Purple Tiger, Taunton in Taunton Deane

Loved it, good food and night for a traditional curry recommend

Went there last night-It was a bit of a surreal experience.Only one other table occupied where we were seated.Shown to our table and waited -eventually someone came with a menu & Drinks menu.A while later someone turned up asked what we would like to drink-beer was OK but somehow none of the red wines were available so was offered 1 alternative which I picked because it was all they had.Poppadums and the accompanying Chutneys,Sauces etc were very nice.Then another long wait before we were asked for our mains.Again another long wait-when they turned up some were well over cooked and the meat was tough but others had lovely food!Really don’t understand why!

Outstanding service and delicious food! I frequently get takeout from here, and my family always loves it. Plus, there’s a fantastic 20% discount if you order by phone, which is a great bonus!

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Will for sure be going back to them. Highly recommend.

food was lovely,1st visit but will definitely return

Lovely people and food gorgeous x

Food is excellent ...and delivery is too fast ..

Great service and tasty food. Very helpful and accommodated me when I forgot to order a nan via the app.

Very good Food and very Quick delivery

Delivery was within time given, just. Was around 7pm not 18:50. At 18:30 I had a message to say delivery was on its way but took about 30min to be delivered. I’m only 15/20 min away by car. Temperature of the food was ok but had to reheat naan bread as it was cold. Curry it self was nice. Will try again in the future to compare with the recent meal I had.

Very pleasantly surprised to be able to receive a delivery where we live as a bit out of town . Easy to order and was a very good curry, though it did take hour and half from order

We received an excellent welcome from the incredibly knowledgeable staff who assisted us with our menu selections. Our food arrived promptly, and we even received a discount for paying in cash. The restaurant is beautifully designed and very elegantly arranged. The food is outstanding and truly worth every cent.

not your best work but still tastes great, wasn't impressed by the shrimp starter

It was absolutely fantastic! The staff was friendly, and the service was great. I would definitely return again!

We came as a walk in table for 2.Ordered from the Purple tiger, food was great and the service for the bottomless drinks was really attentive.I expected it to be slow with us ordering cocktails but our server Tierney made sure we had the most from our time and was efficient and friendly.Will definitely come again and recommend.

Very polite and friendly staff, go above and beyond, food excellent, fresh and hot. Environment was very clean aswell.

Enjoyed a lovely evening, all the food tasted amazing and the garlic naan was juat delicious. Very well looked after throughout the whole evening. We will be back.

Outstanding restaurant! The food quality is remarkable, and the staff is wonderful. This is definitely the best Indian cuisine in Taunton.

Lovely amount of meat, samosas, rice & naan faultless however, I found the masala lacking in flavour and very watery. There was a large puddle of watery liquid in the bottom of my bowl as I was coming to the end of the curry. Thicker more flavoursome sauce and would’ve changed my experience. Fast faultless delivery though.

Amazing Indian!!! 10stars! Phenomenal food, good quality food including the chicken rather than some of the cheaper Indians where the chicken is just watery - lovely delivery man and helpful staff on the phone when I called to give them instructions for my building - recommend highly!

Great food, understanding delivery fella.

Fantastic food. Great bhaji and madras. Will definitely order again!

food was piping hot well done just eat

absolutely amazing as always, thank you very much for the delicious food c; x

Wasn’t the best curry’s meat was nice food was hot but flavour wasn’t there and was watery

Amazing food Amazing staff Delo A must in Taunton

Consume were quite a way kid of town our food turned up lovely and hot. and the food was very flavoursome

Gorgeous Meal. Arrived very hot. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Not happy ordered over 2 hours ago and still no here!!!

All food was cold. Both curries were very watery and bland. Will not be buying again!

The is one of the best Indian meals we have had for a very long time. We had people who had never had Indian before and it was lovely to order different types of meals with different spicy ratings which we easy to understand on the website.

Great flavors and good sized portions. Could do with using a warm bag to keep food hotter, especially when delivery address is out of town.

I ordered lamb but got chicken.

An absolute Corker! Everything hot, tidy and ‘right’👌 vindaloo is a a bit light on meat but the sauce was great. Included was a complimentary veg curry…. So I will review that as it went very well with the garlic naan. The veg curry sauce was flavourful but not hot so you could sprinkle some extra heat to your liking, it was unctuous and the main point is that it was made with fresh vegetables!!!! Many others just tip a bag of frozen veg… sweet corn etc… into a sauce… this was proper👍

Very satisfied with my takeaway. The Vindaloo curry is spicy enough. Sag aloo and peshwari naan are highly recommended.

food cold and Korma so watery... shame as usually the food is lovely

I ordered the Pasanda Chicken, among other dishes. While the portions were generous, the taste was disappointing. The Pasanda Chicken was unexpectedly sweet, lacking the authentic Indian flavors I was hoping for. However, the service was courteous, and the delivery was fast.

driver banged aggressively on my door and dumped it on my doorstep

Arrived late and food was not hot.

