First time for us, deffo be going back soon, no complaints here, food great, service outstanding, spotlessly clean, see you soon guys. Amazing!

We went for the first time today and wow how gorgeous. Food was amazing, the prices were brilliant and best of all was the staff. Noah made us feel so welcome and comfortable. He was friendly and funny and definitely adds to the experience. We will definitely be returning, I think this is our new local. Thanks Noah x

I came here for a takeaway as reviews were good but I was sadly very disappointed. Ordered a chicken balti with rice and it was inedible. The curry was full of oil literally 1/4 of the carton. Took 10 kitchen towel to sort out. Then to taste it was so full of salt I couldn’t eat more than 3 mouthfuls. It went in the bin. I’ve had hundreds of Balti’s before and that was the worst. Sorry honest review

Booked here for my daughters 18th birthday meal, haven't been before even though have drivin past numerous times. The staff are friendly and attentive the food was loverly one of the best I've eaten would definitely recommend! Looking forward to our next visit I advise to book first as can be busy at peak times

First visit to Holdi Rainford and we were blown away how amazing the food was, it was so tasty and we will be visiting again. The staff were also lovely, really helpful, great service and meal recommendations.

First time visit, nice friendly staff made us feel welcome. We ordered and received food quite fast, all hot and fresh. We had chicken tikka, rogan josh and jalfrezi. Will return nice for families.

Me and Lauren were stopping nearby for a trip and thought we would give this place a go. So happy we did, great food, great service and reasonable prices. Up the albion!

The atmosphere is amazing the staff was friendly especially the owners food was spot on had great time with my family definitely will recommend an be back again soon 😀

Went here for my birthday. Excellent food, great service. Excellent gluten free options.

We booked a table and we were not disappointed. Great food and not overpriced. An easy recommendation.

Words cannot express the amazing evening we had at Holdi. From start to finish the evening was sensational. The staff were so attentive, especially Shahed who ensured all our needs were met. The food is outstanding, the best authentic meal we have ever experienced. Their professionalism and timing especially catering for our large family was extraordinary. The atmosphere was so relaxing and allowed us time to catch up as a family. Cannot wait to visit again. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g186337-d3396621-r955639516-Holdi-Liverpool_Merseyside_England.html#

We ate here last night with friends and must say we had an excellent evening. The staff are very helpful and friendly, the food is always second to none. Well done to Kalum at the team, see you soon.

Holdi is an amazing Indian restaurant on the outskirts of Rainford. We had a wonderful meal. Fantastic portion size, very tasty, they cook it to whatever spice you want. Fabulous staff, very friendly and very attentive. An absolute 10/10. Thank you Kal and team for another fabulous evening.

Booked at 16:50 for a 17:30 table for two. Greeted when inside and shown to a spotlessly clean table by the window. Service was amazing, friendly and professional Food was out of this world - the best curry we’ve ever had - will certainly be returning time and time again Well done lads you have an amazing restaurant 10 /10

Love coming here! Food always amazing and customer service is class. Keep up the great work 👌😍

Good food and lovely friendly staff 😋

Thisnisnhands down the bet Indian I've been too, we go over and over again and it never fails. You only usually leave reviews when something negative happens but the food and service is that good here I felt the need to come and leave a review. I would recommend this place highly. I eat alot of Indian food and nowhere compares to holdis food.

Excellent food, service.. friendly and hospitable.... thoroughly enjoyed the reccomendation of my dish...

We were recommended this Indian by a colleague, three of us tried it, and we all enjoyed it.The decor, fixtures, and furniture are very nice. There were loads of friendly staff we were quickly shown to our table, we did book in advance. The food came very quickly and was delicious. we had a main meal and a drink each. it was just under £70, I highly recommend trying the holdi.

Staff were helpful with allergies, and I could have any of the main courses gluten free and the popadums. However bajhis were not gluten free. Food was good - I had lamb, from the way the menu is presented it appears the meat and sauces are cooked seperately so the meat was dry and chewy.

Celebrated my sons birthday tonight - Antony , the food and service was fantastic and our waiter Noah made our night was so professional and funny would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to going back !

It was a busy night at the Holdi. The food was delicious & service great.

Second time going here, this place is a little treasure. Food is delicious, I am very fussy when it comes to curry and I have struggled to find a place that does good food. This is my new favourite place and it’s only a short ride in a taxi so I am super happy. Staff are lovely and don’t linger over you. Best food around by miles.

This is an amazing Indian Restaurant! Regularly go because it’s consistently amazing! Best in the area for the quality of the curry. Often with Indian Restaurants I find the meat can be a little rubbery however, Holdi’s meat is always tender and well cooked! Flavours are amazing and they accommodate for allergies really well Staff are very friendly, service is great and free parking! Highly recommend

Absolutely Amazing food, and really good prices, really fast to be served, booked a table ahead of time

Amazing food, amazing service by Kalum and all the staff. Can’t recommend a visit to this restaurant enough. Will be back very soon.

