Bengal Curry Pot in Wigan

Trust me mate one of the worst food I ever had, last night I had biryani and shami kebab and in what I got tasteless mince kebab and plain rice with no salt and flavour Spent 14.95 wastage and crap

Food was lovely, hot and served in good time.

Lovely meal will be there very soon

Always enjoyed going here feel food is very mediocre these days, maybe the theme evenings are taking over so probably things have got to comfortable.

Food spot on, service it good. I love it here

Great place to get a curry. Been a few times now never been disappointed

Excellent restaurant and takeaway. Customer service is second to none. The manger ( apologies as i cannot remember your name - I'm rubbish with names!) Not only replaced my daughters curry which was just due to a misunderstanding, not an error, bit he also made her a special curry to Tey to offer her what she wanted that wasn't on the menu and replaced the rice and replaced the chips and threw in a nan bread which wasn't even on the original order!!! I've been to the curry pot a good few times amd never had an issue, but to go these lengths over something thatbwasnt their fault just shows you how understanding and customer focused they really are. To add to all thay, the foods bloody fantastic as well and keenly priced with prompt service. Top notch.

Excellent, delicious selection of meals. Beautifully prepared, and spiced perfectly. We live locally, and it is our go to restaurant for a celebratory dinner. The service was above and beyond as always, and I recommend The Curry Pot if you appreciate Asian food.

Came here on Friday with friends, I asked for the Bengal viper ( which is not on the menu yet ) but it was amazing, nice and hot and very tasty, everybody was very satisfied with the food that we ordered, another great experience at the Curry pot, thoroughly recommend.

Had great food and drink, very good service as well. Never had a bad meal well worth a visit.

Got the set meal for 2 to takeaway and it could’ve fed 3 or 4 people! Good food, incredible value Really friendly staff on collection and ready really quickly too!

First time here. Ordered butter chicken, the chicken was dry & just put into a lukewarm sauce. Obviously not cooked together. Quite expensive too. Service was good, but then there only a few in. Won't be returning

Outstanding service and hospitality, food is also good

Excellent service and very welcoming and cordial! Definitely recommend!

Food tasted sugary even the naan ! Worst curry I have ever had !

Great food, great service and great price . We will return

So been coming to the curry pot and getting take aways for years and they have been fantastic, today was a disgrace. Prebooked a table for 5 adults and 2 young children and was left waiting 1 and 1/2 hours before we had to ask what was happening with the food, was told it was busy, more like they have expanded upstairs and the poor kitchen cannot cope (The point of booking a table is so you have a time, good job we didn't have anything else planned afterwards) , suddenly after asking it was ready and on the table in 10 minutes. Food was bland and tasteless (obviously rushed through). Could almost be forgiven if the price matched the quality and service but it most certainly didnt.

Food and service always verygood

I've got to say upon arrival at the Indian which was recommended to us first impressions hectic so was taken upstairs to a side room which consists of 10 tables lt was a very green room very cold I ended up with a severe headache coz all I could see was green asked staff could lighting change ignored my request I at that point wanted to leave my husband is an electrician behind me was a box with wires hanging out which was for the light sign o the wall if anyone was to touch them wires it would be an electric shock made staff aware didn't care then the food came the tandori prawns looked like cut un half and we're just black awful and the balti chilli massla was tasteless looked like they used frozen chicken like rubber we didn't eat it they refused to take if the bill it's a shame could be a good restaurant but money over morals I'm afraid they have no card for the customer and experience staff are not friendly at all look miserable I won't ever retire here and I've tried to contact the owner left messages with staff no reply so if I was you save your money as here is not a pleasant experience

Sub standard food Having spent a lovely day in Ashton we felt that a nice curry was the order of the day! Wrong Possibly the worst tasteless meal I have ever had Bits of chicken chucked in with tomato and lots of chilli! Very bitter and acidic and not a vindallo in the memory of man. Disappointing

Been a few times now service good food fab friendly staff good atmosphere. Lovely restaurant always busy.. Takeaway is only collect only no delivery.. Would recommend..

Absolutely shocking the ignorance was unreal was my birthday and they ignored everything when we spoke to them, snatched money off us for drinks then threw change at us also found a solid half of tooth in my child’s chips. Wouldn’t mind usually a regular

First time we’ve tried this place but the takeaway food was disappointing. Ordered a chicken dansak and a chicken rejalla. Although the food looked good it had very little taste and the meat was very dry just cold meat stirred into a sauce. It was an effort to finish it. It was also quite expensive. Probably won’t be coming back.

