Barton Rouge in Liverpool

Ouch, pricy! This has been our bi-monthly go-to for years. But prices have really shot up - especially for drinks: £10 for a glass of average rosé wine and £49 for a bottle of Valipolicella Ripasso is a bit steep. Even good Italian restaurants only charge around £30-£35 for this.

The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance. The service is decent, and the quality of the food is satisfactory, offering an overall average dining experience.

We came on Easter Sunday and the restaurant was half full. Decor is nice and bright. My meal, Shashlik Karahi Chicken, came lukewarm. I didn't ask anyone else at the my table about their food, but nobody commented or complimented on the food. When we finished the food the table was never cleared of the dishes, even when we asked for the bill they just brought the bill without cleaning the table, however, didn't forget to add £20 tips.

Not great food or service. Would not return to this establishment. I had the chicken tikka masala. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland.

Ordered a curry that specified certain vegetables. A curry arrived with completely different vegetables. Didn't mind as was pleasant enough, but when we mentioned it to the waiter he gaslighted us by telling us that's the curry we ordered, even though the vegetables were completely different from what the menu stated. Literally lied to our faces saying these are the vegetables on the menu. Wouldn't give us the menu again though to point out he was wrong. Incredible behaviour.

My daughter booked Barton Rouge in Liverpool for Mother's Day as we had previously had a great time at the chain's outlet in Chester. Nice decor, bit cool in the main room but think we all preferred that to it being too hot. Food was decent, starters were a bit minimalist and served up with little salad/side dish. We had Chicken Chatt, Onion Bahjis and a Chicken Pakora. All very palatable either way but would have liked some lettuce/lemon/tomato/cucumber or similar to balance the spice (of the Chatt). Main courses again all delicious and served up in normal bowls, nothing too arty like the picture used on here! We had 4 different mains, rice and naan breads and all very edible and nice. Drinks - 3 of the party of 4 on soft drinks and just 3 pints of Cobra alcohol wise. Generally we all drank 2 bottles of tap water between us. The kids had actually offered to pay the bill until we saw it was for nearly £145 quid! They had added on the service charge of 10% themselves (we were fine with that on this occasion as the servers were all attentive and nice - perhaps because it was so quiet!!). Overall, good food but too expensive. Understand that it is in a City Centre and current costs are difficult for hospitality trade but, IMO there are better options within walking distance for quality and value for money.

Ate earlier than normally would (6pm) but was before Liverpool match. So relatively empty. Had excellent spicy mixed kebab starter. And good Shaahi Chicken (including mincemeat) with Peshawar Naan. Bit expensive though

Very welcoming and accommodating: facilitated large group at short notice. Good service. Be careful with spiciness: quite a few of us noted our dishes to be considerably hotter than when we'd had the same meal in other restaurants. But food good quality.

Terrible uninterested staff. Slow to take our order and overall just a really poor experience. Food was just okay but it was like eating out at Fawlty Towers. Will never be back here again…charging for poppodums & dips, catch a grip guys that should be complimentary.

Had read the reviews before booking, so was very disappointed there was no atmosphere, it was very quiet and expensive, bill was over £100 for 2 of us and we onky had one drink. Will not be going again.

Great Indian restaurant and the is lovely

Not many in when we went so atmosphere could have been better. Service was good until we needed to pay the bill and that was slow,so had to find someone. Lovely food but the chips were smothered in salt which spoilt it for me.

Very good but expensive considering the portions.

A bit pricey and service was a little slow but the food was really good. I'd go back 😊

Nice food. Good service. A big space with little atmosphere.

Second time we've been there when visiting Liverpool. Food was excellent. Beautifully spiced onion bahjis to die for. Cannot fault it. Partner said it was the best garlic chilli chicken she's ever had.

