Barinda in Stockport

We ordered a take out to be delivered. Excellent service, outstanding food. We had onion bahji, poppins, boiled rice chicken tikka masala and chicken balti jalfrezi… so so good can’t wait for the next one!

We have been eating in at Barinda for years but it’s been a while since our last visit. As it’s BYO we selected a nice bottle of Chenin Blanc to go with our meal and went for an early evening table. It was quiet and we had our choice of table. A warm welcome as always and we ordered the usual poppadoms and an onion bhaji to start. The bhaji’s at Barinda are wonderful - cooked fresh to order they are crispy and tasty with no stodgy middle bit. We chose two different curries for main with the usual accompaniment of rice, chips and naan. The Naan was light and fluffy. The chicken was moist and flavoursome in both our curries. More than enough food so we took some home for the next day. The total bill came to £42 - not sure where you can eat out locally as cost effectively and tasty as that. Can’t wait to visit again.

Whenever we have guests this is our go to place for a take out that would feed double the guests we have . Curry - wonderful . Fluffy Naan bread and melt in the mouth rice - can't fault any dish we have ever had . Efficient staff who are pleasant and polite . Everyone would love to live near a place like this .

Decent food but new over inflated takeaway prices ! Absolutely scandalous for takeaway prices . Won’t be returning after years of custom .

This place makes the Curry mile feel embarrassed . The curry , the rice and the soft large naans - consistently good so anyone who comes to visit and we rarely venture out as this is the best takeout for miles although they have a restaurant it gets packed .

Waited for well over an hour in the restaurant tonight and staff thought this funny. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Such a shame.

This is the worst curry I’ve ever eaten. Absolutely tasteless and the curries tasted exactly the same. Cubes of dry meat all in identical sauce. They have an open kitchen as if they’re cooking everything from scratch but they obviously have one large pot of sauce they use for every recipe. If you are a connoisseur of Asian flavours then avoid this place I know I will.

always enjoyed Barinda curries but last nights chicken jalfrazi was dusgusting,pieces of chicken with a mush of chopped oniond and tomato puree, nothing else. also pots of onion pickle have shrunk and no taste. Maybe thats where the onions in my curry came from. Will not be going there for a takeaway ever again

This used to be a great takeaway but in our first visit for a while, we were left underwhelmed. The onion bhajis and pakora were dry and the lamb chops overcooked. Prawn puri was good though

I have been going to Barinda Cheadle Hulme since it opened in 1999 as Barinda Balti 2000 just before the millennium. I have never been disappointed or had a bad meal from them in all the years I have been going there and no other Indian takeaway compares to theirs in my opinion. A Saturday night at home is not the same without my Barinda takeaway!

Dry onion bhajis & samosas. Naan bread quite tough and non of it was hot at all. Won't be going back.

Once the most popular takeaway in Cheadle Hulme and we went many times. There is now competition but returned tonight. Stale poppadoms, hard chips and mediocre curry. Surely poppadoms are easy to make fresh? So disappointed.

We ordered a take away. The online process is very easy to use, with an ability to select a time to pick up your order. We ordered some samosa, prawn puri and pakora. The prawn dish was very tasty, the others quite average. For main we had chicken tikka balti jalfrezi which was excellent. Very tasty with a good kick of heat

If you love a balti then this is the place to order! Yum yum very nice staff and service, you can eat in or takeaway

Everything was excellent from the poppadoms the prawn purri starter and the mains vegetable balti, lamb doppiaza, fish jalfrezi and chicken tikka.

Only 2/5 on Scores on the Doors with Poor Food Hygiene last checked in 2019. Eat at your own risk...

We ordered fish jalfrezi, chicken sachlik karahi with boiled rice and chapitis. All were excellent with good portions of fish and chicken within the tasty sauces. The chapattis were hot and fresh. Top notch.

We went for the Shashlick Karahi Chicken from the ‘Chef’s Recommendations’ as we normally get the same old thing so were keen to try something different..Well.. as one of the most expensive dishes on the menu at £10.50, we were expecting a lot..However, the dish was bulked out with huge chunks of half onion and chunks of pepper. The chicken content was pretty much non-existent.Very very disappointing, and having been here many times before, we now won’t be returning.

