Visited this place several times and the food is consistently good! The place is always busy but the manager (I think he’s called Safraz) is always really attentive and makes sure we get a table as soon as possible. The sizzlers are huge and always really filling- they come with chips, rice and a choice of noodles or pasta- I went for noodles and was not disappointed. I had vegetable Manchurian to start and it was amazing, spicy and saucy just how I like it. The garlic naan was so fresh and tasty too. It’s the perfect place to go and eat on a cold winters night when you want a hearty delicious meal. Safraz manages the restaurant well and isn’t afraid to get stuck in and do the work as well as his staff. All the staff are really friendly and on hand to serve you more drinks, breads throughout. Will definitely be visiting again!

Fantastic place. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was very nice. We ordered Paneer Szechuan sizzler, and the Veg Manchurian was the best we’ve had outside of India. The place was very well managed, and we were welcomed very well my Mr. Safraz who was so friendly and attended to our every need. The place is extremely busy, but all customers seemed satisfied and were enjoying their experience. Mr. Safraz, you’re a credit to Sizzling Palate and we look forward to travelling from far to visit the place again!

We decided to go sizzling palette 14 of us and sadly I’m the service was very poor it wasn’t even that busy. We had to keep asking for eating plates glasses and the 2 guy waiters didn’t have a clue about anything. We were told there were not enough plates and they were being washed? Seriously it’s a restaurant and not enough eating plates?? We had to ask 3 times for the plates abd glasses too. We ordered karai lamb n there was more masala than meat which I thinks wrong especially after what they charge you. But the sizzlers were lovely even though they all didn’t come together as we wanted.. there isn’t much customer service or hospitality if I’m being honest. It just felt like eat, pay up and go.

Group of friends, work get together. Arrived to no real table set up for 15, even though booked before hand. No offer of water. No condiments, no cutlery. Food starts to arrive from pre-orders few days before. Still no cutlery. Had to ask. Food cold was sent back. No salt or pepper. Food was so bland and dry once reheated couldn’t wait to leave. Only thing nice was my friends chips which I kept pinching from his plate. Will not be returning to this place again.

My experience was terrible. Ordered a couple of sizzlers and king prawn starters and lollipop chicken.. the prawns were not long prawns and like 2 cm long and u get 5 for a tenner lol!!! The lollipop chicken is just niblets! Lol ! When I spoke to a waiter and all waiters are like kids or can’t speak English.. he did not return to update me on my complaint about the so called prawn starter as the prawns were covered in batter and some were mostly empty, when I asked him again he advised that the manager just said ok .. so basically I spoke to the manager when he came downstairs and he was so rude and disrespectful he offered me 2 prawns lol!!! What an idiot! The price definitely does not reflect the food and I would avoid this place like the plague.. £100 meal felt like £20 meal

I Went with family members and it was very disappointing. Waiter wasnt very experienced and that is ok. But with food coming out very late compared to others and correct cutlery not offered it seems very rushed. BIGGEST problem I saw was food came to our table that was not for us and then was sent to another table. Something in this current climate is a huge breach of health and safety regulations. I would ask for it again if it came to my table from another table. This place needs to get with the times. Poor customer service and shortcuts dont work.

We went here for a birthday meal with a table booked for 5, we waited outside till 5.10 as the restaurant was closed and didn’t open in time to fufill our reservation. The menu looks great a lot of food for the price you pay but the food quality is not there. I got a sirloin steak and it wasn’t a sirloin the meat was so chewy some of my chips were hard and raw and the peppercorn sauce had a skin on top so was clearly re heated. All 3 people I ate with had the same opinion. I would not recommend at all. Don’t understand how the restaurant is constantly full.

Was out on a anniversary meal with my wife and thought we’d try sizzling palate again as we’ve not been for a couple of years. As usual it seemed a good idea at the time then you ask yourself why did I come here when you get there. Slow service with those serving being immature and unprofessional. I ordered special lamb sizzler and I was totally disappointed. I tend to give the benefit of doubt when it comes to food and don’t complain but this was horrible. When you can’t cut through lamb pieces with a steak knife easily you know you’re in trouble. I could practically blow bubbles when chewing that meat. I’m not sure they were bothered when I told the owners son this he blamed new meat suppliers for the issue. This place is going down hill quick and if the owners don’t want to change then good riddance.