Service and Meal was excellent. Food is tasty and arrives in good time. All staff are so friendly and attentive. Great value for money, this place deserves far more recognition, a hidden gem in Liverpool. Will definitely be back

Gorgeous food would recommend 110% excellent value for money Onion bhaji and chicken pakora's delicious

The ambience is great, and the food quantity was also good. We ordered biriyani but it was a little bit overlooked for my liking. They have great service and the budget is a little over but ok.

Fine establishment with wonderful food and staff

Lovely food in a nice environment Starters and mains really tasty. Would defintinely visit again and recommend to anyone who enjoys Indian food

Below average indian restaurant. We had a couple of popadums , saw on the bill later they charge extra ( £3.95 ) for the accompanying sauces …? We didn’t actually order them so just a bit odd to charge for something we didn’t order. ! Starters was prawn on puri , well that has got to be one of the tastiest starters ever , unfortunately not here , smallest imaginable portions ( 3 tiny mouthfuls and it was gone , not much in the way of prawn ,puri flat and chewy,no fresh coriander, just plain boring …. £9.95 a head , very pricey for this poor starter … Mushroom pilau rice : ONE piece of mushroom in the complete bowl of basic pilau rice , same with egg pilau rice , just a few tiny bits of eggs thrown in normal pilau . Very poor rice dishes , these should be stir fried with the ingredients we ordered but weren’t. Butter chicken was tough and only 4 pieces of meat in an uninspired gloopy sauce … we had high hopes reading some of the reviews but were bitterly disappointed on the night. Service was ok to be fair but does not compensate for the poor and lukewarm food we were offered. Also toilets were not clean and are in need of a good freshen up. Would not go back or recommend.

The experience was excellent start to finish. Staff are friendly, ambience modern, clean and fresh. Importantly, the food was outstanding. I recommend the shared starter - a choice if items from the menu. I'm glad I turned diwn the appetiser, chutneys and poppadoms because the starter and main were more than sufficient. I had to have an alternative to my chosen main (Lamb Shank) but the lamb offered was excellent. My companion chose from the Himalayan menu and was not disappointed. Add in a couple of sauces, plain and cheese nan breads and a plain boiled rice and there was a banquet to he had. Everything had great flavour, was well cooked (not seemingly reheated) and lived up to the menu discription. I'd enthusiastically recommend and shall return.

Excellent food, friendly and efficient service. Good value for money. Lots of vegetarian options and everything clearly indicated. Pleasant decor and ambiance.

Excellent food. Friendly waiters. Reasonable prices. Nothing at all to fault. Highly recommended! Tucked away a bit, but search it.

Absolutely lovely meal/service food was delicious to the point of being 5 star clean friendly staff couldn't have been nicer

Absolutely lovely food and plenty of it. Everything was cooked perfectly. Staff very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend to anyone. 10/10

Fantastic Indian just off Chapel street , little bit obscure from view but don’t be put off it’s huge inside , staff fantastic food excellent best King Prawns tasted in an Indian restaurant , don’t disappoint your taste buds seek this place out

Can honestly say we was so looking forward to coming here for my sons 40th birthday. Travelled over 250 miles to celebrate in Liverpool and this was our last evening. They forgot 2 meals. The birthday boys and another. Their excuse was short staffed. Very...

Having only two staff doing the work really should have set alarm bells ringing. The service was slow, starters disappointing, orders incorrect, and main course below average. Would not recommend or return.

Absolutely 100% unbelievable, would recommend this restaurant , I was advised to go by a friend and will definitely be going back

Visited this restaurant for the first time whilst in Liverpool for a conference. Everything about it, service, food and price are perfect - really can’t fault it and will definitely recommend to people going to Liverpool and will revisit whenever I’m back there.

Me and my partner for her 40th decided to have a night out in Liverpool, having looked at reviews we decided to pick this restaurant. We booked online 5:30 reservation and we had read the menu and chosen what we wanted. We arrived with no...

We ate here as a large group on a trip to Liverpool on a Saturday night. The food was really tasty and there was lots of choice. The staff were very helpful even with the large group and the service was good. The restaurant itself...

