Fort of India in St. Helens

food was good, but much spicier than expected

Heard lots of good things about this place so thought I’d try, ordered the chicken tikka masala and pilau rice, just no flavour at all, really wouldn’t order from here again. Also noticed the reviews are all repeats under the same name so no doubt they aren’t all real. Shame really but I would say the food was really poor and not nice at all but the service was really quick

Best Indian food around for miles

Best Indian in Newton-le-Willows!

Absolutely perfect! Super hot when delivered and really tasty. Good onion bahjis too... They were huge!

Great meal and great delivery. Thanks again

First time ordering from here and I would order again food was gorgeous and it arrived hot and on time

We have ate in and had takeaway before which was nice but the Madras sauce this time was not spicy enough and we have had upset stomachs which is disappointing and would put us off ordering again.

The food was pleasant enough and a reasonable price but there was far too much of it and the chef must have had an accident with the red food dye - everything was an eye-popping scarlet which, without going into enormous detail, was very apparent the following morning.

Delicious and super quick 10/10 🙏

Just fabulous yet again....my go to Indian restaurant

Visited this restaurant for a meal with the family. It was a beautiful cush setting, rather cosy if you will and felt very homely. All the staff were very friendly and attentive. Their generosity knows no bounds. The food was fresh and mouthwateringly delicious, the selections they have were absolutely divine. I, for one, will highly recommend locals to visit this brilliant establishment. If you love an old school curry made with heart and Bengal devotion, then this is the only place to be.

amazing food as always simple the best around gorgeous food really tasty

1st time order and really enjoyed the meal

Delivery time was OK, however the curry had gone all over the bag and the food was cold. disapointing.

Very nice food, nice and hot on arrival and delivered earlier than expected which is always a bonus!

Best Indian we have had in a ages, very hot, tasty and good amount for the price will be returning

Food was rubbish and meat was tuff and too many onion badges in the starters would not go again

The lamb chops although really tasty where way over done but the rest of the food was amazing. The wife’s curry was the best she’d ever had.

Lovely Food will definitely be ordering again

Best Indian around!!!! All the staff are very welcoming & can’t do enough for you. You need to take your own alcohol but their is a wide choice of soft drinks if you are driving.

The best, authentic Indian restaurant in the area. The food and service are second to none.

Very tasty biryani and I did enjoy the omelette that comes with it.

Food is always 10/10 when we get an Indian! Arrived hot, super tasty and by a lovely delivery lady.

Gorgeous food! This is becoming my favourite! Only a small order tonight for the kids whilst I'm injured... Naan, tikka korma, poppadoms and dips... All gorgeous!

Bring your own alcohol - pay corkage. Great meal & wonderful service. The portions are generous too.

excellent food never disappoints.

I didn't receive the popadoms that I ordered

Decided to go back to this place with a work colleague after the last visit was so good. Exceptional service from the 2 guys working in the restaurant, very friendly and attentive. Was recommended the chicken tikka thawa by a regular customer and it did not disappointing, very flavoursome and layered , lots of chicken. Highly recommended and will return again soon.

Always stunning, never had a bad meal from here!

Absolutely delicious! Thank you!

Great value for money, tasty food and arrived on time

Excellent food , good atmosphere. Staff very friendly and give a quality service. Food was tasty and will 100% be going again.

Prompt and delicious as always.

Food was excellent , staff so welcoming and first class service, the nicest chicken tikka Korahi I’ve tasted for a long while! Great that you can take your own wine. Would definitely return.

We’ve been to fort of India a couple of times in the past but unfortunately the food wasn’t great on this occasion. Both curry’s we ordered were very oily and greasy, and the fort special which was supposed to be spicy was very mild. Onion bhajis were too hard too. Disappointed on this occasion.

Haven't been for a while, glad to say food is just as good, excellent service and great value for money, especially the early evening offer. And the long overdue makeover has made it look so much fresher and more modern.

Very disappointing, onion bhaji where soggy not crispy, chips same soggy had finish them of in the air fryer, the tikka masala was ok, was nothing special, would of sent it back if I wernt so hungry,

Wouldn't order lamb again, I don't know what it was but definitely not lamb! Otherwise food delivered early, piping hot and the poppadoms were fab.

Was expecting a lot better for the price we paid. Chips were cold, curry was “meh”. Onion bhajis were really good though.

Really good food ..the starter for two was Exceptional nice and tender 🫡

Lovely evening meal with the family last night, the food was excellent as always, and we were made to feel very welcome, the staff looked after us throughout the night, nothing was to much trouble, The Fort is a credit to the High Street, keep up the good work.

Food delicious as always.But one of our choices was the wrong thing. Heigh ho it was Christmas Eve, they’re forgiven.

Excellent food and before the estimated delivery time. Will order again.

Lovely food. The best Indian restaurant in the area.

Fast delivery, friendly service & tasty, hot food.

Nice flavours but minimal chicken and not great quality

Absolutely fantastic. Will order again.

Beat curry locally. Consistently delicious and good quality food delivered promptly.

Lamb tough in starter too much red colourant starter meat tough sauce watery onion bhagi nice

We usually go here for a takeaway but this time it was ridiculous 2.5 hours to arrive the food was cold and I had to ring up twice and spoke to 5 different people who then went on to tell me the wrong order is waiting to be collected

Delivered in plenty of time by a friendly delivery driver, the food was piping hot and delicious as always!!

