I wish I had read the reviews first before eating here. My chicken tikka masala was brown and tasted bland like it was from a supermarket jar. The onion bhaji was so salty it put me off. There was no depth to anything we ate. Staff and service was good just the food was a complete let down.

Attended today with my family. Nice waiter, but the rest was disappointing and I would recommend avoiding. It was very expensive, which I actually don’t mind but I expect the food and service to match the price tag. Poppadoms were fine (you can’t do them wrong right?) although mint salad for them was disappointing - very small portions of badly chopped red onion with nothing else. It’s my fave poppadom topping so I was disappointed. Then it was over an hour until our mains came; the waiter kept coming over and saying won’t be long. When it arrived, a girl came and didn’t know what was in any of the dishes she had on her tray. She just kept stiring and flicking them about saying to us ‘I think this is chicken, anyone order a chicken one?’ Etc. then she said the kitchen had messed up and took the last one back to check what it was, before coming back with it. They were all barely warm - so we think there was a mess up and they must have been on the side a long time. My sister in laws had a chicken dish, and found a chicken bone in it the size of a 50p, which put her off the rest of her meal. Dangerous too as my nephew had been eating some of our food. When asked if everything was ok, we don’t like complaining but I did mention the chicken as 1) dangerous 2) unacceptable and she left half her food as didn’t feel safe eating the rest. The waiter informed the kitchen but said he couldn’t not the charge off for it as the menu had a disclaimer saying there may be dangerous bones in the food… Then we discussed tip, and not the waiters fault but it was an awful meal and we were going to leave £5 but they went ahead an added service charge equating to nearly £12. Meal which was just poppadoms, mains and one set of drinks (only two of which were alcohol) was £167 for 5 adults. I really would not recommend going. There are lots of other restaurants on site and chains which I think would be better

Just disappointed. We ordered meal for 6 for delivery so can’t tell you what service or atmosphere is but judging on food I bet it would have been poor. We have ordered variety of curry’s, shared rice and Naans. To be honest the only good thing about it was Naans. Curries were so salty we needed water to wash it down. Portions were small too and for the money that you pay it’s actually a joke. We usually share rice when we order takeaway usually but it’s definitely only one portion in box. When you spend so much money you would expect great food but this was just disappointing. Only order this if you are on a diet or lost your sense of flavour, otherwise prepare a jug of water on a table.

They went above and beyond to ensure that we celebrated not only our recent engagement but also a lovely family meal to end our holiday on a high!

Attended this place, good ambiance & service, food hmm… some kind of fusion tried to make it like Indian bur in vain, cooked in some kind of sweet paste, personally i think it’s pre cooked frozen food been served as zero flexibility in cooking ingredients ( thats not a case onsite cooking). Don’t visit if you want to eat Indian, only visit if you dont have any other option.

My husband booked a table for 4pm through the centre parcs site for our 14th wedding anniversary while the kids did their own thing. We were the only ones there and we were truly catered and cared for, absolutely amazing having the place to yourselves. When we last went they had a Kasundi sauce for the popadoms which was so full of flavour, but this time no Kasundi. The amazing staff managed to find some and got those tastebuds going and bringing back memories of the last time. Service and staff were amazing. Will definitely return.

Similar to the other reviews. The service was good but the food… well, I would recommend going to the parc market and buying a jar of curry sauce for a more authentic experience. The onion bhaji was burnt on the outside and raw on the middle - nothing like a greasy pile of uncooked seasoned flour batter to set you up for the main course. The staff were very good though and deducted it from the bill. As for the main course? I enjoyed the lager I had with the main. In fairness to be expected on a single source site so not overly disappointed. Just need to manage your expectations going in.

Our third visit, first being 2022. Service was good, but main courses were very disappointing. Both tasted very artificial, as if flavoured with Heinz tinned spaghetti sauce instead of fresh ingredients. It’s also about 50% more expensive than the other restaurants on site. We won’t bother next time.

The worst Indian I have ever had. Although, the service was slightly better than average in fairness. We were a family of 4 adults and a toddler. We had sides and mains. The food all tasted just odd. A combination of Borvil and vinegar. We were able to laugh about it, but needless to say we wouldn’t recommend to a friend nor would we ever return.

I’m really surprised at the other reviews, this was easily the best meal we had at Center Parcs (though expensive- but everywhere is there!). We had onion bahjis and fried okra to start, then the lamb shank and butter chicken for mains with a garlic naan. Everything was really well flavoured and cooked well, with decent portion sizes. The service was excellent, and the setting was nicer than a lot of the other restaurants on the site (possibly as it was a bit smaller and set away from other restaurants).