It’s a good while since I’ve had a takeaway from here and it’s always been good so I thought I’d revisit. They’ve installed an online ordering system which works well. I had onion bhajis which were tasty but a bit heavy, probably because they are very big. For main, I had chicken tikka doneya which had a good kick to it and was very tasty with plenty of onions and peppers in it. Definitely worth a visit

Been to Barinda lots of times, takeaway and eat in, and left positive reviews before. But made the mistake of getting a takeaway on a Monday night and the chicken in the curry was inedible, hard and gristly

We had a lamb kebab and lots of vegetable side dishes and rice, lamb was inedible really tough so bad complained straight away and barinda staff argued that it was fine. It went straight in the bin, I had the veg dishes which was bland/greasy ate it because I was hungry but haD had terrible stomach issues the next day. No attempt was made by barinda to resend or rectify the issues. WILL NOT BE GOING AGAIN TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY.

Meal that bad needs food hygiene looking at this place. DO NOT EAT HERE. You have been warned, this place needs a serious look at on meat and hygiene. Shouldn’t have a 1 for this place.

The food here is very tasty and good quality. Excellent ingredients, no stringy chicken here.

The food was great and good value. Bring your own drinks too. Staff were friendly. Couldn't fault it and hope to return soon.

For Indian food this is superb . Dine in - bring your own alcohol at no charge or take out and you won't be disappointed . Extensive menu . We have been regulars for many years and never had anything we didn't like . Their rice is so flaky and wonderfully cooked . Portions you can't finish so I wouldn't order per person . Lovely staff who want to please . This place is better than any on the Rushholme curry mile or the famous Brick Lane .

This place is just unbelievable and undervalued! We've been here so many times and never been disappointed. It's AMAZING! The food = faultless! Staff are extra helpful, so polite and always want to do more! Place is clean, tidy, cosy and it's really like having a take away at home. Visit, review and get this place the recommendations it deserves.

This is my go to when booking a work night out. Not a huge restaurant but easily fits our group of 20+.

As above, really - bring your own wine from the nicely-stocked Co-op opposite.

We ordered a takeaway on a very busy Friday night. All the breads were good, the vegetable curry was great, my fish masala had a delicious sauce, but the fish was unpleasantly overcooked. The rest of the group had chicken dishes which they seemed happy with. Although three people paid numerous visits to the loo the following day! I haven't asked the other two chicken eaters whether they were affected. This is downgraded from my previous rating of 5.

First curry from here following the demise of Balti Kitchen in Bramhall. The food was lovely and plentiful. Enough to freeze for another night. We will be back. Happy days.

This is a great place for a really nice curry. It is either a takeaway or a very no frills eating area, but the food is really good and it is BYO (there's a Coop over the road), so really good value.

Quality indian food cooked to perfection - tandoori chicken fabulous and nice sized starters. well run establishment.

He tenido una comida para llevar en cada pocos meses para Barinda sobre los últimos 10 años, siempre bastante buena y sabrosa. La comida por las noches era extremadamente pobres, duro carne, empezar apenas tibia, y prácticamente no hay carne en el keema nan. Es una pena, ya que nunca he estado tentado de ir a ningún otro sitio, pero, sin duda, busca otro lugar para nuestro hindú para llevar

My wife and i took our son and a couple of his friends the other weekend for a meal my wifes choice never been my fave place to eat . loads of onion and tasteless food

Está bien para una toma de distancia. Buen curry, personal agradable en el lado de salida. tome Comimos una vez en el restaurante y tuvimos una mala experiencia con un joven camarero, pero esa no es la reflexión sobre el resto del personal. Nos quejamos en el momento no estoy seguro de si la persona en cuestión aún está allí.

Me encanta Barinda. He sido bastante mucho y todo es genial de principio a fin! Los camareros son todos muy educados y agradables, y le dará recomendaciones. La comida sabe muy bien y el servicio es rápido. También es un BYOA que es también un buen factor (co-op, sobre la carretera) para summerise diría que este restaurante es siempre coherente cuando se trata de tener una comida estupenda.

