This visit was a real surprise! Many years since I have been here, so wasn’t sure what to expect, but the decor, food and service were excellent. As friends, we visit other Asian restaurants in the area, but this was the best food we have eaten for some time! Would recommend.

I dont normally leave reviews, but I was just online to get the phone number to book for tomorrow night for my sons birthday. We usually go to the Jewel in the Crown in Bury, but in September we tried Forts for a change and the food was great. Service was good too. Am looking forward to tomorrow nights meal, and hopefully it will be another 5 star review.

It was my first time at Fort of India and all the staff from the moment we walked through the door were very welcoming. There were six of us who were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday, and all of us said the same thing the food was lovely and lots of it. We will definitely go again to Fort of India.

Usually spot on , but tonight item missing from £52 takeaway order. When phoned to enquire, received apology but asked to come back to re-collect. Didn’t fancy another 15mins drive. Asked instead for credit the item back on card, refused as “don’t know how to work machine”! Asked for them to deliver then, “no cannot do”! Only offer was to ask next time I order….won’t be ordering again. Not exactly good customer service.

I don’t think I’ve ever received as rude customer service as I did upon entering this restaurant. We came at 9:50PM, which is admittedly later than normal but the restaurant doesn’t close until 11PM. When we entered we were frowned at when asking for a table, no smiles, no pleasantries, and was told we have 40 minutes - which is incorrect, but sure. We decided that was enough time to eat and have a nice time. The waiters looked around awkwardly before one of them decided to take us to a table. Immediately after sitting down the waiter comes over and again, no pleasantries, just says “what do you want to drink”, we ask for a couple minutes to look at the menu and he replies with “well you need to be eaten and gone in 15-20 minutes”. How rude!? First of all we had about an hour still. I’ve worked in the service industry, I know how it works. I’m glad we left and didn’t give them the satisfaction of giving us food they could apparently cook in 10 mins. Never felt so unwelcome in a restaurant in my life. My first experience with the restaurant and don’t think I’ll be coming back again. To conclude, I’ve attached an image of when I started typing this review and it says it still doesn’t close for 43 minutes and that’s after I’ve got back home. Laughable service.

Visited here recently after never having been before. Waiter was the rudest person any of us have ever encountered. He treated us like an inconvenience.. He literally rolled his eyes at us when we were asking questions. He ruined the whole experience. Would not recommend at all due to his terrible attitude. No wonder it's always empty. Too many good alternatives in the area to have to deal with such ignorance. Food was mediocre too.

Visited the Forts of India in Whitefield on Sunday (17-11-19). When I fancy a tandoori meal rather than a curry I like a side portion of tarka dhal rather than a curry sauce and also prefer to make the meal up from a few starters rather than a tandoori mix, so I ordered Chicken Tikka, Fish Tikka, Seekh Kebab, Tarka Dahl and a Peshwari Naan. This was a very enjoyable meal and, unusually for me, I preferred it to a lunch I had in Chinatown a few days earlier. This is not perhaps quite the cheapest curry house in the area but there is more choice than some other places and value and quality are every bit as good.

Ordered a takeaway delivered from the Forts last night and it was excellent. The food was delivered promptly and politely, exactly as ordered, and I particular liked that on placing my telephone order, I was told how much it would cost. All the food tasted fresh, it was well packaged and still hot, and the curry had generous amounts of chicken and a good spicy kick. Sides were all good. No criticisms at all, and would happily order again

Yesterday we decided to go for dinner with my husband and little after work(both work in indian restaurant an really love indian food). When we arrived at restaurant around 18.45 only couple of tables in. After couple of minutes someone arrived to take our drinks order and i asked what kids menu options are person said that he doesn't know and someone will come to take food order. After 5 more mins another person arrived to take food order. He told me that there was nuggets, fish fingers and curry. When asked if curry was mild was assured that yes it's mild. So ordered kids menu. Kids curry came spicy so she couldn't eat it. Had to order something else. Our starters took 20min to arrive king butterfly prawns was mainly only breadcrumbs and tandoori chicken tasteless. Then was left waiting for mains for 45min. In mean time one of waiters came and said "so you all finished" i was like "no we still waiting for our mains and we still want to keep chips" he said "so why then you have chips and curry at the table?" My husband said that that's child food but he still kept trying to remove it. I went really annoyed and was like can you leave child food alone. So finally he understood and left. When it came to bill we were charged for extra things which we haven't had. When mentioned to server he wasn't really pleasant but removed extra stuff. Service was horrible but at least mains were good. Definitely not going there again.

