Our first ever order this evening - and it won’t be our last! Food arrived promptly and delivered by a lovely friendly driver. The curry was delicious - the flavour was something else. Peshwari naan, Bombay potatoes and rice were also outstanding. Definitely recommended

We tried to place a telephone order without success so used their online ordering service. We ordered about £75 of food and used an online discount code The order said 1 hour. It took 1 1/2 hours!! The food was finally delivered but incomplete We phoned the takeaway and asked for a cash refund to be dropped off for the one missing item….he wouldn’t do it. The next day we went to the takeaway. My wife was inside for >10 mins (I was in the car) but he wouldn’t provide the refund. I then got out the car and went in. It was the same story….no refund. In fact he kept going on and on about the discount voucher we used. This had no relevance to an incomplete delivery. How difficult is it to take a few pounds of cash from the till and give us our refund for food not delivered I finally gave up and told him if I didn’t get the refund I would call the police. Next minute he started rambling on about people he knew from Parliament and being in business for 20 years. Rather than just give me my money back he said “go on then call the police”……..so ridiculous especially as he admitted he owed us the money !! DISGUSTING SERVICE to a customer when he left us short on the delivery. We shouldn’t have to beg to get our cash back. AVOID !!

Ordered Half a Tandoori Chicken and Vegetable curry side dish, received it opened the Tandoori Chicken and it was a very pale cream colour, it should have been red, it did not smell of the unique tandoori fragrance. I put it on my plate and spooned some very watery vegetable curry onto the plate. Opened up the breast, it had not been spiced nor cooked in a tandor oven, it had obviously been cooked in a normal oven as one side was wet and oozing . It tasted of nothing, but hey ho, as I went a bit deeper into the breast, yes it was red, not tandoor paste but blood!! It was half cooked!!! I did not bother with the leg!! The veg curry was awful, tasted bland and no curry kick. This was just the takaways base sauce they had poured into some precooked veg. Totally awful, went straight into the bin. I gave them a try after 4 years ago when I ordered half a Tandoori chicken and got home to find 2 chicken legs, no breast!!! This place is awful, just dont go there . As for 'award winning', the cook who got the award must have gone back to India!!!! Avoid at all costs!!!

Have used this curry house on a regular basis for a while but unfortunately at the weekend me and my wife ordered from here. A couple of tikka masala meals with other stuff .our usual kind of stuff we have had before. But unfortunately one of containers was only half full which wasn't a major problem as between us we still had plenty apart from it was very very over cooked and had a dreadful taste. We phoned back up and nicely explained. To which we were told it was their same chef as always and they wouldn't send us a replacement and to ask for money off the next time we ordered. So unfortunately our curry went in the bin and had to have just the rice and Naan breads which ruined our meal. Not the way to treat regular customers. So unfortunately we personally won't be using them from now on. Not what you expect from an awkward winning establishment.

This is our go-to Indian takeaway. Food is always 10/10. The lamb tikka bhuna is a game changer and is my new favourite Indian main dish. The Bombay aloo and the onion bhajis are spot on.

We expected food at 7.30pm, by 9pm still no food and cancelled the order. My husband called 5 times to tell them the exact address and he was incredibly patient all along. In the end I had had enough and told them how bad their service is and had the phone put down on me. Just awful service. I can't believe how hard it could be to get a small order to us when we are less than 15 minutes away from them. Will never go back to them.

Ordered food 3/10/20 evening for delivery as we had friends around. Paid for by credit card £82 + pound order. Told that delivery would be in one hour. one and a half hours later no food and no contact from Sher E Bangla. Impossible to reach them by phone. My partner went round and had to go to the shop and collect the food none of which was hot. When we unpacked the order we found two items that should have been with the order were missing. Taken all round, quite easily the worst takeaway experience we have ever had.

I ordered a special biriyani, which should have contained prawns, it didn’t! I rang, and gave the restaurant an opportunity to rectify, the manager lied, saying he put the king prawns in and said he’d send me a video as proof... I’m still waiting for the video. The vegetable pakora were cold and hard upon arrival. This is genuinely the worst take away I have had the displeasure of ordering from. Needless to say I shan’t return. The only reason I have given 1 star is because the review can’t be posted with zero stars.

Wanted a nice curry. Went to collect waiting over 20 mins over our time which was 40 mins. Said 20% off for nhs staff only gave us 10% which you get for collection every time. Only got one mint sauce with our meal even though we ordered lots of sides. Food was luke warm. Front staff very rude. Especially the man giving the food out. Won’t go again

Normally use the Longfield Tandoori but decided to give this one a try. Massive mistake.Ordered online yesterday at 18-10. (It said it would be 30 to 40 mins). No problem. At 19-00 I rang and asked how long it would be, the guy asked me a few questions about the order then said , he’s just left, be with you in a few minutes. Ok I said. (Btw, I live 3 minutes from the takeaway). I rang again at 19-15, the guy said he should be there now, he wasn’t. I’m getting very fed up now, and very hungry. I rang again at 19-45, the guy says, sorry he’s running late now, I said , you said he’d be here just after 19-00. He said yes no problem he’s on the way. Didn’t bother ringing anymore, he turned up at 20- 35.......... so , it’s taken 2 hrs and 25 mins to deliver to me that’s 3 mins away. Needless to say the food was stone cold, totally inedible. You can rest assured I will never ever use this place again, no apology or offer of another meal at all. It’s the longfield tandoori all the way now. Do not be taken in by the other reviews. This is completely true.

