Super meal extensive menu , service excellent , highly recommended

Went to here for our anniversary...lovely attentive staff...food was amazing definitely be back again

Lovely food, charming staff. Great fish specials. Couldn't fault it plus you get a hot flannel & a choc at the end of your meal. Highly recommend

Without doubt ( to me) the best Indian food for 30 miles at least. Best when the boss is in, he is driven for quality. Friendly, good service but most importantly brilliant food. Having eaten in many many similar this rates as one of the best, a blessing for Leominster.

Really nice food, take away doesn't do it justice. Eating in the restaurant with fresh naan and fresh puri is so much better.

We have been using this restaurant for around 20 years and have never had a bad experience, the food and service have always been excellent, we highly recommend this place.

Food was 12 minutes late and decidedly lacking in flavour . Came with poppadoms but the salad for them was in a tied plastic bag which had caused it to go mushy. Also mango chutney and any poppadom sauce was nonexistent. Would definitely avoid

Love it. Easily the best Indian food for miles.

One of the best takeaways I have ever had.....superb,,,staying in penbridge for a few days and a difficult house to find,but no problem,the guy had a smile on his face when he delivered it,,,even though he struggled to find it,A1..PERFECT

The food was superb, service prompt and efficient, staff extremely helpful and polite, toilets very clean and user friendly. If we didn't live in Kent we'd definitely be back regularly. Judging by the number of diners the locals feel the same. Thanks for a really nice evening 😊

Always a delight to eat here. Lovely food and friendly staff.

Been far too long since we have visited this fantastic restaurant. Food absolutely gorgeous as usual. Made to feel really welcome and just can’t thank you enough for a great night . 10/10 .

Love this restaurant. Food is superb.

We did a big order on Boxing Day and were very impressed. Every bit of food was delicious and they even through in some free bits. The delivery man greeted us with a big smile and was lovely to talk to. Will definitely order from them again.

Takeaway. Food was really good. Order was on time and staff were friendly. Very reasonable priced

Lovely meal shared with friends and colleagues, large selection of dishes. Drink selection very good. Staff all very efficient, friendly and service was excellent.

We frequently visit this restaurant as a family, living in hereford ourselves there are many Indian restaurants to choose from, but growing up eating Indian food, and knowing what quality is after all this time, unfortunately all the restaurants in hereford fail to deliver time after time. However, the 20 minute drive into Leominster to visit the Jalalabad is worth the drive Every, Single, Time. We visited tonight, and the restaurant was absolutely HEAVING. I must admit, working as a chef for the past 9 years, perhaps, they had put a bit too much on themselves in terms of numbers. But they handled it magnificently. And with approximately 50-60 covers in a very short space of time the quality of the food did not alter whatsoever. A very enjoyable night. And it’s so rare to find a place to eat, to have a night off cooking and have a similar quality to that at home. Interestingly there is a review left for the jalalabad a little over a month ago, it reads … Food is okay (LIE) we have been going here for a while. But suddenly price has gone through the roof (NO IT HASN’T) they don't like card payments anymore (YES THEY DO) and the bill receipt is hand written on paper with not understanding of what is written on it (YES, ITS HAND WRITTEN AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE) Very strange Unfortunately we will not be coming back (GOOD)!!!. Keep up the fantastic work, and we certainly will be back.

Cannot recommend highly enough.

Brilliant food and great service, props to Abbas, Abdul and Rahman!

Had a birthday celebration. First time we had been in ages. Enjoyed it.

We did a massive takeaway order for 20 people. Was prepared perfectly, everyone got what they wanted, and were wiping plates clean with extra nan. Great!

Had a take away from there, absolutely awful, never had a raw naan bread before but had my first one here, chicken pakoras were inedible as chicken wasn’t cooked properly, curry was also awful the texture of the chicken was so chewy like it had been there a long time, first and last time going there.

Staff uninterested but food good

Excellent food, well worth a visit

Had the pleasure of getting my second takeaway from this lovely restaurant last week. Have to say it was one of the best Indian/Bangladeshi meals I have ever had in the UK. Service was great, can't wait to come and enjoy a sit down meal here with my family soon!

Great food, excellent friendly staff will definitely be going again

First visit. Excellent food and service. Staff made you feel very welcome. Will definitely visit again

The best prawn Balti I have had in a very long time, good value, warm welcome, prompt services, highly recommended.

Really nice food and a good variety. Would eat there again

Great food, as usual, great service too. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommended

It's a fantastic restaurant, food is amazing staff friendly.*****

Great food. The staff seemed bit jittery and in a hurry.