Una concurrida Nochebuena y llegamos temprano en la noche para encontrar el restaurante casi completo con 2 grandes partidos. Gran ambiente y nos dio una cálida bienvenida a los camareros. Pedimos que nos trajeron rápidamente poppadoms junto con vasos de vino y cervezas. Decidimos compartir porciones de cebolla bhajis, samosas de carne y deliciosa, así como el acompañamiento de ensaladas. Los platos principales fueron diferentes lados de arroz, pan y patatas fritas. Muy buenas porciones y todos estuvieron de acuerdo en que era muy sabroso. La única queja sería la de gambas samber era distinto a cualquier otro que he tenido anteriormente, no desagradable pero demasiado tomate. El servicio era muy bueno y los precios casi como otros habitantes indios. Beneficio es llevar tu propio alcohol. Sin duda lo recomiendo.

I don't eat here often, but when I do, the food is always delicious, with good helpful service. I love the fact that we can take our own wine to accompany our meal. The takeaway service is also good with the same delicious food.

The atmosphere was amazing with the restaurant being full. The service was good and the waiters were so polite. Definitely recommend!

The service was quick and the waiters were really nice people. The atmosphere was nice and calm and not super rushed. The food was too good to be true. No doubt about it. It was the best Indian restaurant that Iv'e ever had in my 43 years.

We were a group of ladies chatting and laughing and enjoying our evening. The waiter was rude and unhelpful throughout our meal. As we finished our meal the waiter said somebody in the restaurant had said we were too loud and could we be quiet. There were only two other tables, both enjoying themselves, making noise, so we asked both tables if we were bothering them and if they had complained. Both hadn't and were shocked at the waiters behaviour. We challenged the waiter and he became offensive and very rude and told us it was a table who had just left. This was was also a lie because they were friends of a lady in our party. We told him this and he then said this is about respect. He obviously has a problem with women and tried to ruin our evening. We explained to the gentleman in the takeaway attached to the restaurant and he said he would deal with him. What a shame one member of staff can soil a restaurants reputation and our evening. I would not recommend any group of younger independent females go without male company. Not a place that respects female customers.

Average and no better. Naan bread was very "doughy" and really not very nice. The chicken in the curries was a bit tasteless. We had three different meals and we were all disappointed with our meal.

This place is the best for Indian food for miles. The staff are brilliant and really friendly. You have to take your own alcohol. Never had a bad meal here in 5 years. They slow have a takeaway next door which is also excellent. Well worth a visit

This Indian offers both take away and eat in and neither has a lesser quality.The eat in is bring your own alcohol in a fairly small, but otherwise faultless restaurant. It is well decorated and the food they serve is delicious, flavoursome and with big portions for a reasonable price.The take away is not substandard. The flavour is exactly the same: beautiful. I am none too keen on an Indian meal myself, but I would never say no to a Barinda. It is my family and friends go-to Indian and it's a delight to have it in the local area.Staff are friendly and wanting to help. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

As the reviews indicate, the Barinda has almost universal approval. What is perhaps even more worthy of notice is that those who admire and enjoy the Barinda most are those reviewers of the greatest experience. Certainly, the Barinda serves very high quality meals and the dishes contain a very high meat content - no cutting corners here.The restaurant is rather small which means that, at least at the weekend, it is advisable to make reservations.As others have noted, the Barinda has a no corkage BYOB policy, which is very advantageous as to cost. But also for convenience. There is a late night Co-operative Food shop immediately across the road which sells good value wine and beer. Enjoy!

Well what can I say, I rate this a 2, it was a poor curry with no taste, very bland, I must be spoilt living in Gatley where the curry is almost perfect every time especially Gatley tikka masala, I should of drove the 8 min drive.

I'll keep this short. Simple THE BEST take away in the area. Always rammed at weekend so perhaps everyone knows that already?