Very enjoyable meal in lovely surroundings. Staff were friendly, service was quick, food was lovely and there was plenty of choice.

Excellent indian food and nice staff. Probably top-10 indian food by taste. We got a nice table without booking on a Fridas. 5 people and ok price.

We went to this Indian whilst visiting Liverpool. It was one of the best Indians we have been to. Food was lovely and fresh. Very clean place. Great service. Reasonably priced and even my picky daughter enjoyed it. Would definitely return again

The food is absolutely delicious. Possibly the best Indian meal I’ve ever had and I’ve been hooked on this cuisine since the early 80s. Nice setting, nice staff, incredible food.

After checking the website and TripAdvisor we called to reserve a table at 8 o’clock. Nobody picked up the phone so we called that the restaurant is shut whether it’s shut permanently or not I don’t know but it certainly was not open on the...

We made a reservation for tonight, unfortunately upon arrival we saw it was closed. Double checked on the website which clearly says open every day, so very annoyed.

Food so nice , lovely staff and great service. Only thing myself and friends would ask is to have cheese on the cheese garlic nan. As was very little on the nan. Everything else was amazing tasty.

Worst management and food! Staffs very rude. Served appetisers and then we waited for an hour for the mains to come. When asked said “2mins” every time. Food was very odd tasting. Nothing close to regular Indian food. They said they make food as per British taste and we should have mentioned to them we want authentic Indian tasting food. One staff just dropped gravy on my friend accidentally and just left. Without even offering her tissue or anything to clean up. Had a disturbing evening! Never going back.

We went there at 9.45 pm. Orders were taken an 10. We got our food at 11.30!!!! We had to ask 3 times for food. We had 2 kids with us. Despite that, the food was terrible. I am so sorry to use this adjective on food but it was worse than terrible. It had spices not blended in, everything was just not eatable. None of us could finish our food. In a long while we did not have anything this bad. When we told them about the food they did not seem to care. And the behaviour was so unprofessional. As if our views did not matter. Very unprofessional. Would never recommend them. Food expensive for quantity size and taste (i cannot forget how terrible it was)

Delicious Indian food! Great specials

Was fantastic food 😋 first class thanks to our taxi driver great call .service was excellent really recommend it highly. ❤️

Staff were attentive, our table was a bit wobbly, nothing was too much trouble so we moved to a normal table. Menu is extensive, food was excellent 👍

Curry was amazing. Nice restaurant. Very satisfied.

Large group of us were accommodated at the last minute by friendly staff. Naan bread was really tasty, but I thought my main was a bit bland. The majority of the group really enjoyed their meals though so gave 4* instead of 3*.

Visited for the first time with a group of friends. We often go to the Barton Rouge, Chester, so this was an opportunity to compare the two restaurants.. Its a large restaurant with welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. We all enjoyed our selection from the wide menu and the pricing was reasonable. The curries etc. were slightly different to Chester, some different spices and flavours, all most enjoyable. They dont do the massive 'elephant ear' style nan breads like Chester, but the smaller ones were OK. We all enjoyed our fist experience at Barton Rouge Liverpool, and will probably visit again...

Really nice Indian, open till 11.30pm Staff really welcoming and helpful Terrific food too

First time I've been to this restaurant and it was well worth the visit. Lovely food in pleasant surroundings, I'll definitely be back.

Delay food. Doesn’t taste good. Worst customer management. We ordered our food and after an hour waiting we only got our appetizer. While the table coming after us all get to eat. We decided to leave but the waiter insist that we pay all the food we ordered and wait for them to pack it (take ages). The waiter is rude. When we complain about how we didn’t get the food while the other all got it, he said it’s because “it’s Saturday night” and we ordered too much! (Which doesn’t make sense at all) After we’ve tried the food, it doesn’t taste as good as the reviews said. Chicken tikka is so sweet it feels like eating some dessert! Even a menu like chicken nugget is below standard. Wouldn’t recommend. Won’t come again, ever.

