Barton Rouge in Wirral

I've only lived in the North West for 2yrs and in that time I've completely fallen in love with Mowgli's (Water St). I genuinely didn't think it was possible to find a restaurant to top it. However after visiting both Liverpool and Heswall Barton Rouge restaurants I've been blown away by the quality of service & food. I would not hesitate to recommend Barton Rouge to anyone and cannot wait to return. Thanks to all the staff at Heswall for helping me embarrass my uncle Shaun on his birthday tonight 🥳 🎂 🥮

Wasn't going to write a review but since Google asked me for one. Here it is. Service was outstanding, the guys there are so attentive but restaurant was empty apart from 2 - 3 tables right in the window to make it 'look busy' Food was really good, lots of choice and we all enjoyed our meals... However that's where that ended. An hour or so after leaving the restaurant, none of us felt particularly well, bloated and most of the party ended up feeling unwell/having bowel 'issues' through the night/following day. If it was just one person I'd put it down to chance, but we all shared starters but had diff mains. Not sure our curry club will be in a hurry to revisit after this.

Fantastic range of food really well cooked and presented. Very friendly service.

Title says it all, wonderful visit...amazing food and very attentive staff. Food came.out really quick and the family naan was a sight to behold. Will definitely be coming back!!!

We went for my daughters 18th Birthday and at the end of the meal they brought out a cake and sang Happy Birthday was such a lovely touch. Excellent service and food will definitely be going back.

Confession....I am a regular custommer, but that speaks volumes of how good this restaurant and its staff are. Recently introduced a special menu to compliment the standard. Very impressed by the friendly, knowledgable waiters and the high quality of the food that they uuse.

Great evening out , food and drinks were delicious. Small delay in getting the bill.

I've never been compelled to write a review before, but this place deserves one. I've never had so much meat in a curry before, fantastic value. Great taste. 3 onion bajhi, instead of the usual 2. Best curry I've had. Only 4 stars for atmosphere as it's early , so a bit quiet.

My wife’s 50th birthday and once again Barton Rouge was amazing. As always the food is beyond amazing. The best curry around. Amazing service also

Lovely food, friendly helpful waiters & a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend as a family friendly restaurant.

Excellent service and great food!

Outstanding service, small details like replacing napkins often, refilling drinks, making recommendations etc. Lovely food, will be back.

Food and service good would go again

Enjoyed my meal in a nice warm atmosphere. Great staff very friendly and pleasant. Food was really good!

food varied and excellent. staff very attentive. being a wednesday night, was quiet, only a few tables taken

This place gets better and better every timew e go there! Family run with excellent staff, Chefs bused each each day from Manchester. Food quite exquisite.

Been a few times this year and food has always been amazing! It was a bit quiet which surprised me but the staff were attentive and helpful.

Lovely food and great service. Great choice on the menu

Restaurant was empty but very nice staff. Food was far too spicy so half of the group left before the main meals. Lamb tikka so hot it left my tongue burning. Should’ve gone to heswall tandoori as usual

Excellent curry. One of the best I've ever had. Great service. Would highly recommend

Was quite busy and good atmosphere. Food a bit slow to come out but worth the wait. Huge bread was brilliant touch.

As soon as we arrived we were asked..." drinks and poppadoms" yes please. That's when it all massively went down hill. We had to wait for some weird season to order our mains. After asking 5 times " can we please order now" they just kept on saying 'yes" and pointing to another part of the room. I just couldn't understand why they kept on walking past looking at us. Finally when the food arrived it was under cooked and warm. My main was border line cool. This has most certainly gone down hill. It use to be a lovely curry place. The final insult was when the bill arrived. I had to ask the waiter to please come back after I had fully checked the bill. He was actually standing over us while I was checking. It felt quite intimidating.

Ths food was nice average portions, enough for me but not for hubby! Waiters were lovely. Thought it was expensive for what we had.

