No1 masala Indian restaurant & takeaway in Wirral

We ordered our curry for delivery at 19.07. At 20.30 it still hadn’t arrived so we started calling for an eta. The phone was constantly engaged, so we drove to the shop. When I asked for an update on our order I was told that the order would take 170 minutes from the time we ordered despite requesting delivery as soon as possible’. I suggested that I take our order to save them the job only to be told that they hadn’t even started cooking it! It’s the longest most shambolic restaurant I’ve ever come across! Fortunately, the restaurant two doors down saved the day all in 30 minutes!!!

ordered takeaway, wait was about 15 mins until collection. food was hot and tasted lovely, plenty of choice. there are tables there and you can stay and eat in the restaurant. bring your own booze is also allowed.

The naan kebabs are outstanding. Lots of meat and flavour, food delivered hot! Highly recommend ⭐️

Best kebab!!!! ive ever have In my life! Amazing donner meat! All the mixed grills meats. 2 onions bhajis salad! All wrapped up in a Naan. What else do you need to know!

Great experience quality food and service 5* pleasant staff good location with free parking outside the restaurant BYO

Whilst food was lovely , we waited over2 hours from the time of ordering which had said 50 miniutes. Upon calling was told its was on the way and was still another 40 minutes. Never had such issues before, plus not expected for a Monday night .food arrived too late to enjoy it .

We ordered a takeaway for the first time from No1 Masala and it won’t be our last! The food was delivered in 50 minutes and one of the best Indians I’ve ever had - 10/10 and will definitely use again 👍🏻

Waited two hours for my food when the app said it would take 35 minutes. Fine with waiting as it is a Friday night however when the food came it tasted and looked like it had been sat there for some time. Ordered cheesy chips and only had a few grains of cheese on the chips?

The food is always amazing don't get me wrong. Admittedly it would be more amazing If it was hot and not soggy sweaty. But I suppose when it takes 2 hours to deliver everytime we have ordered then that is the result. This is my last time ordering here because 2hours is too long to wait.

We were amazed by the food. Absolutely delicious. Would 100% recommend. Very good value for money. Staff very nice and friendly.

Absolutely disgusted at the size of the portions ordered 2 large chips both where less than half full ordered 2 large Donna an chips and got 2 small ones that where not even full the chips where half cooked not happy at all won't be ordering from here again when I rang up to complain the man who answered wasn't abit bothered or interested at all taken in to mind our order was well over £70 extremely disappointed

Great curry , great service, bring own booze 👏

Celebrated my 62nd birthday with family at No 1 Masala. As a regular takeaway user here, I thought I'd try the restaurant side. It was quite a long wait, which was attributable to how busy the takeaway was, but the food was as delicious as ever, and I would use again. Hopefully the service will be quicker next time!

First time visit as we were staying in Port Sunlight nearby. We chose to eat here as trip advisor reviews were generally good. Food was excellent, and staff were attentive. The only thing that let our visit down was the long wait for our meal, it seemed that takeaway orders had priority over customers sitting down in the restaurant, hence the 4 star review. It was a shame as the food was delicious,

Lovely service and friendly and helpful staff Food was of a very high standard and well presented to the table. Well priced and we thought good value for money. Only a small restaurant but nice atmosphere. Highly recommended

Had a fabulous meal here Saturday Evening ..Beautiful food ..Spotless inside ..Staff were so friendly . Definitely will be back

Easily Best curry house on the Wirral! Great prices and really fresh food! Also you can bring your own drink at no extra cost!

Third visit and certainly not the last! It was such a relaxed meal with amazing food.

Third visit and certainly not the last! The food is amazing and, the portion sizes are good. Everything is prepared fresh and, the staff are friendly. There is a relaxed atmosphere and, we’ve never felt rushed. Highly recommended

We went after it was recommended to us by a family member. The food and service were both excellent, our waiter was very friendly and attentive. We didn’t know it was byob, so decided with the money saved there we would try the deserts, so glad we did. We will definitely be back and 100% recommend to anyone. There are only a few tables so probably best to book.