Great food and service plenty of room loads of tables would think it could seat over a 100 people, it is closed on a Monday

It was excellent. Great staff, wonderful food and a really nice atmosphere. Portions were huge and we had to have a take away

Starters arrived..kebab and samosas..beautiful...nice and hot..mains arrived..one dish hot the other had to be sent back as only just warm..and item missing (egg)...when it came back..the egg was cold and the dish was still only warm...ruined my meal and left very disappointed 😞

The food was very delicious.. The Blend of spices were very good.. this Indian looked like a real Indian… must have

Lovely restaurant but the food was a miss. If you like a challenge then go for it! Don't order your usual dish. It will come out way too hot. Not an enjoyable experience....

Our group of eight visited last night ,we all were delighted with the meals. The staff were excellent, attentive, and charming. We would definitely recommend a visit and like us booking a return very soon.

It was a very cold restaurant, we waited for about an hour before our dinner was served and the food was disappointing in terms of our expectations.

Delicious food and quick service. We went in early, so first to be served! Ideal if you love a traditional Indian restaurant

Superb. Helpful friendly staff and fantastic food. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous food and service, will be back x

Fabulous food , the only downside is we were waiting for a fair bit between arriving getting drinks placing our order and then getting it . Cannot fault the service aside for that . Food was very very tasty and with generous portions .

One of a large party to celebrate my nephews 30th birthday. Staff were very courteous, friendly, informative and very organised. Meal was very tasty and a really good size portion. Highly recommend.

Friendly welcoming staff. Lively decor and food amazing

Super delicious food. Absolutely loved the interiors and ambience of the restaurant. Good portion size too.

Wow! Pretty good experience.. Especially rice, onion bhaji and papadam was very good.... The decoration of salad was beautiful.... Loved it 😁😂

Second time eating here, a must visit when we're in Liverpool. Lovely food!

Absolutely loved my visit here. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The food was amazing. Barton Rouge is definitely the place to go for authentic Indian cuisine in Liverpool

The best curry we have had. Restaurant is immaculately clean and the staff professional and polite. Will defiantly return when we come back to Liverpool

Beautiful meal,great service,restaurant is immaculate,lots of very attentive staff cleaning as they go,spotless toilets,can't fault the place.

Pay slightly more but very tasty!

Tried to be something it's not. Typically average and predictable.

Fantastic Indian food and friendly staff. We were staying close by so we ordered takeaway. The staff were very helpful and when the food wasn’t quite ready when they said it would be, they threw in a bit extra. Really delicious and memorable food.

The best Indian food I have tasted anywhere, including India.

10/10 great service unbeatable food.

The best garlic chilli chicken masala my husband has ever had. So flavoursome. I loved the prawn puri as it was well presented.

Stunning food, attentive staff and welcoming atmosphere. Will be back again soon!!

Best curry I've had in a while. Service was a bit slow but maybe they were understaffed, the quality of food made up for it.

Barton Rouge is the best Indian Restaurant in Liverpool. The prices are great in comparison with the quantity, absolutely love their service.

So great to be back in this fab restaurant after being closed for the last 5 months. Absolutely delicious starters best tandoori lamb chops and chicken chat. Mains of Lamb pepper fry was as tasty as ever and the lamb was so tender you could have cut it with a spoon. Hubby had Tandoori butter chicken we shared a rice and peshawri naan all washed down with a great bottle of Sauvignon blanc. There were no delays with the food and the service as always was very attentive. Good COVID measures in place with staff all wearing masks correctly and great space between tables with customers eating at the same time to us. We have never had a bad meal or service here and we will be back soon.

Due to past reviews we were really looking forward to eating here. Starters were fine and quick to be served. My husband and I both ordered Madras. Mine a king prawn and his was chicken. I know many currys are tomatoe based but our dishes were more suited to an Italian restaurant. Edible but not Madras dishes. I highlighted this to our waiter in a polite way, who shrugged his shoulders and said 'I wrote down Madras what more can I do?'. Well what more can I say!

