Far Pavillion in Lancaster

Discounts advertised on their website are very misleading. Offering discounts for landline orders and orders over £20 15% discount. You don’t get them!!!! Very misleading. Food average for very expensive prices. When I tried to query the price was fobbed off with ‘you need to use the app to get these discounts!!!! Only accept cash too which is always a trigger for me. Won’t be returning .

Great service however not too busy on Sunday evening at 7pm . Most of food really good except onion bhajis which were very dry, spicy poppadoms and chapattis over cooked. Garlic naan was the best we have ever had! Curries we had were flavoursome and mine had plenty chicken in whilst my other half had prawn and he said he could tell the prawns were fresh and plenty of them. Reasonably priced and nice ambiance in the restaurant. Will return.

Since when has a £12 chicken tikka main consisted of 5 small pieces of chicken and a slice of onion? No salad, no sauce. Really disappointing. The child's korma and rice had more chicken pieces! We won't be ordering from here again.

Been here many times but will not be returning.Arrived to be told no reservation though it was plainly on phone.Begrugingly taken to table.Asked to order drinks,then told it was bring your own ,no such sign and two months previously had ordered in house.Sulen service and a starter that consisted of four small button mushrooms garnished with tired salad.Mains supposedley a Jalfrezzy.no sign of ant tomatoe and the supposed lambe resembled a tyre.. Great shame used to be a top spot but will not be troubling them again

When you can't get to go to the actual place, our take away meal was Spot On. Fresh tasty, well presented and hot on delivery. The delivery driver was also very nice and friendly.

Just returned from what was probably the best Indian meals we have ever had. And I have tried a good few curry houses here, there, and everywhere. Authentic cuisine and fantastic hospitality. This place is a must try.

This was a mistake from the start. As nothing was showing as on the way etc after over an hour of waiting , we called. Told 3 different stories including food was on the way, then it was ready, then it was about to be picked up. They said it would be 10 minutes. Despite the different stories, we gave them the benefit of the doubt. Called back 20 minutes later to say that we didn’t want to have cold food and asked to cancel the order. They argued that we couldn’t as it was on the way and we had to be really firm and say we couldn’t be sure it was on the way, that it would be cold and we wanted a refund. They eventually relented and said “you need to tell the driver it’s cancelled” we said that was fine but, obviously, no driver turned up as I don’t think they’d ever picked the food up

Takeaway. As I write this we are just eating amazing meal. Yes we have eaten at this restaurant and allways superb. Take my word the takeaway is top business

Very welcoming. We ordered then waited 30 mins for our starters but no problem. Very nice. Lamb chops a bit tough. Mains came 30 mins later. Worth waiting for . I had jafflong which was lovely. Hubby had korai, very nice . It’s now BYOB. No charge for corkage. Our bill, 2 starters, two mains, chapatis and rice £47 incl service charge. We would go back x x

Although can't fault the food, have to say was extremely disappointed to find out the restaurant no longer serves alcohol, and was also annoyed to find out we had been charged an extra £10 service charge on top of our meal which already came to £55 so came to £64 for just 2 of us as we had a banquet for 2 which was £50 and only had 2 small bottles of diet coke.. wasn't even offered the service charge back which should be optional to pay.. won't be going again!

My wife and I are regulars, live just down the road, normally go mid-week and even had Xmas lunch there. We went last Saturday night booked at 18.30. HRS Never again will we go on a Saturday night as they gave priority to the numerous collection / take away people. We had to wait one and half hours for our main course the service was outrageous my Bombay Biryani contained no eggs or potato . Given just the standard Biryani and was given a load of tosh as to the reason. Gave up on asking for the bill. No reduction was offered only an apology at the desk on payment NEVER GO ON A SATURDAY NIGHT UNLESS YOU WANT A LONG WAIT

