If you want to try the best Indian food, this is the place. I wasn’t fan about Indian kitchen until I came to this place a few years ago. Since we are every week here !! I think I am addicted 😁 service and atmosphere 5* Love it❤️

We bought to take out so I didn’t experience the atmosphere but the food was delicious - tasty, not too creamy/sickly or oily and with plenty of vegetables as well as meat. We’ll definitely be ordering again!

I can't refer to this place as Malancha as it remains forever in my memory as Omars. Last time here I had a very acceptable meal. But, mid week dinner several years later, with a different name on the door not so much. Pre booked a table for x3 at 19.00hrs and on arrival I can honestly say, I've had warmer welcomes from my dentists. Pre booked a table for three, mentioned that we had a reservation and the guy looked at us gone out. Bit like Katie Price in a library. Oh and as a fuller figured gentleman, some may say fat git (& they'd be right!) It'd be nice if they unlocked both the outside doors. So me and my mate sat at the table waiting for our colleague and eventually got offered a drink and poppadoms but we declined the latter until arrival of our friend who had driven from Birmingham to meet us. The cabaret consisted of one of the waiters picking his nose, then inspecting the fruits of his efforts and bashing on with serving the guests. Nice. We all agreed that the food was underwhelming. Cant be bothered to go into detail about the dishes we were served, perfectly edible but yeah, non of us had our taste buds entertained. Couldn't be arsed to have the conversation with them as I suspect any attempt to improve would've been fruitless. Look , try for yourselves, you may have a completely satisfactory meal, I hope you do so please - give it a whirl I was hopeful the son of Omars would be up to par but sadly my search for a good Indian restaurant in the Rugby area, like Lord Sugar looking for his next apprentice, continues.

Booked online. Google showed as opens at 5pm. Website shows as restaurant is open at 5pm. Stood outside in the rain at 5pm and knocked on the door, nobody in the place, lights off, closed sign on door. Had email and text confirmation of 5pm booking. Shame, as I liked this restaurant. Went to Dun Cow instead and later looked across and saw open sign - need to open when you say you are open! Won’t be going back in a hurry

Food was very nice. Unfortunately this was ruined by the manager trying to scam us. He tried to say that the £15 meal deal didn't apply to the whole table as one person on our table of four didn't want the meal deal. He then pulled out a leaflet and kept repeating it's in the T&C's which weren't listed on the leaflet or sign. We even asked to see these T&C's and he had no answer to this, and also strangely enough he took our order and conveniently left out these imaginary T&C's. I even tried to find these T&C's on the website and still haven't found them. Scammers, we had to have a full on argument with the staff to get them to understand that they cannot reference T&C's that don't exist! Awful experience and very uncomfortable.

We thought we would try here for a change as we normally eat over the road. The poppadoms were lovely but then we were served someone elses food which was quickly wiped away from under our noses. Our food arrived shortly after but there wasn't much meat in the dishes and my prawns were of a funny texture. The waiter was too quick to take away our plates when we hadn't even finished the mere morsels we had been given.We were absolutely go smacked at the price for so little food. This place is an absolute rip off! Don't even waste your money trying it, go over the road to The Cinnamon Lounge as the food is nicer and at a fraction of the price.

I went here with a group of 14 friends and the service was really good. You could tell the food was good as there was a constant buzz of takeaway collections. The poppadoms we received were crispy & hot, with a tasty tray of Chutney and onion salad. The table was well attended with service and the Madras I had was tasty with a fluffy naan and rice. Overall the food was flavoursome and arrived hot.

Been here multiple times over the past year or two. It’s a bit hit and miss. Sometimes the staff can be great, friendly and relaxed. Other times it feels like a hustle, try to upsell you more than you want etc. Visited last night - a big noisy party were in the back room. Service was slow and we waited 15mins to just order drinks. Food is generally good but as an earlier writer mentioned, you can order several different dishes and they all look and taste similar. Last nights chicken madras was mostly sauce with little chicken. Others had Baltis which were good. Naan and rice were fine. It used to be our go-to in Rugby, but the consistency is missing - you can get a wonderful meal or something quite average… it’s a pity…

It's become our family tradition to go to Malancha for a curry on new years eve,have done for a few years now. Usually a good experience not this time ! Booking was lost, squeezed on a table amongst everyone else although not fully booked in there at all, eventually took our food order for main courses ages after eating starters, as the waiter was taking out order was too busy looking in the mirror to watch the restaurant main door we might as well have been invisible!! The food was ok not as good as it usually is . Wasn't a good experience came away feeling very disappointed and wasn't made to feel welcome at all , was like they didn't want us there was a big chore !! So off our list from now on.

Below average food and the fish/meat were all over cooked. Expensive for what was served. The fish sizzlers were almost £15 with 4 small pieces of over cooked fish. The waiter assumed you know his language and started speaking to us and we had to correct him to use English! Soda water had 0 fizz. Gin was served in a wrong glass. Should have understood when the restaurant was empty when we walked in.. Ambience of the place was okay. Definitely won't be visiting again as it's totally not worth it. Thanks.

I’ve frequented this restaurant since Omar originally owned and operated it for many years. The menu does not reflect the food! You can order three different chicken dishes and they look and taste the same but vary in price. The collection of chef’s special dishes are over priced variants. Yes, the ambience is nice but the food is so far off being authentic Indian or Bengali. So much sugar and red colouring in the food. Dunchurch is an upmarket village but the menu is overpriced as are the beers. Finally, there’s no Omar, he was the life and sole of the restaurant: always greeted is customers warmly and with respect.

