Bibiana Lounge in Ashfield

Apologise to the delivery driver for the misunderstanding. Food amazing

First time at Bibiana tonight (25/09/2024) and wow… what can we say… Everything we ordered was seasoned perfectly and tasted amazing. There is not one thing that we ordered that we wouldn’t order again. When the bill came we couldn’t believe how good value it was for the quality of food that we had eaten. To top it all off- the service was absolutely impeccable. Mohammed couldn’t do enough for us and made us feel so welcome. This review does not do justice to how amazing the food and service is at Bibiana. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic brilliant the food was just as good as eating in enjoyed every bit of it

Honestly the best Indian food in the whole of Nottingham thank you Bibiana . I will be nominating for food awards

Great tasting food and delivered hot!

Went here with some friends the food was lovely and the waiting staff were very friendly, but the place was dirty, from spiders (more than 5) that was above our table cobwebs and the spiders actually coming down onto the table to filthy carpets which really let this place down. We had already booked a table here and arranged to meet our friends here, first impressions wasnt good when the first thing you see is dirty carpets if this had stopped at the front door it could have been said this was just people coming and going but the stair treads going to the upstairs was disgusting. It always worries me that if front of house is this dirty what is the kitchen like

We’ve had a few take-away from this place over the last few years. Last weekend we decided to actually meal in the restaurant itself, which looks like it’s had a bit of a spruce up inside - it looked a lot nicer. Whilst the food was ok, the service wasn’t the best. It was beyond slow, & the servers were all so miserable & grumpy looking, almost scowls on their faces. It didn’t make you feel welcome. Disappointed.

Lovely food, great selection of choices. Staff were great and lovely atmosphere. Really enjoyed our visit. There was a big party of us and yet they looked after us so well.. really recommend this place

Very good quality food never had a bad experience. Lovely owners and staff. There isn’t really a decent alternative in the area so they’ve got the market.

Beautiful meal as always never disappoints

Food was undercooked and restaurant smelly

If you're considering opening a restaurant, visit this one to learn how not to treat customers. We went on a weekend, and there were no other occupied tables besides ours. While we were eating, an employee came over and asked if we were done and if he could clear the table. The way they responded to our questions made it clear this would be our first and last visit to this horrible dining establishment.

amazing curry, naan abit doughy but over all great

Never had a bad meal from here, the curries are so good and always delivered on time

We saw the restaurant while walking, and it was tempting to go in. Inside, we were greeted by a nicely organized, clean and polite welcome. The selection is plentiful and the staff is helpful. I like Indian food, so I have a basis for comparison in terms of flavors. In my opinion, the quality of the food is excellent, but it falls short of the well-accustomed traditional intense flavors.

Really good value food great in

Really tasty food. We're regulars.

We are very happy to visit an Indian restaurant again during our trip. We love this world of taste and culture. It wouldn't happen any differently today. The restaurant is simple, spacious and clean. Reception and service of guests is adequate.They are kind and helpful in choosing food. Good value for money.People with reduced mobility can also visit the restaurant. For me, the food lacked a bit of salt and it was not the usual intense seasoning. But that doesn't affect the fact that the food was delicious. I can only recommend

just eat got my location wrong, but having ordered from Bibiana before, they were good enough to correct that mistake

Really great food and service. We go fairly regularly and are never disappointed.

Just had a fabulous meal nothing too much trouble, celebrating hubby's 65th birthday, turns out it was also Mohammeds who runs the restaurant birthday too ( only he's much younger)

First visit to my son's new local Indian restaurant after his recent move to the area. Already we are looking forward to another fabulous meal on our next visit. Wide range of options on the menu: some very spicy, some not so hot and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Food wasn't cooked properly Food wasn't even hot Chips not cooked Took 1 hour to take our order and wasn't even busy

Absolutely love the food, but every time I order for a specific time, they deliver early. Last night I was out, luckily just walked through the door when they delivered 35 mins early but could have still been out. Need to work on getting delivery times correct.

We love this place. The Food is amazing, Great service too 😊

Never had a bad curry, spot on value.

My favourite local Indian restaurant, always friendly and welcoming, our last visit was a large group booking at last minute, nothing was a problem and we was accommodated quickly, food is great and priced fairly :)

The worst Indian I’ve ever had, it was over 2 hours late and was not fresh, it was extremely oily and the curry had curdled.