Great food, very tasty and the best Naan had in ages. Now a licensed Indian so they do need to advertise /update website as we took our own drinks as we'd done previously. They were kind enough to allow us to drink our own which they didn't have to do. Very friendly staff. Our small group of 4 , only ones dinning so no atmosphere. Doing lots of phone orders. However, didn't spoil our experience and nice to hear proper Indian music playing rather than Britney Spears, Michael Jackson and such like. Would happily revisit.

Good food but nearly 2 hours from ordering to delivery

Bang on the earliest time predicted and on a Saturday! Hot, fresh, tasty and well packaged. I tried the passion rice for the first time…. Where did that GEM OF FLAVOUR & TEXTURES come from? Wow… it went well with the vindaloo for a change and contrast. Starters, condiments, Korma and naan all very good also! 👌

One of the best takeaways I've had. Great service. Highly recommend.

delicious food, will definitely use again!

Becoming my favourite curry house. Staff are super friendly and really helpful, Food is absolutely delicious, working my way through the menu. And love the fact that cobra is on tap .

The food was tasty but, it was cold by the time we got it.

Could have been warmer (hot bag?) but still tasted good. Peshwari naan bread is very good.

I've not used this restaurant previously and I was very impressed. Delicious food - nicely spiced and not at all oily. Will be ordering again!

was tasty but not much meat more sauce

Bang on the earliest predicted time. All hot and packaged tidily. My first time trying Purple Tiger… Impressed! Lightest, crispiest onion bhajis I have had in Taunton. Came with a fresh side salad and sauce… the fennel seeds were a delicious ingredient! Pompadoms were light and crispy 😋 pilau rice was good and the vindaloo was perfectly hot with its own flavour…. Not just general gravy spiced-up. Better than my usual Indian restaurant that I have been going to for years - I am a convert 👍

Great quality food, delivered nice and hot. Will definitely order again! Delayed delivery but this was communicated, which is rare, so not such a problem

I visited purple tiger in April and May and I had chicken Madras, pilau rice and 4 poppadoms, literally best food. Staff was polite and friendly. Parking outside was okay but 5 STARS from me

Delicious food, great value and even delivered early. What more could you want?

excellent service delicious food

Great meal, couldn't fault it. Def will use again, time wasn't an issue to us, it was bank Holiday!

First visit here, very impressed. Firstly we were warmly greeted by Delo and Shakib who not only looked after us but also kept our 8 month old son entertained and amused throughout our meal. Our reasonably priced food was expertly cooked by Ruhel with authentically spiced flavours. Lovely background music playing too. I can't praise this Indian Restaurant enough, we will definitely be back.

Food poorly seasoned, madras lacking flavour apart from heat. Aloo gobi had no flavour tasted like boiled veg with colouring. Luke warm when it arrived.

We've previously enjoyed our food from here but last week was awful. The chicken tikka masalas were watery and completely flavourless. As soon as we finished eating my partner and I were ill. I've given 2 stars to be generous because of previous purchases but I don't think we're going to be risking them again.

Reasonably priced, good Indian food.

I’ve been to Purple Tiger a few times and experienced good value, delicious food, and friendly, polite service particularly from Delo.

Would really recommend purple tiger very friendly staff yummy tasty food and a nice clean place in general. I would definitely visit here again it was delicious and considering it was my first ever curry out I was really pleased with it good flavours too!

45 minutes late, cold bits of food and terrible attitude from the delivery driver

Really tasty food, very fast delivery, still boiling hot on arrival. Nice delivery man who didn't struggle to find me. Thanks very much, would recommend and will definitely order again. :)

absolutely amazing food top quality service 👌 definitely recommend

Lovely food, loads of it and a few much appreciated freebies!

We highly recommend The Purple Tiger , the food was so delicious , the staff are friendly & efficient ,the restaurant had a nice relaxing feel. We both enjoyed are meal very much , we shared a starter of meat samosa, then we had Salmon & the chef adjusted the spice level so it wasn’t to spicy, the Devils Tamarind was perfect as was the onion Bhaji & rice. We will definitely be returning

Great food, tasty dishes with friendly staff . Definitely go back again.

Very good food enjoyed every bit of the curry loved it overall it was a very good night the waiters were very friendly will defenetley come back. Thank you

Order placed on Just eat at 18:25, when calling at 20:15 they advised me it was 10 minutes away but would not confirm it had been cooked and was on its way. It’s now 20:50 and they’re no longer answering the phone. Food not delivered, response on the phone not acceptable. Will not be ordering again

I’ve ordered from here twice now. The first time I wasn’t impressed but, I thought perhaps I caught them on a bad day. So, I tried again and It definitely hasn’t improved. It was so bad! The curries are so watery, food is bland and the chips were not cooked properly. Food was Luke warm at best yet other places seem to be able to deliver hot food okay. I will not order from here again! Waste of money!

