We ordered a curry from these people. They accepted the order, took payment and collection time. Then when we checked they had cancelled the order. 🤷♀️🤷♀️…it was half an hour or so from closing , but f that is the reason they should change their opening times. Plenty of others to choose from we won’t be bothering again.

fresh food, tasted lovely. But not sure of I'd have the nan bread again..very thin and considering we paid for extra cheese, there was hardly any on to begin with. However would use again, when they have offers/discounts. I wouldn't pay full price as the portion sizes are smaller than previous. (Maliks as was)

Ordered from here tonight food is well overpriced for quantity of meat you get in all 3 Curry's I had ordered they had more sauce than meat in them considering it was 10 pound a curry had a mixed starter not worth the 7 quid either for 2 pieces of chicken lamb, on the plus side it tasted better than I thought it was going to.

The delivery was quick, and everything was packaged securely, ensuring nothing spilled or got soggy. The customer service was excellent, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.

Hello I've been to this take away twice now and both times food has been very very good . The curry's are great fresh and light and you don't feel like you have swallowed a man hole cover . The starters are fresh even the salad not a plastic bag of warm mush the onion bhargi are superb . Everything we have had has been spot on . One little gripe :- the nan breads are only small but really nice . They are the old traditional nan bread that you used to have years ago ! One more gripe is the price but if you want good good you got to pay good money . Give this a try you wont be disappointed

There was no garlic on my garlic mushrooms, no garlic on my garlic naan, the pilau rice tasted of absolutely nothing only 4 peices of chicken in my curry, I no your offering 50% off but still expect full portions was only half full for thr curry, the poppadoms was the best part of the meal won't be using again sorry Just to add to this after ringing up, as was promised the same meal again for free after speaking to a male who claimed he was the manager, to find now the manager is a woman, they made a promise that they will not fulfill hopefully there food standards and customer service improves because my first and last order off them was nothing short of diabolical

Travelled 10 miles to collect as 50% off offer. Ordered a variety of curry’s but all were below par. Masala tasted like tomato soup with added spices and the butter chicken tasted like cheesy brocolli. That one went straight in the bin. Nan bread didn’t taste fresh. Rice was okay and chicken not too bad and all was very hot. Wouldn’t return - prefer a shop brought ready meal!

The Curry Leaf is Maliks under new management but I thought I would give it a try. I ordered the Amritsari Fish curry. It was a disappointment. This signature dish, described as a curry, was little more than an Indian version of a chinese sweet & sour dish. Perhaps this dish is true to its region but for a type 2 diabetic it was sugar hell - there was no mention of sweetness in the description. The garlic pilau rice was also disappointing - pilau rice with chunks of garlic thrown in and by the taste of it, had not been cooked together. I also ordered a mixed starter. It was 'ok' but nothing special. In summary, it falls far short of the promise of "mouthwatering food" and "culinary magic" An opening offer of 50% off online orders turned out to be less than 50% in reality - no idea why.

We ordered twice this week can not make my mind up 1st night open curry sauce was bit thinner, but I liked it , chicken ok But the garlic bread can’t make my mind up it was ok but felt where the garlic 2nd order Sauce had changed was thicker was ok but for some reason preferred the thinner but that was just preference Chicken felt tough and dry tonight didn’t eat it ,not really enjoyed it. Garlic bread ok but more garlic flavour this time , but still to look at it was like a plain naan bread Chips and rice all good So overall I’m not sure it was ok but coming back to pay full prices there better near us. But get these little things right and I come back so I watch the reviews to see if it gets better Oh guys I could be wrong but stop with the fake reviews you can spot it a mile of it’s very bad to do it. If I’m wrong I’m wrong but hmm don’t think so.

Ordered for the first time and won't be ordering again, how can Naan bread be chewy? Although paid for cheese garlic Naan it was plain, the sheekh kebabs were chewy and the lamb Tikka garlic chilli the meat would have cooked me if I'd have managed to bite into it! The curry sauce was nice though! The mint yogurt looked like radio active, Feel robbed even though we got 50% off, oh the popadoms were actually nicest thing we had, I'd prefer save my money next time!!!

Ordered for a collection as it was 50% off opening offer. Portion sizes seemed to reflect the price as they were very small. Think they'd been really busy too and ran out of garlic because the garlic naan was plain and the garlic mushrooms were just mushrooms. Curry was pretty tasteless and rice was standard. As I say, it was half price so can't complain too much. Won't be going again though

We always went to maliks years ago, so thought we would try it again and was looking forward to it. It was very disappointing, the portion sizes have halved in size. The tub was only half filled with curry with hardly any sauce. The curry actually tasted salty, The naan has changed it’s small and burnt. The chips are now fries soggy in a bag and only half full. I will not ordering again. A waste of nearly 40 pounds.

Absolute joke of a restaurant, not only did they get my order wrong by missing two items off it completely. They decided to ignore the phone for the entire night. I called up roughly 15 times and not once did they pick up. How this place is still running is actually hilarious. Food was terrible, tasteless naan bread, cold Bombay potatoes, fat and gristly lamb, no chips or poppadom's as ordered, and when I opened the bag it all just fell out onto my side, making an unnecessary mess. Worst takeaway I've ever had, hands down. And maybe you could tell your delivery driver to cheer up a little bit, miserable fart. I will be getting a refund for this awful experience and you will be reported.

