Love Masala in Cheshire West and Chester

food is nice but we have the set meal for one, which is very nice but needs more variety of curries on the set menu would be better so you are not having the same curry all the time, and to give people more of a choose of curries if they have the set meal

We’ve just eaten in for the Wednesday deal and had the best experience! Everything we had tasted amazing and such good value for money! The waiter was so friendly and chatty he was great. We’ve lived in saltney for a few years and never tried here wish we tried it sooner. And you can bring your own booze!

Date: Friday evening 23/08/2024 My husband went into the venue to order: 2 x lamb chops (under tandoori dishes) as takeaway. The chops were so tough that they were not edible. The vegetable curry sauce was insipid, the salad for 2 consisted of a few salad leaves, and half a cocktail tomato squashed into a pladtic packet. No mint yogurt. What a waste of money.

Ordered here for the first time, this was honest Indian food with much taste, ordered the Quorn biryani, chappati, tarka dahl, vegetable samosa, all were really good, not oily. Impresse. The premises doesn't look appealing but damn the food cooked here is great!!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice food, highly recommended 👍

Well worth a visit the food was very tasty and good value for the price

Sunday buffet was absolutely amazing, poppadoms, plenty of starters and then about 6 curry choices, rice and sides. Was so reasonable, we took our kids so they could try different bits and they didn't even charge for the kids. Really good value, friendly service. Definitely recommend.

Have eaten in before but on this occasion, ordered on line to take out. As always, prompt, courteous service and the food was delicious.

We went for the Sunday buffet. The food was brilliant and fantastic value for money. We will definitely be making more visits in the future!

Excellent food and the staff can't do enough for you

Popped in for a curry during the week. Restaurant was quiet but staff friendly. Food was piping hot and very tasty. Good choice of food. We would return!

Food lovely just need more staff go quite a lot lovely madras

One of the best takeaway currys I’ve had in a while. Really delicious and not too oily. The chapattis were magic.

Very tasteful best around takeaway I wouldn't eat in its more a shop than a restaurant very nice food please try

Excellent customer service as always.. fresh hot food tastes absolutely amazing 😋

Me and my partner had a takeaway from here on Sunday. Very good food, excellent service. I recommend.

First off the phone lines didn’t work so calling to make an order wasn’t possible, we had to drive in and order, when I informed them he knew but chose not to tell me when I collected a menu and hour prior,seems just eat is there preferred method of service as the restaurant was empty, the food smelt and tasted amazing initially however we soon noticed all dishes appeared the same. No difference between the butter chicken and Dansak other than some onion and coriander,no lentils, no spice and these are two very different Currys ,I love spice and the food appeared very plain in terms of flavour. The keema rice and saag aloo were fantastic.

Went in after 9pm on a Sunday and they were closing but very friendly man said they could do us a takeaway. It was ready fairly quickly and we’ve just finished it and must say one of the nicest Indian takeaways we’ve had in a while. I had the chicken shashlik and pilau rice and they put in a lovely vegetable sauce to go with it. Chicken was lovely and fresh and lovely big chunks of veg. Husband had a lamb dish which the man recommended as my husband likes spicy (can’t remember the name of it so Love Masala if you read this review let us know) and the flavours of the lamb curry was amazing with lovely veggies including spinach and my hubby said it tasted very healthy. We had raita and naan bread and was all delicious. They do a buffet on a Sunday 4pm to 9pm so we’ll defo come back and try it. Very impressed- thank you.

Nice taste. Good cosy place to enjoy Indian food.

Had a takeaway, very good value. Small area for dining in. On Just Eat app but this is not available when they are very busy.

Very extensive menu, staff very knowledgeable. Tasty, hot and value for money

What a meal and superb staff couldn't do enough

Excellent food! Service was good but slow. Children were ravenous by the time it arrived (as was I!) Looks like there's a lot of takeaway food going out to the detriment of the people in the restaurant

Sat here now and totally disappointed as past reviewers have said takeaway orders seem to be priority Walked in at 8.45 was told we close at 10 fair enough but a bit rude its 9.40 and still waiting for our food will not becoming back 8 takeaway orders have gone out very disappointed the restaurant looks like a pop up no heating on and dead atmosphere waiter rude cutlery just thrown onto the table

