantastic. Would highly recommend

I've been to places and never expected that seabass could taste so delectably delicious. It's grilled which I love but there is a distinct taste which sets it apart. Definitely, my fav and will go back. Love the ambiance of the place and the staff were all so warm and friendly. I commend them for their exemplified service. Two thumbs up!!!

Disappointing visit and was expecting much more.

When I say that this place is unremarkable, it is meant as a compliment. All too often the typical Indian restaurant is a let down - dodgy meat, limp poppadoms, watery chutneys, horrible bathrooms, etc. The food at Alishan is good - not spectacular, but very nice. Poppadoms and breads seem fresh, service is unobtrusive and efficient. Prices are good - currently they seem to be offering 20% off (possibly just food), so a substantial meal, with four large Cobras for four men last Saturday night cost about £75.

Nice restaurant with a good menu, plenty of dishes that you don’t see in most Indian restaurants. Service was good , no complaints here. If you like Indian food give it a try.

Have being going to Alishan for years and I can't remember a bad experience. The staff are welcoming and friendly and the food is amazing. I truly believe the onion bhajis are the best I've ever tasted. Would thoroughly recommend it to everyone

Had a meal with friends, the food was very nice. Our friend is very awkward with food requirements because she is vegan.

We use it mainly for take away, which is excellent. Friendly place with some unusual and interesting menu choices. Highly recommended.

We walked in with out booking a table and was greeted with smiling, welcoming faces, amazing service and good humour.

Popped in on the stroke of 11pm for a late dinner (expecting to be turned away!) was welcomed in and had a thoroughly nice meal there Was a lot of choice but I had my favourite chicken tikka masala. We all had a good time and it was a reasonable price although they were doing 20% off in August.

Decided to tryout a local 'south asian' on Friday 1st Sept, we made a booking for 18:30 and turned up as scheduled (2 adults and 3 kids; ages 10, 5, 3).

We popped in on a Saturday night with no reservation and the place was very busy. However they found us a table within 5 minutes. Although the place was busy we did not feel overlooked by the waiting staff but were not rushed to order or finish up and leave.

Always friendly, welcoming and reliable. A few unusual dishes alongside the regulars. Twenty years in business speaks for itself - it won't excite but it won't let you down.

So dear Reader, I succombed to social media advertising and booked a table for 3 at the Alishan Restaurant in Tonbridge. According to their website, we were going to be treated to an award winning experience which is not only the best in Tonbridge but in Kent generally! Wow! Can't wait! I am a firm believer in the "under-promise-over-deliver" model and to let the service and products do the talking. So, does the Alishan Restaurant live up to its website hype? The food is cooked by an obviously talented chef who is also well aquainted with the history of India's cuisine. Even the classic westernised dishes which have their roots firmly in Britain are cooked and presented as if they were recipes dating back centuries! The decor is modern and designed in such a way that table conversations can be held without disturbing the neighbours. Always an advantage and one that other restaurants seem to sadly lack. The wine list is well considered and also caters for most tastes and budgets. So, does it live up to it’s hype? It's very good but I leave that verdict to you dear Reader!

Been twice for take away. Been disappointed twice. Picked up my order and walked 3 minutes home. Food was cold. It was cooked as I was waiting in the restaurant for it. Everything was cold. Peshwari naan had a tiny blob of pashwari in it. Korma tasted dreadful. Watery chicken tikka main, hoping I feel okay tomorrow. They forgot the salad that comes with the tikka AND the extra salad which I paid for. Plain naan was nice and fluffy but cold.

Fantastic meal here last night, a bit more special than the average curry. Enjoyed their version of onion Bahji much more than the usual stodgy ball. South Indian chilli chicken delightful with just the fire I wanted, fragrant rice and amazing naan.Friendly and attentive service too. The 20% off in August made this extra great value. Can't wait to go back again. Thanks Alishan

Good Indian food, attentive staff, recommended. We went on a Wednesday night and the restaurant was very quiet, with just 4 or 5 other diners. The menu is very comprehensive and the food very tasty, but there was no 'spark' to make it out of the ordinary.

A surprise ejection from the Premier Inn saw me in Tonbridge town centre looking for food. This was close to my hotel and reviews looked favourable. Ambience pleasant and welcoming staff. Loved the Lehmann Chardonnay and enjoyed Butter Chicken with Pilau Rice. Good spot.

14 of us girls decided to visit Alishan Restaurant.. as expected we were greeted and the staff were friendly and attentive. Great selection of menu. For a starter, I had Tandoori Salmon, as for my main course I chose the Alishan special... its the extra flavours and spices they add that you can't find in any restaurant. Can't get away without eating the onion bhaj and the poppadums.. it is freshly made and absolutely moorish.. Alishan has introduced new selection of desserts. A must try.. I definitely give Alishan Restaurant a five star... They always make you feel welcome..Thank you for making our evening fun and we can't wait for our next visit...

Alishan has become our local. The food and service are really good. Prices are reasonable. Mixed grill is a good size and quality. Railway Lamb is good, as is the Kalisham (sp) chicken (although we prefer ours Madras hot which they do if you ask).We will return... again! It's just what we want from an Indian restaurant.

