La Pondicherry in Rotherham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely gorgeous food tonight after trying the gourmet menu, lots of choice and food was excellent

Good food, excellent portions. Promt service. I had the steak which was ok. Not brilliant but it wasn't really a steak place. I wanted something different while family wanted curries. They noted the curries were fine and the biriani was very tasty.

Fantastic restaurant! We visited for our wedding anniversary and enjoyed it that mich we might just make it our tradition. Staff were helpful, polite and well mannered whilst the food was fresh and delicious. So delicious we had our leftovers wrapped and took them home!

Not worth the ridiculous prices. Paid 18.40 for these two items (via Deliveroo).

Very average food, naan bread over cooked plus service wasn’t great didn’t listen to half of the things I tried ordering. Then didn’t bring out the item I did order needs improving.

Confusion over the booking but once that was rectified, all was good. A nice clean restaurant and the food was very nice.

I love it, we have Never had a bad meal here. Wish I could afford to go more often.

Nice fresh food,had good flavouring and spice level was ok,staff was very friendly.

A group of 5 of us went for a friends birthday, it was one of the best meals we've had in many a long year, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was amazing and we will definitely be back many more times

People are lovely, food is beyond perfect! Such a lovely place and we have found a new place to eat for sure!! Highly recommend!!+

We called in and ordered food to take out. Food was fantastic so fresh and tasty and Sammy who took our order was great at advising what I might like to try from the menu as not had much experience with trying something new. Really nice decor, Sammy was very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable, think this will definitely be a regular treat for me. Price very reasonable for quality also.

THIS PLACE HAS GAVE ME TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE FOOD POISONING! My visit was 04/05/24. I've had probaby 10 showers since lastnight and haven't left the bathroom properly for 24 hours. We knew it tasted strange and the meat texture was off, but trusted the place and carried on eating. What a bad Decision!

Never really bother with reviews but honestly the food was so bad I can’t not! I ordered paneer massala and my husband ordered paneer pasanda both curries looked identical and were insanely sweet with absolutely zero depth of flavour only difference in taste was my husbands was sweeter so presumably they made one curry and added mango chutney to make the second one. Both curries were watery and left puddles in the bottom of the dish. The rice was like baby food with some spices thrown in, was definitely not basmati! Only saving grace was the fries and the garlic paratha which is all we ate the rest was horrible and dispute trying to eat it it went in the bin.

Great food! A few more paneer based veggie curries would be a bonus, but the current option on the menu is a beaut.

Good choice of food. Excellent service.

Booked a table one Saturday. I did enjoy everything except the chicken tasted like it was reheated and was really tough, and it really put me about to be honest. The staff were lovely can’t fault the service

Another fabulous meal last night with superb and friendly service, fabulous food and a vibrant Saturday night atmosphere. Best place for Indian cuisine within miles.

What a Menu! The food was delicious, I need to go back to try more dishes.

We had the Sunday banquet meal. Lovely food, well presented and good price.

I ordered for a specific time and was informed it was ready 25 minutes early. They then said that was an error and it would be cooked fresh for the time I requested. However, when I collected it, the food was barely lukewarm and had to be reheated in the microwave.

Lovely staff. Good service, great specials.

Lovely food, great service really good value for money.

Very helpful & friendly staff . The owner helped us to select our meal, so much choice .

The chicken tikka starter let it down. Otherwise very nice.

Great menu and choice. Service and a always spot on and made to feel welcome. One of the best Indian restaurants around

Always never fails this place. The food is always piping hot and with the most amazing flavours. The staff are very welcoming and very polite. This is my go to curry

Excellent food service and very friendly staff. Good value for money

Delicious food, friendly staff, good value for money. Recommended.

Came here for a couple's meal. Food not great. Poppadoms were really nice, starters wasn't nice at all and same for the main. Over priced. Very friendly and attentive staff, shame about the food.

Nice food. Friendly staff. Recommended.

Lovely friendly staff, nothing too much trouble for them always on hand for extra drinks and the food was amazing

Had takeaway meal. Popadoms with pickles and onion sals. Salad was soggy and not fresh. Main course dishes were very watery, again, and lamb in one dish was rock hard. Pity because the meals are well spiced and flavoured. Definitely not worth the money, and will not be having food from here again

Highly recommended. Good food, great service. Good prices too.

We went on a Wednesday evening and you can choose from the set menu which is good value. It's two courses plus a nan and rice. Service is great well looked after, and they are very attentive. The only thing that frustrates me is the cost of the beer (cobra) this £5.95 a pint. I don't believe anyone should be charging that price.

Came here for a date night with my partner and it was amazing! Food was delicious, staff very attentive and was reasonably priced will definitely be coming again

Being on business in Rotherham I tried here. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT FOOD. THE PORTIONS ARE GENEROUS. The starter was brilliant, chicken Chat, and the main for garlic chilli chicken, keema rice and chapatti was amazing

Disappointing takeaway overall. The curry was bland and oily. The lamb starter was dry and overcooked. Only the bhajis were nice.

