Bismilla in Allerdale

Curry pot came with less than 24%full so it ended being a chicken and rise dish

Lovely family run business. Always friendly and nice food and a reasonable cost!

Food was very tasty, would go there again

Omg amazing food and lots of it fast delivery excellent value will definitely order again

Ordered and collected meal for 2 absolutely disgusting starters cold worst of all cat hairs in starters and main curries and taste was vile this place is a health hazard please do NOT eat from this place

Shocking. Chips arrived stone cold, and undercooked. Almost solid wouldn't feed them to my dog! Onion Baji undercooked, Indian mint sauce spicy and burnt one of the people eating, naans badly undercooked. Poppadoms left off the order, and arrived over 35 minutes late. Serious concerns over eating meat from the curry when they can't cook even cook shoddy cheap poor quality frozen chips correctly. All went in the bin. Offered a discount off my next order but I seriously value my life and won't eat there again.

Amazing food highly recommended 👌

We've been going here for years. Great value, great curry!

Oh my god. Just had probably our hundredth curry for here and wow it’s better than ever. Just fanastic. Beef was melt in your mouth on the madras combined with a peshwari naan. Just the best curry house in Cumbria and I’ve tried a lot. Keep it up chef

Never had a bad thing to say about Bismillah Balti it's always been mine and my partners favourite place to order from. Delivery is always quite fast. The most recent time we ordered the naan bread was quite undercooked and the chicken Tikka masala sauce was very different to usual, Very bland and a different colour to what we are used to. There's been a few times in the past where we have been over charged but never said anything because the food always been amazing until our last order.

Thank you for the lovely food! Tasty, fast and well packed for takeaway 👌 We liked that they have that 'kids option' for those who don't eat D do Indian cuisine.

We ordered the chicken korma and chicken tikka masala and we couldn’t tell which was which. Way too much sugar and no spice. Good prices and garlic naan was good

been going for years never had a bad meal

Best Indian food in west Cumbria.

Good little take away, speedy service, excellent quality food

Food taste was ok but not authentic Indian taste, Naans were spongy as well.

The food is amazing freshly cooked would recommend to family and friends 100% the chicken tikka masala and chicken tikka korma is beautiful plus all the other dishes , starters with mixed pickles , poppadoms , chicken pakora amazing

Got a takeaway last night it was really good couldn't fault it very authentic 👌

Lots of flavour and very reasonable prices Best in workington but closes too early (open times are wrong)

Food was ok We ordered rice and curry dishes.rice dishes were all undercooked Curries were fine but loaded with spices Overall not very impressed The place doesnt look very hygienic to be honest

Excellent takeaway food , travel over 40 mile round trip,! Wouldn’t go anywhere else !

Never had a bad meal, always worth the money

Aboutlsy beautiful best Indian takeaway in Cumbria to be fair

Lovely meals brilliant service a warm welcome and the food was hot enjoyable to look at which made it all the more appetizing the price was very reasonable compered to were we usually go the meal was 15pound cheaper so you have my custom from now on keep it up

Can't be beaten on quality and taste

Lovely food, quick delivery, a tenner well spent

Have been eating from this place for years... every time I try somewhere else I'm truly disappointed.. the taste difference is night and day. Especially if you like spicy food. Cant be beat in workington for price taste and service. By far the best in town. 5 stars all the way 👍

Excellent food at reasonable prices.

It is small but the food is lovely.

Came here recently after an awful experience at a nearby kebab shop called Caspian kebabs the night before. We ordered a mixture of dishes, myself choosing a chicken biryani, whilst others picked a set meal for 2, including bhuna, meat saag, chicken tikka curry etc. So a fairly large order. On arrival at the hotel, luckily everything labelled nicely. Salads put in as complimentary. The taste generally very good with lots of chicken in my biryani. The other guys enjoyed their dishes as well. Highly recommended.

Small and a bit dingy. A take away restaurant so probably no real need for overly fancy decorations. Food OK. Reasonable prices.

Never tried here before, but was pleasantly surprised. All the food was tasty and was decent value. Will definitely be going again. Can't understand why no recent reviews and some previous reviews were poor. Can only assume the place has improved since then.

Can't fault the food, fantastic and very tasty, highly recommended.

It's generally nice but can have off days

Absolutely gorgeous, delivery really quick, would definitely recommend

Primera vez que he escrito un comentario, pero siento que debería. Pedimos una carne tandoori combinados especiales que venía con pan y ensalada, cuando abrimos el pan y ensalada, la comida en sí sabía absolutamente horrible (tenía lo que parecía ser una especie de patas entre) todo terminó en la papelera ya que era incomible! En los próximos días, intentamos contactar con el gerente para quejarse, por fin conseguimos hablar con alguien sobre nuestra experiencia y les pedí que conseguir el director de ring, que es ahora dos semanas más tarde, y no he oído de él. Nunca volveremos a este para llevar de nuevo! ! !