Food was just awful, when we walked in the lady almost warned us, saying that this is not a traditional Indian but an Indian with a Centre Parcs twist. I knew from that point the twist was that was it wasn't going to be good. Feeling optimistic we ordered with faith, the poppadom dips tasted what I can only describe as odd. The starters were awful 😖 with no taste and the mains just as bad, clumpy rice with tasteless mains, the slow cooked lamb shank with the weirdest congealed jelly like sauce. The staff were pleasant, likely because they didn't want the service charge removed from the bills. For £200 for 4 adults and 2 children with one drink each I would rather have cooked for sure!!!!

Great service but the food was WAY overpriced- £17 for a tiny portion of curry that can only be compared to a budget supermarket microwave meal - not including rice, but including a hair in my food instead. Save your money - buy a COOK curry from the ParcMarket and swerve this place.

The food was awful! I have eaten many chicken tikka microwave meals in my time and this tasted exactly like them. All the rice was clumped up together as if it was microwaved, the chicken was very chewy and tasteless and the sauce wasn’t creamy or thick like you would get in a proper Indian restaurant. It’s also extremely overpriced. You’d be better off buying a microwave meal from the shop.

We've been to this restaurant twice, once at Nottingham and once at Elveden. We've been disappointed both times The vegan options are terrible, no protein in any of them, just a random mix of vegetables. It feels like they just use whatever vegetables are left over. I had a bhuna this time round and a quarter of the dish was taken up by an uncooked tomato. I finished my meal in about 2 minutes because the portion was so poor. And it cost over £20, which is disgusting. I didn't have a naan bread this time because the vegan naan bread was so bad at the Nottingham restaurant. My partners food as a non-vegan has been average, never worth the incredibly high prices. It's a huge shame because the staff are always very nice, although service is generally slow. And the restaurants are always beautifully decorated. I dont think we'll be returning.

Like surprises? Go for this place. Order a main curry and get it served in tiny little side bowl. In fact order a curry worth £17.95 and get an item with fresh (uncooked and raw) tomato sauce. M&S ready meals have better tasting curries than 5/5 curries we ordered including some veggie sides. I’ll give them the mediocre tasting mushroom curry side. NOTHING other than that was curry like, tasty, or flavourful at all. Food: I’d rate the naan breads and Pepsi max as the best tasting items of our order. Rice was left in the microwave far too long so got the plastic beads in form of rice. Jalfrezi was brownish black curry with raw tomato zing. Potato side dish was roast potatoes skin on, swimming in oil and herbs. 30-60ml of oil at least. Starters wise samosa were barely fried. White and light coloured pastry on samosa is a first sign of bad Indian chef. Paneer tikka with raw paneer again no attempt to shallow fry, roast or cooking was made. I’d say that’s acceptable as some places don’t cook the paneer BUT the sauce is expected to have salt, spices and not just canned tomatoes churned mixed with heavy cream. All in all they’ve westernised what they think is Indian food to a point of no return. At 9:30 we were told kitchen was closed without prior notice. We did place a massive order at 8:45 and did notify the waiter we would order more to which the response was ‘yes of course’. Come 9:30 the kitchen was closed. We were way too hungry to try elsewhere. So ended up ordering naan breads the only thing available to order and had them with Pepsi max. Ambience: The music is on point. 10/10 for authentic Indian music playlist. Staff were overall friendly BUT not happy to be at work by the looks of it. Service: Quick efficient service but you’d expect that when they’re serving food that won’t be sniffed by our four legged friends. Would not return, food this awful, prices unjustifiable and attitude of the business was overall not worth your money or time. If you’re at Centre Parcs, take time to drive 5miles to town and there’s far better Indian options we tried the next night.

Was sat down to table & within 5 minutes witness the manager telling all the staff off at the front bar. If anything like that needs to be done then do it out of sight of customers. The manager just walked around with a bad vibe, could see other people not very happy either. It felt awkward & tense. Food was average. Popadom platter starter was nice but all main meals ok; nothing special & really overpriced. Only had a sharing starter, 1 main each & 1 drink each & still paid about £40 per head for 6 people. Katy our waitress was lovely, very helpful, kind & provided recommendations for our starters. Hence the 4 stars. Was a bit busy so service was a little slow otherwise would have given 5 for service. Not Katy’s fault obviously. Wouldn’t recommend coming here; probably the same quality curry if you went to the shop & bought a microwave meal.

Incredibly disappointed with the food, none of the chefs had any knowledge of Indian food. For an Indian restaurant there needs to be somebody who has experience of cooking Indian food the correct way. The biryani tasted like cheese, the lamb curry was sour. The only way you could tell that the food was Indian was because of the name. I would not recommend eating here as the other restaurants are much better. However the service was good and the staff were incredibly nice its just a shame the food was so bad. For the food to be so expensive I would have expected better and not curry that tasted worse than something from Tescos, especially when we spent £500.