Absolutely brilliant take away tonight from Jalalabad. We were recommended by friends and the food really was amazing! Fantastic service from the delivery driver who really went above and beyond, thank you! Food was so fresh, delicious and freshly cooked. Just brilliant. We will be returning.

Had a delicious meal delivered to us. Very authentic and loved the paneer naga curry (only if you can handle spice!)

The food is brilliant, staff are good, the atmosphere is great

1st class meal the chilli masala had wonderful flavour the rice was also excellent as was Bombay aloo, my wife butter chicken was the best she had ever had, we'll be back

Never before have I posted such a bad review, I asked if they had the Spicey Monkfish Curry on the menu, and the answer was "Yes" However, when it arrived it had transformed into a Salmon Curry. When I challenged this transformation I was asked "Was I sure" when it was confirmed as Salmon I was then asked "Could I pretend it's Monkfish. This was a completely an unacceptable response. The waiter was rude and offhand. This ruined the evening, and I will now take my custom elsewhere.

Very smart restaurant with friendly staff and excellent Indian cuisine. The portion sizes were spot on with no waste.

Take away delivered . Great tasty food . However nearly an hour late . Please don’t give a time if you can get close to it . I’d give five stars for the food and one for delivery time .

Spacious dine in room- best food in area. Friendly and professional staff. Tasty and hot food.

Excellent service, friendly and attentive. We all enjoyed our meals, trying something different.

The food was delicious and came out really quick. All the servers were nice and attentive, will definitely go again.

Lovely meal, layers of beautiful flavours. I especially loved the intensity of the colours with the flavours, not sure if the colours were accentuated by the lighting, but all together it was an exceptionally good eating experience. The service was exemplary.

First class service and first class food. I highly recommend. Good beer and the mixed grill was tasty 😋

We ordered our food at 6.30pm on the website with no real problems. There was a wait time of upto 85mins for delivery, which I did think was a little excessive but we enjoy the food from this restaurant so decided to order. At 8.15pm I rang to chase the order as we hadn't received it. I was told it was not quite ready, and twice the rude man on the phone said we are busy! The food arrived at 8.40pm and we were hugely disappointed. The food was cold, no sauce with the poppadoms and the wrong naan breads. Over a 2hr wait to be disappointed. We were not impressed, the service was appalling, and we will not be ordering from this restaurant again.

I have to say, past experiences of this Indian have always been 5 star. I ordered 1 X meal this evening. The food was OK, but not up to its normal standards. My naab bread seemed soft and not quite cooked. The curry was good as usual, but not exceptional. I've had it before and it has been extremely good, this time not so much. I'm not trying to moan. Usually this Indian, is outstanding. I would recommend this to anyone, providing they kept their usual high standards up.

Use this restaurant a lot as the food is so good. However, Sunday 19th June, it all went horribly wrong. Ordered a takeaway by phone & was told 45 minutes wait. Left home 30 minutes later as it takes 15 minutes to get there. Was told food was "not quite ready". Paid and sat down to wait. I know it was Father's Day and the restaurant was quite full, but then had to wait 1 HOUR for our order! Kept being told that food would soon be ready, but that they were busy & short staffed. Got offered a free drink after 50 minutes of waiting and profuse apologies when food finally arrived. Really guys, just not good enough, if you are that busy AND short-staffed, maybe it would be better to explain the TRUE waiting time when people ring, or just not take orders for takeaway. Food was as good as usual, but this could lose you loyal customers. Hate complaining, but this really needs sorting.

Great food, great staff and atmosphere. Definitely would go again.

What can I say, ... from the moment I phoned to book a table until we walked out the door we could not have had better service. The 2 waiters taking orders and serving were so friendly and welcoming 🙏. The food was amazing and the apple chutney that is served as part of the pickle and chutney sides was delicious. We eat at Indian restaurants regularly and this one is by far the best. The tandoori salmon was exquisite and the garlic chicken was so tender with fragrant, fresh coriander to compliment and enhance the flavour. We will definitely return when we are back visiting family. 😀 thanks for a wonderful culinary experience ❤

Always good food and great service

Was given a time to pick up order but arrived to find queues and order not ready. Staff not helpful, almost rude. We were told “it will be ready when it’s ready”. People who ordered before us were still waiting when we got ours. Food uninspiring. I notice they only respond to good reviews

People lovely and last year had takeaways a lot which were delicious, the last 3 times I have had a takeaway the korma sauce was watery and the food not up to its usual standard.