Gave this place another go at the weekend for a takeaway. Been three times in last couple years and it was once again completely tasteless and covered in oil. The only thing edible was the naan bread. Avoid and go to pubjab instead

The real India in England Recommend it for all Indian food lovers

Delicious food and very nice people, giving lots of help to make the right menu choices. An excellent meal and good value. Give it a try if you haven’t already.

Used this restaurant for some time paid a fortune for a delivery same price as the restaurant prices and a delivery charge. No discount on restaurant prices to have delivery so paid £70 for a takeaway and food was poor. The tandoori chicken masala was just mush and not Even whole chicken pieces, the Yoghurt and mint was like water and the Naan bread was soggy. This is the last time I will use this restaurant as this was that poor for the price it was a rip off and disgusting food we threw most of it away!

We'd heard some great reviews from friends who have been but also saw some not so favourable Trip Advisor reviews so had to give it a go. What surprised us was how quiet it was for a 7:30 booking on a Saturday evening. The service was friendly and not rushed, drinks brought promptly while we scoured the menu. It wasn't easy to chose as there were many dishes that we hadn't heard of. I ordered a mixed kebab style of starter that was really flavoursome and well presented, far better than the usual spicy fodder at other restaurants. The choice of main needed some assistance, I asked what was a dish with 'ginger' as I'm not a 'map of bonanza' curry type of person. The dish was again very tasty and exactly the type I love. The other diners were just as complimentary about their choices. It was up there with the best Indian food we have tasted. The only surprise was that no desserts were available to finish the evening off? I would definitely recommend giving it a try based on the service and quality of food we had on the night, we will be going back and we travelled from Chesterfield.

Best Asian restaurant in and around Rotherham. Great service and food.

Absolutely superb. Can't fault anything 😉

Absolutely beautiful food, I ordered the chicken tikka masala and it was just the best. The texture and the taste was just bang on. The service was welcoming and was ready on time for my collection, I will most definitely will be returning to try other curry’s ❤️

Absolutely first rate, 4th visit with family, would highly recommend

Great place good for a meal out with family and friends food excellent and reasonable prices good atmosphere Great night had

Delicious food, excellent service

I visited La Pondicherry tonight and must say was very disappointed! I understand they were extremely busy however I feel there should’ve been much better communication between staff members. First of all, we were sat at the table right outside the kitchen (table 17), I was facing the kitchen and saw one of the waiters put both of our curries in the microwave , which put me off from the start! Both of our curries were very tasteless and watery. I found a piece of metal in my curry and we ordered a cheese and garlic naan which had no cheese on. I hate to complain, however after spending £70 for 2 of us it’s not good enough. Unfortunately will not be returning :(

Great food, fantastic staff, always chatty and happy to help. Perfect value for money, especially Sunday and Wednesday nights. Top class 👌

After making a reservation at La Pondicherry online one week prior we arrived at 7.55pm for a reservation at 8.00pm. We were greeted immediately to be told our table was not ready. We were asked to leave and come back at 8.30pm. There was no explanation give and no apology offered. We could clearly see that the place was busy however a RESERVATION is made for a REASON. This place really needs to focus and upgrade their customer service skills and understand the meaning of a RESERVATION!!!! We chose not to return at 8.30pm for obvious reasons. This experience cost a grand total of £25 in return taxis. Should you choose to dine at La Pondicherry I would recommend you have a food back up plan back at home. We will not return.

Starter really nice but Currys were horrible very watery and tasteless meat like rubber spoke to waiter but nothing was done we won't be returning

Excellent food and service as always Still ss good as ever

The food here is absolutely amazing so fresh and great tasting! Loved the fact after the starters staff check when we were ready for the main and gave us a light break rather than bring it straight out! It’s been awhile since we last went but definitely will be back soon just hope they still have the scallops on the fish starter menu- delicious!!! There was a large party in but still food was fresh and in a timely manner! Brilliant service!

Not good at all - tasteless food . Over priced . Extremely disappointed. Would not recommend at all

Very delicious food! The dishes were creative and had just the perfect amount of spices. was to die for! Both lamb dishes were amazing.

Was really looking forward to trying pondicherry but was disappointed, the staff seem great the starters were slightly above average but the main meals were worst than ready meals the chicken is frozen cheap chicken the stuff you get in a 25kg block and the sauces have very little taste. The place had a strange toilet smell too, it was a bit off putting. Won’t be trying again !!!

Food was ok , curry quite sweet and watery but ok , but i was over charged it said 26 on the order but at the restaurant it was just under 32 !!

Lovely meal on new years eve 🎉 We had pre booked, they unfortunately couldn't find our booking, but soon sorted it out and seated us :) Staff are great and good service. Food is amazing, will be back soon!

Order was ready for the specified pick up time ... food was tasty...however on the downside I had to leave some to reheat for tomorrow ha ha.

Fantastic food and pleasant service, would defo recommend to everyone. I dont know what these fake reviews are on about.

Omg I saw a rat scurrying under the table and the place was dusty and stunk bad. Do they even have cleaners? We just abandoned our food and ran out as fast as we could. Don't like rats. No way!

