Absolutely brilliant takeaway meal from this dine-in/takeaway restaurant! My (very fussy) other half said the rezala was the best tasting Indian dish he'd ever had! The meal was incredibly good value too, (£45) with more than enough to last us for two meals each. All dishes were excellent and the customer service was outstanding with a lovely, friendly, knowledgeable chap behind the counter. Fabulous, scrumptious food ..... our only regret about the experience being that we don't live in Louth (we were on holiday there - but we did freeze some to take home - very, very tasty even after being frozen).

Attended on a Friday night with a close friend. The atmosphere is fantastic: nostalgic, historic, romantic (if that’s what you’re after!), and cool. The staff were very knowledgeable about the food. My friend was new to Indian food and the staff went above and beyond to help her. Portion sizes were perfect and the food was magnificent. Full of authentic flavours and beautifully presented. Myself, friends and family always come hear. It’s the best Indian Restaurant in Lincolnshire by far!

This is a good Indian restaurant for food and service (the takeaway is poor for reasons that would take too long to theorise). It's reliable and consistent, has been here almost 40 years. Several of the staff have also been here many years. It's pretty cramped and dimly lit inside, which has always been the case. The prices are expensive by Louth standards. For drinks, they are utterly ludicrous and we've found ourselves going to the other two Indian restaurants in Louth, or out of town, on several occasions, due to this point alone. This is because if you have 3 or 4 people and you have 2 or 3 drinks each, it becomes prohibitive. It has long been known locally that it's on DRINKS that this place makes big money, sufficient to buy up neighbouring properties that have been empty for years. Banquet night (Wednesday) makes the food considerably better value and is now the only night we'll go on. You'll still be paying £4.75 for a pint of Coke though. That's equivalent to £16.72 for 2 litres, an interesting comparison given that it tastes very much like it's been poured from a bottle! 😳 We make sure we get our drinks in elsewhere beforehand. This is one of those rare situations where no individual aspect of the place is average, but when taken together, it's absolutely average.

Service was good and the pickle tray ok. Alas the rogan Josh was very disappointing and bland. I’ve had better Indian meals from my local supermarket. The waiter/chef asked us how our meal was and we was bluntly honest and told him it was very poor for an Indian meal and not at all spicy. I’ve experienced this at another Indian restaurant in Bridlington. It seems they tone it down to appeal to diners who don’t like spicy food. When I say spicy I don’t mean hot I mean you can’t really taste the Indian spices that usually make an Indian meal a special treat. He did knock me the price of two drinks off but our dining experience was spoilt as we had been looking foreward to it. And it still cost me £44. Doubt I’ll be back unless I hear good things about it in the future. I have dined here before with no issues so they must have changed the chef or cut down on the quality of the food.

Possibly the worst dining experience I have ever had. The initial drinks order got taken reasonably quickly but we were left for about another hour for our food order to be taken. It then took another hour and a half (2 and a half hours after sitting down) before any food was distributed. When the food did arrive it was cold and bland, many of the curries had only 2 or 3 pieces of chicken. They then tried to charge us for another tables drinks and were most unhelpful when it came to fixing this. Please note that the restaurant gets extremely hot and there is no ventilation which made one of our friends very ill and they had to leave having not eaten anything.

This place was a convenient walk from our digs and wanted an evening with my colleagues. The initial greeting was ok but the drinks order was slow to take . After the drinks had gone but still no sign of the food ordering , we tried to enquire but staff seemed to be busy with other tables but Finally got the order in!. An hour in we got a second round of drinks served but no sign of food . Around 2 hours + another chase for food ! So finally at Two 1/2 hr the food arrived ! There had not been any explanation as to why the delay, but the food was Far from appetising and left us wishing we’d gone to the Kebab shop nearby .. I would not recommend this establishment and certainly wouldn’t go there again.

Very disappointed, thought we would go here instead of our normal Indian restaurant for a change. The service was extremely slow and waited well over a hour for our food to arrive after ordering. The food it's self was nothing special and expensive for what we got, the portion of rice was small. My dish, chicken cham cham, was bland and not hot at all despite described as hot. We will not be returning and will stick with our regular Indian restaurant in Louth.

