Popadoms in Hartlepool

Never had a problem until tonight. Madras curry tray with rice and chips came with chicken?!? No good for a person who doesn’t eat meat. Naan bread was cold and plain with scraping of garlic puree on top. popadoms soft. Both starters were cold only thing what was ok is the chips chicken curry and wrap . Certainly not worth the money not quite sure if we will be back.

Fantastic choice and brilliant value for money

Food is amazing but takes 45 minutes for a korma sauce and 2 keema rice it's an absolute joke

Fantastic quick delivery and very good food. Excellent vegan and vegetarian options and the only indian takeaway to offer a vegetarian option in the Thursday and Sunday special when ordering online! Highly recommended!

Haven’t ordered in a while but by god I’m glad I did. Best Indian food I’ve eaten in a while. Thank you 🙏

We’re human kind charity workers and we have a individual person in bad state who has Agoraphobia can’t leave his room! And can’t eat anything but Halal food and we have called these guys for help and within an hour they have send him great selection of Halal foods we can’t thank them enough helping supporting us absolutely amazing kind hearted people we wish them all the best thank you again and again.

Very nice food but slow in getting food

We got chicken dansak and chicken dupiaza. Dupiaza was fine but a little bland for me and the large onion pieces didn't seem very well fried so I was a little disappointed. The dansak was untypical and wasn't very fruity or spicy but it was tasty. The chicken was excellent in both meals to be fair. Rice's were as expected for pilau and mushroom pilau, tasty and not greasy. The poppadoms were a little too salty for our personal taste however the pashwari naan was excellent, one of the best takeaway naans we have had in the town. Bit of a mixed bag overall. Delivery was about on time give or take 10 minutes and the two meals, two rice's, poppadoms and naan came in at around £23.

Food was fantastic had lamb curry and lamb rogan good portions and value for money we have ordered before and will recommend this Indian so give them a try. Keep the good work up cheers

Delivery was fast. Food was steaming hot and wow was it good. Would definitely recommend. Would definitely use again.

Have ordered from here a few times now food always comes hot. Good portion sizes. Tasty food. Good value.

Absolute beautiful food didn’t wait long really tasty my go to place now. A+++

Down on business staying over and fancied a curry, looked at reviews and thought I’d give this place a try for a takeaway and back to the room. I wasn’t disappointed, very tasty curry and would definitely go again when in the area!!

Had another beautiful curry from here but this time also got a smash burger and it was unreal, really tasty and enough fries for three lol, cheers guys, see you soon

Excellent service. Individual orders bagged up with each persons name on. Food was delicious, delivered hot and in time. Very efficient. Highly recommend

Had a big order delivered without a problem,all meals were perfect and individually bagged. Top marks.

First time ordering from Poppadoms, our food came 30 mins earlier than quoted I ordered chicken tikka curry + nan bread and chapati. We weren't discounted, it came hot, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, & the driver was very polite. We will defo order again. Thank you to the staff & the driver.

Got a take away, chicken Tikka Madras, was perfect spice level, the onion Bhajis were the best I've ever had and I've ate a lot over the decades, tikka naan bread was delicious, this was my 1st time at Poppadoms, I can say with certainty it won't be my last 😋😋😋

In town for a festival,recommend via a friend.Great service ,good food & a nice selection of drinks. Thanks

As always food is 5* which is why I always order from them.

Had a brilliant take away last night delivered to the Travel Lodge, best onion bhaji’s ever and chicken tikka Balti with keema rice was gorgeous.

Best curry house in Hartlepool.... came across the little gem a few months ago. Love this place, reasonably priced,authentic Indian cuisine, full of flavours, Thus has no become my local curry house and I live 6 mile away.

Absolutely beautiful meals. Full of taste and good value.

The food was tasteless and bland, and full of ghee, it was nice a few weeks back, so we decided to order again, never again!!

