Indian Ocean in Manchester

Been coming here for over 20 years. Sadly I won’t be going anymore. 2.30 minutes for delivery after being told it would be 1hr. When the food arrived it was cold.

Called in on 24/9/24 with two friends of mine.Lovely relaxed cosy restaurant great decor and seating hospitality was excellent looked after by MEZ top bloke smart very polite.Food was lovely service was also great good prices also well done👏👏👏

I love this place for a casual curry. Relaxed, great service and all round lovely people.

First time ordering from Indian Ocean after a friends recommendation and can't wait to reorder again soon. Top quality food and service upon collection.

Disgraceful, been coming here for years, don’t know if there’s new owners. 2 meals missing £35 for a kebab chips and a couple of sauces when we rang we was told they didn’t add the other 2 meals on and that was the price. Then to find a black hair in the food. Will not go be going back

As always this food is delicious and has never let me down

All vegetarian foods selected, everything was very nice, with generous portions no problems ordering again from here

Food amazing and service, friendly staff

The chicken tikka masala meal for my wife was fine, but my meal the scampi and chips was not fine in fact it was quite bad, three of the six pieces of scampi were so hard I could not cut into them, which I like to do to make more pieces to eat with the chips, and the chips were quite hard, so all in all I did not enjoy my meal at all and will not be ordering it again.

Came here the other night as staying in the premier inn just down the road. They had been very busy (Father’s Day) but we easily got a table by the time we went in. Lovely food, lots of choice really impressed with everything and the one waiter took time to chat with us, I didn’t get his name which was a shame but he was really lovely and friendly. He only works Saturdays normally but was there as it had been busy… maybe someone can get his name for me, he’s been there years apparently. I would definitely recommend this place.

As regular curry eaters, cooks & have visited india 20+ times we were recco this place & it Started with great quality dishes & meat, til now a complete dissapointment, £28 worth of food arrived - dried stale nan, lamb bhuna so fatty i took all the meat out washed it to see the true extend of fat we were served!! Really Not happy we feed are cats better (took photos to back this)..chicken madras has been abit hit n miss, when its good its tasty but then it can be pure bland tomato, it was again tonight..sorry this is the last order from us, not even worth calling them to complain if they think this quality of food is acceptable to send out in the 1st place..if id actually dined in i would not be paying for this

As always the food is tasty and fresh, this food is the best ,by far

I just found Indian Ocean as I was at crumpsall hospital and needed food the chicken tikka jalfrazi was amazing really tasty will be definitely goin again

we got the set meal for 2 it's excellent value for money and as always the food itself was amazing. the best curries in manchester by far! I will not go anywhere else. the onion bajees are soo crispy and fresh. the curries are full of flavour and a lot of meat. the lamb is really soft and tasty. the nann bread is a good size really fresh and has a nice crisp. the poppadoms are perfect and crunchy the dips are really good I love the red hot sauce and the white sauce highly reccomend this place!

The food was great, and the food even arrived before we knew that it was picked up. We know this because the driver jammed on the buzzer like a toddler who really just wants to hear a loud noise. By the time we were able to traverse the short distance to the intercom, he had already left the properly. I had to go out into the street to find him. When I reached him, I admonished him for his 7 second attention span, as that's how long he waited at the door, only for him to admonish me for foul language that I never used. Over all , the delivery experience was terrible, and frankly, that guy need reviewing for his suitability in his role as a Just Eat representative.

Forgot 2 things from the order too what we paid for 👍

fab. forgot rice but brought it straight away! thank you.

I love this restaurant known them for yrs DinnaSteve

Last night, me and my family went to Indian Ocean for a next meal out. However, the experience was disgraceful. From staff that had no manners, to them completely getting all of orders wrong and waiting for an hour and a half just for our starters. My son has got irodocyclitis from his garlic nan bread and my mother has gone into a state of shock as the food was that bad. Would absolutely not recommend this disgraceful Indian shop.

The food was the usual excellence, however the service was not so good with the meals arriving 15 minutes late.