Nice flavour but cold and watery.

absolutely excellent as usual definitely recommend 👌

I would not have been able to identify this dish (one of their most expensive) as a curry. Tasteless, strange consistency, very few prawns and arrived late. Awful experience.

chips were cold, the other dishes were luck warm.

I think this is the same as Tamerand bay in Welly and spice club in Bridgy. Part of a chain. Pink Garlic is better and similar style. Nothing really that new on the menu. Been to way better curry houses in town. Not much atmosphere. Lamb wasn't that good in my curry shredded not like normal places chunks. Tried it probably wouldn't recommend. Difficult to park nearby as well.

amazing too quality food and service definitely recommend 👌

Hot tasty and not at all greasy. Each curry had different levels of flavour. The rice was delicious with keema chunks big and small. We tried an onion and coriander Nan it was fresh and fluffy. The cool dip had slightly split In consistency but I believe this was due to being surrounded by hot products and did not detract. Onion bhaji like bowling balls. Crispy and tasty. Will definitely order again.

We came here to take a Co worker for dinner. We did the usual search the net for best restaurants and this was not there but being Monday not a lot open so we decided on the Purple Tiger and we were glad we did. The food was excellent no complaints from anyone and the place is spotless. That was on the12th Feb. today is 13th Feb. and we have just been back. Sure enough it was just as good. Really good food next time I'm in Taunton we will be heading straight there.

Over an hour late food was cold and watery threw most of it in the bin

Very taste food me and my friends went there for a get together party. The waiters were very friendly the service was on point. Had an amazing time. Thank you purple tiger team especially thanks to the manager Naz.

Great delivery time, however the vegetable curry had exploded inside and was all over the other stuff. Curry’s were quite cold too, had to warm through again.

Great food as always, highly recommended!

Disappointingly late for a weekday, a bit cold too but that's more to be expected.

Cold food with no taste. Curry separated so it was watery with curdled parts. Unable to eat anything more than the poppadoms. Delivery driver was friendly though! Will definitely not recommend or order again.

Delivery & ordering online were great but the food had no taste. I ordered (for 2) the King Prawn Puree, peshwari Naan, chick balti, garlic naan & mushroom rice. We got a free Veg curry, which was nice but the veg curry & king prawn purée has no flavour at all. Seriously, it would have tasted better if it came in just water. There was nothing. We’ve ordered from purple tiger before & it was lovely, which makes tonight even more disappointing. Will be avoiding from now on.

Just very bland with no flavour at all. Don’t know what happened tonight but not up to usual standards.

Running a little late but messaged received to explain so overall very happy with service , and food delicious

Friendly driver and great food, Yum! Gave us a free Naan too, very kind.

Amazing food and staff totally recommend. They are so lovely here and there's a great selection of food and drink. The atmosphere is good too

Fantastic food, delivered hot and delicious by a friendly driver.

So disappointed. I had several meals in 2023, all top quality and delicious. Today the food was dreadful. The amazing spices replaced with what looked and tasted like curry powder and sugar. The best naan bread I’ve ever eaten replaced with a soggy, sugar soaked parody. I’m sad. You lost a good customer.

Been regulars here since they opened in 2023. Used to be take your own alcohol which was fine. Started selling alcohol before Christmas. Went this evening to be told no red wine and no alcohol free beer. Previous visit they had no orange juice but sent out to the nearby supermarket to get some. Asked if they would go nearby to get a bottle of wine but they didn't. So my treat night out was no treat at all. As for the food, not as good as usual, we both thought our dishes bland. Very disappointed. It wasn't busy when we were there, you'd think for the sake of keeping regulars they'd have gone to the nearby supermarket, if my mobility wasn't limited I'd have gone myself.

Great taste , will definitely order again thanks

Took nearly 2 hours from order to arrival

Really delicious food, brilliant service! Great quality food and generous servings 😋 Thank you so much 😄

The naan bread was cold but the rest was hot and delicious!

Been coming here for years before, and always good quality food! Moved to Wales for 2 years. Came back to visit my favourite dine in indian restaurant. Staff are polite and friendly as always. Food was amazing! Place has has had a refurbishment to a very high standard since my last visit. Even the toilets are immaculate. Me and my partner had a lovely evening and will highly recommend to all, and will be coming back. 💯% Thank you Purple Tiger & team for a lovely evening! 🙂 A 🌟

the delivery driver was great. went out of his way to get the food here. finding away around the local floods. contacted me to explain the predicament he was in and still managed to get here. legend. food was good.

It was just really good all round, will deff be getting again 👍

Rice was disgusting chicken hard and naan bread very greasy total waste of money