Good tasty food, decor a little sterile,aspires to be upmarket but with plastic dirty menus lets itself down. That being said would return

We were really looking forward to our visit here for my Birthday as had seen previous reviews re the restaurant. Arrived on time to be left waiting at reception no meet and greet and stood there for ten minutes. Finally acknowledged by young male staff member to be told that there was no staff at the premises to cook our meal !!! It was then we noticed that customers already seated were not eating or drinking and were starting to leave. When we asked when they would be arriving we were told he did not know and had no idea when we would be able to be served, this is totally unacceptable. We wasted our time travelling to the venue and would have appreciated a call to advise us of the issue as they had our details from the booking process. I will not recommend this restaurant in future as they do not value our custom and will definitely advise friends and family to avoid at all cost. I would have given them a zero rating if it was possible

Loved the place. I cannot wait to go again.

It's a bit hectic being New Years Eve. Even having to be asked to move tables in the middle of our meal wasn't the best! However, the meal was well presented, hot and delicious 😋

The best Indian on the Wirral, every time!

Great location in Heswall with a good choice of drinks and food.

Had a wonderful Himalayan lamb dish

Lovely place with wonderful food.

A catch up with family and friends lead us to this amazing restaurant. Outstanding service and even better food. Good value for money and plenty of food for money. We had a great night here.

Charges for 2 tap waters .mild curry was far to spicy for some

This is the best Indian I have been to. Staff wonderful and friendly. The decor is wonderful and ambiance is excellent. Best madras I have ever had. Will definately go again. Amazing.

Love this restaurant, amazing food and staff.

Not good value for money. First visit since Covid broke they are clearly making up for lost revenue. We opted for the King Prawn Tandoori. £11.95 is expensive for s starter but we thought we would treat ourselves. The fish came and consisted of potentially one king prawn and another piece which had some form of identity crisis, oh and some fried onions. When questioned the staff as to the lack of quantity they responded by saying food is more expensive. Sadly will now be looking for cheaper restaurants.

Probably the best restaurant in my opinion beautiful food, friendly service in a amazing environment and reasonably priced. 10 stars from me. Thanks.

There are no two ways about how to describe Barton Rouge, it is excellent. Upon entering one senses a buzz of happy diners enjoying themselves. There is a good range of menu options and the food is delicious. On a busy Saturday night they would have benefited from a few additional staff, however the waiters worked tirelessly in keeping in touch and providing excellent service. It is comfortable, clean, and without doubt a return-to restaurant.

I am from London and often travel to the Wirral to visit family. I have eaten in London, Manchester, Birmjngham, the South East, including Southall as well as other curry houses up and down the land... and I can say, in my opinion, when the chef is on form at Barton Rouge, Wirrall, and to be fair 8 times out of 10 he is, on those 8 times the food is simply sensational. How is it, that as a Londoner I have to travel hundreds of miles to the middle of the Wirral (!) no less, in order to get Indian food that is mind blowingly good? Its a sad fact, but Indian food in the UK has become so bland and 'samey', with each dish seemingly prepared the same way - boiled or grilled meats plonked into a prepackaged sauce that it is no surprise the quality and numbers of curry houses are dropping. Food is blah. Not so Barton Rouge. Whe we first visited it a few years ago, I was like 'yeah right', a curry house in Middle England is going to impress me? OMG. Mind blown. My faith in high street curry houses restored... please, please BR continue doing what you are doing and do not succumb to the bland and compromise quality for costs savings. Does not work in the long run. I love this place almost as much as the family I have to visit ... in fact, thank God for family... otherwise would never have found it. The BR in Chester us terrible btw, just like all the other curry houses lately. Cheap pre prepared sauces and no subtlety... have not tried the Liverpool one. BTW, the other two times the chef is just 'great'...

Great experience after being recommended. Good efficient service & really tasty food. Not a fan of the takeaway menus which I guess are a hangover from Covid. Would also like to have been given a dessert menu.

Lovely food spoilt so bit by the poor service

There was just another table for 2 there when I arrived. I had to wait 45 mins to be served overcooked food and undercooked food.

Favourite Indian Restaurant. Food and service both amazing 👏

Excellent food and great service

Whole experience was undermined by staff telling us they had to get back to Manchester. Must of mentioned it 10 times and when they start cleaning and sweeping up on the next table then the message is quickly reminded. Don’t think we will be back for a while. Food was average compared to past visits. There’s another Indian restaurant in heswall that’s getting rave reviews. They can have our £100 a visit from now on.