We ordered a takeaway for collection with a variety of different meals for all of us. We were informed it would nmbe 30mins when in actual fact it took an hour. They did apologise and gave use a bottle of wine out of courtesy. Whilst some enjoyed their food, others were extremely disappointed the chicken tikka biryani was tastless and bland. The chicken tikka starter was nothing like the picture. When opened it was four chunks of chicken tikka in a box with a couple of sliced peppers. Mine was a chicken madras which although didn't taste too bad,it did however taste like it had been burnt. I was also surprised to find what could only be described as a thick chunk of bark.i have eaten here on multiple occasions and always found the food great. Very disappointed 😞

If I could give it a zero I would! Had takeaways before but decided to try the restaurant what a mistake! As soon as we walked in the older gentleman was miserable, wished we had walked out then! No draft beer, no large bottles of lager just overpriced small bottles. Poppadoms were as thin as tracing paper, chutneys were tasteless apart from the lime pickle and as for the curries, most tightest portions ever, gone are the days with big chunky bits of chicken, small tiny slices. Again, tasteless! Garlic naan, no garlic. Overpriced rubbish and felt really disappointed, will never return.

Never again !!!! From the moment we arrived the evening just got worse! Our waiter was rude and abrupt …. Waited an hour and a half four our food to arrive whilst 3 other tables arrived …. Ate …. And left ! No apology , no table service to check if we wanted drinks … When the food eventually came 4 of the meals were actually cold not even luke warm … Missing rice chips and naans .. By the time they arrived 20/25 mins later the food had been eaten. The worst customer service iv ever experienced ! This was a rare family get together that was completely ruined ! Shocking

WOW! Fantastic restaurant with dedicated and friendly staff who made the meal an experience. Best Indian in the area. Food is outstanding which is priced perfectly. On site parking is great and the staff were super helpful even when it came to ordering. Staff are a credit to the place. Would massively recommend this spot!

We went here for our 25th wedding anniversary meal as we were staying local to carnforth . It is a small restaurant with parking out front set in a authentic Indian restaurant theme. For starters we had the sharing platter grill with a side of poppadoms. Unfortunately the poppadoms did not seem to be cooked fresh as they came out 30 seconds after we ordered them and seemed a bit stale. This was the only disappointment of the meal however. The starters were very delicious and included the best onion bargis I've ever come across. For mains we had a mixed meat naga masala, a lamb balti along with rice and a side of cauliflower bargi, more onion bargis and nan bread. Now the wife and I know our curry's and these dishes was among the very best we have had and the nan bread was also delicious. (We had forgotten about the poppadoms experience by now ) Well worth a visit should you be in the area and if we ever are, we will certainly visit this place again. Certainly deserves a five star rating *****

Restaurant was cold , waiter abrupt. Starters was very nice but 2 hrs later no mains. Not even near ready. They were more concerned with takeout than actual diners. Very disappointing

We have tried to order take aways from here & 3 times we have been let down first time 2 hours long,so we ssid take it back & 2nd & 3rd time we picked up & still had to wait at least hour & half when it said online 30mins.very poor service will not use again

I had a wonderful meal at the Far Pavillion a few years back and this evening decided to order a takeaway online and have it delivered. Sadly it did not compare. Probably the worst takeaway Indian food I have tasted in a long time. Maybe takeaway is not the Far Pavillion's best option.

First and last visit, was early meal and restaurant was fairly busy. Waited rather a while for our meals. When food arrived it looked good apart from naan which were worst I've seen and tasted we ordered 2 but didn't eat them they were that bad. My dish was so heavy with coconut oil it left my mouth with horrid fatty residue. The decor is rather shabby and needs a good deep clean. I must say staff are very pleasant. But they need to sort out their act to survive. I hope they improve.