Food was delicious. The naans were lovely and fluffy and thick 👍

beautiful thought garlic tikka would have has a sauce base but lovely food anyway

Food good but was 20 minutes late and missing the chapati that had been paid for £1.50. How do we get this refunded?

Once again excellent service and meals,

Delicious fresh food as always! thank you

The food was terrible. Has the chef left??? Even the poppadom mint yoghurt was tasteless and warm??!! Oh well we will try somewhere else next time. Not a recommendation from me.

On 25dec they welcomed us late night, very much appreciated. Food was good for the price we paid, cost friendly Staff was very friendly and polite. Parking available.

Rather expensive for the minimal amount before me.

We really feel comfortable in the Indian Ocean. We always feel welcome, well looked after and have always enjoyed the food.

Had our Christmas meal in here yesterday. Can't fault it. Food was fresh, delicious and amazing. Service was brilliant. Thank you so much. Will definitely return.

The food is exceptional from here

We ordered on Christmas eve so expected a wait - delivery was made within the hour like said

yummy great service too let me know they'd ran out of samosas and let me choose an alternative.

1st time ordering, was hot and delicious. Definitely will be back

Everything was hot and delicious apart from the chips! They looked and tasted like they was from yesterday shame

No taste at all to food, very disappointed

My first visit, I got the sirloin steak as I didn't like the look of the bright red tikka masala ,the steak was horrible, no taste, there was 6 of us, no one enjoyed there meal, the staff was lovely and made us feel very welcome, I wont eat there again, I will stick to Arnero in Manchester.

Chips weren’t even cooked and got there on time for collection and waited a further 15 mins

The Tikka Massala Chicken was the usual excellent standard, but the Karahi was not so good and i found two solid objects in the meal, so I will not be ordering it again. I am trying to find a good enjoyable meal but still looking..

Once again everything was excellent

16 of us went for my birthday yesterday excellent service lovely food

Once again everything was excellent.

I have ordered from here before and the food is delicious and fresh. I now believe that out of the nearest Indian opposite to you , yours is by far the best, much more, tasty and fresh tasting. you have never been late and driver is friendly and polite. I will be buying here again.

Once again everything was excellent so again well done to the restaurant

Appalling service, or lack there of. Was there for 2.5 hours where we had starters. Chased on mains and they could only say “it’s coming”. Soft drink and pint flatter than tap water. Actual food was decent. Shame the service let it down majorly. Asked for mains to go as it was going on to 3 hours since we were seated. Tried to overcharge us. We clearly weren’t the only table with these issues though. Would never come back. How does a food establishment manage to screw the one thing they need to do so majorly? No apologies or anything.

Delicious thick madras as always. Thank you!

Once again both meals were excellent so full marks again to the restaurant.

Food was great when it eventually arrived - over a hour late is ridiculous though with me chasing up the restaurant for updates to see where the order is and told it was on it way and then to call up 30 mins later to say i haven't received it to be told its on it way now again 🫣 i understand restaurants get busy and can be a little late but over a hour late is ridiculous i got to the point i requested my money back then all of sudden the food arrived shortly after it ..

It the 1st time eating from here I very happy and my kid are fussy eater that eating form here

This restaurant is always delicious and delivered by nice people. Been going here for years and highly recommend it.

Again both meals were excellent so full marks to the restaurant.

I ordered at 7.10 and at 8.55 it’s still not here. Rang the takeaway at 8.30 and they said they were waiting in a driver. Could have flown to India and back in the amount of time it’s taken.

The meals were, as usual, very good, but the delivery was 15 minutes late which is not good enough. We expect, as I said when I ordered, delivery nearer the requested time of 1800hrs, not 1815hrs, so we expect delivery earlier next week.

Had take out yesterday and all I can say is disappointed..... Lamb chop starter for £6 and only 2 tiny chops....the jalfrezi was definitely not a jalfrezi and aldi do better....Pilau rice was dry and clumped together....

Beautiful curry as always. Thank you.

