Jinnah in Ryedale

This place used to be amazing. Unfortunately it is now a run down poor excuse of its former self. We pulled into the car park almost sure that the restaurant had closed down. The place looked in a state of disrepair with paint falling of the walls and window frames. We were just about to leave when a member of staff came out and assured us they were open. Dubiously we went in, remembering how great it used to be. Inside, the decor was not much better, it was very tired, in need of some TLC and investment but as we were the only people in the place I guess that investment won't be coming any time soon as this place cannot possibly be trading very much longer unless it survives on take-away trade. Upon taking our drinks order, we were disappointed to be informed that they had no beer (draught or bottled) so had soft drinks. Unfortunately the disappointment didn't stop there as when our main courses came out, one was inedible and the other extremely salty to the point where it was only just edible. To be fair, the staff did offer to replace both of our meals, but we felt that the damage was done and just wanted to leave. I would strongly recommend you avoid this place, it is certainly not what it used to be. Such a huge shame.

Was staying nearby with some family so we thought we would give Jinnah a try. Restaurant didn't look open when we arrived and we appeared to be the only customers sitting in which was slightly off putting for me at first although a group arrived just before we left and I know there was a few take aways. Food was amazing but very spicy, even the dishes that usually aren't meant to be! Portion sized were very generous. I did expect tablecloth and chairs to be cleaner as it had not long been open for the evening. I would definitly go again but maybe ask for food not to be as spicy!

Inedible.. do not waste your money. The place is absolutely filthy, from the outside it looks shut.. it should be. Honestly didn’t dare eat it. The curries had an inch on oil sat on the top. Absolutely revolting

Excellent food but very tired decor. All the food was delicious and cooked to perfection but the carpets are filthy and the hand dryer in the toilet didn't work.

We have been here on a couple of occasions now and I cannot fault the place. The atmosphere, staff and food was all fantastic. The food is delicious and hoot. From ordering to eating was about 10-15 mins, better than so many places we’ve visited. If we were unsure of what we wanted, food was recommended and we were not disappointed. Cannot wait to visit again

Me and my partner was staying in the griffon lodges and ordered a takeaway at 7.30 after ringing up twice and them telling us he is on the way out of the door food did not turn up till 10pm and was freezing cold and tastless Would never get food from here again

After staying in the near by lodges we decided to order a curry to be delivered we ordered at 7 o’clock with delivery booked for 8.30 after getting a call at 9.15 to say it was on its way and as been cooked fresh and all warm it turned up just after 10.00 we were staying 4 mins from Jinnah so that was the first lie next lie was the it’s warm and fresh it’s cold and rubbish they quite clearly just tried to squeez me in before they went home as the Nissan Mirca that turned up appeared to have 15 people in we took one look at the food and was not happy hips stone cold the oil had a bit of curry in it was foul even the dog sniffed it and walked of he’s a greedy dog an I have to some times stop him from eating poo so you can imagine how bad this curry was its fair to say a wont be going again I don’t know how they have the cheek to take peoples money ps am a very easygoing guy but this really got my bk up be warned

Dirty seats Dirty carpet Dirty windows Poor service Loud music Left without ordering I will NEVER go there again

We were staying in Welburn and as we had our dog with us needed to have a take-away rather than eat in a restaurant. We found Jinnah and saw that they'd deliver to the house so ordered dinner via Just Eat. It was one of the best take-away meals we've ever had. My husband ordered a specialty dish we'd never seen before and I had rogan josh, along with lemon rice and a garlic naan. It was all wonderful - delivered within the promised time slot, hot and generous portions. We both said we'd never had a better take-away curry. If we lived nearer we'd definitely be regular visitors.

I like to eat more in such place during summer time. Decent enough rating Very friendly & welcoming waitress Lovely and peaceful

Went to Jinnah for a nice Indian curry in which turned out to be very expensive for SOFT DRINKS, they made an error on one of the curries despite how quiet they were with only 3 tables being full in the premises and also false advertising. We went to enjoy a meal and noticed they were on Meerkat meals 2 for 1 but even though they're on Meerkat, they are not accepting Meerkats meals. The soft drinks, we got a pint of Coca Cola and a pint of Sprite which came to a toa of £9.90, £4.95 each for a soft drink which is extortion, we could have got a pint of beer/larger for much the same price! Ordered a Chicken Tikka Masala and it was a very mild curry and tasted more of coconut than anything, there was no spice to it and minimal flavour. The presentation was good for the food, the service was friendly and quick. Wouldn't recommend going here and I will not be returning. I would much rather get a takeaway from Naz Spice which is my local Indian takeaway.