Since moving to Bury in November 2015 I have regularly visited three Indian restaurants and alternate according to my mood. If I want somewhere within walking distance with a pub type atmosphere 'The Jewel in the Crown' gets the vote but if I want somewhere for a family party the 'Armaan' in Radcliffe gets it. If, however, the quality of the food is what matters the 'Forts' is the place. The food is very enjoyable in all three places but this place has a small but definite edge. I last visited on Thursday (28.2.19) and had Chicken Liver Tikka, Chicken Haandi with Lemon Rice while my friend had Fish Pakora, Balti Mix and a Chapati and we shared a side dish of Tarka Dhal. The atmosphere is usually fairly sedate and vale is excellent.

A great local Indian for me. Since moving to Whitefield in 2017, I have visited this restaurant 10/11 times - It never disappoints. The food quality is always good, the flavours are delightful and the menu selection is varied. It is nice to have an Indian on the doorstep which provides high end presentation to Indian food and quality cooking with an exciting menu. It is something different to a lot of Indians you can visit.Would definitely recommend this place to anyone local looking for a quality, high end Indian.Service is always polite although a little quiet (Conversation-less). The ambience/style of the restaurant is nice (Albeit a little try hard) and it is always a busy/bustling atmosphere. I also think despite being a little higher in price than some other local Indian restaurants, it is very good value for money.Some of the clientele is sometimes questionable - but they can't help that! Lol! Highly recommend and will continue to visit so long as I live local.

We had a table booked for 7.45pm, were seated and orders taken within reasonable time. Popadoms came before the drinks which we had to ask again for. When they eventually brought the drinks, one had sold out so my friend had to order something else. About 15 minutes after we finished the popadoms we were told that the mushroom starter 2 of us had ordered was sold out and were asked to choose something else. We declined as we didn’t fancy anything else. About 15 mins after this the starters arrived, including 2 onion bhajees on the house as the mushroom was sold out, which was kind of them but we didn’t really want them. Time was passing and we were waiting and waiting for the mains. Asked a couple of times and were told they were short staffed and the food would be here soon. No apology. Mains finally arrived at 9.35pm, almost 2 hours after we arrived. Food was nice enough but we were past being hungry. Many other tables were also waiting an hour or longer for their food and were getting impatient.When the bill arrived they had charged us for the 2 mushroom starters that we didn’t have as they were sold out, plus we were charged £12 for 2 bottles of beer that we hadn’t ordered. No apology, they just said they will take it off the bill. We had 3 different stories off the waiter, and what we assume were the manager and the owner about why they were short staffed!!! They couldn’t even get their excuses to match, and only a forced apology as we left. We have been here many many times before but never again. If they are short staffed and know there’s going to be a delay, they should advise us when we arrive. And they should agree on the same story to tell the customers!!! And at least pretend to be sorry and offer an apology. Its a shame as the food is nice but being charged an extra £24 or so on top of horrendously poor service and them not seeming to care.......

Got to say that our meal tonight was faultless. Six of us ate here and not one of us had anything negative. Most of us thought it was one of the best meals of this type we have had. I had the Balti Naga and thanks for once the spice was not numbed down, brilliant. Service by the staff was excellent and very friendly. They do kingfisher which I prefer. Also they served the soft drinks in bottles. My soda and lime was fevertree, two small bottles. Very nice. Loved everything about tonight. Thanks and well done.

We have visited here for many years, however only tend to go on special occasions as the interior is lovely and makes it feel like quite an upmarket place. However last night we were disappointed and decided we wouldn’t be returning. The service was VERY slow, we waited 50 minutes for our main meal to come, and the place wasn’t completely full. Then, when the food came it was nice enough and saucy, however the flavour was quite lacking. Another table around us sent the food back and most had to wait a long time so it wasn’t just us. A shame really.

I don’t really like leaving negative reviews. I’d much rather leave good ones. But last night I am afraid to say we had frankly the worst Indian meal we’ve ever had anywhere. Not only was the service incredibly slow but the food was utterly bland and incredibly tasteless. How an Indian restaurant that prides itself on its Baltis can serve up such a poor tasteless Chicken Balti is beyond me. It was just as if they had run out of ingredients, had run across to the local cheap supermarket, and bought the cheapest most basic curry on offer and served it up in their own dishes. And they charged us full price for the privilege. We are almost certain that the pilau rice was packet rice as well. The chicken pakora starter tasted only of batter and the ‘chicken’ inside, although coated in something red, tasted literally like water. Where on earth was the flavour? I am sorry to have to say this but that food was awful and it needs to be said. Keep well clear of this place. We certainly will in future. Terrible.