Food absolutely disgusting! I would have must rather bought my curry from Aldi. This place can't even do the basics for an Indian restaurant, for example they can't make fresh naan bread and think its ok to serve warmed-up naan bread out of a packet. Do not waste your money or time in this place. Crap food, absolute CRAP!

Last night was like amateur hour in this place. Took one hour to take the order. My starter never arrived when everyone else’s did. After 15 minutes I asked where it was and it was brought out stone cold so I sent it back. Main took another hour to arrive, which was also cold but I didn’t care as I was starving so I had it anyway. Some of the breads never arrived even though we asked for them again. Everyone around us was having the same problems with service, cold food and missing items. Complained to the manager who did knock a small amount off the bill. A fair price would have been about 1/3 of the bill. I never usually bother leaving reviews but thought I’d make an exception after last nights fiasco. Food was ok, service was terrible, wouldn’t recommend. Better places to spend your money.

Never ever have I witnessed anything like this before in a restaurant outside of kitchen nightmares.Poor service staff running like headless chicken. Taking nearly 2 hours to bring out starters and over 2 hours to bring out mains of which one was burnt and the other cold. Felt bad for the poor service staff. There was no manager seen. A couple waited over 1 and a half hours next to us and left as the lady was heavily pregnant. Think some staggering of table booking and more leadership would have made this less painful. Will not visit again.

The food was Ok but I have had better. Staff friendly service good but the food was average.

He estado visitando este restaurante desde que abrió, y la consistencia del excelente servicio, comida y bebida siempre me sorprende.La comida es exquisita y cocinada con un alto nivel con una variedad de sabores de varias regiones de la India. Este es el único lugar donde pediré cordero, sabiendo que la carne es de alta calidad y asado a la perfección.Mis recomendaciones son cordero a la pimienta frita, pollo nagpur, chuletas de cordero y pollo fantasma con miel, para aquellos que aman las especias.¡Gracias por cuidarme a mí mismo, a mis amigos y colegas como si fuéramos invitados en su casa!

Great service with a delicious Vegetable Sam we and the creation of coriander rice into the pilau rice. Large restaurant that could be easily missed from the street.

Reservé esto después de revisar las críticas en TA. No me decepcionó.Es un restaurante más exclusivo, con estilo y ambiente. Bueno para una cita. Todas las mesas estaban bien espaciadas y todos los servidores seguían perfectamente las reglas de COVID. Este no es un restaurante indio "un agujero en la pared".Tenían cerveza india local que es agradable, y te dan popadoms y salsas al sentarte. El servicio fue atento y no agobiante. No teníamos prisa y nos acomodaron en ese sentido.Las opciones de menú eran amplias y la comida era increíble y generosa en porciones.El costo no fue caro considerando el estilo, el ambiente, etc.Lo recomiendo encarecidamente. Bien hecho ?

Estuve trabajando en el área por segunda semana, y probé este lugar por segunda vez, y puedo confirmar un establecimiento definitivo de 5 estrellas. Una vez más, Zak estuvo en el servicio de mesa y entregó los productos. .Si estás en la zona merece la pena una visita. No te decepcionará.

Really good food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Somos clientes habituales franceses de este maravilloso restaurante y no podríamos estar más encantados. Solíamos viajar por todo el mundo y podemos decir, con seguridad, que Barton Rouge es único en su clase. Cada plato que probamos fue delicioso y maravillosamente cocinado. ¡Una verdadera joya! ¡Y mención especial para los simpáticos camareros!

Came here Saturday evening, the lamb chops were amazing & my other half loved the curry he ordered, staff were lovely , this is without doubt the best Indian restaurant in Liverpool.

La comida decepcionante en general no estuvo a la altura de su alta calificación en Trip Advisor.Probablemente el peor indio en el que he estado.Se acabó la cerveza de barril y Proseco.Tuve que pedir dos veces el mismo pedido, entrante y principal igual Curry era insípido.