The worst meal I’ve ever had in my life! We ordered a king prawn karahi and vegetable Biryani with a vegetable curry which was cold when it arrived and full of oil! Disgusting. The photos I’ve attached is the veg curry which comes with the Biryani - the curry was that bad it curdled in the container.. the king prawn dish looked the same with zero flavour or spice .. just oil and more oil.

Best Indian restaurant in Nottingham staff are lovely food is unbelievable and it doesn't break the bank I would definitely recommend this restaurant 5*

Love it here, not overly priced and the food is fab

The food delivered, unfortunately was not what was ordered & was cold

collected our order and was given the wrong food(someone elses order) isnt good for our first time, however, went back to shop and they remade the whole order and a free drink on the house for troubles, food was lovely, fresh, hot, good spice levels, literally nothing in the whole order to fault at all! thanks guys we will be back :)

Just returned home after a beautiful meal with my daughter, The food was delicious the service first class and such a clean welcoming restaurant we definitely felt welcomed with friendly staff. Please give it a try if you like well cooked delicious food ,definitely the place to go with friends ,

It's ok. Not an Authentic food Indian restaurant. I can see it's target market, curries that are bland made from pre made sauces you get from the supermarket. First time visiting with a group of 8, walk-ins and accomodating for a short period as we hadn't booked. We had just under 1 HR 30 mins to order, eat and vacate. That's all fine and appreciated 👍. Each costing £20, it's good value, serving drinks in recent decorated venue. Short staffed but getting on with looking after the customers. I'll visit again to check up on the decor and food as long as it's authentic proper desi style curries.

A family-run restaurant that clearly takes pride in delivering an excellent quality service. Bibiana houses a wonderfully welcoming and warm atmosphere, serving up fresh, authentic and satiating meals that are packed with diverse flavour profiles. As we were open-minded, we went by staff recommendations, which was very helpful, and in the end, we were advised to sample the items from their Traditional Menu (Jalfrezi, Tikka Masala, Karahi and Bhuna). Next time, we look forward to trying out even a greater range of items off the menu, especially at such reasonable pricepoints. Our advice to you, do order the Masala Chips! Finally, we were so pleased by the attentiveness of the staff and their faultless service. Thank you to the entire team, and especially Mohammed, whose kindness and professionalism made our first visit so special. And so, we absolutely recommend Bibiana, and promise to return sometime in the near future!

Food was average, not very hot. A lot of sauce with just a few bits of meat swimming round in it.

We specifically ordered our food for 7:45pm and it was delivered at 7pm. This may seem a petty difference but we have two small children who we have to put down for bed at that time. The delivery arrived just as the children were in the bath so by the time we could actually get to it, when they were asleep (around 7:30) all the food was cold and had to be reheated. Why offer a preorder service with a time slot if you are just going to ignore it?

Great food, good service would definitely dine here again

Lovely staff,always happy to help when we want to try something new on the menu

Been coming to Bin for a lot of years, mainly with my husband and family. Today my daughter decided to throw her works Christmas party here. Was very disappointed because when I come here, I ALWAYS order the chicken shashlik. This come out on a hot sizzling plate and the spices and garlic create a juice that means although it is a dry dish it's very succulent and tasty and no need for a sauce. Tonight my shashlik came out as a dry tandoori chicken which I did not order and the heat was not even. I e it was clear it had been precooked then microwaved. I left most of it. I did query this and was told at first by a member of staff that this was ordered and I did not order the shashlik. Then I was told a shashlik does not come out on a hot plate at that restaurant. Very bizarre as I've never had it any other way , anywhere, including Bibiana. When the bill came I saw on the bill that it said chicken shashlik. I asked the manager what was a chicken shashlik. He explained it's the dry dish on the sizzling plate. I then explained to the manager in charge that we aren't quibbling the bill we will pay in full but very disappointed because I didn't have the shashlik and was fobbed off. He then tries to say the shashlik doesn't come on a sizzling plate all of the time so I proceeded to tell him that it was clearly microwaved. This was a Monday night and not busy by the way! Our table of 6 had been booked for two weeks. To be fair he apologised. We paid in full, as I don't believe in not paying a bill just because something was not good. I had the meal, albeit left half of it . The manager did offer me a brandy on the house but I declined. Although I appreciated the sentiment. My point is, being fobbed off when I ordered the same dish I always do! Over the years I have found the food and it pace of service hit and miss but no one can fault the politeness of the staff. I just wish the y would have held their hands up at the beginning.