We had a take-away and it was really lovely. Up until we recently moved, we had a local Indian which we didn't think anywhere else could rival but the Barinda is an excellent takeaway/restaurant, equally as good as our local and we will definitely be eating here again! The food isn't greasy and the spices and flavour of the food is perfect. You can see into the kitchen, which I always like and it has a 5 star hygiene rating, which I like even more!

used both takeaway and the restaurant without complaint. Good value and tasty food. Service always been fine, can get a little cramped if busy but will try a and accommodate if the can as only small. The bonus is you can take you own alcohol which makes for a reasonable night all in all good food and good value.

Fantastic food here and the best bit is its byo booze. Perfect and no corkage. Staff are friendly and the takeaway next door is great if you don't want to eat in. Small restaurant so book on weekend nights. Really good value.

We had booked the Barinda as a venue that was visited regularly by members of our group and one that was very local. It was a new venue for me. We were greeted on arrival by friendly staff and as it was a social reunion and leaving "do" were very engrossed in conversation and not hurried to order. The staff took this with great patience and forbearance. We finally ordered and were brought our meals - no mistakes in the order. The curry was delicious. We knew this restaurant was alcohol free and we could bring our own - there was no corkage and glasses were provided. A very pleasant evening was had. It is clearly visited regularly by families with children and provides a good takeaway too.

It's a Brilliant little place, it's really friendly, very quite and lots of delicious interesting food! Thank you for a great night x

Have been coming to this restaurant and the take away from when it first opened. The food, service, cleanliness and overall ambiance are consistently of the highest standard. Would recommend to anyone wanting a super meal!

I along with my family have eaten food from the takeaway and less often in the restaurant since this business first opened and have never had a disappointing meal.There is the added advantage of being able to take your own wine in to the restaurant which makes it better value for money.

Very quiet - we were the only ones eating in whilst we were there - but their take away business looked very busy which is a good sign! Service good, food very good. Take your own booze.All in all, a well above average Indian meal. Will go again when next in the area.

As a group of friends we arranged to meet at the Barinda. First thing to say is that it is a restaurant tacked onto a takeaway - takeaway on one side of a partition wall and the restaurant on the other side with a door so the single member of staff could access both sides. On the night we were there 5 tables were occupied but it has to be said it is not a place you would say has any atmosphere. Glasses are provided should you wish to take your own alcohol otherwise the soft drinks are what you can purchase next door. However the food was good and the menu on each side of the dividing wall is the same so if you like a particular starter for instance you could have it as a main in the restaurant by multiplying the order x 2 or 3 just as you might at home. Due to there being one member of staff going between the two establishments to get the food and drink, service was mixed and I would imagine at certain times could be slow. There is limited parking with cars parked up the pavement on both sides of the road.Would I go there for a meal again? The answer is no because I prefer a restaurant with some atmosphere and some basic facilities but I might order a takeaway!!

I have used this as a takeaway a couple of times now, never eaten in the restaurant. On our last visit when we rang the order through we were informed it would be 30 mins, however it took 1 hour! It was totally redeemed as the food was fantastic- I feel they should be either a takeaway or a restaurant not both - it would then get 5 stars every time

Although we haven't eaten in the restaurant. We get takeaway quite a lot. The staff are so friendly and helpful. They are so efficient in what they do, and they never look stressed, even though at times, the queue is out the door! They deliver the best curries in the area. Ive had quite a few different ones now and each one is more delicious. Keep up the hard work

This restaurant is situated on a main road and the parking is poor. It is not licenced therfore you supply your own drinks, which is fine by me, in fact I actually prefer this arrangement. The decour is fine, not exceptional,. The menu, food and service is excellent.. However, we were in a large party celebrating a 60 th birthday and having ran up a sizeable bill, we were rather dismayed to be rushed and told 'They needed our table for other diners' . This appears to be a common theme as it is often possible to see people cueing outside for a considerable time .For this reason they get a low score which is a shame. Perhaps they could aquire a liquor licence or stop over booking and ruining people's celebration meals. We will not be returning.

We regularly get food from Barinda, and it is always tasty, generous and the staff are always friendly.