Great meal efficient service & lovely staff 👌 recommended for a great curry 🍛

After being recommended this place by family who have been often we decided to give it a try. The atmosphere was very poor it was like a circus. I wanted to leave as soon as we walked in but my family said let’s stay and hope the noise settles down. Spoiler….it didn’t! There were two big tables one with adults and another big table with kids. It looked like a joint party. The noise of the restaurant was shocking. Kids screaming (not even babies) KIDS. We couldn’t talk across the table with each other we had to shout. Eat in silence because shouting to eat other was just too much hard work. Not sure how many times we say can you repeat that. Kids running around our table. It was absolutely shocking. We were glad our food came quick so we could eat and get out. Food was nice despite the atmosphere. But just feel like it ruined our night out because of the noise. I’ve been to many restaurants but nothing compared to that meal and the sourroundings. I obviously hope that it was a one off. It’s just a shame it was our first time visiting and had a crappy night.

was told the food here was brilliant, it was ok.one of the main staff in particular was really grumpy and not at all welcoming to us.wont bother again.

Food ànd service wa. Excellent, fault less but could of had a slightly bettér atmosphere.

Been going to this restaurant for years and has always been the best curry in the borough of Wigan. Tonight my daughter and myself had our usual, Chicken Korma and Chicken Chilliwala. The daughters Korma was not the usual thick coconut sauce but a watery version without the deep coconut flavor. As for mine, it is usually a dark red sauce and thick texture. Tonight it was watered down to an orange colour sauce and lacking flavor apart from the cooked chillies. I compared my dish with the one I took a photo in the summer and the colour difference is very evident.

Really good food service was ace lovely people and even had a sing along at the end of the evening

Good food and service. It was very quiet though on Sunday when we were there.

The Curry Pot used to be THE best in Ashton and maybe Wigan but sadly not anymore. We’ve been mainly takeaway customers since it opened. Occasional restaurant meal with families. Staff always friendly and good service. However the last 3 takeouts way below usual standard. The last one very poor. For a medium heat chicken tikka dopiaza it was totally bland and flavourless and watered down. It consisted of a weak base sauce, a couple of chunks of pepper but mainly a watery sauce and just 5 small pieces of chicken. Dopiaza is known as ‘Double onion’ for its onion rich sauce, it was hardly noticeable. This is ‘shrinkflation’ for sure. Onion bhajis were smaller too but flavour ok… Third time disappointed with a takeaway. Very sad. Prices have increased which I totally agree with but if you wish to retain custom, don’t dilute the curries! I really do hope they take more of these reviews. I’ll make my own from now on!

Absolute amazing..the hospitality from start to finish was spot on..the curry dish were absolutely delicious..You want a fantastic curry look no further..this is the place!!

Always have good food when eating here

We have been going here since it opened. And even had family and friends come out of town off of our recommendations. Since having a child with needs we cannot get out much but we get take aways. Tonight the food was below par by far. The food was obviously rushed. The mint sauce was watered down so much it ran off the poperdoms. My usual chicken tikka rongpur was also watered down and tasted nothing like it usually does. Please stop, don't risk loosing customers over saving stock. This food was not what we know and expect from you

This used to be our usual haunt but we haven't been able to go as much since having a Baby. Ordered our usual. The mint sauce was quite evidently watered down, yoghurt should not run like water. My only every curry chicken tikka rongpur was sooo watered down it tasted completely different. Please don't distroy what was the best Indian restaurant by cutting corners. What you save on stock you will loose In customers

Food excellent, all our party of 4 enjoyed our meal, service was great even though the place was full, with a few Christmas parties going on. Staff were lovely and despite being so busy, were very attentive. Will deffinately be returning.

Food was amazing , best I've eaten in a long time ,

We had a fantastic experience here. Great food at a realistic price and terrific service to match. Ample portions and spicy without being too hot.

Called in the hope of a table for 2 - we hadn’t booked. We were shown to a table & offered the menu & drinks list. For starters we shared popadoms & ‘dip board’ & was very nice. We also shared onion bhajis & I requested they be extra crispy (don’t like the ‘paste’ often found in middle) & request was fulfilled. So no problems with starters For our mains hubby had Tikka Masala & I opted for ‘butter chicken’ The sauces on both were very nice & hubby’s tandoori chicken was good if a little dry. Unfortunately my tandoori chicken was very dry. Am glad we only ordered one portion of pilau rice to share as we would have wasted much of it especially as the portion size of our mains was perhaps over generous For drinks hubby had a lager shandy & I had a white wine spritzer. We finished with a white rum liqueur coffee (me) & a cappuccino (hubby). Although they tasted ok they were not made quite as we expected - cappuccino wasn’t very frothy on top & liqueur coffee was not topped with cream but stirred in Overall we enjoyed our meal & staff were very attentive & offered an end of meal ‘shot’ on the house (we decided not to have).