This place is amazing. You might drive past and think it's only a takeaway, There are only a few tables, so it's wise to call and book a table. It's byob, they provide the glasses, and the service is as good as any local restaurant. The food is excellent, it's modern indian, lighter and more varied than the usual "formula" Indian restaurants. I've been several times with a number of different friends; everyone has been amazed by the food and the service, and no-one has ever been disappointed. Best Indian food I've found in the Wirral, and great value for your money.

Been going to no1 masala for over a year now, but never left a review. Tonight was the icing on the cake for me. Ordered my usual ‘Monster Kebab’ but this time I put a special request in to put a masala sauce in it. Which they did and it honestly was the best kebab I’ve ever had!!! Superb lads please add curry sauce to the sauce options.

Wow food is amazing from here had a massive selection delivered to Bebington this evening and will definitely be ordering again Loved it

Ordered a set meal. Absolutely deliciously perfect.

Excellent service, beautiful tasty food. Definitely did not disappoint. The best prawns from an Indian I've ever had.

Been wanting to try for ages and I am disappointed, ordered online and was told it would be an hour, after 1 hour 20 minutes my girlfriend called up and asked where it was, and was told it was 10 minutes away. 50 minutes later we called again to ask and were told it was right in front of him getting sent out. I waited 15 minutes before driving over myself to complain and watched the driver leave with my food 2 minutes after I arrived, at which point they tried to tell me he left before i got there and tried to tell me they were busy. Despite the fact that I mentioned they told us that our food would be ready in 10 minutes 1 and a half hours ago, when it was already 20 minute late. Unfortunately due to this experience I will not be returning.

Would never order again from this Indian twice we have ordered food and twice waited over 2 hours never again

1st time won't be the last loved it.

A lovely experience. Staff were very attentive. We chose food off the set menu and it was excellent value for money. Highly recommend. Bonus was that it isn't licensed and we took our own drinks.

Honestly….The best Indian food I have had for a while, service perfect, and a really lovely intimate restaurant, beautifully decorated…Will 100% be going again. 🤗

Beautiful food once again, I always return to this restaurant when I am in the area; and I'm never disappointed. The service is impeccable, accomodating staff; service with a smile and food like it's meant to taste and look. Highly recommend, once tasted....it's never forgotten. Compliments to the chef, kitchen staff and waiter staff.

Ordered last night, food was OK but waited 2.5hrs. Called several times to be told “will be with you in 15 mins” won’t be using again.

Thought we would give it a try after it was recommended, ordered two meals and after 2hrs and 15mins later it arrived with apologies, wouldn't want to order again. I like a hot tasting curry and ordered a Korai, more like a korma, I've had a hotter ice cream. Sorry to say but wasn't impressed at all.

Ordered food at 1852 called again at 8.15 sdvised it was on it's way called again at 8.45 advised the driver had left it eventually arrived at 9.00pm. The order wasn't complete, minus a veg curry for the biriyani. Called them back at 9.05 and said they would send one straight away, at 10.05pm its still not arrived. Shocking service and poor food,

Lovely tasty food and great atmosphere.

Just ordered a takeaway, absolutely fantastic, really tasty

Great place, food was lovely and very reasonably priced. Can thoroughly recommend the aloo chat for starters and the chicken sag balti, which I had

Ordered for the first time. Food took a while to arrive but did not disappoint! Mixed starter for 2 was amazing, then butter chicken, special jaipur, and chicken tikka bonani. All amazing food and would definitely order again!

Takeaway service horrendous. Food ordered on line , arrived over an hour late . 2 phone calls to the restaurant , staff were less than helpful . Sad 😔 nice food , terrible service.