Upon arrival it was clear they had not made note of our reservation, which I had made weeks ago for Father’s Day. They put us in a cold empty room with zero atmosphere. I could see this was not the experience my father had hoped for, him having visited this restaurant many times in the past. So I went to the bar, leant over it - so as not to cause a scene & said it’s sh*t in there, please can we wait for a table in the main room? I was ushered back through, the manager who I had not even seen at the bar followed & started lecturing me on how I could not speak like that. That there were families in etc etc. but he just kept going raising his voice & reprimanding me. I have never been spoken to like that in all my adult life, let alone where I am a paying customer! We should have just left at this point, but it was Saturday night & we had traveled from Cleethorpes specifically to come here. We did get moved after a short time to the main room, nearby to the ONE family with the ONE small child, who’s father we heard at one point saying f*ck this & f*ck that, sat right next to his little girl. My telling off was already shocking enough, but this incident made it seem completely unnecessary & ridiculous. There was a wait for the food, but it was Saturday night so we did not make complaint about this. When the food did arrive the server confused my brothers order (lamb) with my own (chicken), by the time I realised my chicken had already been combined on my brothers plate. I do not like lamb. So I completely lost my appetite by this point. They did box us up a chicken curry to take away though. My father also mentioned the onion bhajis were cold in the middle & an unpleasant texture. This was hands down the worst restaurant experience of my life. Completely spoiled what was meant to be a treat for Father’s Day. Quite obviously will never be coming back.

An average experience. The restaurant was very busy, we did make an advanced booking, as it was the weekend. Very quirky and quant building with low ceilings. Got to the table, which had just bern cleared. Unfortunately no drinks menu on the table. We did ask on two separate occasions for one. Very extravagant prices for drinks, including non alcoholic drinks. The shared starter was probably the only thing to rate highly about the meal. My main was barely touched. My partner also seemed equally unimpressed with my main when he tried it. His seemed to be more palatable. Didn't bother to complain as it had already been a fairly long wait between starters and mains. Also ended up asking for the bill 3 times at the end of the meal which we never received, ended up having to go to the bar and waiting an extra 10 minutes to pay. Overall an average experience. Just will not be in any rush to return.

Having visited this every Indian restaurant and takeaway in Louth, i can honestly say this place is the best. I have had several takeaways and 5 different dishes and each time the standard of food and service has been exceptional. The longest i have had to wait for the food to be prepared was 25 minutes, and on each occasion, they have given complementary poppadom's and pickles. I keep meaning to take the time to have a restaurant meal as i can only imagine how good the food would be served immediately. Really friendly staff and they seem to have many repeat customers dining there. Highly recommended!! Very reaosnable prices

My wife and I went this evening as a 2nd choice as we couldn't find a decent fish restaurant in our local town of Cleethorpes. So we decided to go polar opposite and book a table at Helal. From the moment new walked in we were greeted and made to feel at home by the staff. They couldn't have done more when it comes to service, and they were laughing and joking with us throughout the time we were at our table which just made for such an enjoyable time there. Then comes the food. I ordered the Pangash Special (Fish Curry) which was not just the best Asian dish I'd eaten, but one of the all time best things I've ever eaten. The spices and the heat were perfect, and the portion was very generous. My wife ordered the chicken Rogan Josh and we spent the whole car journey home taking about how good they both were, something we've never done. All I can say is that if you're ever in Louth in Lincolnshire and you want to taste the best Tandoori food then I highly recommend you try here. Simply amazing place!

Beautiful mixed kebab to start, light and crispy breads, perfect mushroom rice and a lamb garlic chilli dish. Actually I was given a lamb tikka dish when I’d asked for lamb. This seems to be a common trend and it’s a waste of good lamb in my eyes. Anyway it was still pretty good!

Went with my mum (both of us are vegan) we ordered two mains (vegan on request) and split them in half so we could try both together. The food was tasty and filled us both. The service was nice and helpful. The server seemed to know the ingredients of all the things we asked about and said if they were vegan or if they could be made vegan. The only down sides were the menus were very old and there were no vegan options listed at all. Other than that a lovely place. Not too expensive and worth the money. Recommended. We hope to go again sometime.