Buena familia quedaron hindú para llevar. He usado este para llevar años. El sabor es bueno, el precio es justo y el personal siempre es cortés y amable. TV y zona de estar si tienes que esperar

Waited over a hour and half curry wasn't as nice as last time poor. nain bread half the size and prices up by £2.50 changed to another indian in town

I order here for last 10 years I get same think every time I order it comes about £10 , last time I ordered the price went u bye £4 not happy at all business put price up bye little it's to expensive

After using this takeaway for a number of years as I thought it was the best by far but after my last 3 orders I have had to find myself another takeaway. On each of the 3 occasions I ordered lamb but when I opened it at home was always chicken ! I only complained on 2 of the occasions but it still carried on , not sure what it was with not being able to carry out a simple order !

Have been ordering from here for years as I think it's the best in town. Can't fault he curries or rice dishes I have had front here. Chips have changed in tastes recently and I can only assume it's the oil they use as they have a funny smell, they're not good. naan breads are always nice. The reason why I'm posting now is cos last week I ordered a prawn dish, they were not prawns. I needed a knife to cut them and struggled even then, they were a funny shape and texture, didn't havr the right colour and were odourless. I'm not sure What they were but I would avoid ordering any dish with them in. It won't put me off ordering other food there though, overall good sized portions at a decent price with lots of variety to choose from.

Used to order from here every weekend because the portion sizes were massive and it did more than one meal. The curry was delicious, lovely chips and the naan's were always moist and warm without fail. It was a little bit pricier than other takeaway's but well worth the money. After not ordering for a few months i decided to order my usual and the price had risen by £2.50, remembering how good they were i happily obliged. It took 1 hour and a half to arrive, and when it did i was disappointed. The portion size had halved the curry was mainly sauce with around 3- 4 pieces of small chicken and the naan bread was cold and hard. I assumed maybe it was a bad day, i ordered again the following 2 weeks and i picked it up this time. They told me 20 mins to pick it up, i arrived 20 mins later and was still waiting for another 20 before they brought my food out. I got home and it was the same sorry state, and the naan bread have also halved in size. I think i'll be avoiding in the future.

El dansak solía ser precioso desde aquí, pero las tres últimas veces que hemos tenido, me han dejado decepcionados. La piña era ofc en una ocasión. Han mezclado mi pedido una vez antes y me tenía que ir en coche 12 km a cambiar.

When I'm at my boyfriends we always get our Indian takeaways from here never had a problem with it and always quick

This really is one to avoid at all costs... Very poor food and questionable hygiene. Do yourself a favour and give this place a wide berth!

This used to be the takeaway I would always go to without a shadow of a doubt. I ordered a curry, naan, chicken pakoras, rice and chips to share with a friend. It arrived quickly, which was fine. The chips were cold and greasy, the chicken pakoras were greasy beyond belief and tasted burned, the naan was cold and hard and, the best bit.... we found a false nail in our curry. A chewed false nail. We binned everything there and then and haven't been back since. When I put it on Facebook, three other people all agreed they'd found nails or hair in their food, and one friend (a trained chef, I might add) had found rotten prawns when his girlfriend ordered a dish. I would NOT recommend this place, I was absolutely disgusted.

Best Indian takeaway in West Cumbria in my opinion. Quality food, at value for money prices. Bismilla provides takeaway or delivery.

Usually order up to seven meals when on night shift for work mates. Never any probs with meals. One bugbear. The young girl on the phone can be Rather impatient when phoning order in . Not listening to you

Recently ordered and they got our order wrong when asked to change the lass on the phone was so rude & they took an extra 40 mins to deliver a portion of rice & chips. I will never order from them again!!

I've been a regular customer here because their curries are the cheapest in workington and the food isn't bad, however my order came to £9 and I give them a £20 note, to which I was given £1 in return. I said I handed over a £20 note to which the woman went in the back and a man came and asked what the problem was, I told him and he went in the back and came again but with a £10 note saying that is what I paid with. The man being ignorant, and me not having any proof I had to give in and leave while other customers were waiting to order making me look stupid and as if I didnt know how much money I left my house with and handed over. I will not be returning.

I had not ate from this takeaway curry place for a while. When I first moved to Workington (2001) I started ordering from here and the food was ok. However the last curry I bought was so poor I felt like returning it. I think it was a Dansak dish i ordered and it was little more than gravy with poor quality chicken, lightly spiced with little bits of pineapple floating around in it. Dansak is supposed to be a vibrant lentil sweet and sour dish. Was very disappointed.

Have used this takeaway many times now and have never had any problems at all. Delivery is always quicker than what they quote and id a very reasonable price too. If you collect from the shop, you can pay by card and cash. Staff have always been friendly to us. Won't use anyone else around here now. Not when you can get the best quality, price AND service from one place.

Ordered by phone. Came swiftly enough. I ordered chicken tikka dansak, rice and kerma nan. Value ok £8. The dansak curry was inedible, horrible sauce and very dark with little pieces of pineapple. Poor quality chicken. Rice all stuck together. Keema nan ok. Workington has no decent take aways anymore. I ain't tried the new Thai place yet. However everywhere else is below par. Disappointing.