We have been before and will definitely go again. Kalam and his team are outstanding. The food is top drawer matched with the same levels of service. It is everything you want from a night out. Lots of staff on hand who are all very friendly and relaxed. The singing of happy birthday by all the staff was the icing on the cake 👌

Visited Holdi for my son’s 17th. We had a brilliant night, the food is fresh and full of flavour and the staff can’t do enough enough for you! Thanks Kalam and Holdi staff for a brilliant night x

Always amazing food and the visit was just as incredible. Such knowledgeable staff. Always so helpful. Wonderful evening and fabulous food.

Brilliant night for a family 40th. The staff couldn't do enough for us and the food was excellent. It was absolutely packed and such a lovely atmosphere. Would recommend the restaurant to anyone

First time takeaway - amazing. I'll definitely be back

On Friday 22nd Dec had a takeaway for three - great meal

Excellent food and very accommodating of vegan requests. Highly recommended and will definitely be back.

Great little place have been here many times before the food is great service is second o none and the price is very competitive 😀

Beautiful food. Friendly staff. Great price point. I will never go to another restaurant for Indian food. The butter chicken and chicken pasanda paneer are divine.

This was my boyfriend and I’s first time here. The food was exceptional! Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants we have attended. The staff were unbelievably friendly and polite. We also had a lovely chat to one of the members of staff about Liverpool and Manchester United which was lovely! 🤣 We will definitely be coming again soon! Thank you for such a wonderful evening! 😊

Excellent food, good atmosphere, popular with groups / birthday celebrations as well as couples

Food always fresh & served with a smile. Lovely atmosphere and the menu is great 👍

Authentic flavours combined with a wonderful Bangladeshi dinning experience Couldn’t fault anything whatsoever from our Welcome into the restaurant we both sat in one of the booths, … the service second to none, nothing was too much & very attentive ….. the absolute fantastic taste of each of the dishes we choose …. Mixed popadoms Spicey, Toasted & normal with all the chutney tray Mango Onion Sweet Chilli & Mint etc. Our starter was a Mix of Special Tikka Mix & Garlic King Prawns. Main Course - AMERI LAMB SHANK Cooked with chef’s special Balti sauce, the addition of garden mint, spicy yoghurt, cumin and nigella seeds make this dish truly unique taste sensation. So tender & very tasty shared with a Vegetable Rice. - Chicken Rogan Josh. Delicately spiced, cooked with sweet pimentos, capsicum & tomatoes. An authentic Indian dish with a great aroma. Very moorish accompanied by a delicious garlic Naan. Bangla went down well alongside my friends G&T with tonic water & cucumber …. Think I could get used to that 🍸

Absolutely blown away by the service and food. Best Indian food I have had and the service was perfect. Would highly recommend to anyone, thanks for a great evening.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would this place is amazing the food was outstanding all of the staff were brilliant. Honestly people I don’t normally leave reviews but I just had to with this place you will not be disappointed. We will be going back but maybe not ordering as much as we did the phase eyes bigger than our bellies springs to mind. Get booking you will love it 😊

What an amazing evening we’ve all just had at Holdi, thanks to one and all. From the friendly welcoming staff, to the simply amazing food, this place is an absolute must visit for all Indian lovers.

Incredible food.staff are very friendly, and knowledgeable. Can't believe anybody would give anything less than 5 stars. Well done everybody, well see you again soon. Simply delicious.

Tried twice, never again. The dishes are VERY greasy and lacking in spice and depth of flavour expected from Indian food, the Aubergine Bhaji was absolutely inedible, pieces of waterlogged chewy sponge that would not even yield to a sharp knife, I cook them regularly and I can tell the person who cooked that dish had not a clue, it needed another 20+ minutes of cooking. Every dish was swimming in grease, we measured 4 tablespoons floating on top of each small vegetable carton. The typical bad curry that leaks grease everywhere, literally dripping out the bag all over the kitchen. Wretch worthy. Our 1st visit the Biryani was OK, although the curry sauce was watery and tasteless, the other dish was so mild it didn't have much flavour after the description stating it was bursting with coriander etc, onion bhaji were over fried. Though give it one more try with different dishes, 2nd time the biri was very greasy and bland and nothing like the 1st,the bhuna sauce was sad. All the dishes were bland. Indian food isn't always necessarily hot from chilli but you should be able to taste the spice profiles like cardamom, cloves, pepper etc. Scrimping on ingredients or using cheap spices. The Goan prawns had a hint of spice but no heat...not in line with my vast experience of Goan curries in the past. The 2nd takeaway went in the bin as the flavour did not outweigh that much grease. The little I did eat made me nauseous. Money down the drain. Cant figure the high ratings, although I was suspicious that a lot of young families with children were dinning on the curries in the restaurant. It's a heavily anglicised (sweet and mild) version of curry served at Holdi, not typical of the region its from. We've eaten hundreds of curries all over the UK and the world, this sadly was was up with one of the worst. We are however, grateful not to have been poisoned, this is the only pro with our experiences with Holdi.