Feel bad leaving a 1 star, but 1 star is fair. The food here is awful, there's no 2 ways about it. Had a takeaway, and it's the worst Indian takeaway in living memory. It was reminiscent of the bargain basement 'curry' you get in asda. But was worse than even that. Massively overpriced, even for center parcs. £15 for a few pony prawns in what was little more than red water. Jesus christ. I can't believe that they thinkj serving food this bad is acceptable.

WAITED OVER AN HOUR - KARA MANAGER RUDE DONT GO HERE We pre booked our table as my husband and I and our 4 children ranging from 6 to 18 were excited about having our first curry here. It was not busy when we arrived as we booked early so my daughter would not miss the disco. We got advised to order double popadoms for our table which was a ridiculous amount. We then waited and waited!! They made their money by making sure pints of Fanta and drinks kept coming but after my husband asking twice- I asked and they said there had been a computer error in the kitchen- and it’ll be with us straight away - an hour late. I refused it as it was dry and sat out - KARA guilted me into feeding my hungry children. I left too stressed to eat - when I came back KARA said I’d rather you just leave as the whole restaurant was aware of the appalling service. She also accused me of shouting at her which I’d never do as I work in a doctors and put up with that all day. But being twice her age apologised anyway in case I’d upset her!!!!!!! Then my 11year old son was sick and we had guest services send a medical adviser. He recovered after a lot of cramps and pain. I’ve been coming to CP my whole life. NEVER AGAIN- a lot of money for poor service by 20 year olds on power trips.

So we have been to centre parcs before and I've always wanted to try here but the wife never seemed to keen but because we were going with her family we decided to book here honestly which I never bothered!. We arrived at this restaurant and I get it's not your normal everyday Indian restaurant but the deco doesn't really feel like your in a Indian restaurant. The service was okay by our waitress nothing to moan or groan about her service. We ordered poppadoms for starters and to be honest this was probably the best part of the meal. The poppadoms were lovely with a good selection of sauces for them too. When it came to the mains, there were six of us so we all ordered different things off the menu. My wife and my mother in law aren't big on a Indian so they ordered korma, mushroom rice and skinny chips. I start with this meal first the skinny chips looked like they had been blended and to be quite Frank looked like a joke. The mushroom rice was OK not really to moan about but nothing to really hype up and lastly the korma. The korma was bland and quite frankly I think picking up something from your local supermarket would be more appealing and better value for money. My sister in law also had this too Then moving onto my dinner which I had a king prawn mahkani (I believe it's spelt) it's a coconut type of curry and I also had a peshwari nann. The curry was okayish not the best and not the worst but definitely not worth £17.50 I would say if this was priced at £7 then this would be more reasonable. The peshwari nann again wasn't horrendous but wasn't great but I believe this was only £3-4 so not the end of the world just very sweet My father in law had the same curry as me but lamb and said it was one of the worst curries he has ever had and he also had a basmati rice which he said was okay but not great. Lastly my brother in law had a bhuna curry (again I believe how you spell it), and said it was okay but nothing special and his rice which was a mushroom rice was okay but nothing great. My father in law did complain to the manager and did agree to remove the prices for the mains and the sides which to be honest i do feel is fair. The manager did say its not common to complain but looking at the reviews on here doesn't seem to be the case. I have written this review as I am a fan of Indian restaurants and also did look forward to this for ages especially seeing the trip before this trip back in December 2020 I wanted to go and the wife didn't want to. My honest review and to why I have given it two stars is the food is so overpriced for what it is and also the food doesn't taste any like it should do. If you really like your Indian food I wouldn't bother. Shame as the other restaurants at centre parcs are decent!

Very low quality for the expensive pricetag. Curries certainly not fresh.

Great staff and service, however the curries were very disappointing; it’s a microwave meal full of preservatives.

Not very authentic Indian food which was very edible .the restaurant is clean and well presented . Extremely over priced for what it is. Nearly £100 for 3 people to eat well.

Lovely experience and extremely flavoursome food not sure why the reviews are so low however myself and partner are very fussy and can vouch for this being a must on your holiday … Emily without a doubt is amazing at making the experience a memory and an asset to the team she was personable and her customer service is 10/10

Hugely overpriced, tasteless poor quality food. 3 out of 5 of us didn't even eat out meals and had to be refunded once the staff ha tasted the batch and admitted they had to throw the whole lot away. None of it is freshly made, they just tasted like poor quality ready meals. Great service from the staff though, but I will stay away from here on future visits. Centre Parcs could do so much better than this restaurant.

