Lamb biriani, chicken tikka butter puri, chicken Saag chana, garlic Naan & pilau rice - best Indian takeaway and great portions for price. The butter puri was amazing and the chicken in all dishes, so tender, shall be back for moreee!

Waited over an hour over the stated time only to get a call saying they hadn't seen our online order... which i had 3 confirmation emails for... then waited another hour for food. I dont understand that, shame really as the food was nice. Also didn't get any of the discount or extras as stated online. Overall nice food but service not good.

First time ordering based on the high reviews which do not reflect our experience at all. Ordering was easy and simple with a very helpful and friendly lady on the phone. Mix tandoori starter tasted very good. However all three didn’t come with the salad and dips as ordered! We ordered the Tikka, Madras, Dansak and Makhani. There’s were bland with no authentic taste. The portions of the Makhani and Dansak were half portions at best with little meat. The Dansak sauce just tasted of gravy with no lentils. Chips were cold and dry. We were encouraged to pay cash for a free extra dish which wasn’t delivered. Im not sure how the reviews can be so great when our experience was very disappointing.

Could not recommend this place enough. I’ve been making my way through the highly rated Indian restaurants since moving to Plymouth and this is by far the best one. Far more interesting veggie options than anywhere else- the paneer khari was outstanding and the dhal was super tasty. Best onion bahjis I've had in ages and the coconut rice was great. My partner said that his chicken jalfrezi was the best he’s ever had. Reasonably priced too and the delivery driver was really friendly. Won’t be eating curry from anywhere else from now on. Thank you!

This is my favorite Indian restaurant I've ever had in Plymouth. The owner is so kind and the food is so delicious! You can get a 12% discount if you take it out, so the quality is so good for the price! I'll go buy it again over the weekend. If you're looking for real Indian food, I'd recommend this restaurant👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Curries are delicious here! Always had great service. Love that you get a choice of rice or naan with some of the dishes. The medium curries are hotter than I expected but they are so tasty!!! Easily one of the best takeaways in Plymouth!

I am originally born and bred in Birmingham so eating Indian food was a big part of my life, having lived in Plymouth for over 15 years and failed to find a delicious Indian, it was an amazing relief to find one close to home. This is the most delicious Indian food I have ever had in Plymouth and over the last 3 months have eaten from there on a weekly basis. The ingredients are so fresh, amazing herbs and spices. Quality beyond compare, and always the most flavoursome hot delicious food. Service is great and I have never had a problem with delivery. This in my opinion is the best Indian in Plymouth. Please do not read reviews about poor delivery. It’s the food you are reviewing and I can promise you it’s something I cannot find fault with. Many friends from work now use this takeaway even from places like plymstock and st bureaux from my recommendation. 5*

I had my family staying so decided to try The Lisbon Tandoori for a takeaway I chose them because they had good reviews and I wasn’t disappointed. The food was tasty, generous portions and hot. So often a takeaway turns up either lukewarm, cold or something missing. This was none of the above. I will most certainly be going back soon

First time ordering tonight! Food was excellent and Hot 🥵 in both ways which is brilliant as it reminded me of my old spot little masalas in town which isn’t open anymore and I haven’t had Indian since but heard great things from this spot. And I wasn’t disappointed at all everything was fresh and the gentleman (Owner) on the phone was super polite and helpful with me ordering on the phone 😀 If you are looking at reviews about his place as new customer you won’t be disappointed it’s one of the best Indian spots out there. Will be back and I look forward to it! Edit!! Shame they have no Excluded set menu from the discount now It’s full price on the website so won’t be having it as often now due to its high price. Big shame really

Ordered for the first time tonight, used the online ordering system, very easy to use. Arrived close to collection time stated when ordered and the order was not ready, the owner was so apologetic and explained he was still cooking it and it would be with me soon, he gave me a drink to apologise, I do not mind waiting when food is being cooked so fresh, we traveled from Ivybridge having seen the reviews and WOW, we will definitely be returning, the food was piping hot and absolutely delicious, the flavours were incredible, the special dishes include either rice or naan, the naan is fluffy and so tasty, the kebab is to die for! We will definitely be making the journey from Ivybridge again and would recommend Lipson Tandoori to anyone!

I would have added a picture but the food was so, so good. I'm a brummie so my standards are high and I'm more than happy to say that Lipson Tandoori met and exceeded them. We had murugh mahkani (possibly the best I've ever had) and the Indian mixed special which was flavourful and spicy without just being a jet propelled blast of chilli. Coupled with a light and fluffy fresh naan and spot on pilau rice, will definitely be returning.

In future could you PLEASE NOT LITTER MY GARDEN OR THE NEIGHBOURS WITH YOUR LEAFLETS. Whoever was doing your leaflet drop tonight 28/8/23 @7pm in Lisson Grove could you please ask them to come back and pick up the leaflets they’ve strewn across gardens and patios. If they are struggling to walk from the pavement to the front door then they probably shouldn’t be doing leaflet drops. It is also NOT A GOOD ADVERT for your business. General litter is already bad enough please don’t add to it.

Lipson Tandoori is our new family favourite Indian takeaway after trying it for the first time yesterday.

Shah was a delight to chat to during the pick-up. Our menu choice was: Plain Papadoms Mango Chutneys Mixed Pickles Tandoori Mix Nowabi Bhuna (Fairly hot) Chicken Tikka Masala Tandoori Butter Chicken Pilau Rice Plain Naan Sag Paneer We’ll definitely be visiting again.

Absolute joke. I ordered food online, it said it was going to be 60 minutes, after waiting for 90 minutes I called and was told it was still not out for delivery, he promised it was going out in the next 15 mins. I never received it until another hour, nearly an hour and half late. I told them they should not take orders if they can not fulfil them. When the food turned up, The House Curry had no meat or prawns in it. it was just a few bits of vegetables. I WOULD STAY CLEAR GUYS, TERRIBLE SERVICE. RUDE SAFF TOO

BEWARE at least 90% of the staff take cocaine whilst preparing your food here. Please don’t take a chance on your loved ones. It is also cooked at their non sanitary house and they have mice! The basic stock is not cooked on site and if you saw their home kitchen you would not eat here. Environmental Health are aware! I have nothing to gain from this just know these are horrid people. Ironically their clientele are mostly white. As their white neighbour they scream insults at me if I sit in my garden in a vest top and call me the “dirty white woman “ to their children. Please don’t eat here.

We ordered haddock and chips early evening. Very busy that night. The food arrived in a large stout paper carrier which was OK but the fish and chips were in a shallow brown cardboard box which had been wrapped tightly in kitchen foil. As soon as we opened the box it was obvious that both the fish batter and all the chips were soggy and damp. The box was 2/3 covered in oily maybe vinegary stains. This had the inevitable effect of reducing most of the attractions of fish and chips. The paper bag and the cardboard box are both sensible ways of keeping the chips and the batter crispy. The foil destroyed it all, even if there were good intentions of keeping it all warm. Whenever I use a chip shop, I turn away plastic carriers and decline advance salt and vinegar. Perillas or their delivery teams need to scrap the foil. About half the haddock survived in a palatable condition.
