We had a late night meal here recently and to be honest chose this place as it was convenient… the food was great, and really hit the spot after a long day. We were made to feel welcome by a succession of waiting staff who checked in on us several times. The decor is busy - too busy - also crammed and confused. However, Mr Ali’s was a hit with us due to the food.

Used this restaurant several times now, and also had a few deliveries from them. I can honestly say that this seems to be the very best in Stockport for a truly delicious curry. Excellent quality and friendly staff.

Great meal This place was just a stones throw from my hotel, so I took a slow walk up to find this little gem. On a Monday night, the place was quite, but the service was very good. The food was well presented and of a high standard. I chose the staff curry and was not disappointed. Full of flavour and very well put together. The portion was huge! Total value for money and a great find. Sadly, I wont be going back as there is zero chance I will be in the area again. 100% my loss!! Full marks to these guys and thank you for an excellent meal

This is a great restaurant held back by an awkward location. The food is excellent, the staff are friendly and helpful, the interior decor good (although bear with some improvements being made at the rear of the restaurant, particularly for the toilets as of August 2022). Because the restaurant is on the main A6 near a busy junction, it looks difficult to park, but there is always free on-street parking just round the corner in Bullock Street. One point in particular, the allergy information on the menu is very clear and comprehensive. As a Coeliac, this is particularly important to me. Onion bhajis are supposed to be made with gram (chickpea) flour, which is gluten free but so many indian restaurants take the lazy way out and use ordinary flour. As I love onion bhajis, I am delighted that Mr Ali's makes them the proper way.

Visited here with some friends for the Sunday buffet. Mr Ali’s has always been a firm favourite of ours over the years however I am terribly sad to say I will not be returning. I am so disappointed as what was once a highly rated curry house with exceptional food has declined so drastically. The food was okay not as good as usual but better than some other places, the reason for us not returning is due to the santitary conditions. Firstly I required a high chair, to find it was filthy covered in food, I didn’t think too much and thought it was an honest mistake so cleaned it myself before my child used it. I then went to use the bathroom facilities, I arrived to a stale stench of urine, sticky floor and one of the toilets was blocked. No customer should have to use facilities in these conditions let alone somewhere where you dine. I’m sorry but this has put me off returning after so many visits and takeaways over the years.

I would only recommend going for the Sunday buffet, as you can get your moneys-worth from that, at least. But our meal off the main menu was very poor, and very expensive. £42 altogether for 4 pints of Kobra, 4 poppadoms + dips, mushroom jalfrezi, a tarka daal, and a sag aloo with rice and chips. And considering it was all vegetarian £42 is outrageous.The jalfrezi consisted of mostly stringy onions, tomatoes, chilies and tinned mushrooms and was overcooked and bone-dry. And the tarka daal contained no tarka; essentially it was just a lentil soup. The staff were all perfectly nice, but there's not a lot they can do if a meal is unsatisfactory. We won't be returning.

I have visited this restaurant about 3 times now with my husband and recently went with some friends, another couple. The restaurant was very busy with only one spare table, which was the one I had booked. There were a couple of big parties in and while we were there birthday cakes were brought out for 4 different parties. We had poppadoms to start with which came with a tray of chutneys. Unfortunately the poppadoms were soft, which would be my only criticism. We should have complained but instead we just ate them. The food itself was very very good. The portion sizes are just right, ensuring we didn’t have to take a doggy bag. The service was good and staff were polite and friendly. It is very reasonably priced and at the moment it is our favourite Indian restaurant in Stockport.

We recently visited mr alis on the a6 in stockport, we had been recommended this place by a friend, so we booked in as a party of eleven, on arrival we were greeted and quickly seated, we opted for the 3 course all you can eat buffet, it was £9.99 for adults and £5.50 for kids, they also had vegetarian options included in this buffet,so out cam course number one two popadoms each and a selection of five dips, very nice they were too, next came a plate of mixed starters each, very tasty and even the kids loved these, then on to mains you helped yourself to these, you basically have a plate and add what you want, rice and a choice of six curries including vegie option curries and also nan bread, all were delightful, i tried all the curries including the veggi which i have never had before, all were lovely, in the meat options the meats were really good, unlike many others i have had, very, very tasty, after we had all eaten our weight in food, the staff, the brought us all an after eight mint, a shot glass of bailys and a mint imperial, which was a lovely finishing touch, the kids got fruit shoots,on our exit the staff offered out lolly pops and said farewell, great customer service, they had a fully liecenced bar too, the cobra on draft was awesome, it tasted better than the bottled version, one of our guests does not like curry, so had scampi and chips, she has this a lot and commented on how good it was. i would definatly say go to mr alis, if i had one problem, well not problem but an improvement that could be made it would be to replace the chairs, they were worn and when you sat down you could feel the wooden frame of the chair, it was a minor thing but i marked down a point for this as most of the family did say the same other than the chairs it was perfect.