I visited the Forts of India in Whitefield yesterday (31.5.18) and had a seekh kebab and king prawn samber with lemon rice; I also had a popadom, pickle tray and a couple of soft drinks for a cost of £29.15 without tip or service. I first had a samber, a fairly hot curry based on lentils and lemon juice, at the old Manzil in Ardwick which supplied curry paste etc to Manchester shops under the Nazir's brand name. This was an excellent version of the dish with plenty of prawns in a very tasty, hottish sauce. I like to keep the pickle tray to enjoy with the main course as I find the mango chutney and the yoghurt soothes my palate especially with a hotter curry. A very enjoyable and inexpensive meal in pleasant surroundings.

Never quite sure whether I prefer the Forts of India or The Jewel in the Crown but on this occasion the more sedate atmosphere of the Forts tipped the balance. I ordered a King Prawn Butterfly starter and a Tandoori Mixed Grill which comes with your choice of curry sauce, in this case Bhuna, and a Peshwari Naan. The starter consisted of two prawns, but they were very big ones, three or four bites each and were great in lovely crisp breadcrumbs with yoghurt and a salad. The Tandoori Mixed Grill comprised tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, lamb tikka, a lamb chop and shashlik kebab. Everything was well up to expectations, the Peshwari Naan was possibly the best I’ve ever had, and the meat was all good; OK the lamb tikka was a bit chewy, but I’ve never yet been in an Indian where it wasn’t. Overall, very good value at £28 including service.

On arrival we were rudely informed by staff that as it was a Saturday night we had 1 hour and 50 minutes to eat and we would have to leave. When we explained that we were informed we could have the table as long as we needed he basically told us tough! After a heated discussion we decided that we would leave and celebrate our evening elsewhere.The manager said we wouldn’t get anywhere at short notice and they would also make us leave the table after two hours. When we informed management we would be leaving he suddenly changed his mind offered the table for longer, apologised and said we could have drinks in the bar after!! Too little too late!! We shouldn’t have been misinformed on the telephone and we shouldn’t have had to argue to secure the table for more than 1 hour 50 minutes. So after immediately securing a table elsewhere which included excellent servicethey will be getting a good review!!!!

Our first Sunday buffet here as we live walking distance to another place in the area but fancied a change. Really nice food, the chicken saschlick was gorgeous. Help yourself to starters, mains and ice cream including naan, pilau rice and salad for 11.99. Not too rammed and a nice kingfisher or two :)

Yesterday (18.1.18) I visited the Forts of India in Whitefield and had a tandoori mixed starter (chicken tikka, lamb tikka and a kebab) followed by chicken haandi and lemon rice. This was a very good meal for twenty-four quid including a tip at one of my favourite Indians. Believe it or not a good curry is slightly cheaper at the ‘Jewel in the Crown’ in Bury but I still can’t make my mind up which I prefer overall. To some extent it’s down to whether on the night I happen to be in the mood for the slightly more sedate atmosphere here or whether I fancy the more matey, cheap and cheerful reception at the ‘Jool’.

Visited the ‘Forts of India’ in Whitefield on Tuesday (31.10.17) and had the mixed kebab starter and Chingri (prawn) Badshah with a Peshwari Naan. This is just a little bit more up market than the average curry house, the menu is more extensive (and slightly more expensive), the décor is better, but it still retains the basic curry house virtues of good, filling, tasty food at extremely reasonable prices. It isn’t the only decent Indian in the Bury area but it is definitely one of the better ones.

Everything about our visit to Forts of India tonight was just average. I booked online and we were told when we arrived that the booking hadn't been passed on to the restaurant, they seemed a bit annoyed by this but fitted us in, to be honest they could have fitted a dozen people in! The restaurant was busy but there were empty tables. Waiting on staff wandered around seemingly not looking for things to do. To be fair everything was ok. Its not the best Indian restaurant around but it's not the worst. Perhaps a special offer might tempt us back, or then again....

No ramp to gain access to restaurant two steps into a small area to open door to gain access - not a good start. Hadn't booked but were able to get seated - plenty of empty tables during on on exit ???Got a seat on main floor but still steps to negotiate for buffet - had to get somebody else to tell me what was available and what to get me.Staff great one good thing about restaurant food excellent but too much hassle to want to go again.If no mobility issues great but its not for me sadly.