Used to be fantastic and the best Indian around then took a huge nose dive in quality. Risked using it again and the meal actually came from a different restaurant,was late and disgusting. Tried a few months later and again food came from a different restaurant, tasted slightly better but over an hour late, Given a discount on next order so fried again, order again extremely late, cold, no cheese in cheese and garlic nann but more importantly round something unidentifiable in the butter chicken (but difinayely NOT chicken!) and never in my life have I had a vegetable korma consisting of 2 small pieces of potato, 1 peice of swede and 9 bussel sprouts.......never again and a quick call to the council in the new year. Such a shame for what was the best Indian around.

After the new owners took over , we decided to try again,( terrible food from the previous Maliks) We ordered just over a week ago and everything was so good. Ordered again tonight and it was appalling! The smallest portion of veg samosa ever! Onion bhajis, in contrast, were huge! Unfortunately , they were inedible, burnt on 1 side, raw on the other. The chana paneer masala had no sauce, was swimming in old oil and worryingly, was a nuclear bright red The mushroom rice was tasteless, swimming in old oil again, obviously tinned mushrooms, we could literally 'wring' the water out of them. My absolute favourite and 'go to dish', chicken madras, was dire. So hot, was more like a vindaloo! Swimming in ghee/old oil. 2 slices of bread pre eating did not absorb this. Chips were oily SO disappointed after our fabulous meal last week AVOID

Ordered a few times now... First order was in the first week, so took advantage of the discount and ordered loads... Couple of minor issues (Large chips weren't very large and the Madras was more of a Phaal spice, not consistent with the two chillies). Made the staff aware when ordering the second time, who very happy to hear feedback both good and bad... Order arrived shortly after and was perfect! I have since ordered again unbeknownst to the staff and both times it has been consistent with the second order, in some places even improved! The portion sizes are excellent and the quality of the food is too. And I appreciate the fact they'll listen and act when they've got it wrong, not many places care enough nowadays. Especially with how expensive takeaways have become!

Both curries we order seems to have a load of coriander in, along with it being in the rice too. It ruined the taste of all food unfortunately. We ordered Bombay potatoes but received less than a whole potato but chopped into about 2inch chunks, totalling 4.5 chunks in a runny tomato marinade sauce. Not what Bombay potatoes is in my head or on Google. The garlic bread was also average. Wouldn't go back honestly

We've been going to Maliks for years and was our favourite takeaway. The chicken tikka had so much coconut it was a stodgy paste, the chicken was dry and tastless and the Naan was burnt.

What I received this time was in small plastic containers and was cold. The portion size of the Bombay potatoes was pitiful. The balti sauce was watery. No popadoms or mango chutney sent. This place has gone right downhill. I didn’t enjoy the food at all. No wonder they are offering 25% off.

Food has fallen off a cliff since the takeover.

Ordered from here after a while, was really looking forward to it as food used to be amazing! What an absolute let down it was. Food was cold. Popadoms were burnt! After an hour of ordering, I called and it was like an amateur on the phone didn’t seem like they know that they were doing keeping me hanging on the line, the food eventually turned up and the driver went as quickly as he could! Never again!

What on earth has happened to this place. Ordered after a long time. Food used to be amazing! Ordered a butter chicken and a passanda with naan breads, sheek kebab and onion bhajis. Both naan breads were burnt and not very warm at all. The butter chicken was definitely NOT a butter chicken, full of coconut and bright red, was most likely mixed up with a tikka massala and swimming in oil, literally drained it out of the tub over the sink! Passanda wasn't enjoyable either. Didn’t bother to ring up to complain after seeing the reviews on here about the rudeness of staff when there are issues. Safe to say we wont be ordering again! Such a shame as it used to be lovely.

Good quality food, can't complain about that. However the service is awful. After picking up the food and going home we opened the bag up and found over half of the order to be missing even though they check off the items as they pack them up. We usually pass on making a big deal of it. But to be missing £20 pound of a £60 order is beyond me how that mistake can be made. So we called back about it and they offered to deliver the missing items. Which we were thankful for. But that was short lived as by the time we finished all the food they then phoned up saying they can't find the address. Could have been an honest mistake but it just seems like a complete lack of effort to me.

We won't be ordering from here again, very disappointing service. The food took 2 hours to arrive and once it did we were amazed to discover the food was cold, never ever received a cold curry before - never again!!

Honestly the delivery man was the best part and im sure staff are lovely. Forgot my redbull, offered one next time which was kind but wont be ordering there again. Ordered a burger and chips, genuinely cant explain more to you how horribly dry and rubbery the burger was, chips were cold and stodgy. Not just that, ordered a donut and was met with what tasted like a hard sponge soaked in sugar. Have never had a takeaway as expensive but horrible as that, seems like they make the food at the start of the week and use that🤢

Came here last Friday and was expecting the same service as last year however i was really disappointed with the service, the manager had earplugs in and seemed unbothered. Food was great it was just the service that really let me down.

We would like to think that we are curry connoisseurs 😜. Been to a lot of different restaurants. We moored up near the harecastle tunnel and decided to pop into kidsgrove for a curry. We were recommended Arena by a customer that was standing outside. We took a chance and it was a good decision. Karen was brilliant and the food was fantastic. The lamb was so tender, fresh cauliflower in the bhaji and the channawalla was so tasty. Would thoroughly recommend. Unfortunately we were early and the restaurant was empty so I can’t give a great review on the atmosphere.
