Picked up delivery. Been to dower house for years. Worst meal from them. Cold rice, cold bread. No sauce to curry and any veg in curry was uncooked. Side dish of Bombay aloo had vinegar in. It was just awful, only bonus was I threw

Llegué para una comida reservada por adelantado para mi 60 cumpleaños Sin embargo, cuando se sentó mi esposa preguntó si podía sentarse frente a mí, la respuesta fue saber que tienes que permanecer en tu asiento, ya que facilita el servicio, a pesar de que nos sentamos en una mesa para 4 personas, así que realmente no entendí por qué , aparte de que él habría tenido que mover los cubiertos y la servilleta En eso nos levantamos y nos fuimos Primera impresión

Food is good (chicken was a tad dry) and came out fast but the service needs work. Most of the waiters were fine but the bald headed guy was so miserable. Walked off after taking the orders, no thank you, nothing. Just rude. Could do with music but okay meal.

Reservamos una mesa para 8. 30 pm. Nos mantuvieron en la zona del bar y servimos bebidas. Dimos nuestra orden de comida y nos dijeron que nos sentarían cuando nuestros entrantes estuvieran listos. A las 9. 10 nos dijeron que podíamos ir en la habitación 3 o simplemente esperar 5 minutos, ya que querían sentarnos en la zona principal del restaurante. Esta mesa estaba ocupada actualmente por un gran grupo de hombres que francamente no parecía que fueran a ir a ninguna parte rápido. Así que fuimos a la habitación 3. Esperé a los entrantes... Algunos eran mejores que otros. Cebolla bhajis y pakoras .. simplemente no te molestes. A los platos principales les fue un poco mejor. Esto lo pagó nuestra compañía... francamente me hubiera decepcionado mucho si me hubiera pagado a mí mismo. Piensa que opera en su ubicación y reputación pasada. Primera y última vez. Mi consejo si no puede acomodar a sus huéspedes que han reservado y pagado por adelantado no tome más reservas.

I took my 83 year old mother here on Saturday. We got a drink at the bar as we were early. Booked a table for 3 people. They took us to our table with only two chairs and didnt' bring us another chair, I had to get it from another table. We waited 20 minutes nobody came to the table. I got up and asked the bald headed waiter who turned out to be the manager. If someone could come to the table. He said so rudely "You have a drink don't you" no body came, so I asked him again if we could order some food. Again he spoke so rudely and said "if you don't like it LEAVE". If I wasn't with my mother I would have left, but didn't want to spoil it evening for my mum. I will NEVER go here again. The manager should be fired so rude and disrespectful. NOT HAPPY.

Estábamos alojados en Bawtry para un evento durante el fin de semana. El restaurante fue elegido por sus críticas en gran medida positivas. Primero lo positivo... Nos gustó la decoración del restaurante Las bebidas se servían en el bar y nuestro pedido se llevaba allí Mostrado a nuestra mesa que estaba muy bien vestidos y nuestros popdoms nos estaban esperando La comida era muy sabrosa y porciones de buen tamaño Nos pareció que la comida era un muy buen precio para la calidad de la comida. Los negativos 1 camarero en nuestra mesa era bastante hosco. No sonrió ni una vez. Le pedimos un poco de agua del grifo, nunca la trajo. (Tuve que preguntar a otro camarero) Cuando se trataba de pagar la cuenta, simplemente tomó la cuenta, tomó nuestra tarjeta de crédito y asumió que toda la cuenta iría en esa tarjeta (teníamos mitad de efectivo / mitad tarjeta). El camarero no nos preguntó si habíamos disfrutado de nuestra comida, no nos agradeció, no dijo 'buenas noches'... simplemente nos pasó la tarjeta, tomó el dinero... Incluyendo la punta y se fue. Bordeando la grosería desafortunadamente. Parecía que no quería estar allí. Qué lástima cuando los otros camareros que nos encontramos fueron corteses, amables y sonrientes. 1 persona defraudó al equipo.

We have not been to the Dower House for quite a while due to circumstances, albeit we were regular visitors before. I have to say that the staff made us so welcome on our return, having not seen us for quite some time and it was as if we had never been away. The food and service were amazing and we intend to go back again in the next couple of weeks……..a big thank you to all the staff working at the Dower House, the No1 Indian restaurant in Yorkshire for me !!