Ok so not very often I rate places with a 5 which shows you how good this place is. I visited 2 weeks ago with my 2 children aged 5 & 8 as hubby was out at the cricket! The kids were very adventurous in what they tried and as it was a buffet it was ideal so they could try lots of different bits! You are made to feel welcome from the minute you walk in and the staff are very helpful at all points. If anything runs out they are very quick to replenish it too. We loved it that much we returned tonight as a family with daddy to show how much kids were trying different things! Very reasonable and excellent service, fantastic food! Left feeling very full.

We have noticed cost cutting, cotton napkins now paper, the liquor after the meal is vile and the kids now get a fruit shoot (ugh) and the oranges are dry and half the size.

We are obviously a little biased about this restaurant but I wanted to reiterate how special this restaurant is. We have been going for so many years now and we really do feel like we are calling round to a family member. We told it was for a special occasion and they made it so. After taking our booth (should be for four or six) they allowed is spread out and enjoy their utterly outrageously sumptuous food. As a special touch they even gave my wife a bottle of prosecco to enjoy at home as we were already enjoying a bottle of rose as a way of celebrating. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anybody for any situation as the can cater for anything. The food is as described, the seating comfortable and a really great touch is they don't want to throw you out as soon as you have finished. Go, go, go. Please go.

Have been going to Mr Ali's for years but got to visit again during a recent trip home from Perth WA. This was one of the highlights of my trip as I had been craving a decent curry for two years. Staff remembered me, nice table and a cold pint of Cobra to kick off. There are so many options to choose from but went with an old favourite Kufta. These are delicious little lamb meatballs in a curry sauce which is normally mild but I asked for a little more spice. Meal was excellent as are many other dishes I've had from there in the past. Special Mix Biryani and the Tandoori Mixed Grill are also personal favourites. Wish I could have squeezed another visit in. Staff are fantastic always overly helpful. Always busy, best curry house in Stockport without a shadow of a doubt.

Rolled up without reservations on a busy Saturday night as a group of four. No problem, found us a nice table in seconds and although there was a massive table being waited on as we had arrived we were immediately met with a drinks order opportunity and four menus. Two Cobra , a pint of Guinness and a spirit for one were duly dispatched and the food order was soon taken very quickly.Mixed starters for four arrived very quickly and were lovely. Mains were equally tasty and just enough heat for each persons request. We left full, happy and very impressed with the staff,the food and the price. Definitely will be back very soon.

Turned up with a party of 14 on a last minute after work gathering and were easily accommodated and looked after by the team here. The food was excellent and and it was quite busy for early doors. The prices are also reasonable and I would recommend a visit to this Indian, if you are a fan of spicy food and Indian cuisine in general.

20% discount for takeaway orders, and the food is always of a good standardwe have a daughter who has a peanut allergy, and sometimes Indian food has 'hidden' peanut powder in, but not on Mr Ali's watch!Food is always fresh, and a good value takeaway with the discount

There are many places in Stockport, Cheshire and the north west, yet mr Ali's tandoori is still improving their ambience, service and more importantly their food. The service is impeccable and their settings are peaceful, it is the food which makes this restaurant stand out. Beautiful, tasty and overall brilliant price. If you deserve a treat, make it mr ali's if you are celebrating something special, make it mr Ali's. You will not be disappointed and you will return many times over.

We took a party of 12 to Mr Ali's on a Saturday night, and the whole evening was amazing.There were actually a couple of large groups in who all had a great time, and it didn't feel rushed at all.The service is superb, they made my 8yo daughter feel really special and the centre of attention, and nothing was too much trouble.The food was as good as it always is.I've been coming to this place of over 20 years now, and the kids always ask for this as a place to meet with family.