Far Pavilion, 25 Bypass Road, Bolton-Le-Sands, Carnforth LA5 8JA Tel: 01524 823316 Date of visit: 21st October 2023. I have reviewed this excellent establishment many times over the years, the last time being in January of this year. Consistently good, with friendly attentive staff, who have been with them for many years in most cases. A family run business now run by the original owner’s son, Sam. Situated on the A6 near Carnforth on the edge of the lake district well worth the effort to visit and look around. Just a few miles from Lake Windermere. Tonight, I choose from their extensive and varied menu Pop’s with the excellent pickle tray. As on this occasion I took a friend we decided on the mixed Starter for two which consisted of, Chicken Pakoras, Shish Kebabs, Onion Baji, chicken Tika, with a selection of dips the mint dip being particularly worthy of a mention. Next round was for me, Chicken Ceylon, Now I have to say that this dish was excellent, big soft succulent chunks of chicken breast in a well spiced three chilli, coconut sauce. Trust me one of the best I’ve had for a very long time. My friend went for the Butter chicken on my advice but unfortunately, it was a little on the sweet side for her. Soft fragrant fluffy Pilau rice and an excellent peshwari Naan completed the order. As I was not driving, I allowed myself the indulgence of two pints of Cobra to help it all down. This place will continue to be up there in my top five restaurants. Just a shame it is not nearer to where I live! Parking no problem £65.00 for the quality is more than acceptable. 9.5 /10

This used to be the best Indian restaurant in the area. Unfortunately, now it's worse than average. Prices have risen- understandably. However, portion sizes have reduced too much and the food quality has gone down. I believe people are happy to pay more if portion sizes and food quality is good. We've had several meals hoping we were experiencing blips, but no, thus seems ti ge tge new norm. We will now be trying elsewhere.

What excellent service from start to finish. The staff went out of their way to help us when we were unable to get a taxi there. The food was also fantastic, highly recommend this place.

Well the fruit flies were very welcoming, although they were very quick. The food was meidocre to poor .... not a great experience or culinary treat. Service was very undesirable .... Embarrassed inviting a good friend who was visiting from Glastonbury .... just hope our stomachs are okay tomorrow .... never again!!

Awful food. Worst Indian takeaway meal ever in over60 years. Inedible and sour. Chicken leg served instead of breast meat .if they tried this in Glasgow they would be run out of town.

The visit was a disappointment. I ordered the Chicken Tika Jalfazei which was not up to their normal standard. The chicken was so tough that it was difficult to cut with a knife, basically very dry and tasteless. I only tried one piece and left the meal. I did inform them, but I just got the standard answer, we will tell the chef. I will not be back until I hear it improves

Once again great service and the best indian in the area by far.... value for money and the food always consistant. We go at least twice a month, no other local indian comes close, worth the drive out.

Not a good experience at all. Poppadoms good, but can get that wrong really. Starters were both mixed tandoori starters and both inedible. One shami kebab undercooked and raw. One shami kebab just not very nice tasting. Lamb tikka was 🤢. Both tikka were unpleasant and goodness knows what cut of meat was being used. One of them actually had a vein running through!? Lamb chop was ridiculously small in both size and content of meat. Needless to say that both were sent back. Credit to restaurant. Didn’t try to charge, not that we would have paid anyway at £7.50 per starter. Main meals were okay. Pathia and Roshuni. Again though cuts of meat in way of chicken tikka was questionable. Mixed of breast and thigh meat I’d suggest. Rice and bread good. Children had nuggets and chips however I’d question the hygiene and standards of the place given the dishes came with nuggets, chips and bits of onion bhaji. Suggests all three may have been cooked in the same oil, which wouldn’t be any good for a vegetarian. I’d suggest asking questions if you’re a veggie. Shame really because it’s situated in a decent place and is good size restaurant. Won’t be returning unless I see good reviews appear

Booked for dinner on a Wednesday evening having had a good meal last month on a Friday evening, however service was slow (over 2 hours just to have pompadoums followed by a curry), no offer of a desert or coffee, just the bill and two small chocolate mints put in front of us. Both order the same meal as previously but the King Prawn Jafflon only had one king Prawn and two pieces of orange, the rest was a rather sweet sauce that did not seem to taste of anything. Such a shame that this mid-week visit did not match our first experience! No sure it us worth visiting again.

Give this a big miss.we got a takeaway and got served a child's meal for £28 totally unacceptable and no joy out of them when we complained typically we've got your money sod you so be very wary if you use these robbers 😡😡😡😡😡

We eat here quite often, food is always good. Service normally good but can get a bit iffy. Today decided to get a takeaway, using the app for the first time. ADVICE, do NOT use the app to order food. It adds at least £1...