Tired decor and basic toilet facilities detract from the silver service and smartly turned out staff. Food was average and not particularly well cooked. I found a small sliver of shinbone in my lamb dish and got a blasé matter of fact response when I pointed it out. Not worth the premium prices for the meals. Won’t be back until it gets a refurbishment.

A Flavorful Delight: A Perfect Evening at Dower House Bawtry My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Dower House last Friday evening, and it was an experience worth every accolade. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional culinary journey. The menu was a vibrant celebration of classic Indian cuisine, offering a diverse selection of dishes that catered to both traditional and contemporary tastes. Each dish we ordered was a masterpiece, bursting with rich, authentic flavors that left us craving more. The spices were perfectly balanced, and every bite was a testament to the chef's mastery. What made the evening truly special was the impeccable service. The staff at were attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly friendly. They went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Their recommendations were spot on, and they were always on hand to cater to our needs with a warm smile. Overall, Dower House is a gem that offers not just a meal, but a memorable dining experience. It was a ten out of ten evening for us, and we will certainly be returning soon. Kudos to the entire team for their dedication to excellence. Kaoutar & Cader

Ate here with friends who lived locally at the time , around a year ago. The place was heaving and very very hot. We were shown to table quite quickly and our starters arrived fast as well. I’ve eaten in a lot of Indian restaurants over the years in a few different countries. The Bhaji and pakora selection we got was minuscule in the extreme and tasted stale. The mains arrived and frankly, i hate places that serve the chicken cubed. Feels and tastes processed. Also, a medium curry was too hot almost to the point of being inedible (and I do like spicy food) Our friends enjoyed it but we ourselves won’t return now that they have moved away. Felt it was overpriced for the experience as well.

As a party of 5 who went on Christmas Eve as a family spending over £200 we found that the food was mediocre, the table service was appalling. One man with no hair was particularly rude, grunted when we spoke to him and had little in customer service skills. There are a lot of staff whizzing around and the bar staff were friendly admittedly but given that they brought out the wrong dish, the grumpy man who made us feel uncomfortable, the two round tables pushed together for a party of five that made us feel disjointed and the rice which was not very hot is why we’ve given the review accordingly. We did leave a tip (after all it was Christmas) and we hope this review helps them to improve their service. Such a shame we had the experience we did.

I love the curry's 🍛😋 at Dower House! I visited on a Thursday night recently, a small group of 3, around 18:45, there were a few tables available and it filled up towards 8pm. I booked online 💻 and it took 24 hours before they replied. So I'd say if you wanted to make sure you're booked in contact the restaurant and book 📖. You enter through the side door 🚪and arrive at a check in desk, if nobody is there continue through and left onto the bar and they'll seat you from there. A nice pint of kingfisher 🍺 We had a couple of poppadoms each and a pickle tray, it was all really fresh and the lime pickle was easily the best I've had in ages! 💯 I had Chicken Dansak for main, a nice sweet curry 🍛 😋 and some pilau rice and a garlic chapati (not on the menu but they were happy to make it - it was really garlicky 🧄🧄🧄 🤩) It all tasted great 😃 We all had a starter and a main, + 1 garlic naan, 1 rice 🍚 1 chapati - 2 pints 1 pint of coke and we had white coffees ☕ to finish. It came to just over £100 which I felt was reasonable for the quality and service. The place was clean and tidy and the staff were all friendly 💪👍🤩 My photos didn't come out very well, I only managed the starter! Pakora photo, which tasted great. I can't wait to go back again 😍

NIce place to visit and has quite a few free parking bays but there doesn't seem to be any Blue Badge spaces. The inside is tastefully decorated. The the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome, atmosphere was relaxed, the background authentic music was at a level where you could converse with ease. Good menu to chose from with reasonable prices. Our party of 12 was attended to in a timely fashion, the staff appear to be a well oiled chain! People that smoke may find it disapointing that there doesn't seem to be a covered smoking shelter. Wheelchair users would find it challenging to navigate inside. Toilets are on first floor which is OK for the fit and able :-) Everyone in our group enjoyed the food, no compliants.