The Food was great, my only issue was that I ordered a Lamb Tikka Pathia, but received a Chicken Pathia, I was too hungry to care.

Good quality food. Was only luke warm when it arrived. Would have been better if it was hot

Wednesday offer amazing value and food was superb. The staff have increased in warmth and welcome and now only place I'd eat Curry in Hucknall

First time coming here , the food was absolutely amazing 👏 service was really good and fast , welcoming as well , fresh food as well very nice.

Great food and for a great price. We're really lucky to have this place on our doorstep. Been a few times. 5 stars every visit!

Always a nice experience here. The food is lovely and the staff friendly.

First visit , we will definitely be going again

The food could have been warmer. Felt I had to eat it fast. Never the same once it’s been pinged in the microwave.

Excellent food, excellent service and value for money.

Last few times we visited the food was excellent. This time not so good. We rather got used to being barked at by the waiters as the food arrives.

Paid a visit to Bibiana for my granddaughter’s birthday 15 people they did a great job food was excellent.

Beautiful food but they forgot to put the nan in.

Missing the chips food was cold and very bland took 2 hours to arrive all went in the bin

Got the order wrong and delivered Chicken Massala instead of vegetable Massala. The rest of the order was nice but feeding chicken to vegetarian didn’t go down well.

Favourite dine in and take away.

Booked to eat here with availability online to arrive to be told no availability . Sort ya website out then so you don't lose out on a party of 10 jokes

Food was 30 minutes late! Was super cold the lamb was mega hard and gristly and unpalatable. I normally order from bibiana but this is the worst I've ever experienced.

1st time here last night and won't be our last. Absolutely delicious food and generous portions too. Arranging another meal here very soon.....10/10

Great food, great prices and a nice setting. Would definitely recommend!

Food, great Delivery, awful Almost 2 1/2 hour wait for food, spent over £60 After ringing and being told 5-10 mins, had to ring again 20 mins later to be told same thing By the time the food came, film was done and the night was closing up. Who wants to be eating after 9:30pm?

Brilliant food, great prices and service

First timer to Bibiana, and went with a few people who are regulars. Very nice restaurant, roomy and welcoming staff. Swift service and the food was delicious it was a Saturday night and was very busy and we were sat between two huge party tables which made it very noisy but it didn't put me off, we just had to lip read over the loudness.

Fantastic food it was bloody brilliant🤤

Love this place. Always go above and beyond and fab food too. Raj remembers you and your previous choices. Great place to eat.

Both dishes was very nice . The only bad bits was it was too greasy and my Royal dish was missing the king prawns

Never order from here before but will definitely do so again. All the food was lovely.

Bit useless really. They open at 1800 but wouldn't allow us to book a table until 1830.

Not happy! Food delivered but with missing rice. Phoned restaurant to be told you will have to come and get it but then rest of food will be cold. Ruined the meal thanks alot

Poppadoms was thin. Sauces watery. Chicken tiki looked like Tandoori. Peshwari naan had no almonds & sultanas In it. Pilau was cold. The staff was ignorant 😒 that is speaking for the 4 of us.

Delivery estimate was 45-60 mins, got changed on ordering to 60-80 mins and finally turned up 90 mins after ordering, would not have placed the order had that been the estimate

Food was delicious as always & piping hot. Highly recommended 👌

Great food as always and lovely delivery staff. The best Indian in Hucknall.

Fantastic meal and service as always

Nicest curry I have had for a long time, will definitely be ordering again A++

Excellent,well cooked food, wonderful service. Atmosphere is probably better when more customers, we went on a Tuesday night which is maybe one of their quieter nights.Parking is just across the road,wheelchair friendly, definitely will go again.

Ate the most disgusting lamp biriyani ever. Found part of a kitchen dish washer brush coil in the food. Prepared in a hurry and I'm sure no salt was added. The staff was talking and laughing louder than the customers. Not recommended

The staffs were so lovely amazing customer service 🥰 was a good experience would definitely go back again and of course recommended

Chips wasn’t cooked properly, was like eating unfrozen chips, the Papadums was stale and not fresh, tasted vile and didn’t come with dip, only nice thing was the korma and nan bread, normally my go to Indian but think I’m gonna find somewhere else

Food arrived early and hot. Dishes were absolutely delicious and just the right portions. First time ordering from here and were very impressed. Definitely coming here again!

