Lime Tree in Bury

Excellent food and service. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Amazing place, really nice, staff was soo nice. I actually don't understand why people complaining.. Definitely recommend it

Food was really tasty, wasn't disappointed with what I got for the price. Only slight tweak I'd want is that the naans were maybe a bit too thick. I think I met the owner when I collected and he seemed delightful too. Slight warning, the 3 spice food options on the menu are definitely on the spicier side so only try those of you like a good kick. Sometimes spice can overpower the food but this was not the case here, they were all tasty. I would definitely eat here again.

Lovely and I don't normally like curry but that one was good.

apart from the very long wait for my meal, previously the mango had been pureed into the sauce rather than plopped in. it was unattractive but delicious

food is the best 👌 very delicious 😋

I ordered from here as I heard it was one of the best curry restaurants in prestwich, other than the burned popadoms everything was alright

Food was good but not exceptional however we were disappointed in the service. We booked a table on the Sunday due to the advert telling us that we could order a 3 course dinner for £15.95 however when we tried to order the food we were informed that the offer wasn’t applicable as it was a bank holiday however we pointed out that on the menu it states this available EVERY Sunday to which the waiter stated that’s what he’s been told so we asked to speak to the manager who had nipped out but he got him on the phone. The manager then spoke to my partner and said it should be in the small print but we said it was nowhere on the menu or on the website . He then said as a gesture of good will he would give us 10% off the bill and a free round of drinks which we accepted in good faith . Once we ordered the starters which to be honest were nice we then had a very long wait about 1 hour for our main meals . During our starters the manager who my partner had spoken to on the phone came up and thanked us for pointing out the error . He then proceeded to tell us that he had come from a very poor background and he preferred to feed the poor rather than the rich, which to be honest none of us saw the relevance. After we had finished our food , served by not the most polite or friendliest of staff aside from the woman who was at the bar who was lovely I went to pay the bill and the manager did take the 10% off however he was charging for the drinks which I pointed out that he had told my partner would be free which he denied saying that he knew what he had said implying that my partner had lied . Overall the dining experience which we had booked on recommendations from my partner’s customers was ok at the very best due to the poor service received. Bearing in mind I’ve been out for many meals especially Indian restaurants this was the worst I’ve had good food but poor service to summarise

We went as on line it was advertised as a set menu for £15.95 , on arrival we were seated and handed menus , staff were not very happy, it all Said on the menu about the deal, we ordered drinks and when we came to order food we got told the deal was not available on bank holidays, it does not say this on line or on the menus, we asked to speak to the manager , he wasn’t available but they put him on the phone for me to speak to, he said he didn’t realise it didn’t say on line or on the menus that this offer wasn’t available , he was rude on the phone but said he would take 10% off the bill, we ordered starters which were ok, we then waited an hour for our main course which again was ok but nothing special, the waiters were miserable and didn’t speak, the owner then arrived and came over to thank us for pointing out that the menu and on line did not state the offer was not available on bank holidays, then began to tell us he was a good man who came from a very poor background and preferred to feed the poor rather than rich, the whole experience was terrible and all We wanted was a nice family meal, please avoid this place if you want good food and service and if you’re rich as the owner only likes to feed the poor !

Absolutely out of this world, hot fresh and tasty, best Indian food in the area, quality restaurant, it doesn’t matter wether you sit in and eat or take it away/delivered, it’s always the same, friendly staff and delivery driver. I recommend this establishment too anyone I know, thanks guys for a lovely Sunday tea!😍😍 can’t wait to order again

Absolutely amazing food quality and quantity. First time trying here and definitely will be ordering again and recommending.

Food is amazing. Quality is amazing. Service is amazing. Highly recommend.

Always order from here, best Indian in Prestwich, fresh and tasty. The kahari sauce is 👌 and they listen to the order notes every time. Thanks guys

Delicious food, nicest I curry I’ve tasted in the prestwich area

Had a takeaway tonight, 22/5/24, the first time we've had a meal from the Lime Tree. It was really delicious, full of flavour, generous portions and delivered promptly. We'll definitely go back. Thank you.

Delicious food but delivery charge is way too high

Best in prestwich, food is always amazing and the staff are super friendly and nice!

This is a real hidden gem in prestwich. I was there with family in the evening and the place is just unreal. Staff are friendly and very welcoming. The decor is modern and very relaxed. It’s clean and the food was just unreal. I always order a lamb Kahari and this place is the best one I’ve ever tasted. I would definitely recommend this place and am considering returning for my fortieth birthday with family and friends as the price was so good too.