We ordered for a group of family and friends as a takeaway from these guys-they went out of their way to be helpful and managed me calling and changing and rearranging things a few times - will definitely use them again as the quality was fantastic - everything was well balanced and fresh, and left a “curry savvy” group of folks all singing the praises of both portion sizes , flavour and quality of ingredients. Impressive. It rounded off a great day for everyone. Thank you!!

The Dower house is a favourite of ours , but after receiving a very poor meal as a take out last weekend we are left unsure as to whether we would now return or recommend. The regular dish I ordered lacked taste and was very watery with no consistency, my husbands and daughters dish was equally not the usual standard. After addressing this with the owner and not being encouraged to return in anyway I think a new Indian restaurant will have to be found. As a regular customer I was disappointed with his response !1

We have been to Dower House many times & travel quite a long way just to eat there because we have always really enjoyed our food and experience until our last visit which has put us off for good! When we ordered I asked for mild lamb korma with a boiled egg. I have this every time I go but this time the waiter said " I have never heard of that and I don't believe we have ever made that for you ' I explained that I have it every time I visit but he was adamant and started yelling at me in front of all the other diners saying that he has worked there 19 years and the lamb korma has never been served with an egg before. I asked if he could check with the kitchen if they could hard boil an egg like they normally do for me but it turns out that according to our rude waiter no one in the kitchen can boil an egg. If that is the case they have no place working in a kitchen!!! When our food came out it was not anywhere like the previous standards and my mild lamb korma without the egg was extremely spicy and inedible. My partners meal lacked any flavour and the service from our waiter continued to be offhand and unprofessional. Overall it has put us off ever going back and when there are such other lovely places to eat in Bawtry I suggest give Dower House a miss! Disappointing!!

It's Sunday night and I'm at a loose end and still trying out the various local restaurants having only moved back into the area recently. The venue was busier than I expected (always a good sign) and I was soon seated. Service was steady (not slow but occasionally things took a little longer than they should) but it was clear they had staff training that evening. Always polite though. My meal was OK. My starter was not amazing but nothing wrong with it either. My main, although tasty seemed lacking in spice. Again, nothing wrong but nothing to set my world on fire. But it wasn't cheap. I have had much better curry for less money in recent months so it just felt slightly over priced especially given the location hence a solid 4 stars. So I may well return and if you are in Bawtry, it's the best curry I have had in the town to date so you won't be disappointed.

My partner and I visited Bawtry last Sunday 28th of August and discovered the Dower House restaurant. We were very fortunate to get a table as it was busy. The service was impeccable and the food was 5 star! My partner loves hot spicy curry but I on the other hand have to have extremely mild curry which a lot of places don't really cater for. I have to say my curry was out of this world!!! It was so delicious and the staff had really paid attention to what we both like. My partner loved his curry to, very spicy just as he likes it! I want to say a HUGE thank you to the team at Dower House. You really looked after us and although we live in Sheffield we will definitely make the trip back to you as this was my favourite curry ever!!!

This was my first (and last) visit to the Dower House. I'd been looking forward to it since moving here 2 1/2 years ago but was bitterly disappointed. I informed the water when I ordered that I have an allergy to bell peppers and cannot even have anything that has touched them. When my starter arrived, I fortunately noticed that there were piceces of green pepper in it! I called a waiter over and explained that I had said that I have an allergy. Ahother man (the owner or manager I think) brought me a "replacement" but then said that all of their "gravies" (sauces) are blended with green peppes in them. I have eaten in many Indian restaurants all over the country and have never heard that before. I've also cooked the dishes I like from scratch using authenitc Indian recipes and they haven't had peppers in them. Maybe it's a regional variation, but I've never had a problem as long as I've told them. But to serve someone the very thing that they've told you they are allergic too is a disgrace - and dangerous. They just didn't seem to care! We should have left then, but I agreed to have Chicken Tikka - something I wouldn't normally have as I don't like dry dishes. It seemed like they couldn't wait to get rid of us. Our main course was served and none of the dishes were put on hot trays (unlike the next table) and we weren't offered desserts or coffee. I found the owner/manager quite rude and obnoxious, and I never got an apolgy for what could have been a very serious incident. Funnily enough, when I rang to book the table I said to my friend that I thought they were a bit rude, just saying it's booked and putting the phone down. This man needs to learn to communicate in a much more pleasant manner. My friend said her food was "okay" but I did not enjoy mine - and the mint sauce that came with the poppadums was very runny and horrible.. I will certainly not be returning here, but I'm sure I'll have no problem finding a decent Inaian restaurant that actually makes you feel welcome and caters for a food allergy locally. I;d have given them 0 stars if I could!