A cracking Indian , eat in or take out delicious food 😋👌

Really disappointed. We have been told the food here is fabulous from friends and so finally tried it and was really dissatisfied. Chicken chat was lovely but popadom was soggy. We ordered a dopiaza and butter chicken and received two dopiazas. After my girlfriend calling them to ask if we could collect a butter chicken the staff asked her to repeat the story to a few staff members to then be told the two dishes were very similar and that we had a butter chicken. We know the difference between the dishes and after she explained this to him he continued to say it was fine. Finally after asking , "what she wanted him to do about it" she asked if we could come and get our actual order. He then told us that we had to return the dishes and pick up the chicken. At this point we had had enough and I told him we were very disappointed in the customer service and it had ruined our evening treat. The dopiaza wasn't very nice either and s we have had to add ingredients to it to enjoy our dinner. Really disappointed and won't go here again. It could have been a simple fix.

Food all tasted the same starters sheek kebab too salty other mains biryani tasted hot as well as sauce which shouldn't be been once won't come back

Really lovely food and great service. Food was a little later than I was told to collect it (of no bother to me at all, I was in no rush!)but the staff were really apologetic about it. Would definitely return if I was visiting the area again 😊

What a place, amazing food, I've eaten in every indian in Chester and love masala is one of the best. Shorif what a host great guy worth a visit everyone.

Great curry and lovely service. Shame we live so far away in Kent but next time we are in this area we will be back to sample some more of your devious food

What a find!! I count myself as somewhat of an expert in Indian takeaways. Having tried approximately 20 within at 15 miles radius of Chester recently. All the usual sides ordered and main being Chicken Tikka vindaloo. Most places have long since stopped serving vindaloo with any semblance of heat however, I asked these to add some heat into it for me and they did. This was my second visit and like the first I can't fault the service or quality of the meal. Really friendly staff when you go in to collect it. I will definitely be back for a 3rd visit and 4th and 5th and so on. Thanks for a great meal.

Went on a recommendation from a friend, and the restaurant is now our preferred Indian takeaway. Extensive menu and a refreshing change from other restaurants in the area. 15% off all meals except set meals, and only on collection orders over £10. We are working through the menu and have enjoyed everything to date. Penni naan is new to us, and can be very hot (chiili). Friendly management.

Lack of service due to only one member of staff front of house. Take aways were more important. 6 phone calls taken within 15 minutes. We were left sitting at our table with no drinks or menus for over half an hour. It’s a real shame as I know the food is good!

What a shame! Used to love it here but tonight we were left for half an hour and when asked if we could order some drinks were told they were too busy, but he had no problem taking the take away orders. It would have taken 2 minutes to get us some drinks, we had no problem waiting for food but when the phone takes priority over your customers sitting in the restaurant, thats bad management. I have never had such a bad experience in a restaurant before.

I live in Hoole, so I don'y normally drive across town for a takeaway, however, I was going over to my son's place in Broughton so decided to try Love Massala. I'm glad I did the food was absolutely delicious, we had some starters and three main courses. My son can usually bank on some leftovers for the following day, not on the occasion. Also I had a lovely friendly welcome when I arrived to pick up my order, and great value to boot! Highly recommended .

Only ever had takeout but the food is sublime.

The manager is a nice person. We did turn up last minute for a take away. The chips were very nice and the pilau rice, but the butter chicken was nothing like I've ever had before (NOT IN A GOOD WAY), no idea what it was but wasn't butter chicken and my friend ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and the thing tasted like Tomato puree. Sorry but I don't recommend it at all. I was so disappointed.

Best Indian food we have had for years glad we found you see you soon.

Just returned from a brilliant experience here.. Service friendly and professional.. Food fantastic... Would highly recommend to anyone who appreciates authentic cuisine cooked with care... And ps the toilets are immaculate always a bonus... Thank you

Had a take away this evening from love masala it was our first one from here and it definitely won’t be our last the food is absolutely outstanding enjoyed by my whole family service was great too Thank you See you again very soon

We have had a takeaway meal from here before . It was so nice to dine in. We went for my sons birthday. Shorif welcomed us & was very pleasant throughout ordering the meal & :serving our meal. Top marks! The meal was lovely as always. We will most definitely be back to dine in.

The food was excellent Highly recommended

Title says it all. It's our local and we visit twice a month. Love it. Huge menu, top quality food, great service.

Great food when you eat in or take away...never had a bad meal. Since they opened.

Such a nice meal....really nice friendly and prompt service. Every part of the meal was delicious from Poppadoms, dips, sides, mains and breads.