Food from Fort of India was amazing (always is), and it was a bonus that it arrived so quickly!!

We booked a table on the 20/10 2023 for 8. P clock we had booked it a week in advance when we arrived we were rushed to order our food and then inf they needed to close the restaurant at 9 o clock due to a family wedding this night was for my 60 th birthday with friends which was ruined by being rushed I was very disappointed by this the booking should never have been confirmed

One of the best I have tasted my new Indian takeaway

The food was nice piping hot ..but we spent £55 thought they would have given us some popadoms or something so will stick to our normal Indian take away they value your custom and always send a little bonus item

Lovely food very tasty, pleasant delivery fella

Pretty tasty, but my order was wrong (Lamb tikka arrived instead of chicken tikka on one of the two main dishes I ordered). Swapped with the g/f as she doesn’t eat lamb. Delivery was a little later than initially advertised (10mins) but I was kept updated via the JustEat app, and the driver was very polite when it did arrive.

Nice chicken vindaloo and garlic rice. Bhaji a bit disappointing, dry and tasteless. Will give them another go though as enjoyed the main bit very much.

Great old school traditional Indian restaurant.

I would have given 5 stars but I ordered aloo gobi and it had 4 large pieces of cauliflower and sauce no potatoes whatsoever hoping its a one off because the food is usually spot on

The Fort has been a favourite for years, always good food and friendly staff, the takeaway service is great.

Great meal with family,catching up as we live up north, Tyne and Wear penshaw.We all had the special for £16.50 for four courses, all different meals & all were good.Servics was first rate.We will call back again sometime. 😍 Lovely night out with the family. X.

Stunning food, good size portions. Great restaurant.

Excellent food, really friendly staff. Saw the teatime special deal when I was collecting and will definitely use in future

A most pleasant first experience and plan to visit again

Very filling and flavoursome food!

Consistently brilliant food and service

Masala quite dry. Nothing to put on the nan.

Excellent service and food quality, definitely recommended

I have run out of superlatives.

Arrived on time,food excellent as always

We’ve been going The Fort of India for 25 years and still the quality of the food is the same quality as day one when we first went. Also you can take your own alcohol in which is a bonus. I would highly recommend this restaurant it never seems to fail always delivers. Thank you 😊

I’ve never had a chicken tikka Bombay with frozen peas and lots of them sounds weird I know it’s all it consisted off peas peas and more peas was hard to find anything else

Food was delivered hot and fresh. Definitely order from them again

Beautiful food, perfect portions too. Delivery was amazing! I would highly recommend.

We always order a biryani from here but tonight it was so spicy, I'm hoping it was a one off as the food from here is always spot on

Beautiful food as always! Thank you

Very polite and courteous delivery and excellent food quality

Excellent quality, perfect service & good prices. We don’t order from anywhere else

Great food and prompt delivery

Very underwhelming food, very bland and swimming in oil, I actually poured this out of the dishes, majority of the food was thrown away, absolutely gutted as the fort of India used to be one of the best around.

Foods always 10/10. Best curry around :) lovely delivery driver, arrived early and piping hot. We don’t go anywhere else.

Delicious food, delivered piping hot, by a nice delivery person 😋

First time trying as someone recommended to us food is very tasty restaurant quality. Took a while to come but we did order later in the evening - was well worth the wait we will definitely order again!

Food was the worst Indian I have tasted Bland no flavour and the meat was like it was warmed up from last night Grizzly and fatty. The onion barge was over cooked I had 2 spoons full and threw the whole meal in the bin a waste of money

Love this place. Great food, great service.

We order from here regularly and the same meal, but tonight the Balti Bombay was extremely hot nothing like had before .. I couldn’t eat it tonight and waited all day for the treat .. have u done something different or got a different chef ? Although everything else was very good

Delivery was quite slow, but the food was abysmal. Uncooked shammi kebab, discoloured. Ice cold upon delivery.

Always nicely decorated. You can see they spend money keeping the place looking smart. I've been a customer here since they opened around 1996. The food has always been good and still is. The big change is they don't serve alcohol now, so take your own.

Delicious food delivered with a smile

Outstanding flavour! Naans are beautifully soft. This place will never let you down. Excellence guaranteed every time.

A little bit hit and miss sometimes but usually excellent food and service. Chicken tikka chilli masala was amazing and the lamb tikka garlic was amazing one week but not that great the week earlier. Best on the high st though.

I was very disappointed with the food. Ordered Lamb chops which you couldn't bite through as they were so tough. Even with the knife it was an ordeal to cut. Ordered 2 Lamb dishes and again, the Lamb was tough and grisly. One of the Two dishes was considerably smaller than the other so when i asked why, the waiter said, the quantity of this dish is smaller than the others. What a load of nonsense. The bowl was tiny with hardly ant meat in and the same price! A blatant insult. Never again. The Fart of India.

Unfortunately the sirloin steak I ordered was 3 pork chops which was fatty with lots of gristle and bits of kebab meat, after paying £16.35 including delivery it was my money wasted, shame as this usually my favourite takeaway restaurant

Delicious food as always and lovely service

Always fantastic food, eating in or take away!

Never a bad experience! My favourite Indian in newton

As always the curry here is second to none. We went as 4 couples and every starter and curry was delicious. Its BYO as well so at £40 per couple you can't ask anymore!

First time visit but very enjoyable, food was great and the service also. Would definitely return when back in that area