Starters of onion baji and meat samosas really tasty. Main curries not good, unpleasant and all 4 different curries so sweet and no taste other than sugar and over powering sweetness. Samber sauce is meant to be sour and even described as sour on menu...

Great starters, onion bahji and meat samosas absolutely gorgeous . Shame about the main curries, pathia, Samber both very sweet which unfortunately spoiled both dishes. Did offer to change the Samber but wanted to eat with the rest of the family. Not sure if this...

Ordered Chicken Tikka Massala and it was disgusting: tough Chicken, very greasy and strange flavours. Even the mushroom pilau rice was greasy. Cheesy garlic naan didn't have any cheese on it. Service was very slow. OVERALL SCORE 2 OUT OF 10

Having read some of the negative reviews we were a little apprehensive about visiting Far Pavilion but were soon reassured by the Good Foo & Service. Will definitely return on our next visit to Carnforth

Hadn't been for a while, booked a family table for six. Perfect Friendly greeting, lovely starters particularly the fresh Onion Bhajis. All main courses and sides were perfectly cooked and presented by attentive polite staff. couldn't fault a single thing. All in all highly recommended...

Excellent menu. Plenty of items to choose from. Staff very friendly and courteous. Quality of food was excellent. Been here before and we are never let down.

I booked a party of 19 at the restaurant on a Saturday night, they asked us the drop our orders off the week before as we were a large group,the staff there are all so helpful and friendly and will do anything for you,I asked for one large table for our booking and they had no problem doing this,when it came to receiving our food they brought it all in on a trolley and everybody received what we had ordered the week before,this was done so professionally and without any mix ups,very impressed, The food was absolutely beautiful, I think each and everyone of us ordered something different and it all looked soo good,we will definitely be back to this restaurant, perfect food and lovely staff what more could you ask for 10/10 *****

This place has an incredibly extensive menu. Faced with such choice we opted for two dishes on the Beng family menu, not sure what to expect. The Dilkush, a sizzling platter with onion and paneer cheese, and the Achari, in sauce with incredibly rich flavour, were both superb. We noticed on the road sign on our way out that Mr Beng was the proprietor who sadly died this May, our condolences to you, his legacy clearly lives on. Thank you for looking after us very well on my mother's 90th birthday.

Ordered take away second time this month, second time they have got the order wrong food here is usually really good but they seem to be unable to deliver what is ordered over the phone and when rang the manager appears indifferent to the fact they have delivered incorrectly

We had noticed the Pavillion a couple of times as we passed it on our way to Carnforth so decided to go for a treat.We were greeted at the door by a very friendly young man and shown to our seats, he gave us the menus and got our drink order. I had chicken rolls, I have lost my sense of taste but these made my eyes water, I had to order more lager to cool my mouth, I then had lamb shashlik, when I have had this at other restaurants it comes with a vegetable curry and nann but this was just the shashlik. I really enjoyed the amount of meat with peppers, onions and tomatoes. A sauce would have been good as I found it a little dry.

One of the best Indian restaurants I've tried, all the staff we came in contact with were very helpful & very pleasant, I would thoroughly recommend this place to anyone from or visiting the area

Had a great meal this evening ,tasty and plentiful. Both of us left very happy . pity we live so far away from this restaurant.

So glad they do a delivery service. The menu is extensive however that doesn't effect their standard of food. Have ordered various different dishes couldn't fault anything. Together with the excellent food excellent service I would also like to say big thank you to driver. What a cool dude!

First and last time we will visit.The chicken tikka starter was dry but edible and the samosas were OK.The main meals were over salty and oily.When we spoke to the server he told us there was no salt. We had to argue with him.He then suggested another dish instead of offering the one we ordered but with no salt which suggests that this is not freshly cooked to order.The second dish had the same issue too much salt.We told him again. So far my husband has eaten half his starter and poppadoms.When we got the bill we were charged £48 for a meal that couldn't be eaten and half a meal The attitude of the staff was disappointing and disgusting to say the least. The staff openly talked about us at the bar...maybe you should stop serving below standard food and then have the cheek to charge people for it especially when we didn't even eat it.Save your money and get a ready meal it will taste better and cost less!!What a real shame

Been using the Far Pavillion for takeaways through out the pandemic, food always great, delivery service works well and the delivery drivers always friendly and cheerful, thanks for your service.