Decided to try here , really wished we hadn't. First impressions, no table cloths, table sticky, and paper napkins. Poppadoms and chutneys were nice. Had to chase our main course, az we appeared to have been forgotten. Mushrooms were tinned, jalfrezi consisted of whole uncooked chillies, uncooked onion, and crunchy peppers, no sauce or flavour whatsoever. Chicken madras not edible. Rice didn't appear, when it did, wished it hadn't. Tinned mushrooms in it, and looked/tasted like microwave bag. NO food warmer. Naan bread flat and cut into quarters. I can honestly say this was the worst curry we have ever been served. Went to pay, after leaving the table with the food still on it, explained problems, staff couldn't care less. £50.95 later, we had 4 poppadoms, a pint and half a glass of non fizzy diet coke. ABSOLUTE RUBBISH, will never return. It was worth £10 Maximum. If only we had stuck to original plans, Long Buckby Village Spice...

Great customer service Had a call to apologise and a replacement meal today and was absolutely perfect will definitely recommended just how it should be, fresh, hot and taste so good will definitely go back again 😋

Regularly use Malancha and it's always fantastic. Mostly we order the takeaway which, be aware, usually has around an hours wait. So last week I ordered at 11.30am just so I could pick up on the way home from work at 5.30pm. 1st in the queue! Friendly staff and as always fantastic food. Excellence is worth the wait. The other great thing is the variety on the menu. Yes the favourites are on so Korma etc but I love the different meals you don't see elsewhere which are full of flavour. Try the Chicken Tikka Rothon Masala or the Chicken Badami both great but not spicy. They also give a discount if you order online over £35 using the Bookyup link. Worth a visit if you are anywhere near Dunchurch. Rick

The smell coming from the kitchen as we walked past promised a lot, but the very average food, with little to no discernible flavour did not deliver. Saag Paneer was bitter and overcooked. My main course lacked flavour and again, peppers were bitter, chicken didn’t taste of anything. My wife’s lamb was at least tender but again, didn’t really taste of much. Service was very good though, no complaints there. Maybe having an off night as we went on the strength of reviews here. However wont be going back.

Sundries from popadums to saag aloo we’re excellent. Samir advised and service was quick but not too fast. This is my first review of anywhere as I could not let the success of the evening pass without thanking Malancha. We have had takeaways from here since and the sizzling chicken tikka and lamb Karachi (we only had these dishes) were to the same standard as before. Friendly and tasty and reasonably priced.

Terrible service. Took 2 hours for our main courses to arrive. They only brought out half the groups food and took 30 mins for the other half of the group. 2 of us were sat 20 minutes with our curry but no rice another guy was just given a bowl of rice and no curry. When I asked staff if my rice was on its way he just said ' it's coming', shoved an empty plate in front of me and walked off! It clearly wasn't coming though as I had to wait another 15 minutes for it! They charge a top end prices and the food when it did arrive was fine, but the service was a shambles and staff rude. When we complained they only took £30 off our £450 bill which didn't even cover the poppadoms. Have never left a bad review anywhere before but this customer service was ridiculous!

I think they forgot our booking, tried to wing it and gave us bad attitude. I never write reviews but this deserved one! Booked to come here with friends and gave 3 weeks notice. We booked the lamb and chicken for 2 that needs to be marinated for over 24 hrs. Both at roughly £70 per dish and paid a £50 deposit and we requested a specific table. We arrive and seated at the table we didn't ask for. There are no sides that come with the dishes so we all ordered rice naan etc. We were then told the lamb for 2 was not available they only had a lamb for 4 at £109 (didn't tell us price increase) Took nearly 2 hours to arrive. Waiter was getting agro with us because we asked a couple of times how long. Not unreasonable in my opinion. Rice was brought out nearly ten mins before main which had been under the heat lamp for so long it had a crust on top. Naan breads were fresh and sides. Lamb was brought out in the roasting tin it was cooked in dumped on the table and then the put a chefs green handled carving knife with it for us to carve! Not enough room on table for sides let alone a leg of lamb. Then came the very expensive small chicken. Probably started out the size of a turkey but the length of time it was cooked is ended up very small again we had to carve ourselves. Dry as a bone. We had to ask for masala sauce to be able to eat it. When challenged about the chicken and its cost the waiter came back and said. Sorry this should have been 2 chickens (could have got them spiced and cooked for less than a tenner) Bill was £300 (Only 6 pints drunk). I would have disputed the bill but the friends we were with are kinder and didnt want a fuss!

A return visit that did not disappoint. Samin was wonderful as always when serving us and remembering just how we like things. We were also asked if all OK whilst we ate to ensure we were happy with everything. Lovely place to have date night,..booked...

Friendly welcome, nice atmosphere and attentive staff. Samin was particularly helpful and chatty. Choice of dishes was good and the South Indian Chilli Chicken I had was fantastic, as was the peshwari naan. Can’t fault the place and certainly lived up to the reviews I’d...

Really nice people and good service. Samin who served us was great. Curries were delicious! Only got two prawns in our prawn starters which was disappointing but apart from that really good food and good value

Fantastic food, really flavoursome, good service despite it being a busy night. Our waiter, Samin, was brilliant. Only downside was it was very noisy, but it is Christmas party season and it was a Friday. Definitely recommend!

Samin and khaleb are always amazing when we visit Malancha in Dunchurch. Always smart and friendly. Especially Samin’s hair which is immaculate. The food is incredible and the service is always friendly and with a smile 😊

Met here with family after a recommendation and we had a really good experience. The food was quality and the keema naan was exceptionally good. The service was polite and attentive and the staff made us feel welcome.

We ordered take away for collection. Half the order was like warm. The lamb was tough and fatty. Sag paneer was dry. The cheese nan was awful. Our first and last visit to this place. Unfortunately, the worst Indian food I've had.