Excellent food and fantastic service, so glad we went!

Can't fault the food and service, staff are very friendly and the food is second to none. Best place I've eaten in the Chester area

I have not had a sit down meal here for many years but when I did they were lovely. Over the past 18 months I have had many takeaway meals and everyone was delicious. I personally think its the best Indian food in Chester area. Lasts one was on Saturday was great, fresh and plenty of it.

We had a takeaway when stopping at local holiday accommodation. The food was delicious, it is definitely more restaurant quality than a normal takeaway. The 5 of us had different things, all piping hot and all tasty. The chicken Bhuna is lovely!

Had the most amazing meal for my birthday last night. Considering there were 20 of us, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. They went out of their way to make sure everything was brought out on time. Everyone had the set meal which is such amazing value for money. Nobody was disappointed at all & there was enough food to feed another 10 of us. The staff are so friendly. It’s so refreshing to find such a fantastic place to eat on your doorstep. Thank you to all the staff at Love Masala who made my birthday celebrations a night to remember. 🍾🍰

This is fairly local to me and I've been three times altogether, but I think I won't be returning. The food is not the best Indian food you can get in Chester, and the service just is extremely inattentive. It's not a pleasant experience for a sit-down meal if you've got people collecting fast food stood next to your table either. I've had far better service and tastier food too in any other Indian restaurant I've tried in Chester. It's a shame because it would be great to have a local eatery that I enjoy going to in Saltney.

Food average and staff rather inattentive. All the other Indian restaurants I've ever tried in Chester were a nicer experience. I've been her three times (it's close to my house), so it's not absolutely awful - but nothing to write home about either.

We were staying in the area and happened upon this restaurant. I must say I was fabulous! It’s a shame that we have nothing of this standard locally. Yes the interior of the restaurant is quite basic, but this is certainly made up by the friendly staff and great food!

We’ve had several takeaways, always delicious food, really hot, great service.

I'm gobsmacked at the positive reviews for this place. I thought it was terrible. Had a takeaway of byriani, mixed grill and lamb jalfresi. The grill was mostly chicken which was OK but the lamb chop was mostly bone. The lamb in the cuury was small, over cooked and grissley. The byriani was just rice with a bif of meat and veg and some curry powder. Just ropey. We binned most of it

First time ordering with Love Masala and won't be the last, the Lamb Dhansak and Dupiaza was incredible. Great service too, so glad to have this place down the road!

The waiter Sharif is fantastic, very helpful and provided excellent service!

Freshest dansak I've had for a while. Also very friendly restaurant

Ordered for 17.50 not ready till gone 18.30. Its irrelevant if you order on line and are given a time they won't make it till you arrive, which if you buy other food from other takeaways that food is cold!!! Don't get me wrong great food just a terrible service.

Wow first time here set meal for 3 takeaway we all loved it so will definitely come back here as it was one of the nicest Currys I have ever had

Tasty food , lots of flavours. Ordered ahead for takeaway. Excellent variety on menu. Friendly staff

Had a few collections from here and really enjoyed the food! The staff there are always very friendly and you also have an option to dine in which I will be trying soon.

Very nice well priced and fresh

Food was not Indian at all,,its just bluffing in name of Indian food

Food was delicious, staff worked very hard and were friendly. However, we waited a long time. Must hire more staff.

First time gettin a takeaway from here last night.. By far the best indian around will 100% be returnin soon.

Food is always good here and the staff are really friendly

One of the best indian restaurants I've ever been to! The food was absolutely gorgeous and well worth the wait....it wasn't the quickest to get to the table because they were busy, but that's a good sign as far as I'm concerned. I'm just sorry...

Had 2 take aways from here in the last month. Easily the best Indian food I have tasted in years. Very fresh and great depth of flavour.

Visited here 1/8/2020 as a party of 4 adults and 1 child whilst visiting the area. A real find ; lovely friendly staff , gorgeous food all at a reasonable price .Please visit you will not be disappointed

We were missing our very regular Masala curry so we were pleased to find out they are doing takeaway 3 nights a week. We're not a fan of takeaway normally as we prefer to eat in but needs must. It travelled well and was delicious,...

Ordered a takeaway online. Ordered 2 lots of popadoms with chutnry etc. This shold have been 2 lots of 4 popadoms., instead they sent me 2 popadoms charging me 7 pound odd. The most expensive popadoms I've ever had.