Very rude service that we vacated without even reaching the ordering stage. We wanted a seat next to the walls and there were plenty free but they preferred us to leave rather than relocate us. It was the first time we went and it will be the very last!

The staff seemed too busy and stressed that they really didn't want us to be there and were very rude and abrupt with us. We just left because we didn't feel comfortable and went to an Italian instead.

La pondicherry is by far the best restaurant I use. Nothing is ever too mich trouble for them. We come on most special occasions. Spent last Christmas day there and we are there again this year. All the staff are amazing. Ignore the fake scam reviewers. Try it for yourself I assure you that you won't be disappointed

The waiter sneezed in my food and gave it me anyway. I said can you get me a new one. He said that he would have to charge for another. I said you just sneezed in my food. He told me to eat it. I told him get lost and went. AVOID!

Tummy ache straight after and had to be hospitalised. I think the food wasn't cooked properly but I kept chewing anyway thinking it was just me.

Very Very disappointed with the food... Chicken tasted as it had been boiled or frozen and then thawed out, lots of water in it, no texture to the chicken. Not big nice chunks of chicken.. Curry was very runny, lacked thickness and taste. Garlic naan ok, nothing to write home about and chicken pakorras to start with.... For the price of £35 with a rice, two mains, naan and starter I wouldn't recommend the takeaway, no taste, texture and the chicken has been thrown in the bin as stated above. First time take-away.....Won't be ordering or visiting the venue again.....extremely poor....

You'll get a real good curry and good beers too had brill night😎

The service was outstanding, and the food was excellent. Thank you for a great evening.

Always lovely curries and staff

This restaurant is great. No complaints at all. For those with Hearing Impairments or Sensory needs, it is very noisy when busy, it's just the building that makes it that way.

always come here for take aways or to dine in service always have time for you

Fantastic evening spent with my family, being served wonderful food by the friendly staff who went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed the experience. Will definitely be returning!

First time visit, everything was lovely, food, staff and the atmosphere. Service was efficient and our party of 6 went home very happy.

Ready on time nice food very tasty we would order again, service was quick

Great place. Excellent service and the menu cannot be matched for variety. Would recommend this to you all 👍🍽️🍽️

Microwave chips warmed up curry tastless starter was un edible first and last time bollywood much better

Just had take out, absolutely perfect, couldn't fault it. Tasted amazing 😋😋

This is without a doubt the best Indian restaurant I have ever dined at. The service is exceptional, with the manager spending time talking through different items on the menu. Then once the food arrived it was presented beautifully. The taste of the food is fenominal. This food is truly deserving of multiple Michelin stars.

Nice you must try yourself recommend From us, but we over fed ourselves. and spent over what needed, but lovely

A lovely atmosphere, fantastic food and help, friendly staff.

Really tasty takeaway, best I have had in ages.

Been here a few times and is now our favourite Indian restaurant. Great food, immaculate venue, fantastic service and friendly staff. Try the IPA beer by Cobra, it's spot on!

Just ordered 2 meals ( tikka and korma ) 1 rice 1 nan 1 popa 1 chutney Just ordered for home delivery live round the corner, very disappointed watery curries small portions and very expensive for what we got will definitely not order from here again wish I’d just gone to McDonald’s.

Wasn't overly impressed to be honest. Just nothing special in anyway.

We had a 15 95 meal here last night and it was lovely there do them wensday and Sunday it’s worth ever bit off the money we will be going back again lovely staff making sure everything was ok

Nice service nice food,well worth a visit

Friendly staff Really good food

Me and my fiancé went tonight for his birthday. The food was lovely such a good variety and asked how spicy we would like it. Had starters and mains. The staff were efficient and so lovely and welcoming. And the price, I honestly thought it would be double what it was. Such good value for money and absolutely delicious! Will definitely be back soon.

Great meal at La Pondicherryast night. Their Gourmet selection was excellent and well worth the money. We definitely will be good

Been here a few times with friends and family. Lovely food with a great choice and excellent service every time. Highly recommend 😋

The service is second to non. And the food is alway outstanding Thank you for always making our celebrations amazing

Absolutely gorgeous as usual. We’ve eaten in some brilliant curry houses and Pondicherry is up there with the best. Thanks for the fantastic service and amazing, tasty food. Very accommodating and always keen to please. We will be back soon for a Naga!

Well what a massive disappointment!! We ordered from here as looking for a nice Indian meal for my mother’s birthday. Delivery was quick, driver lovely polite chap …. Looked very promising, nice delivery bag Then…. Bhajis soggy flat and tasteless, rice really dry…. But it’s all in curry itself I always think…. Looked like tomato soup….. about 8 small pieces of what tasted like yesterday’s chicken …. Dry chewy tasteless - the masala sauce itself bland! Watery! No taste - just drenched my plate Naan dirty looking, falling to pieces and gritty Eaten bits - really awful

Excellent service. Lovely food.

First of all great staff, always smiling and always go the extra mile if you need anything and they make sure you have a great experience. Let's not forget the amazing food

Amazing food and lovely, friendly, helpful staff!

I had spiced duck starter & that was lovely, my main meal King prawn madras was poor , had a strange taste ,service was average, I won't go again
