Very very good food. Hot. Tasty and full of flavour. Not greasy, but not too thick. The popadoms are not thin and the naan is beautifully baked. Happy.

Usually delicious, ordered many times from here, still recommend them but today the naan bread felt stale and one of my chicken pieces had a fatty bit. Again they are a tasty takeaway, will order again.

Usually wonderful and my go to Indian take away, but was disappointed this time. Both meats in my chicken and lamb dishes were very tough and there wasn’t much flavour to the jalfrezi as usual.

Hemos tenido muchas noches exitosas aquí para cenar a lo largo de los años. El personal es muy servicial y la comida siempre es sabrosa. El propietario se enorgullece de su garantía de que los platos están recién cocinados. Puedo testificar que esa afirmación se refleja plenamente en el sabor de los platos. A menudo pido platos “fuera del menú”, por ejemplo “panel de chile” y están felices de consentirme. Es un plato sabroso que recomiendo. . , está caliente pero no demasiado. Recomendaría el NB! ¡Nunca decepcionan!

We ordered butter chicken and chicken tikka masala as a takeaway and what was served was absolutely nothing like that, both were same curries with coconut in it one was orange and another red in texture and was very sweet, on contacting the restaurant i was told that chicken tikka masala is supposed to be sweet and it does contain coconut, Its absolutely disgusting and being an Indian I obviously know the recipe to both dishes . This is an absolute scam and fooling people around in the name of Indian authentic dishes. Very very disappointing because nothing comes for free and i think we deserve the authenticity for what we are paying. This restaurant should actually stop saying to people that butter chicken and chicken tikka masala contains COCONUT and is supposed to be SWEET

Tuve un parto y la comida estaba fría... pero también me dio un estómago muy malo. Me desperté a las 5 am estando enfermo y atado al baño durante horas. Sospecho, por lo duro que era el cordero, que fue reutilizado de un día anterior y terminé con una intoxicación alimentaria. Absolutamente s**t y nunca voy a volver a usarlos. Aconsejo a otros que eviten este restaurante y estoy informando a los estándares de alimentos para una reevaluación de sus calificaciones de salud.

El servicio para llevar es terrible. Pedido vía Deliveroo. Recibimos la orden equivocada. Llamé al restaurante y hablé con un miembro del personal que dijo que no era su culpa, que era de Deliveroo. Hablé con el gerente que no me dejó hablar. Él no tomaría ninguna responsabilidad en absoluto. Atención al cliente impactante. Luego me amenazó con acciones legales si dejo una mala crítica.

Decided to give Blue Orchid a go upon fancying a Thai. This is an expensive takeout so it’s rather a rare occasion we go for this cuisine. Unfortunately we felt it wasn’t the best Thai restaurant compared to the couple we have gone to in Bedford in the past. I felt the red curry I ordered, was rather bland with no creamy taste nor spice to it. It definitely did not taste like an authentic Thai curry. I also felt the meat within the curry wasn’t of good quality, almost like ready meal chicken and hardly much of it to speak of. The vegetables were also extremely hard and inedible so altogether felt like a wasted takeaway for the evening. On the positive side, we found the rice to be quite tasty. That was bursting with flavour! However, I believe the price we paid and what we received in return was not up to the standards we have come to expect with Bedford Thai restaurants.
