Amirs Balti House in Bassetlaw

Small family run business best Indian in Retford 100% recommended

Love the food usually but the last 2 times I’ve tried ordered a delivery it’s been hours and then arrived cold! I tried calling lots but no answer as to where my order is… frustrating!!

Best Indian I’ve tried in retford and the best in East Midlands !!!

Been eating here for about 6 months… never been disappointed. Absolutely great food everytime.

Great service, amazing food would 100% recommend amirs.

Great place with great people make u feel welcome to be there as soon as u enter and food is great also

First time here and the food was lovely. The biggest standout was how polite and attentive the staff were. It’s a rare treat to be treated in such a nice way and to top it off the food was well cooked,,fresh, tasty and came out without any delays even though the restaurant was full. Will definitely be back.

The service,the friendliness of the staff the quality of the food and delivery were all faultless, Very recommendable

This was our first time coming here, the food was very flavourful, fresh and very delicious. A lovely little family ran business, all the staff were very lovely and very pleasant, Mitali was the lady looking after us for the night and I cannot fault her, her service was absolutely impeccable, a very kind soul. Would certainly recommend coming here.

Food was excellent and the service from the staff was also excellent. The was polite and welcoming in every way.

Fantastic singer and performance (Elvis Replacement). Very friendly staff

Amazing food! And lovely staff!

Had a meal tonight it was very nice and a place that should be tried

Best Indian at Retford customer service is excellent

we dine in inside yesterday. food was freshly made and service was amazing. i just love this place. price and food quality are topnotch . portion also sufficient.

Went there with wife a couple of weeks ago shouting very unprofessional never again intimidating manager

Me my missues and my daughter came In tonghit for a lovely quiet meal until we was confronted with awful food if am honest and staff members shouting around witch upset my 7 month old daughter food was awful and the service whilst eating was unacceptable. Woudent recommend at all

First impressions of this place were good, had a meal upstairs, unfortunately those first impressions didn’t last long as while we were eating, we could hear a staff member arguing with someone downstairs, quite loud and heated, very unprofessional and I hope this wasn’t a customer, completely ruined our experience and peaceful night

I been today at Restaurant food is very good lovely coustomer service specially lamb curry chicken korma

Fantastic food , staff were so polite and friendly, would highly recommend

45 mins late from the latest expected order time. I had to chase as the app had advised my order was delivered and it wasn’t. They weren’t particularly helpful or apologetic.

Are good was over two hours late , it was cold and when we rung about it the staff hung up on us . An overall dissapointing experience

Really nice meal served by lovely people who stayed open late for us, thankyou 😍 all the food was really tasty and fresh cooked so came out hot. Definitely call again next time we're in Retford 😋😋

I don't even know how this place doesn't have all 5 star reviews. Every time I've had it, it's been wonderful. They know what they're doing.

Tasty foods and good customer service really like it

Ordered the food just to find out the place was closed, nothing was on their website or facebook. took my money and gave me an email confirming my order. Disgusting.

The food is so fresh and authentic , it’s so good, the staff are wonderful. So worth a visit

Good menu with excellent quality food and service - family owned business who are passionate on providing only the best for their customers

Staff always go above and beyond, these guys know how to cook! Portion sizes are generous, a must try is the saag paneer! All the curry's we have tried have all been fresh and delicious.

The food is always really good, fresh and tasty, with good size portions. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend 👌

Wow a lovely authentic home cooked curry. Really enjoyed my chicken curry tonight. I’ve always gone to Everest for my curry but will be coming here now on. I can highly recommend the food here and the service was very friendly.

Our favourite Indian food restaurant in Retford, love it. The paneer achari is amazing 🤩

best indian food in retford, every item was delicuous and cooked to perfection

Great service and great food. All the staff were chatty and were genuinely interested how the food was for us. Very very good

Family business , so professional , friendly , they really deserve a try , good food , good portions

Lovely meal , stunning presentation friendly helpful staff will definitely be back for more x

The food could of been packed more for 50£. But it did have flavour but it not authentic Indian it had different flavours of a normal Indian dish.

Really gone down hill from what used to be a nice takeaway, chewy onion bahjis, rice rock hard, dry naan bread, flavourless meat, barely even warm, masala chips with barely any spice. Absolutely appalling. Neither of us ate it. Avoid.