Went there to drop off few customer as a Private hire driver and wearing my badge. A member of staff at counter was really rude and unprofessional. Don’t know how he deal with customer he must need training or shouldn’t be in hospitality industry.

Thankyou for such a lovely service and amazing dinner, really enjoyed ourselves and the service given by Syed specifically was great, he is so welcoming and made the whole experience super friendly. Shanice Dan Jess Matt

stunning food and always accommodate your needs

Really good quality meat and well prepped and made

Fantastic meal at a good price with great size portions and wonderful attentive and helpful staff, thank you for a pleasurable experience 😁

The best nice to see good 👍👍👍 luck

4/4/24 So the 1st time back this year and it was great to see Jonny, Asher and the rest of the amazing staff. Welcomed with a hug and shown to our table, the beers wern't too far behind, followed closely by the poppadoms. The sharing sizzling platter for starters and the chicken shishlik mains made for an enjoyable evening. 2/9/23 Tonight I introduced 33 people to the delights of Jonny and all the lovely staff at The Lime Tree. Booked in plenty of advance and kept him updated on guest numbers everyone had a fantastic time and I'm sure they will be back for more. The food was excellent as always. See you soon. 1/7/23 Were here again had a date night, we hadn't booked and was busy when we got there about 6:30 so we had a drink and after a half hour we got seated and had a lovely tasty meal. Poppadoms and a mixed platter for starters and lime tree special for mains. Best little curry house in Prestwich. Went back again this week after the re decor and it looks amazing, thought I would have something different instead of my usual and chose the Shahi Murgh Masala it was such a tasty dish, can't wait to go back and try something new.

Great food as always but it took 2 hours to get 2 mains and a naan less than a mile to us. Delivery is so unpredictable it puts us off going back.

The owner of this place is a jumped up little queen. He clearly enjoys belittling and attacking his customers for no apparent reason. He needs to step out of the closet and stop taking it out on paying customers.

Delicious meal and the warmest of welcome from Johnny and the team! Thanks for a lovely evening. Dan and Robin.

Qoted 50-65 minutes. Took over 2 hours. Spoke to restaurant after 2nd delay message and was assured it would not be delayed any further. But it was. Food was great as always but this service is not ok.

Average food - on time but not very hot 🙁

Saying arrived but not here?? 18-21??

I ordered this at 5.30 the original est time was 6.55 then changed to 7.20 . I had an update at 7.20 saying it was on its way and it arrived at 7.45 . I live approximately 10 minutes WALK from this restaurant. I could have walked there and back in this time. Its a shame as , other than being cold the food was nice . Won't bother ordering from this restaurant again

Horrible place for delivery always late and expensive

Best Indian Restaurant in Greater Manchester. If you don't have the time of your life I'll pay your bill.

we decided to try this place out for the first time I was greeted by a woman who was quite pleasant however, the staff who asked if we’d like drinks and to order food was so rude, I was heavily pregnant at the time my partner wanted to order food however I wanted something small, so only asked for chips they was so rude and told me I couldn’t order something small? He then went and got the chef not sure why to question me, and told me I can’t! If I’m dining here or if i decided to dine for one drink you should allow it, if it’s going in your pocket and your making money from me then you shouldn’t refuse service so in the end I only ended up paying for the drinks we purchased and left. I would never go here ever again. Replying to your comment.. We did come here, I’m not stupid this is the right restaurant. OPPOSITE HEATON PARK the chef did come on the restaurant floor, my experience and everything i stated at the top was facts. No wonder there are so many bad reviews on this place, can tell I’m not the only one Replied 2! He did come out I ain’t lying , a woman was working she greeted us and sat us down I really don’t need to lie!, what really makes me laugh is, every comment I’ve seen about the poor customer service you’ve replied is in the same manner you treated paying customers! And who are you to call me vindictive ,I’m not out to be spiteful… I’m giving my honest review on how we was treated that’s all

Always superb service by these guys. They offer takeaway, but it's always worth visiting instead. The best in the area. thanks

Poor service and rude waiters including the manager. Waiter spilt a drink over one of our party of 8 and we had to wipe the table. After an hour our food arrived and it was thrown onto the table. Complained to manager who said they were busy and short staffed and made no apology. When we left, not one waiter nor the manager said goodbye, completely ignored us. Won't be returning

Arrived a bit late but fantastic food, all really enjoyed it.