Loyal customer and never usually have any issues. Order was 30 mi Tues late, even when kept ringing restaurant they were rude

Staff were very polite came to me to ask if i wanted a drink never left long without service can't fault food at all very busy

Ordered via just eat driver cba finding house got soaked 3 times going out looking for them. One meal was inedible had frozen reheated chicken in it had to bin it. Complained to just eat no refund as clearly you can’t see that chicken is chewy inedible from a photo absolute joke of a place won’t be using just eat anytime soon either 😡👎

Brilliant meal and good value for money. Best Indian we've had in a long time. Highly recommend! Fab service also, thank you !

A superb restaurant to meet for a meal with attentive staff

Excellent service, so friendly, helpful. An extensive menu with each dish well described. I love a mild/medium & sweet curry, so chose a Chassni. Absolutely delicious, and can't wait for our next visit! By the way, the fact that the restaurant was full to bursting shows how good the food is and how popular the restaurant is. A big thank you to the table staff and chef for a wonderful meal experience.

Tandoori chicken was lovely but the Butterfly prawn was terrible, £4.50 and about as big as a chicken dipper, didn’t taste great either, shame.

The food is usually good quality however recently the takeaway service has let the restaurant down. Guy that takes telephone orders is doing too many other things at the same time as taking your order. He is rudely talking to other people and asking for you to repeat yourself repeatedly. Last occasion I had to quote my payment card three times before he got it right. Recently we have received the wrong takeaway order on two separate occasions and when you’ve dished up and everyone else is eating, then what can you do. Decided to use Just Eat on the last occasion as you get to write down your own order. Guess what! A Lamb dish arrived as chicken! Normally love the food here but if they can’t get orders right, might have to look elsewhere. Never had this problem with any other takeaway service ever. It’s more of a lottery than takeaway.

Awful experience on this occasion. Food was an hour late and my curry was lukewarm. Very disappointed I’m afraid.

Ordered lamb balti x 2 looked like one garlic cheese nan cold couldn't taste cheese or garlic

Beautiful food whether you eat at the restaurant or takeaway for home!! Excellent service! Top quality

Took myself out for dinner date & had such a great experience! The lamb chops i had as starter were so tasty & loved the way it was served with salad. The king prawn dish had big juicy prawns full of flavour and plenty of pila rice(had to take some home). Staff were very welcoming & friendly & i loved the way the manager treated the young lady at the bar. I will definitely return. Appreciate this experience. Gracias 😊

Absolutely lovely evening - food was amazing and the service was excellent. Definitely recommend and will be going back soon. Thank for a brilliant evening guys

Extremely rude manager. Ruined our night out with his unfriendly attitude

Worst customer service experience ever.

Metal filing found in good. Very watery sauces. Very little meat, it felt like the usual standards have gone down

Visiting the area on a birthday mini break. An amazing curry and great service - we'll definitely be back!

Was delicious as always , favourite Indian takeaway!

Delivery Ordered for a 7 pm delivery this quickly changed to 7:30. Food did not arrive until 8:55 nearly 2 hours after my originally requested delivery time and an hour and a half after the first confirmed delivery time. Service My husband called multiple times and was repeatedly told the driver left 2 minutes ago. A little honesty on our first call and we would have canceled our order and collect from our local instead. Food quality The food was barely warm when it got to us. Except weirdly the mango chutney was very hot and watery. The Daal had a burnt garlic taste to it, couldn't eat it. The Prawn tandoori main looked like it was a starter portion, but we didn't eat it. The prawns were mushed up and had a concerning sour fishy taste to them like they were old or 'off'. My husband ate one prawn and said it tasted bad, I tried a bite and spat it out. We decided not to risk getting food poisoning and stopped eating. The naans were the highlight. Apparently, bread is had for even this place to mess up.

I went here for new years eve. The customer service was friendly that's why I gave 1 star The food is bland no spices at all Madras was like a korma Chicken Biriani it was like a savory packet rice from tesco absolutely no taste. I did tell them when they collected my plate I had left all my meal as was just tasteless they never acknowledged me. Chips where deep fried in old fat Discusting non eaten. 2nd star for nan breads were nice but 1 was burnt Hidden underneath another There was 8 of us And we will not be returning Sorry you really need a new chef Really disappointed