Whilst staying at the village hotel we came across No1 Massala, we rang to book a table on a Saturday and was surprised to get a table at such late booking on a Saturday evening, we ended up being the only couple in there although there was plenty of takeout going out the door, we opted for the fixed 2 course after a discussion with the owner/chef, the food was unbelievable, the best Indian I have had so far, 👍 every part of it was cooked to perfection, many thanks to Woody (chef) and his brother, we will certainly be stopping by next time we are in the area

My son told me this was the best Indian take away on the Wirral. This was at a time when you could not eat in a restaurant due to Covid. We haven’t used any other Indian since. They have now reopened the dining in area so we will be booking at table very soon. I can’t recommend this place strongly enough

First visit to No 1 Masala - excellent service from Jay. The food cooked to perfection by Woody, who checked how spicy / hot we wanted our food. Reasonably priced food of great quality. Will definitely visit again.

Best locally. Delicious but really need to get a handle on delivery time, two hours is unacceptable

Horrendous. Ordered at 7pm rang them twice to chase up the order by 8.45pm...still no delivery. I rang them again and said cancel the order. Do not use these guys for delivery

We ordered online and had the food delivered. It was amazing, the food was nice and hot, tasted amazing and delivered on time. We can highly recommend x

Excellent food. Quality ingredients. Generous portions. Amazing value. Worth seeking out. On a par with EastzEast. Best on Wirral we have tasted.

Amazing food coconut rice the best ever.

What great service! The food was great, & the atmosphere was lovely. We will definitely be back. Thanks.

Amazing food and lovely service. Thank you

Despite just living 5 minutes away we've never visited, now I'm wondering why Booked a table over the phone for the next evening Small restaurant with friendly front of desk waiting staff Everything was clean and bright Service excellent Food very good indeed Very reasonable price We'll definitely be back

1st time visit but we'll be back The food was so fresh we could taste every spice, staff were friendly and attentive

Great takeaway, just as good as East is East In Liverpool! We got a variety of dishes and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

The worst service ever experienced. Waited two hours for our food. Was told one hour then zero apology from staff, in fact, they were rude. I was visiting family who recommended this place. We have children needing to go to bed. Such poor service. Would never recommend this.

Waited for over 2 hours! I thought after reading all the good reviews, it would be great, but it was mediocre! Chicken was over cooked! Starters were cold ! Never again.

Foods great. Order and you’re waiting over 2 hours! You phone and they say the same thing constantly, “will be 15”, “we’re busy”, “it’s on its way”… foods good but not that good to wait over 2 hours!

Had our first meal from here via delivery this evening. Absolutely delicious, really good. Best Indian I've had for years. Excellent choices of meals and great prices too. Will definitely be ordering again and must visit the restaurant.

I was over from Spain visiting family and we got a take away. We are vegan and vegetarians in my family. My daughter also has lacto intolerance so I was worried that the restaurant may use butter when cooking. We have eaten at many Indians...

We went for a meal for the first time and what can I say.... Fantastic tasting food. The biriyani had so much flavor and the vegetable korai was amazing, so many spices coming through. A big thank you for going out of your way to make vegan bhaji's and samosas along with vegan Naan bread. It was very much appreciated and we are looking forward to coming back. You're awards are richly deserved.

Fantastic meal and service. Staff very friendly and attentive. Our 2nd visit here in a month and both times food has been fresh, piping hot & full of fantastic flavours. Chef even come over to check after we had finished that everything matched our request...

Well I left a gleaming review about this place that I have now taken down! Been here many times and the food is awesome but recently the service is poor. They are too busy answering the phone and prioritising take away clients and ignoring the...

We went last night and couldn't fault it at all. Staff were attentive, all the food we ordered was hot, tasty and presented nicely. We definitely will be visiting again

Just had a fantastic meal. The best local Indian restaurant by far. Jay was very welcoming, decor is good.Bring your own booze,will definitely be back.

Very tasty takeaway which was freshly cooked. Very helpful staff who provided paper plates and wooden forks as we were staying locally in the Travelodge

One of the nicest indians ive had. Beautiful atmosphere inside the restaurant. Food was AMAZING can tell everything is fresh and cooked with care. I want to pay special attention to the chicken which was cooked PERFECTLY but everything we ordered was amazing. The front of house was very polite and helpful with a warm welcome, and we even got to spoke to the head chef who i could tell was proud and passionate about his work. Cannot fault this restaurant and if you are looking for a good indian restaurant, you Cannot go wrong with No1 masala. I WILL definitely be coming again!