Cut a long story short. Picked up our order and they forgot to ask us to pay. I didn’t realise until I got back to my car. As an honest person I went back a paid for my £80 meal!Once home, they had missed two main meals of our order, so I had to drive back. They confirmed they forgot one meal but then said I was lying about the second meal and it was in the bag. And he would show me the CCTV because he knows it was in the bag. To be called a liar after I had gone back to pay for the full meal was damn right rude! And the meal he thought we was lying about was a vegetable dish no more then £5!!!! I then asked for a refund on the two meals i had to drive back for as a good Will gesture considering we had to wait two hour from order time, drive back and be called a liar, and he refused! We have used this take away a few times in the past. Usually forget to put something small in the bag but we let it slip because we don’t want to drive back or wait for it to be delivered! Completely disgusted with how this was handled last night and we will not be using them again as they have really upset us! After telling close family local to the takeaway they have agreed that the service is never great and they will also not be using them anymore! So I really hope that it was worth it for them last night! As they would have lost a lot of business through myself and family!

I ordered a takeaway , and when I went to pick it up , one of the people serving was very rude , as I had asked for the discount on their menu . He said I should have ordered more , and refused to give me a discount . He then went into the kitchen bit , and I was worried he was doing something to the food , as he had been so aggressive . Anyway I said I would not be returning because of their aggressive behaviour .

So I got a delivery from here for the first time and let’s just say will definitely be the last time also! I asked for chicken pieces to be cut small as children will be eating it and they wasn’t cut small also there was pink pieces in the curry too!! Then I ordered poppadoms but only received one and was told there 75p per poppadom and I was like okay I was just confused as it says poppadoms and they said I need to speak to someone else about this and that was the manager saying that !!

It would seem a special sort of talent when, after ordering a Tandoori King Prawn Shashlik at a pricey £11.95, to instead serve up a £5.75 Poneer Tikka, then deny all knowledge of my ever having ordered the Shashlik in the first place. They did however, total the order up to the penny as if I HAD ordered the meal that I actually DID order. Isn't thst funny? This was a large order for 5 people, and I read the list out over the phone and ticked them off as the gentleman on the other end of the phone said "Yes..."(to move onto the next item). We collected, and only when we got home realised that we should have received a 10% discount - which naturally we didn't. We unpacked, and were confused as to the dish of flaccid white lumps coated in tikka sauce. Everyone had their allotted dish, and mine was, well...who knew! Certainly it wasn't Tandoori King Prawn Shashlik. Putting on a disappointed yet brave face I delved in. It was cheese. But not just cheese, but dairy so flabby and flavourless that it made Tofu seem full of perzazz. It was pretty dismal, and after one or two mouthfuls decided to give it a trip to the bin. My other half rang to ask what had happened, and the gent who took the order said that Shashlik was definitely NOT on the list. Oh yes? Then how did you charge me for it? And if that WASN'T on the list,then where the heck did this underwhelming Poneer Tikka at nearly a third of the cost of the Shashlik, emerge from?? I got the feeling the boss and usual staff were away and this was the relief crew who didn't care and who thought they could get away with it. Three of our party of 5 found their dishes substandard, which is very unusual as we normally rate Sher E Bangla as the best local takeaway. Not now. Don't pull the wool over our eyes, we've been customers for decades and now you've just gone and lost us for good along with your good reputation. Also they implied on the phone that my boyfriend was blatantly lying to get more food. This was NOT THE CASE. How dare the staff think that this is an acceptable way to do business! Want to make target for the night but keep to budget? Just charge triple the cost and give customers the cheapest meal on the menu and hope they just swallow it. Pretty shabby way to do business, don't you think?

We have been having takeaway from here for over 5 years. The food is always delicious and hot. We routinely pick up our meal as it takes from 45mins to over an hour for delivery but it works to pick up and you get a 10% discount too. Definitely a treat that everyone should try!

Had a new menu hand delivered as part of a promo this week, noticed prices had gone up, anyway generally good food so phoned for my favourites this Saturday and went to collect. Order was just over £15 for a couple of main courses and a starter. As I paid I forgot they give a 10% discount for collections over £15 and so did they apparantly !!! Realised as I was driving back... Well got my prawn Puree out and my word so dry and lacking flavour. Anyway I thought the mains would pick things up, was I wrong !! 1/2 tandoori Chicken - I got 2 small chicken legs - guys that's not 1/2 a chicken, where is the breast???? Even the legs had a lot of meat missing... Then onto the Chicken Bhuna, meat was there but the flavour had obviously gone amiss, tasted like an Asda jar of sauce and chicken pieces, so, so dissapointed. I have noticed the quality go down over the last 6 weeks, is it under new management??? If so it's not the Sher -e- Bangla you knew!!! Time to go elsewhere ....

After reading some of the other great reviews, my wife and I visited for the first time here on Sunday 29/9 for lunch, and we were extremely surprised! I appreciate that Indian food may not be the go-to choice for most people's Sunday lunch, but I cannot fathom why were we the ONLY diners in the place? It's one of a few Indian restaurants open at lunch times. There's free parking behind the restaurant on Sundays too. We opted for the four course lunch menu at a very reasonable £17.95 pp. The food was delicious and the service impeccable, and the staff were so polite. A bottle of wine, two beers and the food....all for £66 for two. Great value! The only point that slightly detracted from our lovely meal was that it would have been a nicer touch to have Asian style music, rather than pop playing softly in the background.

This used to be one of the best in Dartford, was our go to Indian takeaway, but the last 2x orders have been awful. Watered down sauces with little to no taste. Must have changed hands as I see they’re now also trying to sell burgers. Avoid at all costs.