Very tasty food! Faultless really. Lemon rice, tarka dal, peshwari Naan, chicken shashlick jalfrezi, all very fresh, flavoursome with lovely fresh (not frozen) veg.

Great food great service couldn’t do enough for us Thankyou Tracy and friends .

Thankyou Limetree for making it a special night for my sons 21st meal last night. Your staff and hospitality are second to none. Food always been great. You made it extra special

Of course love this place with a passion Johnny and the tram amazing went sat 3rd Feb place was packed out glad I booked, considering how full it was service was great not sure of the ladies name who showed us to our table but she is just perfect remembered us from previous visits, this time we had a starter gorgeous garlic chicken puri and poppadoms then chicken madras n rice everything was piping hot gorgeous, you do have the option of taking left overs home Johnny always makes a point of coming over to. Say hi and thanks us for coming can not fault this place you can see the chefs cooking everything fresh from scratch amazing place thank you all 😊

Cannot fault at all. Food amazing, service amazing!

There is a fantastic menu here at Lime Tree, the service is on point, try the Drunken Duck, you won't be disappointed

I can not recommend this restaurant enough ! The food and service is always incredible it NEVER disappoints!!!! The owner is incredible and as a fellow business owner an absolute inspiration.. thank you Johnny !

Didn’t enjoy it at all. Naan bread was burnt . The curry was more chunks of tomato than meat . Will not be ordering again .

Forgot to order popadum . Rang them up but they wasn’t interested in sending me some cause driver had already left

Brilliant food and service, I've been going there for 10 years and never had a bad curry 👍

Ordered takeaway after work, ready at 6 for pickup, lovely staff, lady at reception very friendly, as per usual food was fantastic, great value for money, would highly recommend if you enjoy well made tasty food.

Very busy New Years Eve evening. The restaurant was almost full but a great atmosphere. The food was delicious and not full of oil like some other restaurants. The staff were all very busy but were friendly. We will definitely visit again.

Absolutely gorgeous! Food was hot, extremely tasty, best Indian food around!

Great food. Very long wait 2.5 hours however it was new years eve's

As usual the food was absolutely delicious

All round good service and quality food

food outstanding and the nicest, politest delivery man i have ever had the pleasure of meeting! he’s a credit to just eat

Awful experience. Came here for a birthday meal, booked in advance. The waiter was rude and unhelpful. He was dismissive with our queries about the set meal options and contradicting what was written on the menu. We asked for the manager to help with our query, who came over and was incredibly patronising, repeatedly rolling his eyes and very condescending. We decided to leave without ordering and as we stood the manger whilst seating other customers rudely said "are you ready to leave now" offering no apology and didn't care about upsetting or losing customers. All in all very rude and would not recommend. Until today, I had never left a restaurant before ordering! We ended up going to Forts of India in Whitefield the food was fantastic and the service was excellent. In response to the reply below. 1)Kyle has eaten here before therefore his opinion is from a previous visit. On this occasion yes we left before ordering. 2)On Kyle's review he was merely suggesting another restaurant around the corner that we've been to before and enjoyed. As I mentioned yesterday we went to Forts of India in which we had a much more pleasant experience than in your restaurant. 3)The reason you should have offered an apology is because your behaviour was disgusting. Also there are a number of reviews on here with the same complaints about rude staff. You reply to those reviews with the same rude attitude. In one comment you called somebody 'a vindictive woman' if that's how you treat paying customers I don't know how you're still in business.

Poor qualitiy of food and staff very rude and patronising people terrible place to eat and would not suggest anymore this place use to be a good place to eat and has gone down hill drastically would suggest parache round corner as is much better and staff friendly and very helpful forget limetree walk 2 mins round corner much better food and service To your reply well done for being able to count to 9 as you didn't seem to be that clever on the day. Anyways no i didn't eat but I had been not long before and food was poor then so was not really expecting much this time round also as a manger when a customer asks for there waiter to be replaced as he was not very useful and didn't understand your menu which you didn't either. Also your a terribly rude person so I wouldn't be surprised if you wasn't there more longer with the way use treat customers. Have a gooden 👍

Food was lovely and earlier than the estimate.

food and delivery exceptional as always

Service a little slower than usual with no explanation however food was on point as always.