We have eaten at Love Masala several times without incident, which is why we chose to return for my husband's birthday meal with a group of friends. We booked a table for 14 people for 8pm on a Saturday night. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy,...

We eat here very regularly, it's fantastic. The food and service are second to none. We don't eat Indian food anywhere else in Chester cos it just isn't as good. Babs and Sham always look after us . See you soon!!

Enjoyable evening receiving great great from friendly team. Clean and tidy and easy to park on main road outside. Great menu choices including regular choices as well restaurant special dishes. Kebab starter really fresh and tasty and the mains nicely seasoned having selected lamb tikka...

Fantastic food and I have searched the area, nothing like it Service just fabulous. Staff couldn't do enough for us. Cant wait to get back there tonight!

Had a lovely meal here. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent food , service and cost. We had a lovely evening and are keen to return to try to be a little more adventurous with the menu. A hidden gem for sure

Really tasty food and friendly service

Love this place great staff an amazing food

On a family visit to Chester spent our last night having an enjoyable meal at Picanha. Been at a few of these rodizio style brazilian steakhouses and this didn't disappoint. Visited picanha for my boyfriends birthday and it was such an experience ! The food was so tasty and the service was fast and prompt! They also gave us a small cake and sparkler to celebrate the birthday which was complementary and extemely thoughtful!

If you like/know your Indian food, you will appreciate this place. We have gone through all the Chefs Specials and Reccomendations. Food is absolutely amazing. The staff are so lovely and welcoming. Highly reccomend

Good service.Tasty food. Would have been 5 stars had there been more meat in the dishes.

Gorgeous Indian Restaurant, we have been loads of times and always try new dishes. Literally never disappointed. Staff are so kind and friendly. It's a real hidden gem.

Ordered online to pick up at 17.55. Arrived, place in darkness so called phone number and asked if they were open tonight. Told yes they opened at 17.30 even though I was sat outside in my car and it was 17.55. Knocked on door, chef...

Great food , great atmosphere, friendly staff

Great food lovely staff and great value for money.

The best curry house in Chester. The food is amazing and the staff are super friendly. A real hidden gem. Been to Brook Street but Love Masala is even better. Visited as part of a group and everyone agreed. Will definitely be back. 👌

Our first visit to Love Masala for a while, and I'd forgotten how good a restaurant this is. A hidden gem in Saltney. The menu has all the usual suspect, but the two pages of specialities can't be ignored as here lie some amazing dishes....

While staying at a nearby Airbnb, we (two couples) decided to try Love Malsala and we are still dreaming about it one month later. We confessed to being "Indian food rookies" (from the U.S., no less) and asked our waiter for explanations/advice on what to...

Our second visit to Love Masala in 2 weeks...first visit was as a couple and we enjoyed the food so much we returned with another couple. Food was once again outstanding and we all loved the waiter Sham who was very attentive with the service....

The restaurant was almost full on a Wednesday night, how good is that! The service was perfect and the food was incredibly tasty. My wife had Tandoori chicken and said it was the best she had ever had. The atmosphere was friendly and buzzing, a lovely place to eat and meet new friends.

We're regulars here, we come twice a month. There's no better Indian food in Chester for us. The menu is large with lots of specialist dishes but if for some reason you don't find something to suit they'll adapt any dish to your liking. The...

I'm extremely critical over curries, but Love Masala are by far the best curry in Chester. You won't be disappointed.

It's alright. Is what it is. I would happily go again but it wouldn't be my suggestion. Very average.

We have only had take away here but its always delicious.

Well it’s very hard to find great Indian food. There’s a lot of bad food out there. Well this place has really impressed me ! Used them a few times for a takeaway and been very impressed. Korai with extra garlic ! Went with my...

Lovely food lovely staff and very reasonable prices. Well worth a visit!

We stayed at an AirBnB in the area and got lucky to stumble on this place. The inside is clean and the service was prompt. The food came out hot and delicious!... oh, and they probably have some of the best naan bread i've ever had! The server (Baba), was a great guy and made us feel so welcome... Thanks! The prices are really cheap for the high quality food and service. If you are anyway in this area, make sure you stop by for a great meal!

We went to love masala to get a takeout we waited over an hour and a half for our food they never even told us how long it would be or even apologise for the wait when we did get back home which is only a short drive the food was more or less cold and really greasy the chips was half done terrible service tonight I hope this improves as the food is alright but the service is just terrible which is a big downfall as sometimes that makes a big difference in a restaurant