I have been using this great curry restaurant for years and it has been consistently good. The food is always excellent, full of flavour, I can't recommend this enough. The restaurant is Bring your Own Booze too so it makes for a great cheaper night out :-)Niggles:Restaurant is too hot. It has AC which wasn't even switched on last night.Service staff seem to resent bringing glasses and ice to the table. Maybe understandable given they make no money from this, but speedy service and a smile costs nothing.Poppadoms are a ridiculous 70p each. If you are buying one this is fair enough, but 10 should costs a fiver! When I'm getting takeaway I cook my own poppadoms for this exact reason.

Had a few takeaways from here recently and have all been a good standard, chicken tikka madras is really nice. Good service and reliable takeaway. My only complaint would be the mushroom rice on the last visit appeared to have been made with tinned mushrooms .

Having booked early table at 6.30 because we had our granddaughter with us the first words spoken to us were "you have to be out by 8 o'clock". No hello welcome or anything ! We had to request menu then ask for glasses - as it's take your own drink - and wait 15 mins for popadoms - food was ok had the service been better could have accepted it - another table walked out- maybe they would rather concentrate on their takeaway business

Have used this restaurant both as a take away and dine in for many years.The quality of food has varied over time from excellent to fair.Presume it reflects changes in personel in the kitchen or produce buying policy.As of past 3 months food has been excellent. Big pluss is you can take your own booze so you avoid high add ons to your bill.

Me and my partner had the first (of many) Barinda's this year and as always it was of an excellent standard. I think this is the best Indian takeaway in the area by a country mile, we usually get a madras and the sauce is tasty with the right amount if heat and pleanty of succulent meat. The staff are friendly and it's always on time, great restaurant!

We've had takeaways and eaten in at the restaurant here several times. Each experience is the same. The food is superb, tasty and flavoured properly. The service is woeful. It's not uncommon to be waiting half an hour between courses in the restaurant. Last night we made a phone order and were told 20-25 minutes. Food wasn't in my hand an hour later and I was waiting at the counter for 35 minutes. No apology. The food is exceptional but we'll be staying clear until some very basic service issues are sorted out

We went for a meal here over Christmas. It is a bit bland inside with very little atmosphere however the food was very good and very reasonable in price. You are also allowed to take your own alcohol. The service was a bit slow but we would all happily back.

I've never written a review before but I was so disappointed and quite disgusted by my experience at this restaurant. My partner and I used to visit this restaurant quite often as its local, the food is generally good and you can take your own wine which saves a bit of money. We haven't been for over a year. The waiters used to be welcoming and polite. On Saturday night we were met by the most surly looking man who pointed to a small table near the toilet - no smile or a greeting. We asked if we could sit at another table as the restaurant was completely empty. He said "No". The restaurant was still empty when we left so it seemed that nobody else was booked in and we could have changed tables. The meal was mediocre. My partners was hot (temperature wise) whilst mine was tepid. I didn't dare say anything to the man or complain. We quickly paid and left. Of course we didn't get a "goodbye" "come again" or anything like that! We won't be returning.

Great food and the naga jalfrezi is superb. I have tasted alot of different Indian meals all over the UK and I keep coming back to this take away.

Great takeaway from here!! really good prices for what you get - shame they don't do delivery and you have to collect but worth the drive.

Visited this restaurant yesterday, party of 9, met by surly faced gentleman, pointed to our table, never a smile or acknowledgement. Gave our food orders, starters arrived, I used my knife for my starter and when I handed my starter plate back with the dirty knife on it was told "keep the knife". I then had to wipe this on my napkin. Never once did he smile. The waiter who came to clear our main meal plates was different again, smiling and courteous. The food was lovely, what a shame about the first gentleman, all our party said we would never come again.

If you know anything at all about Indian food you would not rate this place at all.Ordered a takeaway and experienced the most intense food poisoning iI have ever experienced!!Furthermore the "food" which I ate (a curry) did not resemble a true curry and had not been made using the correct spice mix or the correct base sauce in my opinion.Tasted more like someone had tipped a bottle of Nando's into a tin of tomato'sFood =Total utter rubbish!!