Everything including the punctual delivery was brilliant again so well done again Indian Ocean.

Here I am Sat in the Indian Ocean - surrounded by some of the finest dining opportunities - served with a smile and a quality of service second to none - Every time I visit Manchester this is a port of call. Superb Dining experience - and sublime food!!

Everything was good, service, delivery and the meals.

Only think was I forgot to add my rice 🍚 to order lol 😂

Love it here. Fabulous food, fabulous staff and amazing food. Service is always fantastic, really look after their customers.

Both meals were very good, although my Bhuna was hot again, as I said last week this meal is described as "Medium" which I take meaning "Mild" but because I failed to remind the restaurant they made it "Hot" again. I also failed to say we do not want the salad, so they sent it and so we just dispose of it. All in all a very good package.

Well for the price, absolutely 5 stars. I was searching for a bengali restaurant as Pakistani ones are more spicy and less variety. Stumbled upon this , price was on the cheaper end compared to other places but food was spot on. Maybe put a bit more meat in some dishes and atmosphere is ok > but that's minor . I'm interested in tasty food at a good price and this is it

Absolutely gorgeous food and fantastic staff. They open the doors for, pull your chairs out and in as you sit down. They chat to you and love to hear about your day

Absolutely love this place food is amazing staff are fantastic they make you feel So welcome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Typical desi food . Balti cuisine .

Lovely food, great service and made to feel welcome and instantly comfortable. Food was hot and fresh and very taste catered for

Went with family and friends great food and friendly service

This is my 6/7th time at this restaurent and I have to say each time has been a better experience. Staff once again gave the best recommendations and I have to say they are spot on - really friendly staff and outstanding food. If you haven’t tried it then your missing the best Indian restaurent in Manchester

Food was good but the service was horrendous. 1.5 hour wait for a very simple order and not one apology

Very nice chilled air con friendly staff best curry in a long time balti exotica recommended

We ordered a delivery and it never turned up. This is so poor please don’t take orders if you can’t fulfil them. We have had delivery from this restaurant so many times it’s just so disappointing. Won’t use again

Nice curry. Staff are friendly.

Travelled 30 miles for a Birthday treat. What a fantastic experience. We received the best customer service, staff were ever so welcoming and took good care of us. They really did make us feel special. Food was cooked with a lot of care and attention which really exceeded our expectation. I’ve not had such high quality curries like that in years, bursting in flavours and aroma, cooked with fresh premium ingredients. We had their house special with lamb and a roshoni chicken tikka with naga.

Best curry restaurant I've tried so far! Food is always fresh, hot and delicious 😋

This was my first time at this restaurant. My husband comes regularly and always sings their praises. I can now see why. The food is fresh and delicious. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and it’s a great place to eat

Best curry place around, been ordering for years and never disappoints 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Ordered the chefs special tikka masala something that you think is gonna be spicy just by hearing the name but it is nowhere near spicy it was so so damnn sweet so very very veryyyy sweet it felt like I was eating a coconut cream mixed with 10 packets of sugar

We booked for 5pm yesterday had the set valantines menu great food and service ickey our waiter very nice and polite as usual would recommend

One of the best Indians I've been to. So good, we went back again the next evening!

Made to wait for a simple set meal for 2 with no frills for nearly 2 hours ,. Phoned them back to see where my food was to be told they was waiting for a driver. Currys nice but not nice enough to wait this long. the waiting time is an absolute joke. Won't be going back here. 2/10

Visited this restaurant with friends & left full & very impressed what a great place food excellent.Staff are really friendly & welcoming good to be greeted so nice from start to finish great guys well worth a visit support your local businesses at these hard times!!!Thanks guys will be back👍

Good food, prawn puree wasn't with patia like it should be, nann was lovely Nepalese curry too and fresh nann was delicious.

The Foods was delicious. The service wad slow.