This used to be the go-to curry house in Tonbridge. Now there are better Nepalese restaurants.I was part if a group of 11; when we arrived at 9:30 we were the only sitting.Friendly service.Poor food- mine looked odd, and I suffered for it all the next day with stomach upset.I will not be going back; shame.

Took me three walk pasts to confirm firstly that this was open and secondly the type of restaurant it was! There were no menus in the window and only one table was occupied.Against my better judgment I gave it a go.Onion bhajis were a plate of deep fried strips of onions with very little sauce.Chilli garlic chicken was rather bland and short of.....ummm, garlic & chilliLack of attention from staff. Cobra was good though!

Had a delicious vegetarian meal , comfortable seats, felt more of a luxury occasion than a standard curry house but very affordable, my only comment would be add another dhal recipe where the lentils are left in their normal form and not pureed. and have more veggie food without cream

My two colleagues raved about Alishan, but I found the meal poor. The Garlic Chilli Chicken I had was bland and short on garlic. The chicken was of low quality too. The onion bhaji looked strange too as strips (not round) and was very oily. I would not return here.

At the top of Tonbridge high street this curry house was quiet, maybe the fact it was so quiet should have been a sign. it felt a bit dated, like it was trying too hard to be more than it actually is.The food was OK, served promptly, nothing wrong but nothing realty special either.I would think twice about going back, not because there was anything wrong but because I think there are better restaurants in Tonbridge for the same price.

our indian take away of choice, as always. The only small irk, is that the keema naans are definitely on the slide. The last two visits have seen them get worse, (no colour, stodgy, grey meat inside) but it's a small part of the meal

I had a wonderful meal on the weekend, the place was buzzing like the old days and the food was just as I remembered it from last time. Beautifully spice and tasty. Best Indian by a long way

It's been so long since I visited Alishan... I was greeted with a smile. Feels like I'm at home. As for my starters, I had Alishan Barbeque Feast & my friend shared it with me.. Yummy.. The King Prawn is my favourite not to mention how the salmon tasted. As for my main course, I tried the Alishan Special once again. It's the special spices they have mixed that nothing can simply copy the taste. It's perfect.. To compliment the taste of my main course I had Chateaneu du Pape. Highly recommend. Brings out every flavour and spices used.

An excellent uncomplicated Asian restaurant. Helpful waiter when explaining the best decision to make on the type of food for one's pallet. Calm, clean environment. A+

Went to Alishan with 3 friends for dinner. My first visit for a year or so. I was looking forward to it as it has always been excellent in the past and it didn't disappoint. Service was good but the real star is the food. Every single item was delicious. I had Tikkey Jinghey which is a prawn dish, not too spicy but really tasty. Their onion bhajis are the best I've ever had. Railway lamb also recommended, a friend had this, also delicious

I was in Tonbridge on my own looking for a quick lunch and saw Alishan, which looks smart from the outside. I went in and apparently they do not usually open for lunch on a Friday (?). However, the chap at front of house asked the kitchen and they were happy to serve me, even though I was the only person there. An interesting menu with a lot of seafood options and a Murghal orientation. Boringly I went for Chicken Jalfrezi, Basmati Pilau rice and a baby aubergine side dish. The food was very good, not overly spicy, although the chillis provided a kick if required. The babyaubergine side dish was excellent. Overall a very good experience even as a lone punter. The telephone was fairly busy with people booking tables for the weekend, so I guess it is popular too.

As a British Bangladeshi having savoured Indian cuisine from various regions of the UK, I must admit the menu at Alishan is truly unique in its composition. It consists of primarily classical mughal era dishes which are not found in the 'average' indian restaurant and provides a historical window into the grand dishes prepared by the great chefs of the mughal palace kitchens. All in all i must say a truly unique indian restaurant serving truly unique ancient AUTHENTIC Indian cuisine. While there i ordered a speciality of the house known as zinga jafrani a beautiful king prawn dish and railway lamb a renowned dish created for the British while building the acclaimed indian railway. On top of all the extravagant dishes the service was truly impeccable and of a superior quality. Ultimately I give it 5 stars and i very much believe you will do the same.

I have previously raved about Alishan, but feel the need to do so again after a wonderful dinner last night. Impeccable service, succulent meat contained in their Braised Lamb with Yogurt, and for the first time we tried their house brandy which was a wonderful way to end the meal. Alishan continues to be my favourite restaurant in Tonbridge.

We once thought that the Alishan was the bee knees when we went there and we had been for many a year. We also liked take away from them too, until recently!The facts are that we had ordered a takeaway from them which came to over £50 as it was a family meal. And when it arrived there were a few items missing from the order, so we rang up to ask about the missing take away and we were shocked to be told that they were sorry for the mistake and to remind them about it the next time we ordered from them and they would add the missing items to our order! Talk about awful customer service!So the next time came around and we placed our order, we reminded them of our missing items and asked for the cost of them be removed from our bill, to which they became angry, asking me to drive down and show them the receipt for the last meal and the missing items. So I did! After much discussion and further atrocious customer service it was agreed that the items would be taken off the bill. When I got home we were shocked to find that not only were there missing mains, they'd forgotten to include the popadoms! So I rang them up and made a complaint and well let's just say the way we were treated was disgusting and never will we spend a pound ever again either in the restaurant or on a take away.