He was very rude and didnt handle the situation very well . He explained there were signs all over stating this . We didn't see any so he brought us a menu that had the littlest writing saying this . We was a party of 7 so in the end they did let us stay . The food and service from the rest of the staff was really good . Not sure if the guy was the manager or the owner .

I haven't been to this restaurant for a long time and that will be the case again!! We had booked for 4 people at 7.30. I got greeted by a rude gentleman who just basically sat us in a waiting corner and left us there. It was 30mins before we got offered a drink and a full 50 mins before taken to a table after I asked what was going on. When being served we noticed the waiter was more friendly with a regular group and was amazed to see them turn up 30mins after us, sit down 10mi s after us and still get their starters before us. All the way through I was on edge as I believed we had done something to offend. It was the first night out with friends where I was still sober inthe taxi on the way home. Strangely as we was finishing the waiter was oddly smiley and pleasant but that soon changed again when he didn't receive a tip for service 🤣 The food was good but over priced. I do not mind paying more when the service is quality but I feel I wouldve had auch better evening in Lancers or over the road at China Rose where the service is always top notch. A completely ruined evening and I will not be returning.

Poor service, Poor quality food... If Ignorance and rudeness is what you want, then go to this establishment.... BUT... Lancers, over the road offers great food (and larger portions)... Plus the service comes with respect and a smile.... The Dower House is a very poor experience... Go elsewhere.

I came here for my 24th birthday with work friends, our waiter was Mo R, he was so lovely! What a genuine polite man, he went above and beyond. I even had a birthday cake with sparklers ✨ Not to mention the food is amazing!...

The food is absolutely perfect and the service even better. All of the staff are so welcoming especially Mo. The price is extremely reasonable.

Chicken santara was good. Other main course dishes were a bit bland. Prices are reasonable but charging for poppadoms is a bit mean!

Our first trip back to this wonderful restaurant after lockdown. We were warmly welcomed by Ronnie and his team and enjoyed a superb meal. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Thank you and so good to be back.

Great food as usual, felt completely safe with Covid protocols in place. Service quick, food served exactly as requested eg I asked for my curry to be made hotter and my nan to be well cooked

We had a takeaway from here, even when it arrived it was still piping hot as if it was served fresh and for the flavour it’s by far the best Indian in Doncaster so will be the only one we order from and visit from...

We’ve never been impressed with the service in our local Indian restaurant but we’ve always liked the food so we decided to head back on our latest couples night. The service hasn’t improved…in fact it has got worse! But this time the food wasn’t great...

Avoid. We booked here in September for Christmas Day. We were given a price of £30pp and £18 per child and we paid £10 deposit pp. we were told to arrive for 1pm this changed to 1:30 and later 2pm. On arrival at 1:45 we waited 30 minutes to be seated. We asked the server about pricing due to posters advertising £35pp we were informed that the price we were given was before posters and so the price was as displayed and when we asked about children we were now told under 10 only despite this not being specified before. We accepted this with it being Christmas and wanting to enjoy the experience. We waited 1 hour for popodoms to arrive to the table and 2 hours for the staters. After almost 3 hours we had not received our mains and we had small children on the table crying because they were hungry annd fed up of waiting. Absolutely no customer service skills from staff. We had a dirty table no glasses and not enough crackers for all. I understand that it’s Christmas and busy but it is not acceptable to leave people waiting almost 3 hours with no apologies or explanation. This resulted in our family leaving at almost 5pm without having our meal. Very disappointed and spoiled some of our Christmas Day. Not a reliable or trustworthy service.