We have been here about 4 times now and have never been disappointed. The food is amazing. The sharing starter for 2 was really good value.

This Indian restaurant was recommended by my bed and breakfast host and we were very pleased with our experience. A nicely decorated facility we were shown to our table and made to feel safe and comfortable immediately. The range of food is very extensive and we asked for advice which was helpful in our choices. In a word delicious, so don’t be afraid to ask. It’s a pity we were just visiting. It would be nice to have this place back home. Highly recommended.

After a few excellent takeaways, we went for a meal recently shortly after the restaurant was reopened with appropriate anti-COVID precautions. The tables were well spaced and windows were open. The staff wore masks. As ever at this eaterie, the food was of excellent quality and very reasonably priced. We enjoyed our evening.

Just had first takeaway from this restaurant and won't be the last. Very tasty and made fresh. Just how i like it. Hot and spicy. Will be coming back when we can sit in

Yet another fantastic meal. Can't fault anything but the Pathia, Madras and onion bhajis were especially good. Many thanks.

Very good reputation locally is always a good start. Service is great and the food is absolutely excellent. Faultless.

Firstly this is the first restaurant I have been to where full compliance with COVID secure guidance was practiced. Very well done. Santiser, details taken, temp checks, clear tables, masks worn properly at all times and more.Secondly the food was excellent. We had some of the specials which were different and very good

After some years we returned for a takeaway which is the only option in these COVID days. It was very easy to order the food on their website and when I turned up five minutes before the appointed time, my order was ready to collect. The curries we had were excellent and the whole experience was a pleasure. We shall be back in the near future.

Really good value for money; food was lovely, very clean and Covid safe. Great little find whilst we were away.

Decided to book a meal here and what a fabulous meal it was for both my husband and I from a friendly welcome on entering to being seated in a comfortable clean environment. Menu full of delectable Indian cuisine and we made our selections.Food prepared fresh beautifully presented and tasted great. What more could you want. Have been here a number of times over the years and it has never disappointed.

We had a takeaway tonight for the first time since before lockdown. The food was absolutely top class. Madras, Dhansak, popadoms all superb. Staff as welcoming and pleasant as ever. Can't recommend highly enough.

Ordered a takeaway earlier this evening and asked for 4 popadoms plus chutneys along with a curry, rice and nan bread. My husband collected it and when I was serving up the food I noticed we hadn’t been given any chutneys I rang the restaurant and they were not interested and said no chutneys had been ordered and we hadn’t been charged for them! Who would order Popadoms without chutneys They also said that the driver was too busy to drop some off for us even though we are only 5 mins away. They just weren’t interested or bothered by the fact that our dinner was ruined and just said next time you come in you can have free chutneys. Very disappointed ☹️ and wouldn’t use them again.

Staying in the area and having eaten in some very good Indian restaurants, having travelled across India we'd put this restaurant right up there, parathas fresh and clean plates all round, a little gem.

this Indian restaurant is absolutely amazing We go regularly to dine,we have a campervan so the dine in being closed doesn't matter. We travel from Halifax to dine here the food is that goodThe food is fantastic and the service is excellent, would definitely recommend

Had a takeaway. First the good bits 1.Mixed tandoor starter was OK2.Aloo gobi side dish was pretty good and cauliflower had a nice bite but it was a little greasy Bad bits1.king prawn behari had not very many king prawns in it for the eye watering 13.95 they charged and the sauce was not good 2.the lamb vindaloo was bland 3.the veg samosas were bland and basically mashed potato with a filo wrapping . Tasted as good it soundsConclusion I wont be going again but fair play to them they are packed most nights so it would appear that they are giving the public what they want and as there is no real competition I doubt things will change . I remember the place when it was a little chef in the 80s and thought the menu more imaginative and tasty then

Brilliant as always. Great treat in lockdown. Second takeaway in a couple of weeks. Food was really tasty and the added bonus of complimentary extras! The ordering process was simple and easy safe collection. Will definitely be back!