Absolutely perfect. Food was fresh and clearly cooked with care, with incredible flavour. Beautiful atmosphere and décor and incredibly polite and attentive staff. 10/10 would recommend 👏

We were staying for a week at The Village hotel, this is an easy 10 minute walk. It was so good we went twice! It’s clearly mainly take away, but the inside is very clean and tidy to sit in and eat. The chef who...

I have ordered a take away from here tonight and it's one of the best 8 have eaten. Presented well. Really fresh and reasonably priced. The guy behind the counter was really friendly aswell. Will be visiting again

Ordered a takeaway last night chicken tikka dansak and pilau rice and and wasn’t disappointed staff very friendly and the restaurant was spotless will definitely be ordering from here again well worth a try.

This place is mainly known as a takeaway, so it was a surprise to find that it's also a very good restaurant. The food is excellent; very different from the usual indian formula, lighter and with an emphasis on flavour rather than just heat. The...

We visited the Masala late Thursday evening after a busy day.The staff are polite and attentive .First time here so we went for the set menu for 2.WOW! wasn’t expecting that.The food ranks amongst the best Indian food I’ve eaten in my life and I’m...

We dined at this place last week and I can tell you it’s the best place in the Wirral by far! You can bring your own alcohol from the convenience store next door. I had the chicken bonani and it was delicious, the naan was soft and fluffy!! I would definitely recommend!!

The No1 Masala was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious and, cooked perfectly. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and, Jay was a very friendly server. Prices were competitive and, the decor is very relaxing. We had a really enjoyable evening and, will definitely be returning...

Beautiful little restaurant with great service and delicious food.

We arrived early to this restaurant/takeaway, myself, son & 4 children who love Indian food. We had to wait awhile for someone to take our order, we ordered poppadoms & dips, 6 starters, 4 main meals with rice's, chips & nann breads. We had to wait over an hour for our starters to come, we were ready to leave until they said our starters were coming out. The takeaway side was busy with deliveries going out & people coming in for their orders. Eventually our main meals came, myself & children had gone past it. The food was hot, we did ask for a madras sauce but it wasn't madras hot. The card machine still isn't working and you will need to pay by cash. This was the 2nd time we had been to this restaurant and will not be returning. Customers eating in should be served more quickly & tables cleared away. It doesn't look good walking in to a restaurant when the tables haven't been cleaned after someone else had ate a meal. Stick to being a takeaway or hire more staff to serve customers eating in.

Went last night with my partner for dinner, had a lovely evening. Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend 👌

Lovely staff and the best curry around. 🍛

This is a small but well run restaurant. We visited for the first time tonight and were looked after by very attentive staff. The food was delicious, everything freshly cooked and beautifully presented. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant and we shall certainly be...

The menu was great serving a variety of Indian dishes also offering burgers and kebabs, it caters for takeaway as well, the food was tasty, it would be ideal for a smaller group, there was 8 in our group so there was a wait for the main course, when it came it was hot and tasty staff very pleasant would definitely go again.

Absolutely fantastic Never disappoints we always enjoy Fresh and tasty enjoyed every bit of it Staff great and restaurant very clean Couldn’t recommend enough

Outstanding food, the chicken tikka saagwala was right up there with the best i've ever tried, and being from Bradford i've had some good ones It's a solid 10 from me. Amazing!

Spent another delightful evening (anniversary) last night at this small but perfectly formed restaurant on the A41 in Bromborough. The food as always was unbeatable & the staff are friendly & treat you like friends rather than punters 😀 They don’t have a drinks licence, but are happy for you to bring your own tipple, which makes the meal even better value for money, but don’t panic if you forget to bring some, there’s a perfectly placed offie right nextdoor 🍷 They also offer takeaway and delivery to your front door, but it’s always a special treat to dine in and get spoiled. I have only given 3 stars for atmosphere only because it was so quiet, but we prefer it that way and are glad that this obviously undiscovered establishment hasn’t been spoilt by the masses 😀 Would recommend this place to everybody and just try their Zesty Jalfrezi, an absolute must if you like it spicy 🌶️ One million percent recommend, thanks chaps 👍👍

Food 45 mins late, which is a regular occurrence with this restaurant. Half cold. Also, overpriced. Paid 3.50 for 5 tiny chili cheese bites, scandalous size for price charged. Won't be ordering from them again.