Thank you to Master for preparing a meal for me at short notice . Today I had the pleasure of dining with a good friend who had travelled from out of the area to sample the Kashmiri Cuisine that is prepared completely from scratch as the order is delivered to the kitchen We had a mild Rogan gosh and pilau rice and also a side sizzling platter . My guest for this meal is in his own right is a highly successful chef and restauranteur so when he says that is the best curry he’s had for ages then I would also agree . Shukria

Had previously been a regular customer but things had gone down hill some time ago. Saw the sign saying 'under new management ' so thought we would give it another go. Wednesday evening - very quiet. Bar area was very cold. Only had Cobra beer in bottles & when someone wanted a non alcoholic beer, there was only one left. Food & service not particularly good - didn't have the ingredients to make one of the curries. As we left there were tables which had not been cleared. No atmosphere. Sorry but don't think we will be back.

Myself, my husband, brother and sister-in-law went away to a cottage not far from the Jinnah Restaurant and who delivered to the cottage, even though we were hidden away so we were quite pleased about that! The delivery did take a lot longer than expected, probably an hour longer as the driver ket getting lost due to where we were staying but it was within their delivery area so that was a downside straight away. Myself and my sister-in-law ordered the food via Just-Eat and I love Lamb Karahi which I ordered and I thought I had found the perfect meal - the only issue was that I had was that there was an option to choose what I thought was an extra for the dish so chose Vegetable. What happened was that the advertised Lamb Karahi wasn't Lamb at all, it was just Karahi and then I had to choose an extra - all I received was a vegetable Kahari and I was extremely gutted so would not eat it and it was too oily and spicy anyway. I telephoned the restaurant and the lady I spoke to was very rude and eventually put me onto the Manager. He actually looked at the Just-Eat page and realised the mistake, he offered to bring another meal for me but the others had only half finished their meal as the food was so spicy and oily, they could not finish it totally so it all went in the bin. I explained this to the Manager but he said that anything with a 'one chilli' next to a meal on the menu is what the locals like - 'one chilli' means mild to us from Manchester and most other people no doubt! Of course, the Just-Eat menu has now been altered and the Manager of the restaurant blamed Just-Eat constantly - they should have proof-read the menu before it went online! Oh, and the food is overly expensive! Especially when the majority went in the bin - along with all the PLASTIC tubs!

Food was excellent, service pretty good. Interior of building has seen better days and could do with some refurbishment. The windows could do with a clean both inside and out. Would definitely ready here again.

Onion Bhaji , 2 small curries, 1 chicken chatt, Butter lamb, rice. 2 poppodoms ...2 small bottles of lager and a j2o.....£72

Have been eating curries for 40 plus years but this was one of the best curries we have eaten, I had the Masalendar Chicken whilst my partner,the Garlic Chilli chicken, both very hot,as we like them but the flavours were fantastic, would highly recommend 👍

Terrible Terrible Terrible! Ordered via the Just Eat app for delivery and was told 20 -30mins for delivery! Over an hour later, the slop turned up and was cold! Will never ever use this place again!

Great food and good service. The recommended curry The Sri Lankan was excellent.Again the eat out to help out scam with the added tip charge, very shabby because I would of give them a tip anyway.Pure greed, so just be aware check your bill. They took my name, address and email(not the real ones) to qualify for the government discount devious little cupcakes...

Been here once before last year, restaurant and loos are very beautiful. Lady behind the bar is so nice and friendly, as are most of the staff apart from an older gentleman who seems very grumpy and can be quite sarcastic. The food was lovely as always, portions arent huge and noticed it was much more expensive than last time,as are most places, but what annoyed me was that despite getting the government discount, a 10% service charge had been added, which we did not pay last year and when I queried it was told that we had after all received the discount. Felt embarassed so paid it, but not a nice thing to do, it's not them that's giving the discount after all, so no, we wont return, which is a shame.