Ordered drinks at the bar before our meal. 2 beers a bottle of red wine & 1 bottle of rose. Drinks brought to table, rose in ice bucket filled with water, red wine uncorked. After waiting had to ask for red wine to be opened...

Good and prompt service for a Friday night. My lamb vindaloo portion was small, tasty but oily and by no means the hottest vindaloo I have ordered elsewhere. The main issue was the price, Lamb Tikka was £13.95 as opposed to Zeera in Irby which...

Best Indian I've ever been to my absolute favourite by a mile quality of food is second to none gone here for years garlic chilli chicken is my recommendation

The best Indian food around chester, loved the kababs

Good wheelchair access. A ramp up to the front door and plenty of space in the restaurant. The food was some of the best modern Indian food I have had. Good portion sizes, helpful staff and proper Indian food , ie, my tandoori chicken was...

There are a number of Indian restauranst local to us. Barton Rouge is 'ok' but not great. The food is not quite as good as some others locally ( Zeera in Irby, Dine India in Pensby are both better, especially in terms of quality of meat), and the prices in BR are probably 20-60% higher. So although we have been there once or twice, I suspect not likely to return to BR.

This Indian restaurant lives up to the title of my review. Have seen previous reviews in particular one critising the staff. We have found the complete opposite.Helpful knowledgible staff to help translate th emenu and make great recommendations. Food excellent, service subline!

Beautiful food, lovely staff, excellent facilities, safe and comfortable environment recommended.

Very clean,staff great,food was excellent and was pleasantly surprised at the bill,thought it would be far more. Will be going here on a regular basis, Tommy

walked into the place and asked them to serve me what they do best. Lamb it was and it was the chef special dish, a marinated lamb succulently seasoned and cooked to perfection. Also the pappadorms with a choice of 4 sauces were great as...

The food was fantastic as always. Not sure why vinegar is such an issue but chips are very good. The staff are very rude and have no people skills at all. It's clear that they are not happy. This is the 2nd time I have...

Bang average Indian food with premium prices. Drinks also very pricey. Won't be rushing back. There's better Indian food around. That's for sure.

The food had too much oil and lot of food colour which is not usually used by good Indian restaurants.

Having been told by lots of friends about how fabulous the food is at Barton Rouge, we decided to go again, having been before a few years ago, when I had been made to feel an inconvenience over my dairy intolerance. Unfortunately, things haven’t changed…...

First time in this restaurant and we were all pleased with what the experience was like. The place was full and buzzing with atmosphere mainly due to the Xmas party outings, I didn't realise the place was so big but it was as I said...

Great location on a jam packed night , service was a bit slow , we had the tandoori mixed grill , lamb Indian stir fry & chicken tikka masala with sides , Nan bread and drinks . The food was flavoursome, empty plates showed how...

Stopped in for a lazy family Sunday night curry. Food excellent, as were the service, menu choices and decor. All good until the bill arrived. £82 for a light dinner for three, one of which a 12yr old girl? Ouch! If you've got really deep...

Great Indian, lovely food and attentive service. Slightly more expensive than some curry places but worth it. Highly recommended.

Me and 5 of my friends visited last night for a birthday, really friendly staff warm and welcoming, the food was 10/10 absolutely delicious, so tasty, one of the best Indian's I have ever had actually. There was an incident where a plate was dropped...

We had a table of 6 and the service was EXCEPTIONAL! The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was really really nice. Our waiter Rasel was next level! Would highly recommend.

Super tasty food and a great atmosphere! Turns out you don't need to be on Brick Lane in London to taste exceptional Indian cuisine in the UK!

We found the food here excellent and the team very helpful and experienced. We ate as a family and have eaten in many fine India restaurants around the country. This one is up there with some of the best.

First time eating in this restaurant(had takeaway before) and we were not disappointed! absolutely gorgeous, fresh food. The service was great too, very attentive! will be back!

A masterclass in curry and service. Truly exceptional.

Our friends had a booking and at the last minute we went along to see if the could accommodate us. No problem, they set up a table for 4 of us in a few minutes. Our drinks arrived promptly from our friendly waitress and our...

My favourite Indian restraunt in the world love it there service is second to none

Excellent restaurant with excellent food and excellent staff, we will be back

They must have had an off night tonight, because the service was awful. Other people got served before us, who arrived after us, there were very long waits for starters and getting our bill, took ages, which we had to ask for twice. Food was tasty, well most of it, however, due to the inattentive waiter that served us, we shall not be revisiting.