Great curries, so much variety, the peshwari naan is the best! We use popadoms again and again

Tasteless food. Some curries are without salt and some without spice, Some are sweet. Worst ever option for Indian spice

The best Indian takeaway in Hartlepool

the food was ordered online i found the website very good and easy to use we ordered chicken pathia and tikka chicken jalfrezi plus rice and sundries because there was no option for chicken tikka pathia i asked in the comments for chicken tikka with my pathia but this fell on deaf ears i also found the jalfrezi very sweet and lacking flavour i was very disappointed for for a high profile restaurant recently opening a takeaway within the town i definitely wont be using them again

Starters are amazing lamb samosas tandoori chicken Restaurant standard in your own home first class

Spending an evening with family and let's all have a curry. Popadom's is not too far and will deliver, so the order is placed. Pleased to say that it took an hour to deliver, making us think that it would be fresh and hot. There were 7 of us, all eating something different and everyone was happy. My chicken pathia hit the right balance between spice and heat. Would definitely use this place again.

Tonight’s choice of food was a 4 course meal consisting of chicken tikka chaat (starter), chicken tikka madras, mixed pilau rice and a special naan and I am so glad I made these choices as the food was absolutely delicious and arrived piping hot on time as requested for delivery. The chicken tikka chaat had a medium strength sauce and contained plenty of chicken and was accompanied by I believe it’s called a puri bread very nice. Next was the rice which beautiful and included small bits of diced chicken tikka and vegetables and then a chicken tikka madras to go with it. The madras again was very tasty and was not burn your mouth hot but I do edge more to spicier dishes so someone who doesn’t eat madras on the whole would find this spicy. The special naan bread was filled again with thinly sliced chicken tikka hint of garlic, chilli and fresh herbs. The whole rice curry naan together gave it a lovely kick and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would recommend it to locals and tourists alike. 10/10 from me

Excellent as always. Compliments to the chef thank you sooooooo much throughly enjoyed it.

Called for two takeaway meals on Saturday. The food was superb and all was freshly cooked. The rice accompaniment was perfect as was the naan bread. This is the first time I have used this establishment. It is certainly not the last. An excellent menu and very reasonably priced.

Just used the app it was so easy you get 10%off after ordering the countdown on the clock was spot on right on time. My food was delicious. Good value for money.

Absolutely gorgeous food. Very reasonable prices.

Can take your own drink in and the food is pretty decent.

Been a number of times,with friends. Friendly service and the good is always excellent! I'd certainly recommend a visit.

Starter a little greasy & curry a little too sweet for my taste. Small coke £2.50 ea which is too high given that you can BYOB.

We used to use this restaurant on a regular basis but have not been for a while had to wait 40 mins for our starters they are to busy with the takeaway side of things and getting the meals out and leaving the people in the restaurant waiting for the food its not like it used to be quality has gone down which is a shame

This place is really good, went for my birthday meal and had the veg biryani with a portion of chips. I can not fault it at all, super quick service and tasty hot food. No alcohol but you can take your own. Recommend

Had a fantastic night for my husbands 60th birthday the staff were fantastic couldn't of done anymore for us , the restaurant is small and friendly ideal for a small gathering either with family or friends there was 27 family and friends . The food was fabulous very tasty and plenty of it no complaints everybody thoroughly enjoyed it. The management were very helpful and done all the requirements we asked them to cannot fault them. The restaurant does not have an alcohol licence but you can take your own no problem at all as it was a private party we just the drink on a spare table and the restaurant provided soft drinks , ice and coffee.

Good food . Great staff . Good value . First time ive ever taken my own drink to have a meal bit strange but worked out well . Keeps the bill price low . Good idea would deffo return . Great idea

1st visit, fantastic meal, nice relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Lamb byiarni delicious, byiarni always a good test of an Indian restaurant and Popadoms was brilliant. We will definitely be back.

First time here and I wasn’t disappointed as the food was delicious! Service was excellent and we didn’t have to wait long. Was very impressed so I will definitely visit again . Thank you

Really good food, good service, it's byo booze which is good. Will be back

Food was excellent & very good value. Love the byo drinks not done this since Austrailia. Thoroughly recommend venue. staff and service excellent.

Lovely Staff Fabulous Food, highly recommend

Food delicious. Loverly environment. Never eaten Indian food before but i really enjoyed my meal. Good prices too.

Beautiful food great place take your own booze

Our food was really good with two completely different lamb dishes. No alcohol but byob allowed. Young staff very pleasant but we had questions as to if either owners changed or direction changing. One to keep an eye on I think to see where things go.

Shocking service! Waiting for over 45mins for an order that had been placed over the phone to be collected! Never again!