From starters to mains everything was delicious, the service was outstanding as usual and even though it was extremely busy the guys tried their hardest and contributed fantastically to our lovely evening with their humour & banter. In relation to negative comments about taking too long... one has to realise if a restaurant is busy and in this case the Helal has been going strong for 30+ years (so they must be doing something right) a little delay is inevitable. If people want quieter and more faster then weekdays would be a better option. Thanks guys for a brilliant night!

First visit to this restaurant for a birthday meal and travelled for 30 minutes to get there. We don't have the opportunity to go out for meals very often so this was a special event! Having read the reviews I had high hopes and had made sure I booked well ahead.

I took my partner out this evening to the helal tandoori. A personal favourite of ours and in my opinion the best restaurant in Louth....just amazing tasty food,(a real taste sensation) staff that are not only friendly but can't do enough for you. Romantic setting, great price and just what we needed, I highly recommend to everybody, after being here for over thirty years they must be doing something right, thanks and see you soon

I’m never one to leave reviews but this one I got too. I Went to the Helal on the 8/9/2018 recently with my family on Saturday night they were absolutely heaving with customers, people queuing at the door we had to wait 15 mins for a table which was acceptable when you know the place has been there for 33 years as indicated above the door. We enjoyed the most amazing meals ever the flavours were amazing. The food was not too oily, front of house service was absolutely great considering how busy it was they even took the trouble of getting to know

As someone who is new to the area, I chose Helal based on the many glowing reviews on here. Unfortunately, my experience was very different. It started off poorly when we were shown to our (booked) table. Various cutlery was flung onto the table along with a couple of napkins (there were 5 of us). I was willing to overlook this. However, after quickly giving our orders, we had to wait over an hour for our food. This was also flung on the table with zero apology. Finally, when it came to payment, their card machine ‘wasn’t working’ and we had to seek out a cash machine outside. All in all, I won’t be returning again. The food was no where near good enough to justify the wait. Mediocre at best.

Food is excellent and well worth the wait, which I have to admit was a little longer than on previous visits but the place was busy, (always a good sign).

Always great food but please stop serving pickles from the open cabinet near the bar. So unhygenic. They sit there for hours in the warmth breeding bacteria and with everyone walking past they are open to further contamination.

My family and I have been visiting the Helal for as long as I can remember and it never fails to disappoint. The food is always very tasty with generous portions and lots of choice on the menu.

This was our 2nd visit here, we came 2 years ago and the staff and food was really nice, could not fault the food and the staff were really friendly, on our second visit we were talking to the guy and he actually remembered us, they were all very nice and again the food was great, the atmosphere is good and the place has a great vibe, I would totally recommend this restaurant, we traveled from Lincoln and it’s well worth the trip.

We have been using the Helal for over 20 years now and it is always consistently good. Being honest, we get takeaways more than we eat in, but this weekend, we decided to take the family out for a curry and ate in the restaurant. The menu is extensive and there is a huge choice - something for everyone. The staff are amazing and the atmosphere inside the restaurant is always good. It is a really old building with low ceilings and the front of the restaurant is made up of booths, with tables being at the back. I love the booths, which is where we sat this weekend. The food was outstanding as it always is and we left very full and happy. Kingfisher beer on tap is also beautifully served and goes well with everything available. Keep up the good work and we will be back!

Absolutely love this place! Delicious food, generous portions and very well priced. The front of house team are very courteous and professional. Went with a friend who was gluten intolerant and she was amazed by the amount of choice she had. Hence excellent for gluten free and vegetarian people. Looking forward to our next visit already.

Ignore the somewhat downmarket exterior, the low ceilings and the red furniture and concentrate of the people around you and the food offering. We were staying in the area and popped into the Helal on a Monday evening when many restaurants were closed. We immediately noticed groups of people on first name terms with the waiters, lots of friendly banter, and food being ordered without the need to refer to the menu - a great recommendation for any restaurant!

Absolutely shocking starters, when does a portion of shami Kebabs arrive within an omelette? a portion of Seekh kebab is 1 kebab split in half. Chicken tikka masala arrived as a korma. The onion bhaji (easiest thing to make) is actually the finest sliced onions I have ever seen. Really is not worth the £150 for 4 drinks, 4 starters and 4 mains. WHERE WAS THE MASK.