I went there with my family because someone had recommended it. It was amazing! The food was mouthwatering as well as there being friendly staff. The waiters were very polite and were very attentive. I definitely recommend everyone to go!

I have never had a bad meal in this lovely Indian restaurant. It is very reasonably-priced with very prompt and attentive service. Their starters are all unusual compared to the onion bhajis and samosas I had encountered in the past: they serve very particular, non-greasy prawn and crab samosas, duck tikka pieces, spinach and paneer kebabs and many more original ones. Their Tandoori mixed grill is permanently in my boyfriend's order, with very tender and well-seasoned meats including lamb, prawn and duck. Personally I can never get enough of their Lamb Palak- it is the juiciest, most tender meat I have ever had in a curry, and the spices are never overpowering. We have taken countless of our friends here and will continue to do so!

From ordering to receiving food took around 30 minutes which considering there were only 3 groups of people in the place isn't good.Quality of curry was good but Naan was very dry and could do with much improvement.Once finished we were given the towels to wipe hands with but when they came out the were cold and not steaming as would expectOverall if just eating curry with no rice or naan OK if not suggest find somewhere else!!!

Love going to Alishan and have done for a good number of years - we often have the same things but the food is always excellent. If you go you must try the onion bhajis which are the best I've ever had!!

At random we chose this restaurant when looking for an Indian restaurant in the town and we were not disappointed. There was a very extensive, reasonably priced menu, including gourmet dishes and the staff were friendly and helpful with our choices. The food was excellent and my own dish - lamb and chicken miloni - was both different and tasty.We would go again and can happily recommend this modern looking restaurant.

Had thought standard had been slipping of late. However had a meal tonight and Alishan is back on top form.. One of the best curry houses anywhere

We had another fantastic meal on Saturday night . The staff are always attentive and polite . Best Indian in town

Eastern here twice now while working in tonbridge and have really enjoyed the well balanced and some delicately spiced dishes

Would of never expected such good food / drink from somewhere that was so quiet, really nice curry's and wine! Will return soon. They need to promote their selves more as I would of never gone in unless my family had forced me!

I have been to Alishan on many occasions and found that the restaurant has a common theme. This theme is the fact that they take great care and pride in being as polite and punctual as possible in customer requests. If we ever have a query or request it is always dealt with in an extremely fast manner even during the busy hours. The food is very consistent in its quality of authenticity and taste and the restaurant's environment is very comforting yet still sophisticated after all the years. I highly recommend Alishan as you are treated with great care and they have the best poppadoms as well which is a bonus.

One of the best Indian restaurants in the Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells area. Nice setting and ambiance , the waiters are always attentive.The food is of a very high quality.

I visited as part of a table of 6. Service good and food great. I would particularly recommend trying the Railway Lamb. My husband ordered it and I stole a couple of mouthfuls. Cannot wait to go back and have the dish all to myself.

Having visited the area for a sporting event, we were looking for a good meal late on a Saturday night. The staff were very helpful with their descriptions and suggestions and the food arrived promptly, well presented and surpassed our expectations. We finished our meal at approx 11.30pm and when I asked if a taxi could be called I was told by the staff that it would be at least 1 1/2 hours. A member of staff asked where were staying and then the owner kindly offered to drive us to our hotel. A generous offer that we are not used to and was very much appreciated.

Friends and I had a takeaway from what used to be an excellent curry house. Took nearly 10 minutes to take the order over the phone (I did ask them to then read it back to me as I wasn't sure they had the order properly), then over an hour for the food to arrive. When it arrived, there were 4 things missing. These arrived 30 minutes later after I phoned and complained. Eventually we started eating. The food was greasy and the Rogan Josh was so spicy it was inedible. I emailed the restaurant to complain the next day, have had no response. Very disappointing - Won't be using themagain.

Only went here as I was going to try another place but this was so handy. Greeted by very friendly staff and nice to see a different menu from the norm. Could not find my regular meal so with the advice of the staff picked a meal for my needs. Again the meal surpassed expectations and I really enjoyed it all round. Price was ok too.Verdict : worth a punt.

The food was good and the service was also really good.Extensive menu choice with some dishes I have not seen before.

The food is good and the menu varied but I have twice been in at lunchtime when they have come over mid meal and said "we are shutting at ....". This ruins the meal and has put me off ever going back again. Dinner is a slightly different story .

The food was late to arrive to our address as they had written down wrong postcode. My husbands salad was sour to go with his main. We never got the 6 popadoms we ordered or naan bread. My chicken pathia disgusting. Awful worst curry we have ever eaten. I rang up to complain to be told next time I would get 30percent off. I said I wouldn't be eating from there again to which I was told that's my choice. Very rude and not caring. In future give your driver a sat nav with correct postcode. She was driving along on her phone map getting very lost. Seeing as there are many other Indian restaurants around this area we will not be using this one again. Expensive too. Perhaps driver are popadoms and nan bread while she was lost and hungry.