Great food,great service,great fun night out watching a tribute act,I will definitely be returning

Lovley curry and a nice place 👌

Lovely vibe and food was delicious. Very busy restaurant. Staff was brilliantly prepared for the busyness of the place. Will definitely visit again

10 of us went after Go Karting this evening. The food was spot on and the staff friendly and accommodating.

First time visit, but will definitely go again. Went for their special Weds/Sun offer 3-course offer and wasn't disappointed. Almost all items on their regular menu were available, and the description for each item made it easier to decide. Each course was very tasty, and portions were more than enough. Poppadoms, starter, main and a side were all very good. I also overheard the waiters advising other customers, which was nice to see. Also good to see was the manager getting stuck in with service...clearing plates, delivering food, etc. Thank you all, it was very enjoyable and definitely recommended.

Food and Staff were unbelievable for our food there. If you get a chance please stop by and you won't be disappointed 👍👍

Amazing food and service 10/10 cannot fault them!! Everything delicious the staff are lovely and so friendly. I mentioned I like a sauce with the popadoms and they came over with a pot for me to take home. So kind!! Defiantly coming again :)

Love this place! Food freshly made and always amazing. The lamb just melts in your mouth.The waiters/ waitresses are very attentive, friendly and professional, nothing is too much trouble. Very reasonably priced too

Fantastic food, all well cooked, presentation was lovely. Excellent value for money. Really attentive and friendly staff

Excellent food, possibly the best curry I've had.I had superb onion bhaji a chicken karai. Very good service. A lovely restaurant.

Delicious, Delicious, Delicious. 6 of us ate, food was piping hot, really tasty. Friendly staff, clean environment. Overall lovely experience 👌

Takeaway. Delivered within 40 mins and the food was delicious!!

Excellent food. Swift polite service.

Great food. Eat in or takeway. Fridays and Saturdays can get very busy so pre book

Nice and relaxed very friendly staff that look after you and food delish and good potion sizes 👍

Would highly recommend....Great food and excellent atmosphere.

Service was so slow Concentrated on takeaways. Took 10 mins get a drink.

Amazing food, very friendly staff. Highly recommended restaurant …..

Lovely food and friendly staff.

3 of us ate in at the beginning of February. The service was very slow and disorganised. The wait for drinks and in between courses was complete unacceptable. Despite this the food was ok, but very small portions which is not what we have previously experienced when ordering takeaway after it was recommended to us. As our usual Indian takeaway has recently closed, we decided to give it another chance last night. We placed a telephone order for collection. They advised the waiting time was an hour. Ok, we accepted that, our choice. However, after arriving to collect an hour later as advised, we had to wait another 40 mins. We asked on 2 occasions about the food and delay. Each time we were told it would be a couple of minutes. Make your own mind up😊 We then

Had another great meal. Really helpful with the gluten free options for my daughter

Have visited before, but on this occasion found it to be noisy and not like a restaurant , more canteen like ". Disappointed .

Run of the mill Indian but probably the best in Ashton-in-Makerfield

A lovely Indian restaurant with excellent food served. The music artist tribute acts are fantastic and guarantee a top night to remember.

Great Indian cuisine. Efficient staff. Good location

Go here when back in Ashton. Had Xmas meet up here with 33 people. Service was brilliant and food as always superb.

Food is always good, this was an Elton John tribute night and as usual we had a good time

Just had a collection order from here. Madras and balti taste identical. Neither had any heat to them and both were swimming in oil. No flavour in anything. Real shame because this place came recommended, but honestly it went in the bin and we've just ordered from somewhere else. If you like Indian food, go somewhere else, because this isn't it. we basically got what looked like a poonami in a foil carton.

Starters came out just warm. Made it up with a new starter which was hot. Pint of cobra was flat. Main course - korma, tasted of pure coconut and no korma flavour. Cheesy, garic naan. Extremely bland. Rogan josh - suppose to be medium. Blew my head off after being told it was only medium. Never had a problem at any other Indian. Disappointed, heard great things but wont be returning.

Food was fantastic. Staff very friendly love this place one of my favourite places to eat

Food was brill. Chips were fries which was the only negative Got the curry pot but next time I’d go for a standard curry.

Quality. Have used the Bengal curry pot a number of times. Always good service and reasonably priced.

Lovely food. Helpful staff. Really enjoyed

Staff very frienly and attentive. Good food and place clean. They have special offers on during the week and on a Sunday. Had a very tasty chicken tikka Chilliwallia with rice. Very good selsction of dishes. Able to park nearby but you have to look for these places to park.

Excellent food - can't fault it

Wouldn't go anywhere else, beautiful food every time hot and delicious. Staff are professional and very helpful.