Want an amazing Indian for a night sit down meal or take away, you’ve found the best place for it. Amazing food, jam packed full of flavour and authentic ingredients. The staff are always friendly and the place is always smart and clean. If you go, You’ll have found your new favourite Indian.

Wouldn’t rush back to this restaurant which is a shame considering it was recommended and our first visit. We booked online, on arrival not even asked our name or if we had a booking which is strange on a busy Saturday night? Poppadoms came and...

The most delicious food. Great attentive service & welcome. I'll definitely be back.

A very busy Saturday evening, the service was good but the food was not up to standard. I ordered a Chicken Tikka Bhuna. It was not nice, very sweet and sickly with no spice at all. Described on the menu as “Medium hot”. My Husband...

Thoroughly disappointed with our evening at Barton Rouge, waited for two hours for our starter, by the time our main arrived it was Luke warm, one meal was incorrect, we were constantly asking where our food was, I think they had too many diners and couldn’t cope with the pressure, very expensive, food not up to standard , we will not be returning to this restaurant

Received a take out for my partner and I and as usual hands down the best curry ever eaten. Always fresh, flavoursome and generous portions. Always a pleasure and would never go elsewhere

Great place, better than the other restaurant in Chester

Lovely meal, good level of spice; not too little not too much. Definitely recommend 😊

food was ok... BUT the restaurant was freezing we we sat with our coats on. More worryingly was the bill... We had ordered and CLEARLY Pointed too on our fone as that’s how you look at the menu the wine that we wanted £23 Malbec......

Friendly staff & atmosphere - food could be been a bit less oily

Absolutely delicious!! Lovely staff and restaurant. It was our first time visiting tonight and we can’t wait to come back when we can. Highly recommend trying Barton Rouge.

Very good Indian restaurant. Generous portions. Reasonable prices.

Best curry around! Eat in and takeaway standard is great. Staff are very friendly also. Will definitely be returning! Thanks!

Had a really wonderful curry win this restaurant. Nan bread and chicken tikka bhuna excellent with good staff.

Lovely food and Great service would definitely recommend! We visited today for a birthday and the waiters were brilliant and even brought a surprise birthday cake out and sang! Food delicious, staff friendly and helpful.

Lovely food. Quick service. Good atmosphere. Will defintely go again

Ordered a takeaway and the food was amazing! Not always the case with some places but here it was perfect.

Lovely place, amazing food. Great staff, fast service, nothing is too much trouble. Well organised with good COVID measures in place.

Food great. However, no covid registering of customers contact details or masked staff, and I am served by a waiter who commutes from Manchester whose residents are restricted at the moment. Very worrying

Went with friends on an "Eat Out" night. Restaurant was the busiest that I have ever seen it. Hand sanitiser available. Difficult to socially distance in bar area where we had to wait for our pre booked table. Staff lovely , as usual. Food great,...

Great quality authentic food. Fast service a real treat and opens early so with kids it’s easy but then my 9 yr old likes spicy food.

Excellent food. Great atmosphere. Perfect portion size. Service was a bit slow but well worth the wait!

4 mates. 4 different curries. 4 empty plates at the end of the night. Naans were absolutely huge, wait staff are nice and friendly. A worthy spot to go for some good food.

Lovely food, good service and unhurried. Went with the Mrs for first night out in 6 months for my birthday. We had poppadoms, sharing starter, then mains of “exotic special balti” and mixed tandoori grill. Gave us plenty of time between courses to relax and...

Nice food. In general I can barely move for a while after eating there

Second meal out since lockdown trying the 'Eat Out to Help Out' scheme. Son's girlfriend got some sort of metal/tinfoil stuck in her teeth from her dish and then I got a large hair in my mouth from my food. My dish was then replaced, but just meant that I ate on my own because the rest of the family had finished their meals by the time it came. Complained, but annoyed that management denied the hair had come from the kitchen although it was embedded in the food. We weren't charged for relevant meals, plus got a couple of free drinks, but overall experience was pretty much spoilt even considering the current circumstances. Live over the road from the restaraunt and certainly won't be rushing back.