Well, this is a find! Top quality Indian Restaurant. Food - brilliant Menu - extensive Staff - wonderful [Emti was superb] Toilets - clean Prices - very reasonable Bill - accurate and clear

Have always liked the Holdi in Woolton to Liverpool, but this is a step up! This little gem in Rainford has it all. A VERY extensive menu and very attentitive staff who will help you choose, if required. Food is TOP quality. Prices are very reasonable and the bill is accurate (not always the case) and very well laid out and easy to read. The atmosphere is relaxed. The toilets are very clean. Car parking - lots of spaces. The staff are BRILLIANT, in particular, 'Emti' who was a BRILLIANT ambassador for the Restaurant and the manager. Will be back and looking forward to the Nevillle Southall night in October! Thank you for an EXCELLENT night.

Great food,out of 10 Indian restaurants 9 are the same this one's the one

Tried twice, never again. The dishes are VERY greasy and lacking in spice and depth of flavour expected from Indian or Bangladeshi food, the Aubergine Bhaji was absolutely inedible, pieces of waterlogged chewy sponge that would not even yield to a sharp knife, I cook...

Food was lovely bill came to £55 and left a £5 tip paid by contactless and they put through £85 please take the machine and check what has been keyed

I took a friend there last night who was visiting from Slovakia. I had been here before and enjoyed the atmosphere and banter with the guys who work here. The food is amazing and the service second to none. Last night was no exception, we both enjoyed our meals which were cooked to perfection.this will now be our go to curry house.

very friendly staff and food was excellent

Excellent food and super friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Great food very friendly staff great Saturday night for a tasty Indian

I have visited Holdi on several occasions including Takeaway, food never disappoints, service is brilliant, always on time, appears clean and tidy, disappointed to see a food rating of only 3, May 2023, (Food Standards Agency) this never reflects on the food.

Great popodoms, samosas were a little over so fried than I'm used to. Main courses were delicious. Fantastic Indian.

We’ve been here a few times now and the foods really nice.. the service is a bit slow and you always have to ask someone for more drinks bur it’s worth a visit.

Lovely friendly restaurant. We will definitely go back there..... Often😁

The take away is very expensive. £61 for 4 meals

There's no better Indian food around St Helens than Holdi. Great food served by lads who know their food and explain if you don't know the food properly.

Great place loverly staff great food Above and beyond . nothing any trouble

2nd time we have been food amazing and staff are very friendly, 5* will definitely be going again, can’t wait 😋

Absolutely perfect every time! I recommend this place to everyone as I know it’s constantly brilliant. The food is always tasty and well cooked and the service is always spot on, the staff here are superb. If you are unsure of anything just ask as...

Beautiful authentic highly spiced food. My absolute fave. Still as good years later, reliably good. Book a table online, gets busy like all good places. The pathia sauce, and the tandoori chicken / lamb chops are a must. 5* excellent, edit may 23... still excellent

Best Indian restaurant by far. F everything from the food to the lovely staff is perfect.

Absolutely wonderful food and such nice staff. Made my birthday meal special.

A large group went from work, food was amazing great quality and quantity, served hot and all together, cocktails are to dye for, would definitely recommend to any one, loved it we will be back

Fabulous We went from work. 12 of us dined and the experience was great. Food was amazing and all food arrived together and hot. . service was great and staff were very helpful and pleasant. will definitely be going again

Lovely food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. We had a lovely meal and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

Went for the first time on Wednesday, absolutely beautiful food and wonderful service. The staff are extremley friendly, don't mither, they leave you alone to eat your food. Great atmosphere and will certainly return again. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Service was exceptional and food was amazing, Will definitely return.

Celebrated my sister's 30th tonight, everything was amazing, food was absolutely beautiful! The staff were so friendly and helpful and they even gave her a small bottle of fizz to take home! We will be back soon!

Amazingly nice food been here many times never disappointed , brilliant 👍

Tried here for the first time when passing on our way back from shop tonight having saw the good reviews and it was fantastic. Hubby said it was the best Indian he ever had. We both tried a chef special which was something new and they were delicious! Staff are amazing and made lots of effort to connect with us and very attentive. The ambiance is nice with the water feature and felt very relaxed and authentic. Would certainly recommend and we will be back again 🙂 Good work guys!

Very good food, and service. Can’t grumble about that, but why let themselves down by poor toilet facilities. Penny pinching.

I have been to Holdi 4/5 times and have never found anything to fault. The place has a relaxed atmosphere, is well decorated and looked after, the front of house staff are really friendly and give a great service, and the food is excellent.

We went here for the first time and i can tell you it won't be the last time, it's been awhile since we've been for an Indian meal and we couldn't have picked a better restaurant, the meal was fantastic, very generous portions and steaming...

This was my first visit here having passed it many times and being unsure, as it’s doesn’t have great kerbside appeal - we’ll it’s better inside, but still lacks something. The food was good, but I didn’t think fantastic as described by other reviews, however...

I would normally give an honest review of the food and staff, however in this case I'm struggling. So I'll leave with I won't be ordering food from there again!
