Authentic Indian for as it should be, love the food its not got all the bright coloured food colourings in the dishes that so many others restaurants create, its original and incredibly tasty.

We had a curry delivered from Cardamom, once again everything was extremely good. A while ago we had a couple of deliveries which were disappointing but the last two have been very good again so maybe the old chef if back. Keep it up Cardamom, when you are good you are very good. We will be back.

We have been regular customers of Cardamom since it opened and have always been delighted with the food and service, so much so we have recommended it to all our friends. We ordered a meal a week of so ago and were very disappointed- what has happened? New chef? Nothing was as good as it had been, even down to the popadoms, the spicy were burnt and the plain were soggy, the main courses, side dishes and breads were all far from the normal standard, the only thing nobody moaned about was the rice. Such a shame and disappointment. We won’t be rushing back.

As typical with Fri night treat night we ordered an Indian takeaway and went back to the Cardamom. Well, we weren't disappointed. Ordered on line and received an immediate discount on our order. We ordered Chicken Madras, chicken shashlik and a very delicious paneer main, together with the normal Bombay potatoes, popadums, chuntneys and mushroom rice. It's not often that the house is quiet, but you could hear a pin drop, the food was fantastically delicious, spices well balanced bringing joy with every mouthful. Well done to the experts at the cardomom for giving us this culinary escapism from the stresses of life.

We always have a take-away meal from Cardamom on the last Friday of the month (Payday!) and we just love the food, it's always delivered promptly, piping hot and by a very cheerful delivery guy. Portions are more than adequate, so much so that there is always more than enough left over for a good lunch the next day.

What the title says! Had to chuck my whole chicken biriyani and veg curry that comes with it in the bin! Whole thing swimming with oil and that's all I could taste with a slight hint of garlic. All i ate was the pappadoms and mango chutney. Won't be going here again!!

Take away last evening was exceptional. Every dish was first class. Prompt delivery service and generous portion size, plus my wife wanted a slight variation on one dish and this was accomplished without hesitation. Will be back - keep up the very high standard.

Was a very busy Friday night and understandably we did have to wait which is normal for a weekend and they would be overwhelmed being three weeks into business. Picked up the food and it was incredible, best takeaway I’ve had- thank you so much...

Ordered 3 takeaways last saturday. My chicken tikka korai was very good as was my son's balti. But my other son's lamb naga wasn't. While the sauce was good, unfortunately the lamb was very tough and practically uneatable.

We ordered from this restaurant twice (both time through JustEat). The first time we ordered from Cardamom we were so impressed. The food was absolutely lovely. One of the nicest curries we've had in a very long time. The second time was a different story....

The staff were really lovely. The food was absolutely delicious and you could tell it was all made from scratch. This is one of the best korma's I have ever had. I will be going back and would recommend highly.

My first order was cold and tasteless, I rang the restaurant who said they will re do it and send it to me. This took over 40 minutes. When the new order came it was hot but bland, tasteless and just not good at all. I have been going to the maduban for a long time and they have lost a customer. I also will be letting my local friends know that this was not acceptable

It’s a few years since we’ve been to this restaurant and we had many good experiences in the past. Sadly, this visit was less than impressive. Our relatively early evening booking saw poppadoms and pickle tray delivered. One dipping pot was chipped in several places and really should be discarded in the bin. Tight servings of the pickle dishes for 6 people - perhaps review the portion sizes you serve as a plain poppadom is little more than a large crisp otherwise. Drinks arrived eventually. Main courses ordered and we sat back and chatted, chatted, chatted…waiting for the plates we used for our poppadoms to be collected from the table. A gentle hint of the customers stacking up these plates eventually caught the attention of the waiter and he came over to remove them from our table. Then we had time to chat, chat, chat, chat whilst waiting for our main course to be served. Thank goodness we didn’t order anything over complicated or starters. After an hour and a quarter we caught one of the waiters and politely asked whether our main course was due to arrive. As if by magic, we were informed we were next and the dishes arrived in a rather haphazard disorganised way, so our group got rice but no curry or their curry but no rice etc. Rice portion sizes were also very small. Several of the dishes served to our group contained chicken - it was tough. The chicken jalfrazi looked like no other chicken jalfrazi I’d ever seen served in a similar restaurant. Very little tomato found within the jalfrazi hence it appeared rather too dark brown ( I know recipes differ). It was disappointing to see that tables are no longer covered in table cloths as most appear to be, chipped crockery, long waits before being served, waiters running in the restaurant, waiters carrying 4 plates, 4 rice dishes, plates of naan bread whilst serving customers - no serving trolleys or trays used. There was lots of rushing around by staff and perhaps far too many customers in the restaurant for the staff to cope with. Yes, it was busy, but when customers are forced to wait exceptionally long for their meals to arrive, the quality of cooking and ingredients, small portion sizes of dishes you start to question whether it’s worth going there again? Sadly, our answer to that would be an overwhelmingly no. There are so many other good restaurants in the area - Whitehill and Alton where service, quality of food and portion sizes are so good why would you want to return? Which is such a shame because in previous years we’ve had good food and a good experience here. I just wonder what has happened to change this? Maybe more staff are needed or spread table booking times so your kitchen and waiting staff aren’t so overwhelmed.