.... but was nothing to do with the food, which was generally very good. Awful, awful management decisions made to mislead customers during a pandemic. Let me explain.We visited tonight, (a Tuesday) as part of the ‘eat out to help out’ scheme. We are staying locally on holiday. We wanted to eat out, and yes… we wanted to help out. The restaurant itself is quite impressive inside. Location wise is fine - one of those establishments right on a the A64 . Service was slightly ropey from the start. I asked for some advice about dishes. Was told "of course it’s nice -it’s on the menu." OKaaaaaay..... cheers mate. Food came (after two tables who ordered before us... but whatever) and was great - enjoyed by veggies and meat eaters in the family alike. The end of the meal is where the problems began. Asked for the bill politely. Twice. Third time, reminded them that we were still waiting. The bill eventually arrived. Was told to write name and email address on the back of the receipt in order to qualify for government help out to eat out discount. Lie no 1, there is no such requirement. I assume this was simply to obtain personal details to send unwanted marketing emails.Bill itself was £75, but half price took it down to £45. Errrrmmmmm, bit of a maths problem there. Lets generously assume this was a genuine maths error. A £7.50 'discretionary' tip added to the total. Took it to the bar to query both. Was told by the attending waiter that a 10% tip (based on the total pre-discount price of the meal of course) was 'required by the government.' Lie no 2. When I challenged this point (i.e. told that the waiter this was complete bunkum) I was told in response 'well this is what we say to everyone.' Oh well, that’s fine then! Refused to pay any tip in the end ( I would have tipped if not lied to) and left feeling really annoyed, and also as if I was a criminal.I'm afraid this simply comes down to very poor management. Either the manager advised his/her staff to lie to customers to squeeze a few quid out of them during a pandemic (nice move) or they are not monitoring their staff enough and allowing it to happen. The purpose of the help out to eat out scheme is to encourage people to venture out of their houses, boost the hospitality trade and stimulate the economy. This kind of nonsense completely undermines the good intentions of the governmental policy. Whatever the reason bheing this behaviour, this is a sure-fire way to squander any good will brought about by the decent food, decent location and nice interior. Reading a few recent reviews on here, I can see that this is far from an isolated incident and clearly a policy decision by this restaurant.If you really want to help out local businesses during a difficult time, may I suggest you spend you money in more honest establishments. Shame on you sirs, shame on you.

we visited with friends for a meal, the meal was very nice cannot complain about that, how evewhen we came to pay our bill we had a service charge added on costing £11.00 we challenged this and was told it was government guide lines, rubbish. Having been out for other meal in the help out to eat out this has never been added or even mentioned so just to make you aware

Had an excellent meal here with my kids. I had my baby with me too and the staff were extremely friendly with her. I felt very welcomed from the second we walked through the door. The food was fab and came quickly too. The pickle tray I got with my popadoms was by far the best pickle tray I’ve ever seen and I love the big hanging family naan! I wish I lived closer as would definitely be a frequent visitor here! Will be going again soon though.

Ate here as part of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme.. Food was of a good standard and everyone was polite and friendly which hasn't always been the case.. Booked a table for 7?30 earlier in the evening but were kept waiting on arrival for about 15 minutes, not sure why but not the worst. Unfortunately, tt the end they added a 10% service charge and I heard them telling other diners it was due to the fact that the government weren't paying for service only the discount.. but then they added a 10% service charge onto the whole bill before discount so that reasoning was clearly just a lie, else surely you'd just add a 10% charge to everyone's bill per the £10 discount (£1 per customer) . Clearly just a way of making money and cashing in on the fact that more people may be taking the opportunity to eat out at the moment. With the current climate I understand everyone is struggling but this is also an ideal time for families, who may not always be able to afford to eat at a range of places, to come and enjoy something different and I feel like the company are using that to their advantage knowing most people either won't want to or can't be bothered to argue over a few £££'s, as it can be embarrassing. Our charge was £3.95ish, couldn't be bothered to complain at the time knew it was coming as I heard several people query the charge and say they'd never had it before. Will vote with my feet by not returning again, as I hate a charge being added especially when the reasoning was absurd and untrue, not had this anywhere else we've visited during this eat out scheme either so go figure. Good service and good food means people are usually generous enough to tip where deserved, those that demand the money won't get the future return in my opinion.. Used to come fairly often, hope the £4 was worth it. So, overall decent food but just beware of the charge if taking part in the deal. Jinnah is also part of the meerkat 2 for 1 meals offer.. I bet they don't charge a service charge when those customers come for a meal even-though clearly meerkat won't be paying the full 50% or a service charge?? I've never experienced a service charge here before either so don't know if they will continue to add it afterwards if it's a successful money making scheme. Disappointing.