Actually disgusting. I ordered a chicken korma, when i recieved it, it was not only 2 hours late, but also was infested with hairs and fibres. Does Jacyln Hill work at your company or something? Seriously, do NOT order from here

Staff made us very welcome and food delicious and value for money .

Food quality was not what was expected.

I’ve had both sit in restaurant food and takeaway food from here and it’s gorgeous, never had anything I didn’t enjoy! The only trouble is I ate way too much! 😂😋

Not as good as other visits small portions more sauce than prawn very disappointed

Went on a whim with my Parents, was told on arrival that they dont serve Alcohol, but we could have brought our own, this was fine as we only wanted soft drinks. Decor could do with a bit of an update, but the food was very good all around!

We always use popadoms when we order our takeaways. We have had a few over the time and it’s definitely one of our top Indian takeaways in the area. Highly Recommend

Very nice friendly and helpful restaurant. The food and atmosphere are compimented well by the lovely friendly and helpful staff. The menu is very extensive and catters for all. I will certainly call again and would readily recommend this establishment to anyone. The prices are very good value for money and atmosphere was wonderful.

We came for a meal to celebrate our son's birthday. It's the first time we've been and everything was really tasty! Good portion sizes, delicious food, and friendly staff. We've picked up a takeaway menu for future use!

Booked a table here. Service was great And didn’t wait long for food. Food was amazing highly recommended do not serve Alcohol but you can take your own

Most Indian restaurants in Hartlepool do not cater for people who like really hot Indian food. They just assume that you'll be happy with something mild - but I never am.

Booked a table on Saturday night it's bring your own bottle as no licence very busy when we arrived lovely friendly staff ordered our food didn't take long to arrive was lovely very enjoyable night great prices & food well worth a visit

Had a brilliant meal with 3 grand children staff were lovely and couldn't do enough ..great value for money

Been a few times over the last month. The staff are the main attraction here absolutely fantastic. We travel to India most winters and we would say this food is the nearest we have tasted to real India everything cooked on site in the beautiful setting of hartlepool marina. They hold no license for drinks so they allow you to take in your own drink no corkage either !! Soft drinks available. The starters are mouth watering superb. Our meal (friends of 4) all different and all different heats just cooked beautifully so cozy. One of the best infact only the best indian around

Really friendly, food best we have had in Hartlepool. Very reasonably priced, nicely decorated, not many sit down customers but lots of takeaways.

Have had take a way deliveries from this restaurant which were all super, then hubby and I finally decided to go. Omg I am glad we did! We took a couple of bottles of our own wine. The restaurant was beautifully decorated with white linen table cloths and nice wine glasses on the table. The waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered poppadoms and pickles, followed by 2 starters, 2 mains with chipatti’s and a garlic nan. They were all beautifully presented, cooked exceptionally well and very tasty. All the food was piping hot, presented on hot plates! And only £25....We can’t wait to go back . Well done poppadoms !

Friendly & helpful staff. No alcohol but bring your own is fine. Excellent food, freshly cooked & nicely spiced. Highly recommended

Came across this lovely little restaurant on a previous nights stay in Hartlepool but had already eaten, so decided to come back to Hartlepool to try it out..

This was my local Indian restaurant when I lived on the Marina. I now live 34 miles away and still travel to pick up my food. The food is fresh and the quality and flavours are first class. The chicken tikka Jalfrezi with Onion rice is beautiful. I’ve tried lots of other Indian restaurants - this is well worth the 68 mile round trip for the lovely food. Nothing comes close to this place. - it’s in a league of it’s own.

Truly lovely Indian food. Hope it will survive for a long time

The quality of the food here is always top notch; it tends to be my go to place when I'm stopping at the Hartlepool Marina. Unfortunately, I do like a beer with my madras, and that's something that wasn't available on my last trip (unless I'd had advance notice to BYO). Whether that was the reason that I was the only person in on a sunny Tuesday night, I don't know. So in summary the food as great at a good price, but don't expect a pint with it (unless they've got the a licence sorted).

Really nice food really nice staff but no alcohol.

We were served by an older very arrogant man who announced they did not sell alcohol. He.beckoned with hand gestures rudely to pass our plates and then slapped our cutlery for next course into our hands. The place was empty on a Saturday evening. Not surprising on both counts.