Went in there expecting it to be mediocre (Asian cuisine done by a holiday camp) but all five of us enjoyed our food. It is Indian dishes with a hint of something different, no Vindaloo in sight. The staff were great.

Mains are abit on the pricy side, but was very nice and tasty, was 8 people in our party and everyone enjoyed it. Sides and drinks all at a fair price. People comparing it to 'tesco ready meal' need to have there taste buds tested lol. Would go back, and probably will this week. Lovely service also.

Absolutely horrific. The staff do not want to be there, and they’re not shy in showing it. The food took forever, and it’s clear it had just been microwaved. No flavour, dry, and was like an Iceland ready meal. The bill was thrown at us at the end after we needed to ask for it 3 times. If the restaurant had of even been half full, it would have been at least a reason, although a poor one, for this poor service

Honestly don't bother eating in the restaurant. The service is terrible. The food doesn't taste fresh, it actually tastes like a microwave curry from a bag. Long waits, dirty tables & over priced.

Great service. Terrible food. The mains are small, expensive and no better than you could make at home with a jar of cheap sauce. Until Center Parcs fix this I’d avoid - a ready meal from the parc market next door will be much tastier.

Probably the worst food I have ever had anywhere. Let me address some of the other reviews and say it does not taste like curry straight out of a jar, because curry out of a jar still tastes of something. These curries have no flavour aside from the faint hint of plastic, likely coming from the container it was decanted from just before hitting your plate. Charging £14 for a poor quality microwave ready meal and then another £4 each for rice and naan is shameful. Everyone already knows the food is overpriced at Center Parcs but of all the pretty awful restaurants on site, this is on another level. Go literally anywhere else, snack on the bark from one of the many trees if you have to, and thank me later when you’re £70 better off.

This curry sucks so much. I tried the korma, Bhuna, tikka masala, and biryani… and they are all truly awful. Save yourself the money to the sports cafe/country club instead.

As a curry lover I was so excited when the family wanted to try Rajinda Pradesh. Sadly it was the worst meal ever, I had Jelfrezy, hardly any heat, poor flavour but so salty. Korma was bland. . Rice dishes just no flavour. Nuance bread and poppadoms actually quite good,

Worst tasting Indian food I have ever had. Complete waste of Money. The biriyani taste like it was out of a jar and the daal with it was even worst. Although food was horrendous the staff were actually quiet amazing.

We ordered a take away Saturday evening, food was absolutely awesome, possibly one of the best curries we’ve all had. Took just over an hour to come but it was well worth the wait. Also a little pricey but again, worth it 👌

I liked the decor and the service was fast and attentive. We had the poppadom tray and onion bhajis to start which were both very tasty. For mains, the tikka masala was very nice but the korma was a little bland! This place is average for an Indian but we still had an enjoyable experience. Compared to your local Indian restaurant, I'd say it was expensive for what you receive.

If you have £60 to burn, I suggest you do that rather than going to this restaurant, you'll likely get more value for money. Easily the worst 'curry' I've ever had, honestly think it's out a jar from the supermarket.

Wish I could give negative rating to this one. Food was awful, probably the worst I have ever had. 6-7 standard base gravies, probably bought from supermarket, very poor service and super expensive. I would cetainly NOT recommend it to anyone.

Extremely poor quality food and misserable service. Complete waste of money. The dishes are very expensive and the quality and quantity of the food is poor. There is no option for paneer or dal for vegetarians, only mixed veggies added in some kind curry which does not taste at all as what it should. The chicken dishes the meat was almost raw and without any seasoning. WOULD NOT SUGGEST THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!

Disgusting, I'm utterly disappointed by this. I wish I could give 0 stars. It looks like the chef had a fight with the vegetables in my curry and forget to add the spices. The garlic naan was dryer than the Sahara dessert and whiter than snow. Please do not waste your time or money on this horrible excuse of an 'Indian' restaurant

Loved this restaurant. The staff we delightful and the atmosphere was so lovely. Poppadom sharer, onion bhajis and veg samosas were incredible, I would 100% recommend them. The main course was a bit disappointing after the great start, the sauces tasted a bit like supermarket curries rather than authentic indian curries, but they were fine.Great kids menu too if you have fussy eaters!You have to try the mango chilli daiquiri!

I always get delivery to Armstrong close. The price is cheap and the food is amazing. Always with extra poppadoms and food is fresh and made with love. Onion bhajis are delicious and the free mint sauce is a nice touch. 10/10. Haven’t eaten in but looks like a good space so will do in the future probably to have the food piping hot. Thanks again lime very happy customer

One of the best Indian restaurants around. The food was absolutely lovely, the service was also spot on. It was the mother inlaws 84th birthday and already wanting to go back. Would recommend to anyone who lives local or just visiting, for takeaway or to eat in.