Visited earlier this last week with family. Booked a table in advance. Our temperature was taken on arrival and we were shown to the bar to wait for our table. The head waiter taking our order was not overly helpful when we enquired about ingredients in relation to food allergy.However, food arrived in reasonable time, could have been warmer but ok. The thing that really upset us was the same head waiter, when he came to collect the used crockery, pushed in between myself and my Husband, very close up, pressing against me to take his time collecting up the plates. I felt so disturbed by this that I had to try and turn my head and lean away so as not to face him . I have been shielding for months and thought somewhere like this would have safeguards in place, for example diners could have been asked to pass their plates to the end of the table or place on a trolley for collection.None of the waiters wore gloves or masks, but luckily the younger two waiters did keep the required distance. This is not good.

Order via just eat after a hour and a half past the delivery time 2 phone calls to them and was told it was on its way. I then get a phone call to say it will be at least another 30 minutes. Shabby

Credit where credits due. Probably one of the best Indian meals I’ve ever had, brilliant service and delivery, I have never been one for takeaways but this was just outstanding.

It isn't often, in these modern times, to visit an eatery that hits the mark on all levels like Jinnah at Flaxton, York does. A genuine warm welcome from a beautiful and impeccably dressed waitress takes you through to a clean, spacious, authentically decorated dining area. With a choice of à la carte or buffet,  we chose the buffet.  We were served poppadoms and the best tasting and varied pickle tray I've ever been offered. A sizzling selection platter of starters was next and in particular,  the battered fish was exquisite, though all of the pieces were very tasty and nicely cooked. The choice of main course curries on offer was excellent and every single dish was fully flavoured,  perfectly cooked and just downright delicious! We were offered a choice of different naan breads and selected the keema which,  again,  was of the same excellent standard as the rest of our meal. Throughout our visit,  our waitress Farah (hope that's how she spells it! ) , was an engaging personality,  interested in our experience,  knowledgeable of the products and enthusiastic about her favourites! The best dining experience I've had in a long, long time and,  definitely the best Indian food I've ever tasted. I'd highly recommend you go and see for yourself!

Food was lovely and very reasonably priced but best of all was the service. We were served by a lovely young lady that could not of done more to make our experience a better one. She is a credit to your team.

Not our first visit to the Jinnah and certainly not the last. Great people and food, it never disappoints. I don’t know the difference between a good curry and a great curry... but I do know the difference between a good curry and a bad curry... and this is GOOD. Perhaps very good.

My partner and I visit here at least once a every couple of months for a date night ,been coming here for about 2 years , food is lovley , service is good,there always pleased to see us and extremely friendly, not over busy when we go so you can relax and just enjoy the food, would highly recommend.

We visited this place on 04.03.20 and the first thing we noticed was alcohol everywhere, at the entrance, inside , alcohol bottles near where we were sitting and this place is supposed to be halal . The food was standard , a lot more expensive than the Jinnah restaurant in Bradford and the food is not as tasty . The waiter was miserable.didnt smile at all . Didn’t offer any advice on what to order . He seemed like he didn’t want to be there . Overall experience not good . You Muslims out there , please avoid like the plague as all you will see all around you is alcohol and more alcohol.

We went there But unfortunately it wasn’t the place for usAlcohol show piece everywhere In entrance to going inside to eating area No way we will be going again Sorry as we are Muslims and alcohol area is forbidden .Also the waiter was not friendly at all .

My wife and I came here last year from visiting York, we too had a groupon voucher and all I can say is the service and the food like last year were brilliant, fast on hand service making us feel welcome from start to finish. Food has been and is delicious and the portions are great.