Facilities were basic but food and service was excellent 👌

The staff were so friendly and couldnt do enough for us, the lady that servedus was funny too. The food was delicious, lamb madras was tender and juat the right amount of spice and the atmosphere was great, we have just come home from having a my 40th birthday meal and I would total recommend it to anyone, if you want to go on a date or have a family gathering. We will be back very soon.

always a pleasant experience. brilliant food and very friendly staff

I don't like leaving bad reviews as I always try and understand reasons for any issues that may arise but as we had ordered this meal for our wedding anniversary it really did ruin the evening for us. I preordered for delivery with us working and then having to run some errands and thought great, pick the perfect time for us to get everything done, set our new table up and eat to celebrate our anniversary. The food was ordered to be delivered for 6pm, I got an alert earlier on to say it was being prepared so thought great, we're on schedule. 25 past 6 came around and we had been waiting for it to arrive, I checked back on the order and it now stated delivered? So I called up and spoke to an abrupt lady who asked for my name and then just said 10 minutes... So I thought OK, fair enough, maybe they're busy and there was an issue with their updates. Another half an hour passed and I tried to call again as still no food. This time it rang and rang and then just cut off. Luckily 10mins after that the food arrived. But, not in a very nice condition. Salad and cold sauces put under all the hot food so they practically curdled. Then the meat juices/sauce had leaked all over everything as the meat was just put into bags that were not sealed in any way. So we couldn't eat any of the sauces, the salad was just mushy and warm, some of the chicken had the most strangest texture and extremely spicy which it didn't say on the menu. The tikka sauce was very sweet, more like a korma which was odd. We managed most of our rice and a bit of naan and had enough. So to say we'd ordered this as a special meal. It was pretty poor and very disappointing as we had never tried Amirs before. Such a shame. EDIT - Emailed the restaurant as requested and have had no response.

Still havent had our order. Wont answer phones. Just eat dont get involved. Useless bunch of...

I don’t normally leave reviews. The food was good although it took a while to be delivered. The reason I decided to leave a review is the lovely dessert ceramic pot. Such a nice and different touch and worthy of elevating it all to a 5 stars reviews.

Excellent restaurant and takeaway food brilliant 👏

Delicious curry,Friendly staff .Highly recommended

Ordered an Indian take away from here this evening. Probably the best Indian food we've had for years. Food was hot, tasty and plentiful, massive chunks of meat. The sauces were creamy, rich and thick. Honestly, great meal, will have to go and sit in and try it next time. looks like this will become our new treat every now and then :-)

Small 8ndian restaurant with good food and unusual menu choices. Can be noisy in view of its size and service was a bit erratic although staff were very friendly

lovely food, tasted fantastic. definitely was on time and no issues ☺️

Excellent food and service, can highly recommend, we will be visiting again.

That curry has to be one of the best I have ever had. Good quality, quantity and full of flavour. Highly recommend.

Avoid at all costs! 2 hours since ordering and no delivery. Rang the restaurant to chase up and they were abrupt and said it will be with you in 5-10 mins without even checking delivery address/ order details. Unsurprisingly, the order still has not arrived so they’ve basically just taken our money at this point.

Amazing food! It was full of flavour and very tasty. Service was lovely, and staff checked on us throughout the meal to make sure everything was alright. They were very friendly overall! The atmosphere was very cosy, and the tables were set beautifully. The seating was upstairs, with a narrow staircase, but we had no problems with this (although this may not be accessible for some people due to the layout of the building, through no fault of their own) Overall, a very nice place to eat, and I would encourage people to try this food: whether you decide to eat in or take away!

Food is back up To an amazing quality again ❤️

Great food, even better staff! Found on tastecard!

Fantastic food, friendly but professional staff making for a lovely evening meal. Cosy, clean restaurant.

Originally, I went for a takeaway, and then the lady we spoke to explained it was a new family business that opened in Oct 23, and a restaurant was upstairs, so we decided to take advantage. What a shame it couldn't have been better, we ordered chicken tikka pathia, pilau rice, bombay aloo and a keema naan. Well, the pathia was the strangest taste from a generic sauce. The rice was stuck together in lumps from over cooking in the microwave and unfortunately, the aloo was with old potatoes in the sauce. Probably the most off- putting item was the keema naan that I was really looking forward to, but unfortunately, it was empty inside so I asked the lady if I had received the wrong naan as it was empty and tasteless, she replied by saying it had a handful of very fine chicken inside it but was hiding very well and proceeded to take it apart with her hands saying 'look you can see it' I obviously replied I wouldn't be eating that now! Five minutes later she came back to the table apologising about the naan and I replied saying I could not eat it now as I had no confidence as to how clean her hands were and she shouldn't have picked my naan apart trying to proof it had chicken in it! She replied saying oh god she hadn't thought about that and yes I was right and had taught her something!! (Perhaps they should equally be taught that keema naan is made from lamb mince) The bill came and sadly still charged for the naan! Finally the floor was so greasy someone will fall down the stairs soon. What a shame as it could have been so much better.....