Would not recommend. Bad drivers running people over

positively the last time I ever go here. It is the 3rd time the order has gone wrong, the last 2 being totally the wrong order ,on a simple take away. Bye guys.

Very poor service experienced on takeaway on Sat 18 Dec at 7pm. There were 6 persons waiting, all phone orders all informed 45 /60 mins lead time. The reality was an additional 30 mins of waiting in the small area. One person did come and food was given to him within 5 mins! He must have ordered yesterday!! For the staff, it was blunder after blunder, phone ringing - many times unanswered. The waiting customers said its usually like this. Poor show,

Had the pleasure of having a meal on Friday and was absolutely blown away with the place. The service and food was first class. My only regret is that we were only visiting the area and live too far away to make it our regular restaurant. But rest assured when we do come back it will be the first on our list of places to visit

Just had an incredible Dhansak from here, best curry I've had in a long time, highly recommend

Delicious and fresh. Wonderful service.

Lovely curries, always friendly service at a great price too. Cant fault them.

Thank you for a wonderful meal! The food is amazing so fresh and tasty! thank you so much will be back soon!

Have to say this was the best . Loved the food and the staff were all great . Thank you ,we will be back

Incredibly impressed with this place - really quick, friendly service. The food was spot on and reasonably priced and best of all the waiter went out of his way to remix our dishes to accommodate my food colouring allergy - never had that anywhere else to such an extent!! So would highly recommend this place - such a shame we live so far away!

Amazing food and the staff are really welcoming and friendly.

None of the food had spice or salt. It was blunt. Had to wait longer for food collection.

Great night with friends. Excellent food and service.

Excellent food and service would highly recommend can't wait to our next visit in September

Needed a meal that was Gluten friendly, staff were helpful and knowledgeable. The food was nicely spiced and we left full without spending a fortune, also the drinks weren't overpriced. We left sad because it's good restaurant but two hours drive from home - if I get the chance will go back to try other dishes off the menu.

Fantastic experience, the food, the atmosphere the presentation was exceptional. Highly recommended

Can't type properly - too full of yummy foooooood

My wife and I are regular sit in and takeaway customers. Very pleasant staff and the food is first class. Highly recommended.

Ordered food at 510pm for 630pm delivery... Eventually turned up after 2 phone calls at 745pm and food wasn't hot either...shame as normally good service

Lovely food, great service and will definitely go back!

Very poor , I was so disappointed

Best curry house locally currently.

Had a chicken Tikka , the sauce was lumpy and tasted nothing like chicken tikka nan was cold and chewy

Lovely food but wasn't very warm. Need get it out quicker and warm the plates or use little food warmers on table like some other Indian establishments

Nice food, good portion sizes and staff were very polite and attentive.

Went on monday28th September food was amazing staff very friendly we was on holiday in Hereford the food was so good we went again the next night fantastic food and service deffinately 5 star from john & denise castleford west Yorkshire

A faultless Take away for for four. Delicious food. THANKS GUYS.

Great meal and lovely friendly staff.

Jalalabad. Well- more like JalalaBAD SERVICE. placed order on the phone, was told food would be ready to collect in one hour. We Arrived perfectly on time as advised, went in and paid for our order. Was asked what car I was in and asked to go wait in the car and food would be brought out. Okay, fair enough. 35 mins later and still no food. Decided to go to the Chinese next door for a portion of chips whilst waiting as got so fed up. Ate the chips in the car whilst waiting. Chips gone. Still no order. Went to ask about status of our order and got zero helpful feedback. Nice. Ten mins later the food came out, with nothing more than a “sorry for the wait”. Definitely never going again. Had I been originally told the food would be two hours, I’d have had no problem. The fact that I was lied to, amongst other customers having the exact same experience at the same time, given no update or apology whilst they knew several customers were outside waiting, was terrible and frankly unacceptable.

Superb food and service wouldn’t go anywhere else in Leominster staff are so friendly too

Excellent food and service as always Good place for family dining Take away wait during busy times can be slightly long ... but this is not unusual for a popular venue ... and the food is worth the wait

Always superb food and service. Never had any complaint in all the years of going there. One word sums it up LUVVIT

Lovely food and friendly service 👍👍😊

Very good food and very good people

Friendly and good food at reasonable price.

Fantastic food, when I'm back in Leominster this is the first place I'm heading to!

Great food, really enjoyed a relaxing meal.

Been a few times now , has been good in past but was poor when I went with a friend last week , fairly quiet, took over an hour for our main , food was mediocre, service poor , and to top it off we was overcharged at end of evening... will not be returning... I will be going to the indian in Weobley from now on !!