My boyfriend and I visited here after purchasing a Groupon voucher. We were weary after reading previous reviews that we would be treated differently with the groupon, however this was not the case and the service was great. We were offered a pickle tray and presumed it was complimentary so maybe the price could be exaggerated. The food didn’t wow us but it was still nice and amazing value for money with the 2 glasses of wind and buffet for 2 for only £16.

Really nice restaurant, the decor inside is superb. This is the 1st Indian buffet I had been to and we really weren't disappointed! The food was excellent and really wasn't expensive. The service was really good and professional, would definitely go back

On booking informed the restaurant we had taste cards and were informed on main meals only. Phone call day of visiting that they were taking cash only. On arrival were informed only one meal would be deducted for 4 of us even though we had 2 cards. Nothing on their website to state this . We arrived at 7.30 pm with friends . At 9.10 the bill was brought to table, no offer of coffee further drinks etc. They collected the cash and we are still waiting for our change !!!!!! (£8) So no free meal .

Rubbish service not to a standard that I would expect ran out of plates and had to wait for plates to be washed

We'd had a few takeaways from here which were OK but nothing special but thought we'd try the restaurant to see if fresh was better.

Returning from a day out to our hotel we decided to stop and have some dinner ' so glad we did. We opted for the buffet but there was also ala carte menu to choose from. We were served poppadoms with an array of fresh chutneys followed by a gorgeous selection of starters which included shish kebab onion barji' chicken' fish all on a sizzling skillet. Once we were finished we were brought fresh

About 9 or 10 choices on a buffet. Not bad at all. A little out of the way but pleasant decor and the ubiquitous restaurant music was not overpowering. Friendly and happy staff. If we are in that neck of the woods again we will consider a revisit.

Visited tonight with a friend for the 1st time. We both had the buffet which was all absolutely perfect! Popadoms & huge pickle tray, followed by loads of hot tasty starters, a huge fluffy garlic nan & then a really good choice of help yourself curries. Will definitely be back! beautiful & relaxed spotless decor and welcoming and friendly staff

Visited Jinnah this evening using the groupon offer. Great selection of different main Indian dishes to pick from. All tasted lovely and tried nearly all of them. We had a pickle selection to accompany it which was fantastic. Would really recommend a visit if in or near the area.

Early supper en route to Scarborough. Lovely service, pickle tray was a delight [especially the onion and tomato dish]. Lovely mains. Plentiful portions. Good choice for two hungry travellers. Highly recommended.

My partner and I finished off a birthday celebration couple of days with a trip to Jinnah restaurant on the A64 (Malton Road) York.

Visited with groupon voucher on 17th Sept evening for 4 people. Cost was cheap, and with a glass of wine each. Food was great with very good flavouring with a great choice and staff where very friendly, restaurant was very nice and you knew you was in an Indian restaurant. Toilets where amazing and should win an award for these. All in all food great, staff friendly and price was amazing, well worth the 60 mile round journey. Many thanks.

Beside the main a64 between York and Scarborough it is one of the few dining options before you reach york proper. Big car park, richly decorated interior and friendly staff. Visited mid week when fairly quiet.

we were visiting the area and have driven past Jinnah before - we called in this time and were so glad that we did! We are great curry lovers and I can honestly say I think this is one of the best curry houses I have been to in this country.

Tried the buffet, firstly it’s not unlimited buffet as they falsely advertise, the starters are brought to your table in a tray, there’s no refills , just move on to the mains. the mains are really poor quality and taste awful, I wouldn’t recommend anyone to eat here , it really is diabolical

I bought a Groupon voucher for the buffet and a glass of wine, as o had always wanted to try Jinnah. We were greeted by Farrah who was very helpful and told us there were four dish of mild, medium and hot, we said we like mild so she told us to try the Hawaiian chicken and the chicken delight these were lovely I also tried the the seafood special which was spicy but lovely. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant was beautiful

The Staff were friendly and very helpful explaining the dishes etc. Would go back the food was very tasty.

Lovely meal, we couldn't eat all we ordered so ask for it to be put in a take away bag. Staff lovely, friendly. Will go again when in the area

I have driven past Jinnah on the A64 everyday on my work commute for the past year. I was always put off by the random location and empty car park. However, desperate to have a good Indian in the area and after reading the reviews me and my Partner decided to try it as a Sunday treat.