Great food. Great portions. Good price and friendly staff

Had a lovely meal at Amirs last night Lovely friendly staff, great service, reasonably priced and fabulous food Will definitely go back if we are in Retford again Thanks for a lovely meal

Best Indian in retford amazing service good food and friendly staff i would recommend this

Everything was cooked to perfection, amazing service. Thank you

Great little restaurant! Food was warm and tasty, but the service was fantastic, we found one of the curry’s a little spicy and they offered to change it straight away and even made us a free extra curry to take home. We will definitely be going again

delivery took over 2hrs and all I got from the receptionist was its on its way, unacceptable. then when the food did arrive it was luke warm. very disappointing wouldn't recommend it over others.

not a good Indian I'm afraid, had lamd madras and was only 4 little bits of lamb in the dish, 90% of it was all the sauce. rice and chips was ok I suppose.

Food has gone down hill recently with change of staff but it is the best priced curry I can get delivered to my house and it’s edible. Always late deliveries now too which is a shame.

First visit- definitely not the last! Food was amazing, staff pleasant, great value for money.

Superbly cooked and presented cuisine

Food was great tasting & plentiful. Very pleasant staff. Highly recommended

Really delicious midweek meal catching up with a few friends. Will definitely be back soon!

Absolutely amazing. Food was yummy, service outstanding. Thanks so much!

Nan bread burnt , No meat in keema nan . Lamb gristley & Prawns curry - prawns hard , chicken curry meat was dry. Proper disappointed

Do not buy from here if you are a fan of Indian food. this was an absolutely terrible choice, and wouldn't even class it as Indian food. Go to the local lidl and buy an Indian meal for 1, which as 10x the flavour of these dishes. also don't order any lamb curries as there is 0 lamb in the dish. maybe they just don't understand what lamb is perhaps. I ordered from here reading the reviews, but clearly they are manufactured reviews from the takeaways "family" members. Avoid at all costs!

Just visited Amirs and had a most excellent meal, food really delicious, service very helpful and friendly Will definitely be back The best Indian we've had for a long time

Was told it was out for delivering. Waited another 40mins chased & order hadn't even left the restaurant. Shocking service.

I ordered mushroom rice and it had high amount of oil content. it makes me disappointed.

Food was amazing , staff was nice also. Will have again :)

We dined on Saturday..the family feel to the restaurant was fantastic..the service was friendly, hilarious and spot on.. the food was absolutely delicious.. I had one of the best evenings I've had in a long time.. I can not recommend this place highly enough.. go and try it.. you will not be disappointed!! Many thanks to them all for an all round amazing evening xxx

Called in here tonight for a change after not been for years , it has recently changed hands and the new owners are absolutely lovely , food was really lovely , loved the pickle tray sauces too . Really enjoyed our curries , will definitely be back xx

Not a lot of meat in the curry’s and not great overall.

We ordered a number of dishes and they were all extremely tasty and plentiful.

The food was beautiful. Full of flavour and cooked perfect.

Delivery was so late. The food was nice when it finally arrived.

Ordered vegetable madras and chicken madras delivered. The chicken curry was subsequently collected a couple of hours later. Refund requested, but not received.

Best takeaway curry in Retford and I’ve tried them all!!

The quality of the food and the customer service was excellent throughout. The food came out quick and was delicious. I definitely recommend this place.

Good service and very tasty food. Must try

delicious, flavoursome food, delivered early 😋

The food was excellent. Everything I had was cooked perfectly.

Tandoori Mixed Grill was delicious. Also Garlic Cheese Nan was excellent

Tikka biriyani was awesome. Proper flavoured. service was excellent Atmosphere was satisfactory. will recommend and come back agan

Our first take away for years. I learnt that they are under new ownership, the staff were very friendly the new decor was lovely and the food was delicious. We look forward to more take aways and a visit to have a sit down meal in the not to distant future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL CURRY LOVERS 😊

Absolutely beautiful small family run business...came and had a gorgeous meal with my partner the team was extremely warm and welcoming to us....there is a great selection of drink choices same with meal choices....food arrived promptly and hot and staff carried regular check backs to make sure we was comfortable and happy. Absolutely loved my chicken balti and pilau rice and highly recommend.....we will be visiting again for sure.

What a lovely place for an evening of great food! All the dishes were cooked superbly and I know we will be visiting again!

Curry was yummy, just aswell we know our curry’s as the curry lids where on wrong curry’s !!!

The chicken dishes were very nice. The Bombay aloo could have cooked a bit longer to give it that melt in the mouth aspect that they describe on the menu. One portion of this needed cooking a lot longer.

Had a meal here on Sunday night, was the only ones in the restaurant, ordered a pickle tray and poppadoms for starter, the pickle tray was very small, while we was eating our starter the waiter asked us 3 times if we was ready to order our mains, for the main course we both had lamb which wasn't lamb it was dry cubes of something, won't be returning

Our go too Indian restaurant 10/10 as always

fantastic food best in a long time 😁

Naan bread was dry and overcooked, curry was pretty bland

It’s a one of the great restaurant