I've eaten here before and everything was great, but was disappointed this time. Unfortunately there isn't an 'overall rating' to cover this visit, hence I've put Average.My friend and I popped in for a meal on Saturday evening around 8.15-ish , expecting it to be busy and to have to wait for a table. It wasn't a planned visit but we were in the area, which is why we just turned up. We were told there'd be a 20 minute wait which was fine with us. After five minutes we were taken to a table and by now there were one or two free tables. A young lady quickly came to take our drinks order, but didn't seem to know what was sold when we asked for an non alcoholic beer and a tomato juice - strangely for a restaurant with a bar neither were on offer.Then we waited. We had to ask several times if we could place our food order. Then we waited some more for it to be delivered to our table. Eventually the pappadums came with the pickle tray and a while later the starter. Two gentlemen at a table near to us were so fed up with waiting for their main course they got up to leave, but returned to the table accompanied by a member of staff and got the food served to them. From what I heard they'd been waiting about an hour. Lucky we had the starter because then we had another wait for our main course, which we chased a couple of times. By now it was almost 9.30pm and the restaurant was hardly busy.I must say that the food is very good here, but if the service continues like this I shan't be returning. One other thing, I noticed that when the waiter was offering the hot towels to the two men at the next table at the end of the meal, he opened the sachet and pulled out the towel handing it to each of them. He should have only opened the sachet and offered the towel to the client to remove himself, keeping it untouched by someone else. Yes, I pointed it out to him - couldn't help myself!!!!Should someone from the restaurant read this, I'd also like to point out that just because the pappadums are finished please ask you staff not to try to keep taking away the pickle tray. It's been paid for as a tray, not by a few spoons of pickle or sauce, so leave it on the table for your clients to use as an accompaniment to other courses. Thanks.

Went for a meal with my husband and daughter to Forts of India. What a delicious and enjoyable experience. My husband and I chose the Nawabi tandoori masala , ( tandoori chicken off the bone , cooked in a mild and creamy sauce using cashew nuts, almonds and galiane liquor and a special blend of tandoori sauce. Absolutely delicious, a great sweet meal. My daughter had the chicken Korma, and enjoyed every mouth full. Had a lovely table in the window, next to the waterfall display. With great view of the local area. Service was great, very attentive. Would definitely go again

El restaurante es muy agradable, moderno y limpio. La comida es muy buena sin ser excepcional, y está en la cara. Sin embargo, fue una agradable cena y volvería otra vez. La única cosa que yo no haría es un entrante. Con nuestro grupo todos tuvimos el plato a compartir que mezclado me pareció muy caro para lo que nos dieron, y sospecho que todas las otras entradas son las mismas. Volvería sin un entrante y un plato vegetariano adicionales tienen un lado con mi principal.

El director era grosero y poco servicial, arrogante más allá de cualquier cosa que he experimentado. El personal de decir lo que les hace decir, provocan también son groseros, pero el personal es muy asustado de él. Si no te gusta la comida no me quejo, a menos que quieras un abuso. Incluso me dio una segunda oportunidad y eran groseros de nuevo porque me acordé de la primera vez que me quejé. Si el propietario de este lugar me saco todo el personal y comenzar de nuevo.He estado muchas veces a lo largo de los años y que ha sido excelente, pero los últimos 6 meses, el lugar tiene peor y peor.

Llamado en 7. 30 El jueves por la noche y el lugar estaba relativamente tranquilo. Equipado con grandes bastante bien desde la ventana. Tenía el pollo tandoori para comenzar con la que estaba en el hueso y a diferencia de los habituales fresco pollo reconstituido. Platos principales de fantasma Dhall que era muy bonita con la lentejas el dente. Habituales de arroz y pan de acompañamiento de la comida. El precio era relativa. Me gustaría volver? Quizás. . . . .

Visitamos aquí recientemente habíamos reservado una mesa antes incluso semanas confirmando el día antes que a la llegada no estaba preparada para nosotros. Que fue la primera poco toda la noche de mal servicio al cliente. Queríamos tener bebidas mientras se espera el resto de nuestro grupo y nos dijeron que no podíamos usar efectivo en el bar a pagar por estos tendrían que ser añadidos a la factura mesa nunca había estado en ningún sitio donde se puede comprar bebidas en el bar! Sólo puedo asumir que es para agregar más cargo por servicio a la cuenta! ! El servicio era muy lento, muy caótica en numerosas ocasiones durante toda la noche la comida estaba bien, pero el pésimo servicio que recibimos nuestra noche completamente eclipsado y no volveríamos aquí también las bebidas a precios son exorbitantes.

Este es un encantador restaurante para comer. Es un ambiente moderno y muy agradable, que es luminoso y muy elegante. El personal es educado y amable, y el servicio es muy bueno. También tienen en proyecto que está Kingfisher una recomendación en mi libro! Los aperitivos eran muy bonitas. Tuvimos también la verduras y poppadums y mezclado fuente. En particular no me gustó mi plato, que era un plato nawabi, y lo que pensé que le faltaba carácter. Es un ambiente encantador para hablar y ponerse al día, así que en conjunto un muy agradable.