We stopped for a Sunday buffet meal and we weren’t disappointed. Very friendly staff, excellent hot delicious meals, plenty to choose from and excellent starters too. Definitely worth a visit.

We went for the buffet, although it was not a busy day, they still put out a whole buffet. There are few interesting curries, chickpeas were tender and daal were creamy.

Impressed with quality of buffet food, staff very welcoming and attentive, nothing too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

Hadn't been for a long time as was quite spicy hot last time we went but decided to try again. The food wasn't as hot and was very tasty but was still hotter than most places we go. Decor in the restaurant is looking dated now and window sills needed a wipe over. However toilets were all new and clean very nice. Staff were really good and very chatty.

Groupon deal for an "all you can eat buffet" Fantastic vale, fantastic quality food and very good service. We were made most welcome and are very impressed with the restaurant itself. Quality quality quality is the best way to sum it up. The range of dishes was very very good with clear information saying what it was and how hot/mild it was. It is a way out from York but well worth the short drive.

Recently stopped off for buffet meal and can't fault, good food great service and very very nice once inside very high spec with decor etc... Definitely value for money and plenty of choice food fresh and tasty

My friend and I visited this evening with a Groupon voucher for the buffet and were very impressed! There was a great selection of dishes which were all nice and warm and really tasty. The wine was lovely too. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful too. We will definitely be going again

My husband and I had a Groupon voucher for the "all you can eat buffet", this is the 2nd voucher we have used there. We love this restaurant, we have never experienced rude staff or a bad service, the food each time has been really lovely,and we have always been made to feel welcome. The restaurant inside is beautiful and we will definitely keep going back and we have had no

Had a lovely meal, great food, great time apart from great in bar area, little woman behind bar was rude and bossy, downfall of the evening but over than that we had a great time

I came to open my fast at this restaurant and was greeted by the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. Kasim is a credit to the business he made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Can’t thank him enough for everything he did! Can’t recommend this place enough and food was delicious!

I come every weekend without fail and every week they never fail to impress all the staff are very friendly and very helpful the food and service is spot on! I don’t intend to go elsewhere.

We bought a Groupon voucher for here and I was really looking forward to it as had heard great things about Jinnah Selby.

We used a Groupon voucher for the buffet meal. The staff were extremely friendly. The food was great, with 4 vegetarian dishes to choose from and plenty of others for the meat eaters. We all enjoyed out meal.

Been coming to the restaurant every week for the past 4 years. It’s such a chilled out environment and the food & service is outstanding! The staff are extremely friendly and will go out there way to chat to you. It’s an amazing night out for the family or for couples. Highly recommend to anyone!

On leaving Scarborough and joining the long queue on the A64 we decided to call in at Jinnah Flaxton for the buffet which we had tried before and knew it was good. But how good this was we were not expecting. Excellent service (Farah) a different set up from last time with poppadoms and a huge pickle tray served at the table, then a sizzling plate of starters which in itself nearly finished us off then the main course which was the buffet and you helped yourself. Fish, chicken, lamb and vegetable curries, enough for the most discerning customer and a superb peshwari naan made to a secret recipe. Certainly one to call at again and we would recommend you call if the traffic is slow as when we had eaten it was flowing well again.

Having just read previous reviews about using the Groupon vouchers, I felt compelled to add to their comments.

Love this place! Can't beat it for friendly, helpful staff (sometimes funny!) & amazing food, very highly recommended.

Having paid for a groupon for "eat all you can buffet" with glass of wine, we were seated. knowing i had 2 children i knew i would sacrifice 2 glasses, i ordered 4 cokes, 4 popadoms and 1 naan bread.....and was charged £24.......yeah, £24 for 4 crisps and a naan bread as the waiter said he'd swap the wine for the coke.....we were told what to eat, when to eat it. To me a buffet is bits of this and that. seemed to me as we had a groupon voucher we were not a priority. one waiter was lovely, one was the rudest most miserable man I've ever met. The food was average at best, but for what i paid (groupon +£24 for crisps and bread) I'd expect better service. Avoid this place at all costs....I'll stick to The Viceroy in York

We were on a mini break at Griffon Forest and fancied an Indian, we both picked dishes we wouldn’t normally go for and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing! We both thoroughly enjoyed our curries, the food arrived piping hot and was so tasty. We would highly recommend this restaurant for a take away.