Excellent food as always. No longer licenced so remember to take your own alcohol.

Lovely food at a good price. We will be going back.

An interesting place, nearby the Premier Inn hotel in the marina. At entering I was told there was no alcohol served. Funny, never had that before.

This was the best curry and customer service I've seen in the north east. I've been all around trying the best places and this is it

Excellent food and service..great staff.

The food in here was excellent, freshly cooked and to a high standard. We dined in here with our children and the dish brought out to them was excellent and both eat everything. Will be back when we visit Hartlepool again.

I attended with my wife tonight. It was very cold out. I ordered chicken dupiaza, Keema nan and and special fried rice. My wife ordered chicken korma, special fried rice and garlic nan. The service was very good but the food was, I am sad to say, very bland. I could not detect any spices in any of the dishes. The best thing was the keens nan. The price was very reasonable but this would have achieved 5 stars if it had been tasty. Unfortunately it was not.

Great Indian meal. Plus excellent service

Excellent food and reasonable price. You bring your own beer too which is great, instead of drinking luck from a gas tap.

Visited here whilst staying nearby. Very nice food, I had Vegetable Madras, which was very good. Staff very polite, Would return.

Nos gustó el nombre del restaurante y encontramos que, para nuestra sorpresa, no había nadie allí congregados. La comida era excelente, especialmente los platos de verduras y bhaji bindii eran excepcionales y el naan peshwari era realmente individual, calientes del horno y delicioso. Para nosotros, fue una verdadera ventaja para encontrar que no había licencia de alcohol. No la gente se dé cuenta de cuánto dinero se puede ahorrar comprar un trayendo sus propios vinos o cerveza - un viaje rápido a Asda en la ruta, a 3 minutos del restaurante. Todo el mundo gana.

We had dinner here on Friday 9th June, having walked 5 minutes from the Premier Inn. Nice location in the marina, good service, food was very good, we had chicken curries with rice and naan, would definitely go again. BYO..we took a couple of beers, they supplied an opener and glasses.

Was the best, not any more. No longer serve alcohol and it's looking a little grubby. Off the list...

Esta es la segunda vez que hemos ido a este restaurante. La comida es excepcional y tiene una buena relación porque llevar tus propias bebidas. El chill su ellos antes de ir. El servicio me pareció que esta vez era muy lento, pero el personal era muy amable y profesional.

After eleven months trying eleven different Indian restaurants in the town Popadoms came out on top for food, atmosphere and friendlyness of their staff. Even on our second visit with our group of seventeen sitting round the table, everything came out together and was piping hot. Nothing was a problem for the waiter and waitress or the kitchen staff who made our evening go without a hitch. You can bring your own drinks and they were served without a hitch too. Summing up I can say we were well looked after by Popadoms and we all enjoyed a very memorable time. Thank you for a fantastic evening.

Simply the best in the town. Added to the fact they have 2 days of special offers makes it even more appealing. Service is prompt and food is always piping hot. We wouldn't go anywhere else than poppadoms for our food it's delicious.

Great service and food... No alcohol drink licence

I bought a lovely take away meal from Popadoms last night , my food was freshly cooked to perfection and very reasonably priced. I recommend the Chicken tikka madras .

Perhaps I hit an off night but not as good as the reviews had got me expecting. Nothing wrong for a curry fix however.

Lovely food excellent service will be coming back again soon

Visitamos Popadoms en julio y tuvimos que esperar para una mesa que estaba tan ocupado. La espera valió la pena, la comida era de primera clase. . . decidimos pagar otra visita el sábado por la noche alrededor de las 9. 45:00 h. para mi sorpresa que estaba vacía. Como estuvimos allí nos entró y me dijeron que han tenido su licencia revocada (algo que bebidas hacer con ellos tratar con comer solo) nos sentamos allí a menos de una hora y no una persona entró, lo que me pareció bastante extraño. Aún así, la comida era agradable y a un precio razonable y el personal era muy agradable. Cruzando los dedos. No es que una mala señal de cosas por venir. .

this restaurant used to be class but ime back there aging for the third time , and I was so disappointed to, the lads running the restaurant is a lovely bloke, but the meal was shyte so disappointed won't be back

Wow :) just had a takeaway booked through justeat and it was really good . Delivery time was excellent and...