The food was absolutely delicious- cooked by Woody the chef, it was so good and if I didn’t live nearly 200 miles away I’d be back regularly! Atmosphere was lovely, friendly and attentive and very chilled. Really enjoyed our meal, the flavours were just amazing....

I am not sure why this restaurant got 3.6. I always do collection and food is always amazing. My favorite indian takeaway in the area they also have 5 star on food rating.

Do not believe what they say on the menu. You order chicken with chips and get a crumbs worth of chicken. Over priced. Ridiculously rude when questioned. No resolution to their own faults. Go elsewhere 100%

Best curry I’ve ever had, bar none, & I’ve had a few! 😊 Staff were amazing, the whole experience was a pleasure from start to finish, will be back 😊

Great quality food just fed up of ordering on a weekly basis and still having to wait nearly 2 hours for a local delivery and get told every single time.. its because they are busy. 2 hours waiting time for a small order is ridiculous.

Having recently moved to the area thought we'd try this place and so glad we did. The food was absolutely amazing, and we will now be regular visitors! Woody, who greeted us was a fantastic host/chef, very polite and informative, recommending dishes to suit out palettes which we absolutely loved. Everything was presented really well from the starters to the mains but more importantly the food was delicious!! If you are reading this just go you will not be disappointed 😉

Well known for it’s famous reviews, meals and incredible tastes , I can only back it up! The flavour of the food and the quality and quantity are enough to make your taste buds go into overdrive , brilliant staff, amazing chef! Can’t recommend this...

Excellent food highly recommended,staff friendly and attentive.I would recommend no1 masala for eat in or take away.

Ordered a Takeaway yesterday, to be collected, and was advised online that it would take 30 minutes. I arrived about 25 minutes later and was told it would be a few minutes. Good enough it was ready only about 10 minutes later, and the waiter...

Waited 90 minutes before calling to see where food was as it was delivery within 55 minutes when ordered. I was told all the usual sorry we are busy free bhaji for the wait etc , and it will be 15 -20 mins. Food turned up 2 and a half hours after ordering and was luke warm and not very nice , the naans were soggy. Never again will I order from this establishment. Also no free bhaji to add insult.

Ordered takeaway. 2 meals, rice and naan bread. 7 small pieces of chicken in each meal. One of the meals looked like it had been cooked hours before and was congealed with a slimy texture. Butter Chicken tasted like Korma. In both meals the Chicken was tender. Rice was as expected and bread was nice. At nearly £30, it was definitely not value for money and I wouldn't order from here again.

Went out with my husband. Their food was delicious and the staff were really friendly, reasonably priced, modern decor. Will be visiting again soon..

This is mainly a takeaway restaurant, with plain but clean decor for diners, however, we were made very welcome by the chef who was very attentive to out needs. The service was slow, but do not be put off by this, the food was excellent,...

Fantastic food with 5 star service I think it is one of the best Indian cuisine in Wirral will be visiting again soon. When I’m back from Australia

Unfortunately it wasn’t a good experience, the poppadums were soft and I cancelled our drinks and was ready to leave and pay when my husband persuaded me to stay. We shared a seafood platter and onion bhajis which to be fair were delicious and I...

No1 Masala do great food, but if you choose the delivery option don't expect your food for at least 2hrs after you placed your order, they are pathetic, rang them & they said your food is out for delivery, 1/2 later the food still hadn't...

One of the best Indian food, excellent service,. These guys blow my mind with their food. Taste of it should be rated more than 5 stars. Just WOW!!!!

WOW, the food from here was outstanding we have just ordered seekh kabab, chicken tikka kebab, it was amazing even down to the chips, we will definitely be a regular customer. And the delivery driver was so FRIENDLY.