Had a lovely meal with husband. Chose the buffet which comprises of popodoms, a sizzling starter, a varied buffet with plenty of choice for all palettes (I'm a wuss when it comes to spicy heat) and a fresh naan of your choice.

omg this must be the worst curry i've ever had!

Overpriced, undercooked food and rude staff. First family meal at this restaurant and left with disgust.

From start to finish the food could not be faulted we came for the buffet and it had a very good selection plenty of choice we had good service and the place clean and tidy

Booked a table for 16 adults in the conservatory area of Jinnah to celebrate a family members 30th birthday.

I was stopping a few miles away at the log cabins at Griffith forest I was pleased to see on the information that Jinnah would deliver , I did ask the person if the dish I'd ordered was any hotter than a Madras to which he assured me not , it was delivered on time but missing a special rice , that turned out to be very painful as it was more like a vindaloo & the rice would have stopped me panting like a Labrador in summer . I've no hesitation in recommending the curry house as I think it was very nice just a bit hot , I enjoyed my wife's curry the next day

Came after a shopping trip with the girls and stopped off at Jinnah as we all love Indian foods and have never tried the flaxton branch. The service was absolutely great and the food was even better couldn’t fault it one bit!! And the staff were lovely. I would definitely recommend it and I will be back very soon

On our way back from York, Sunday afternoon called in for a takeaway.Very nice and chatty girl took our order- pickle tray, lamb masaladar and chicken rogan josh. Pickles and poppodums ok, but the so called curries were inedible, no veg or chillies ,no heat at all, just a wierd taste and very, very salty. Both went into the bin!! The worst meal we have ever eaten. Our advice- keep driving!!!

Went to York to do a bit of shopping, decided to call here for some dinner (regrettably after driving past other places) the service was poor very slow, the pickle mix was a little odd as though you could taste bicarbonate soda in it, had to wait ages for the main and when it did arrive fair enough it was warm but there wasn’t any flavour at all very disappointing and couldn’t wait to leave, the waiter did ask if everything was ok to which I said it was fine, didn’t want to cause a scene and just wanted to get out ASAP. Much nicer places to go will never go here again.

Booked a table online, received an e-mail to confirm booking only when we arrived today we were told "You can't have it we have a wedding booked in" Then told "if you booked online they wouldn't have known we had a wedding booked in" Seriously what's the point having an online booking system???? This was for my hubby's birthday and disappointed is an understatement. Needless to say, I don't think I will return in a hurry if that's the attitude.

I've been to this restaurant in the past and never had a problem with the normal meals. However I went with my partner Thursday evening for the buffet and was very disappointed. The starter was lovely and piping hot. However that had been brought straight from the kitchen. The buffet though was put out while we were there and the food in it was just lukewarm. Through the night we both had bad tummies and made several trips to the toilet. Other than that this place is lovely. Nice decor, ambience and friendly staff.

Stopped off here on the way back from an afternoon in York .Hadn't read any reviews so didn't know what to expect .We had poppadoms and a pickle tray to start, which was very uninspiring and very expensive.The starters were very nice but the main meals were virtually inedible due to the amount of chillies used .I had a vegetable Balti which was so spicy it was uncomfortable to eat and my husband had a chicken jalfrazi .We had a half pint of lager which cost an extortionate £3.95.Good job we werent all drinking.The restaurant was lovely inside but was lacking any ambience or personality from the staff .Won't be rushing back .

It is worth stopping at this wayside Asian food diner. Excellent poppadoms and pickles, great naans and good variety of main courses. Very easy to over-order especially with encouragement from the enthusiastic waiters. Manager can be rather intrusive but it’s a small price for the offering. Over the top decor.

Seen this place whilst driving at speed limits on the A64 , wondered whether it was any good .

We enjoyed a fantastic meal here whilst visiting the area. Very good quality, with some imaginative dishes, far better than your run of the mill curries. Great staff, helpful and friendly.