I visited Barinda for a special occasion with a large group of friends and family. I've had takeaways from here previously which have been delicious, however my experience eating in the restaurant didn't come up to a similar stand unfortunately. There was only my party and one other party in the restaurant and the service was incredibly slow. From start to finish we were in there for 3 hours, and from asking for the bill several times it took well over 30 minutes to be brought to the table. There was around a 30 minute wait in between each course too. My biggest complaint was that I found a hair in my starter, which unfortunately put me off the rest of my meal. Although I was offered another starter I didn't find the staff to be very apologetic, which I would expect as a minimum in the circumstances.On the plus side you can take your own drinks, which keeps the cost of the meal down, but all in all I'm not sure I'd rush back.

Good quality food and sensibly priced throughout Barinda is well worth a visit especially if you're tired of the overpriced and poor quality of the drinks menus in other establishments. The food isn't as good as many others but the decor is inoffensive and they don't sell lager ; a drink that is not suited to spicy food due to it's blandness despite popular belief that it is.

I have used the Barinda Takeaway for years as I live within walking distance, and the food has always been fantastic, really tasty and very reasonable prices too ! Over the last couple of years we have started visiting the Barinda Restaurant next door and found it to be brilliant too. We have enjoyed all sorts of occasions there, from 20 of us getting together for my husband's 50th, to a romantic curry for two on Valentines night ! Each time the food has been up to its usual excellent standard, as well as friendly and attentive service and the offer of a doggy bag to take any leftovers home . An added bonus is that there is no corkage charge to take your own booze ! Could not recommend the Barinda more..... Becky

I've been getting my take outs from here for a few years now and eat in occasionally. Never had a bad curry from here always good quality and quantity. If you like it spicy then tell them to ramp it up a bit as sometimes they can be on the tame side. The restaurant part is just a bolt on to the takeaway so don't expect a large flash curry house. They do not serve booze, but there is a Coop opposite which is rather handy.

I visited this restaurant in a party for a family member a couple of weeks ago and wasn't very impressed. We were a fairly large party and it was early on a Saturday evening with only another three sets of diners. The decoration was Basic and boring. There was no atmosphere or ambiance and there was no feeling of being welcome. We had booked for 7 o'clock, our first course starter was ordered and arrived three quarters of an hour later. The main was ordered and didn't arrive at the table until 8.45pm. By the time we'd had the starter two other couples had arrived and I can appreciate that it was a small restaurant but the time it took the waiter to decide to take our orders, the complete lack of any type of friendly service and the way fresh cutlery was basically thrown on the table convinced me never to set foot in there again.

I go to Barinda quite a bit. I usually however just get take out. The curries are extremely tasty and watching the guys cook beside is a sign of confidence in their product. The staff are always cheery and welcoming and get to know their regulars. On the few occasions I have ate in the 'restaurant' part it has been somewhat quiet and therefore it kills the atmosphere. But I supposed that's just luck of the draw. My only grip is that the prices have gone up quite a bit and 2 of my fave dishes are now almost £8. Which is steep in anyone's book. But then again you gotta pay for quality.

Our family favourite. We have had our works night out here We come with family , friends , or as a couple.Food & service ,consistently good. Bring your own wine & enjoy!

We often have take outs from this restaurant, but recently we have eaten in the seated area. Always greeted with a smile.Good food, good portions, left overs taken away in a doggy bag.You can take your own wine or beer, no corkage. If you forget to take you own they point you across the road to the store opposite.My mouth is watering as I write this review!!

We eat here about once or twice a month and the food is always fantastic! Service is good and it is great value for money! Definitely worth a visit!

I'm amazed this place is only ranked 15 out of 25 restaurants in Cheadle, in my opinion it should be near the top.. We've been going for years (mostly takeaways) & we've never had anything but delicious food. Everything's very fresh, the service is excellent, & good value.The staff are cheerful & polite. Give it a try, but remember to take your own alcohol if eating in.

We eat here regularly. The atmosphere is good and service friendly. Food is very nice and you bring your own drinks so that makes it a bit like a picnic.

A warm and comfortable restaurant serving authentic indian meals, like the fact that you can bring your own booze!