This is our local Indian restaurant and we have never had a bad meal. Due to the Corona virus they are only doing take away at the moment so we ordered online and it was ready for collection on my arrival. All hygiene precautions were being taken that I could see. The food was as wonderful as always, tasty and fresh. Hope to be back again soon.

The Far Pavilion is my favourite local restaurant. In light of the Corona Virus outbreak the staff have been so helpful and dedicated. Excellent take away and collection service still provided and the excellent quality is excellent as always.

Excellent as always. Great food with flavour as well as heat. Very friendly staff giving prompt service. We never go anywhere else!

went tonight (Friday) without booking no problem even although it was busy. Staff were great very polite and helpful without being over bearing. Our Starters were good and tasty served in a reasonable time. The mains were great with lots of heat in mine my wife had a milder one chicken with a cream and orange based curry she loved it. I would recommend this place to curry lovers. The choice of dishes is massive. All in all a good experience.

Popped in here on Sunday for dinner. My sheesh kebab starter was good although I felt ever so slightly undercooked. We had the Chicken Bhuna main (didn't taste of much) and the Chicken Balti (lovely hot and sour flavour). Rice and naan breads were excellent. Would give this place 3.5 out of 5.0.

Seating area - only had to wait 5 minutes while table prepared. Chairs very comfyHouse white - not too sweet, not too dry, easy drinking to have with a meal. Polite staff, all very well dressed Menu very varied with family recipes, signature dishes and then more traditional dishes. Most mains had the choice of chicken, lamb, prawn vegetarian or mixed. Papadum and dips Not oily and you can tell are fresh. The dips a good combination of mild and ones with a kick. Chicken chaat - very generous portion, chicken cooked perfectly and a great variety of flavours. Bread underneath was cooked very well and not doughy Special mixed biryani - very generous portion, sauce that came with it was a vegetable curry with a good balance. The omelette was very light and covering the rice. The rice had good spices and a good variety of meat and prawnsCheese naan bread - drizzled with cheese rather than smothered but very tasty My husband enjoyed his meal so much he left some of it on purpose so he could have some for lunch. Best Indian I have had for a while

I am local . I have recently moved here and was recommended this establishment. I ordered a chicken tikka butter . I have never had s curry as bad as this . The consistency was thin and oily like they had just used the pan all evening. The chicken was not tikka and was like an after thought about as much use to go in a soup..:: very poor for £14 for a takeaway..

Great food, attentive service, would thoroughly recommend, definitely the best within a 20 mile radius

We had Sunday lunch here Indian style and it was excellent. We would certainly go again and take friends next time - give it a try and enjoy

Just had my first meal from far pavillion. We collected and was still piping hot when we got home , food was very fresh and tasted great , service was fast and staff polite . Would have had 5 stars but for the price I thought the portion sizes were slightly small , apart from that it’s definitely worth a visit and we will be ordering again.

We were here over the festive break with friends. We have been before and always look forward to returning. The menu is pretty extensive and service is quite good. It's located alongside the road to Canforth so easy enough to find.

Haven’t visited this restaurant for years. Will certainly make the effort to visit again. Pleasant welcome. Friendly and jovial staff, efficient service on a Friday evening and really tasty food in nice surroundings.

Third time to Far Pavilion,Absolutely excellent, top class food,service outstanding, staff superb, lovely clean restaurant very comfortable. The food can only be described as outstanding, amazing Would definitely recommend

I know this place can get busy busy and I wouldn't have been surprised by a short wait, however, to be standing around from 19:30 to 20;50 for a takeaway order (only 4 meals/sides) along with a number of other people just isn't acceptable. I asked for some discount and was given a 'fiver' off a £60+ order, whilst others asked for a full refund and left hungry. When I got home the order was incomplete! When I rang to make them aware, all I got was "we'll take it off your next order".

Nice meal and friendly owners and staff. Meal was lovely. Plenty of food. Free carpark. Nice interior