Tried something new. Chicken tikka Nepalese, very nice, spicy and tasty

Excellent service and excellent food would recommend and will be going back again. 5*

Lovely meal this evening for our Xmas function everyone enjoyed there meals staff were wonderful thank you

The chicken was over done and very dry couldn’t eat it was really disappointing as we’ve never had a problem before with the lime tree

Usually lovely, but today very greasy and lacking in flavour

Picked up food 15 mins ahead of time. Thank you

Food come cold, lamb chops was burnt wasn’t impressed.

Excellent food. Service was great. Highly recommended. We'll be back.

I have never been before, highly recommended by my daughter who has. Went last night, was amazing, big portions, food just incredible. Very, very, impressed. Staff are really nice. Will be back.

Tasty food, happy with order.. would order again.

Food was far too spicy not particularly hot when delivered and item contained cashew nuts in the sauce even though not stated on menu and we. Have an allergy in the house

Wonderful meal, lovely place & owners very welcoming.

Nice food nice staff can’t ask for much else

Our favourite restaurant with a warm welcome every time and amazing food

On time well presented, hot and excellent quality tasty food. Highly recommend! 🙂

great tasting ,fresh hot food as always

Tandoori chicken very dry onion baja poor madras just alright

Lovely Food as always, just wish the soft drinks stayed fizzy. Seems like they are bottle poured so they go flat within 10-15 minutes

Great food always. High quality & speedy delivery service. Always recommend this restaurant.

Not the best manager seemed harrased and impatient struggled with big group i wanted to pay separate from group as I didn't know anyone and the managers reaction was very rude quite vocal I felt very uncomfortable and will not be going back was expensive too for what I had 17.95 for prawn dish no rice no sides prawns tasted good shame about the service

Passenger in delivery car through a glass bottle out the window outside our house. We’re frustrated at the lack of care with littering and with it smashing on the road this could cause a puncture in our car tyre.

2/9/23 Tonight I introduced 33 people to the delights of Jonny and all the lovely staff at The Lime Tree. Booked in plenty of advance and kept him updated on guest numbers everyone had a fantastic time and I'm sure they will be back for more. The food was excellent as always. Everyone ordering different meals, we were there for the evening chatting and mingling so the meal was at a nice slow pace as we had all been look forward to our 'curry night' and didn't want it to end. Thank you Lime Tree.

Really good food, nice to find an Indian that does a paneer option with all the curry dishes. Definitely the best vegetarian friendly curry house around that I know of ( Except Lily's Kitchen in Ashton). Only downside is on both occasions Ive been 2x curry, 2x rice, 2x naan and 4 beers costs around £80.

Recently visited here as a big group attending a meal with friends, service was slow and poor. The staff (in particular the manager) was extremely rude and vile and spoke to us in a disgusting manner. How they are the manager I do not know, absolutely appalling attitude towards customers. Do not waste your money, the food was average nothing spectacular and the wait is long for a bang average meal. Avoid at all cost!!!!

Excellent. Massive portions, better value than a standard takeaway. Defo ordering again

Always great food, great service. Very friendly staff. Also the separate vegan menu makes it much easier to order

Disappointing as food was late and one order wrong

Crazy delivery time. It was always going to be early when windows like that are issued

The food was top quality and excellent service. I had chicken and veg saag which was delicious.

We loved the saag paneer, it’s always a treat. We could always have more of the yoghurt dip, it’s so tasty!

Beautiful as always thankyou Johnny x karen dave x

Disgusting place, food was warmed up incorrect food give. Ordered Buffett didn’t receive the full menu options and no discount given. Rats and mice at the back coming in and out of the back door.

Absolutely gorgeous, and we got a free bottle of wine because it was a large order. Even though it was a large order, everything was delicious and hot when delivered. A+++

So good the food and service beautiful inside excellent choice an value staff brilliant

First time ordering from Lime Tree, really glad we did. Food arrived on time and piping hot. Generous portions and really flavoursome. Can't wait to have a sit in meal at this restaurant if this is the quality of their take out.

We decided to get a take away and chose The Lime Tree. Easy to order over the phone, went to pick up half an hour later. Food was delicious, fresh and tasty. Friendly staff. Will be back for a meal and also will use take away again.

Always great, never disappointed, quality has never suffered in the 5 years I've been ordering from here, lime tree hands down beats any place I've ever ordered from, couple of quid more for the best is no contest

Lovely food. Every dish we had was all cooked perfectly. Staff were very friendly and were amazing with my children. Food was also reasonably priced and it has a nice relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely be returning! 😋

Friendly staff and food was really good. We had the Sunday family banquet. Great value for money.