We ate after watching a film as it was near our hotel. Excellent food, lots of dips with the poppadums, and I had a mixed starter with a hot Naga chicken dish. My wife had paneer and tarka Dhal and we shared a rice. The flavours were great and it wasnt at all greasy. I love it when curry seems the healthy choice. Excellent food.

Outstanding- it's been six years since I last visited this restaurant. Why wait in a traffic when you can relax and enjoy fine Indian food :)Great service, unbelievable food - I had the Chicken Shashlick... superb!Attentive staff - nothing is too much trouble. A little dated now and perhaps ready for some cosmetic improvements but don't let that put you off.

We decided on a change for Xmas & spoke to another couple who suggested a curry (certainly something we hadn't done before).My friend took care of all the booking arrangements which saved a bit of a headache for me although I can't really comment on the deposit requirements as a result.The serving times are set for Xmas with a choice of 2 or 5 on this occasion with us going for the latter.Upon arrival it was fair to say it was pretty busy although we were directed to our table with no wait at all. The same couldn't be said for another group we knew who seemed to have been double booked. It's fair to say though that the amount they had consumed in alcohol prior to arrival calmed them down somewhat about this.We were served with drinks within reasonable time & a huge round of poppadoms with a generous Chutney Tray arrived fairly quickly.Starters were again served within reasonable time & the menu was fairly generous with the standard options available as opposed to the usual set menu. I opted for a mixed style starter which was tasty enough.For mains I went for the Madras which certainly had the expected kick to it. This was the same choice as my friend with the ladies deciding on a milder choice with the child of the group choosing a Tikka Massala.These were all served with a mixture of rices & Naan breads which were all good quality.It is worth noting that a Xmas dinner option is also available although I think there is an extra supplement for this.At a cost of £35 per head I wouldn't want to be paying any more although you have to remember this is pretty good value for a Xmas day meal (compared to the extortionate prices some local establishments were charging). This included a dessert although my choice of Cheesecake had sold out.Overall my experience of Mr Ali's will probably be kept to a curry with the lads or family as I think the experience was a bit dissapointing for me versus previous times I have visited. Probably safe to say I will be keeping a curry off the Xmas plans for future although this is nothing against Mr Ali's who I have always found friendly & accommodating. I have heard through friends that the experience on New years Eve was a little bit more hectic with a long waiting time to be served meals so maybe book with caution over the seasonal holidays & keep this place in mind for a top quality Curry at weekends.

Been our local go to curry restaurant for a few years now. Also one of only a few Indian restaurants which can cater for my partners garlic allergy, as they cook the food fresh.

Enjoyed the curry and the Cobra. Good value and reasonable size. Staff friendly. Thanks for the free Baileys..it was way to sweet for us and the offer of a lollipop at the door was quaint but unnecessary. If you are looking for a good curry in Stockport then Mr Ali would be a good choice

We visited this restaurant for a family get together of 22 of us for my 30th birthday. Even though they were busy they let someone in early to decorate the table, and were very accommodating when a few people ended up running late, keeping our drinks topped up and pushing back the order for us. The food, drinks and service were all beyond fantastic and the staff were so friendly with us all. They brought a cake out for me which I wasn't expecting, dimming the lights and playing music and gave me a cocktail on the house for my birthday with a little candle attached. When we were all finished my partner and I were astonished at how low the bill was for everything we had received. The owner also surprised me with a large bottle of bubbly on the way out! Everyone really went out of the way to make our evening special and enjoyable, and my family and I will be returning regularly because of it. Couldn't recommend this restaurant enough!

We went for an early tea with a group of 8 adults and one baby. The staff were wonderful, and the food was delicious—I especially loved the Bombay chicken; it's my new favourite! Everyone who hadn’t been there before agreed it was the best Indian food they’d had in a long time.

We were seated quite quickly even thought it was busy in the restaurant and we were late due to traffic. Drinks order was wrong. One drink came with a fly in it which as rectified albeit it was slow. Starters were generally ok but the chutneys were small in portion. The naan and roti was very small considering £3.50 for one. The butter chicken sauce and paneer curry was too sweet. A waitress took our extra order of naan which she said I’ll put through the system but she didn’t. So when a new main came we didn’t have any sides to accompany it we had to wait until it got made again which made our curry cold. Overall, won’t be coming back here again.