Reasonably priced curries good portions, clean comfortable and friendly staff

Worst curry of my life. Had to beg for a glass of water. It made my Monday Blue. The Tenpation to throw myself of bridge was high. I left with a lot of Regret. Bizarre Love Triangle

Visited this great restaurant on Saturday evening given a friendly welcome on arrival.Chose my meal didn’t have to wait to long even though busy when it arrived there was plenty of it and really warm.Very tasty food and great service really nice lads great atmosphere would highly recommend this restaurant value for money a big thanks to all the staff not forgetting the chefs etc 👍

My favourite curry restaurant, I always like to go there when friends are visiting - I think the pandemic hit everyone hard so I like to support them by giving them my custom. The staff are always very friendly and the food is lovely.

Great food. An amazing find in Heaton Park area of Manchester. They serve very high quality food. We went in a group of 16 on a Bank holiday weekend and they helped their best to arrange us. The staff were welcoming and professional. We tried Sheek Kebabs and King Prawn Poori for first course. In the Mains, we had Butter Naan, Daal Tadka 👌, Keema and Garlic Chicken Bhuna. The starters were delicious while definitely the daal stole the show. Good to have such Indian food.

Visited the restaurant on the evening of Thursday august 18th for my friend’s surprise 32nd birthday.Nothing was to much for MEZ & AOWAL on our visit to there restaurant on this special night thanks lads brilliant.On arrival kitted our area out in ballon’s etc once the birthday boy arrived the party for six of us could start the entire night was fabulous the food from start to finish was superb great chefs top quality service from the boys was looked after so well really nice friendly restaurant to go with quality food & drink throughout.To top the night off the owner’s brought out a cake with candles singing happy birthday to our star guest.Can highly recommend this restaurant it’s short of nothing but a great night brilliant food great people 👍

Food was OK. Would eat again. Waiter we had this time was over familiar to the point of impertinent , asked inappropriate personal questions, chipped into conversations we were having at the table. Very odd behaviour, couldn't read his guests at all and seemed to have boundary issues.

Had a great meal and drinks with friends looked after by really nice helpful staff.Really nice restaurant with great menu and good food thanks to everyone not forgetting the chefs👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

very disappointed again third time iv ordered for delivery, first time no salad or sauce with starters, second time chips missing, thought id give it one more chance because friends say how good it is, ordered and again disappointed came cold driver couldnt find my addressand chapattis missing so wont be ordering again 3 strikes and your out really disappointed

Visited the Indian Ocean on Middleton Road on 2/6/22 with three good friends to have our jubilee celebration.On entry made to feel very welcome by the friendly staff once seated and given menus we ordered our meals & drinks.Drinks came almost immediately followed by our starters-mains etc leaving it up to us when we where ready for each course food was very tasty plenty of it.Made to feel very welcome through out the visit will definitely be coming again thanks guys for a great meal and great hospitality!!!👍

Outstanding food and amazing hosts. Never fails to impress

Food and service was excellent, shame we couldn't finish the food,

From start to finish I was well looked after the staff couldn’t have been more polite and helpful.Good atmosphere very friendly staff don’t wait long for your food & wow when it comes it’s lovely nice chilled Budweiser what a great experience!!!Would highly recommend a visit to the Indian Ocean Middleton road👍

Went for a family meal on the last minute and found this little gem!! What a pleasant surprise, everything was faultless. Truly is one of, if not THE best Indian meals we have had for a long long time. It was delicious! The flavours were amazing! We all love our Indian food in our family and we can be hard to please but you MUST give this a try, you won’t be disappointed! We will definitely be regulars here, even with our tummy’s full we are already planning our next visit😋 I will be recommending Indian Ocean to anyone who wants a delicious, authentic, unbelievably tasty meal in a welcoming, realaxing atmosphere.

Great tasty food, very clean, nice atmosphere, Staff friendly and reasonable prices

Best curries ive had for a long time

Frist time I've tried this restaurant for a takeaway lamb tikka was just cooked prefect just the way asked for the meal overall was of a top quality really enjoyable I tried this restaurant after my wife and friends when for a meal that they spoke highly about I would recommend a takeaway and in the near future I'm going to try a meal in the restaurant