Fantastic find on a recent visit after Haydock races, restaurant was full but service was impeccable and the waiters are efficient and speedy. Delicious food, and really great value for money. We had the set menu for 2 and swapped a couple of bits out which was no trouble at all. Great restaurant

Went for the first time last night after racing at Haydock. Recommended by locals in nearby pub. I would travel here again just for the food and the friendly service. Food was excellent, good prices and staff were amazing. They tried to order a cab for us which didn’t arrive after many recalls. We were stranded and one of the staff drove us home to our hotel. Unbelievable. Credit to Ashton and that community. Please visit and support this local business. They deserve it.

Over prices, very little meet content. Won't be going again

Me and my hubby came here last night for the first time. Starters we had a mixed started and some lamb tandoori chops. Some of the best chips iv had. We had a tandoori chickengarlica highley recommend . We will definitely be back. Thanks for the great food and service mossala and team

Fantastic Indian in Ashton. Came with my husband and daughter (her choice) never been before but was pleasantly surprised. We got the 3 courses for £11.95 & £7.95 for kids (Sunday) it was beautiful. Firstly we had popadums with chutneys. Then We had chicken chaat, mixed starter & chicken tikka starter. Then for mains we had korma, chicken tikka and a garlic Waller which was hot all food was fresh and so tasty!! Staff were friendly and attentive. Will 100% be returning

Great food and wines 🍷 great menu friendly staff

We've tried pretty much every single Indian we know of within our area over the last few years and can honestly say this one blows them all out of the water. We actually put off trying here at first, as we thought that it was just a dine-in restaurant, but when we realised you could call and pick up for takeaway we jumped right on it, and never looked back since! We now go to this place every couple of weeks, excellent service and food. Food is always fresh with really succulent meats and fresh veg and natural sauces. Always red hot when picking up too, fresh off the grills and kept nicely. We always find we end up with extra free stuff too, whether its free starters or free beers. Not sure this is part of how much we spend or just a nice 'thank you' for our loyal custom, but who cares if it's free right? Price wise it's pretty great too, for the portions we get. We normally spend around £16-£20, and have 3 meals from the food we order, and we're always full to the brim after it and never finish it all! Highly recommend!

Descent Indian food in a restaurant where pictures of Venice’s Rialto bridge is part of the decor, or much ambiance to speak of. The food is ok but lacked some spice and complexity to it. Service was very good, albeit some language difficulties along the way.

Lovely place top food freindly staff 👍

Excellent curry, good service. I would say it's the best in the area. Couldn't recommend more!

Very very good meal service was fast and smooth good atmosphere will be going again soon

Had a really nice meal here with friends. Food good overall. Beer selection not great, but that's usually the case with curry restaurants. Little bit noisy with loud music. I'd expect this on a weekend, but not mid week.

Had a great night performing as Meat Loaf and the clientelle and customers were brilliant

Always warm lovely food, never had a problem the service is always quick and the staff are always nice upon collection- adding in free items when you spend a certain amount which is a nice touch

Had a takeaway for 5 last night which was in place of a reservation cancelled due to coronavirus. The quality was as good as eating in the restaurant. Full marks to the Curry Pot for their effort in rising to the challenge and with no price hiking. When the current situation is resolved and the restaurant is open again give the guys your support. Again well done Curry Pot.

I love going here for a meal and the takeaway never disappoints either. The portions are spot on and you’re never ridiculously over faced like you can be at some restaurants. The feed always tastes great and the service is always friendly. Would recommend.

Enjoyed a fantastic curry here, staff were amazing. Was looked after by entri ? Not sure of the right spelling, but a lovely experience and we’ll be back again soon

Love this curry house food always tastes and reasonably priced ,love the theme nights everyone always has a good time defomy fav Indian Bangladeshi 😋

Not rhe best curry I've had. First one arrived cold, this was exchanged and second one was mostly sauce, still not warm with about two lumps of chicken in it. Very disappointed. Interior is OK although the set-up around the counter looks wrong with huge speakers (more like a nightclub) and you can see boxes stacked up everywhere. I doubt I'd return. It was reasonably priced I suppose but others are better.

First time here - overall just ok. Food wasn’t awful but have had better in alot of other places. Wasn’t clean either - splatters of curry on the plate warmers, the popadom plastic bowls, cutlery the same bits of curry in the handle grooves . Staff were lovely , and it was really busy (not sure if due to the Sunday meal deal) but not somewhere I’d rush back to.

Best curry house round here. Great food, service and atmosphere. 6 stars

Great food, but very noisy, some very loud people.

Good food and reasonably priced.

We came for a family members birthday and had a great time. The food was all excellent, good price. The staff were attentive and helpful (in spite of how busy it was). Will definitely be back soon, thanks for a great evening!

Absolutely amazing from start too finish. Never tasted indian like it. Absolutely unreal spot