Never visited Liverpool until today and decided to eat at Barton Rouge. Now I've eaten many good curries in my time but the meal I had earlier was the finest I've ever enjoyed. The depth of flavour and service was excellent. Next time I visit this wonderful city I'll be making my way here. 10 out of 10. Thanks to all who work there. You really do care...

As good as the cinnamon club will be back

We visited as a couple having high expectations of Indian restaurants with our local at home being excellent. Barton rouge did not disappoint. Some different curries on the menu that were tasty with no grease and the best Nan bread I have ever had.

Reservé una mesa para 6 personas un martes por la noche a las 7:30 pm.Llegamos a las 7:25 y nos sentamos enseguida - los menús ya estaban en la mesa (que estaba preparada para 10 personas, extraño pero lo que sea).Mirando el menú y charlando entre nosotros, casi no nos dimos cuenta de cuánto tiempo habíamos esperado para pedir una bebida o cualquier cosa para comer, pero cuando miré la hora eran las 7:55 y nadie se había acercado a nuestra mesa. Fueron necesarios diez minutos más para llamar la atención de un camarero. Finalmente, un hombre se acercó y preguntó si estábamos listos para pedir bebidas; dijimos que estábamos listos para pedir todo, en ese momento se escapó y tuvimos que esperar 5 minutos más para que viniera alguien más.Las bebidas finalmente llegan de 10 a 15 minutos después de haberlas pedido. La mayoría de nosotros pedimos una pinta de cobra. La cabeza de la cerveza debe haber sido aproximadamente una cuarta parte del vaso, antes de que las bebidas se hubieran dejado en la barra durante mucho tiempo, así que cuando llegaron solo estaban llenas las tres cuartas partes. Se olvidó una botella grande de agua que habíamos pedido, pero se estrelló contra la mesa una vez que se lo recordó (sin vasos).Los entrantes se sirvieron sospechosamente rápido dado el tiempo que habíamos esperado para ordenar. Los bhajis de cebolla estaban bien, pero solo tibios. Habríamos esperado tener un poppadom antes de cualquier entrante; tuve que recordarle al camarero que habíamos pedido poppadoms. Finalmente los trajeron, pero los enviamos de regreso porque estaban rancios y masticables.Los platos principales estaban bien al final, pero tardaron unos 45 minutos en llegar, casi me sentí más mal por la mesa de dos sentados a nuestro lado que habían esperado más de una hora solo por dos platos principales y arroz.La guinda del pastel de una noche decepcionante fue cuando recibimos la factura y nos cobraron por un plato que pedimos pero que nunca recibimos y el descuento Eat Out to Help Out solo se había aplicado para 4 personas en lugar de 6. Me acerqué al gerente para informarle sobre los errores; se ofreció a quitar el plato que faltaba pero discutió conmigo sobre el descuento de EOTHO, diciendo que solo habíamos pedido 4 platos principales (habíamos pedido 5, así como 4/5 guarniciones) . Como trabajador de un restaurante, soy muy consciente de que no es necesario que pidas un plato principal para calificar para el descuento, ¡solo estaba tratando de sacarme! Hemos usado EOTHO en una cafetería solo para tomar un par de tragos, por lo que toda la idea del plato principal es totalmente falsa, además de que el gobierno reembolsa el descuento para que no salga del bolsillo del restaurante. ¿Por qué discutir? ! ? ! ?En este punto estaba muy agitado. El gerente finalmente me quitó el descuento merecido y me dio la excusa de que el clima es malo y el personal no podía viajar desde Manchester para explicar por qué el servicio era lento.¡Nunca más!

visité aquí anoche por segunda vez y la comida y el servicio fueron excelentes. Se hizo muy concurrido a medida que avanzaba la noche, sin embargo, la comida y el nivel del servicio se vieron afectados. Ir a Indian para nosotros en Liverpool gracias a todos sin duda vale la pena una visita. Buenas medidas de covid en su lugar también