It’s was supposed to be a nice evening dining with friends for a birthday. First , it took about walking around the restaurant to find a table, waited too long to get served. The orders were not taken properly and they chose to ignore our advise on how best to take orders so it doesn’t get mixed up which it did. I found hair in my food which instantly put me off eating my food. And now for the big part. We get the bills and we noticed that the prices on the bills were higher than that on the menu so we get the manager and he told us that we had the old menu but funny thing is all the menu were the same, then it offered us a discount but that didn’t even cut down to what we were supposed to be paying. Then he gave us another bill which was still higher meanwhile some of us were getting frustrated and wanted to just pay and leave which was the restaurant’s plan because they took so much time in providing the right bill. It took until several negotiations even speaking to the owner on the phone that resulted in providing the right billing and you could tell that this is what they do because a lot of people don’t calculate the bills they just pay so they get away with scamming people, charging way too much extra on the bills. So if you do go there please ensure you’re calculating your bill before paying for it

There is absolutely no social distancing. No one there takes any precaution. I’ve seen a server putting straws in the drinks with their bare hand holding the tip that will touch our lips. They even forgot our order so we had to wait for an hour minimum at the table to get our food. When I went to pay and told them about my experience, the lady at the desk was blaming me instead for taking advantage of the eating out to help out scheme. More like they are taking advantage by shoving as many people as they can inside and then creating a mess. Very unsatisfied and upsetting.

We went during rush hour time so around 3ish, there was only us and another customer it was not busy and they wanted to close up i'm assuming to collect their children? They started closing up, closing windows, shutters and doors and then rushed us out when we finished.

Went to eat with my wife and kid in the afternoon. It was pretty quiet, we were welcomed very nicely and seated with care and respect. We ordered our food which came within 10-15 mins and my wife's order was wrong, it had a mix of chicken and lamb when we only ordered lamb for her. I told the manager who i believe is called sarfraz, who checked the bill and said we ordered a mix which we didn't as my wife is currently put off chicken due to being pregnant. He said he will sort it and asked my wife if she wants it changing or can he just bring extra lamb, my wife said she wants it changing as she doesn't eat chicken, he had a face on and walked off in a moody strop! 5 mins later the food comes out and he brings it to the table, looks like the same dish with chicken taken out and lamb added in, fair enough! But again when the manager puts it down not once did he say sorry or enjoy or anything. We had ordered cheese as an extra side which never came so i got up again to ask for it to which he said he will send it, i also asked for Ketchup he said take a seat and we will bring it out to you. Within a minute a stuck up slapped faced female waitress comes to the table with cheese and slams it on the table and walks off not having said anything and no ketchup. Im not one to complain so i left it neither was i going to get up once again, its not my style. We continued to eat and the food was really nice we all enjoyed. I went over to pay all the staff were there near the till not one of them including the manager said anything, no apology or ask how the food was, all stood with a face on, the guy dealing with my payment again had a face on barely talking so i did the same i didn't thank them as they didn't thank me. Whilst stood to pay a guy sat behind us had got up to come and ask for his cheese Which they didn't bring out. We were walking out and the manager walked right past us and blanked us, fair enough it expected. We get to the exit door and the female waitress is cleaning the exit door windows, she stops for us, turns around and my 3 year old daughter looks at her, she gives my 3 year old a dirty look! So i gave her one back and walked out without saying anything! Checked the receipt when we got home and they had charged us extra for the mix lamb/chicken when we never ordered. So when i read reviews like manager sarfraz is a angel, no no no, its all rubbish, him and most of his staff members bar one are all stuck up, moody and have no customer service skills. Safe to say i wont be going back their again.

I haven’t visited this place in a few years but my friends has decided to go to this restaurant so I thought why not. There was three of us in total but one was running late. We sat down waiting for her and after a while a manager had come to say people are waiting how long is your friend going to be. He wanted us to lose our table to give to customers that were waiting after us. They hadn’t booked so he can’t possibly kick us off ours. Anyway I told him she’ll be here soon. After 5 mins he returned saying the same thing. That is so rude and then began to argue and then he had backed off slightly. This is very unprofessional we are paying for our food and you are getting our custom so what is the issue. I don’t know if he’s stressed or losing his marbles but he can’t just come up to us and kick us off our table. He has no manners whatsoever and I won’t be returning

I had booked a table for 8pm, and arrived punctually. Upon arrival my not my family were greeted. We awaited for a period of time and then I had to mention to a waitress behind the counter in regards to my booking. The whole point of a reservation is to not wait upon arrival. We were seated at a small table and felt quite caustophobic. 10 minutes into eating our main courses, I found a hair in my sizzilier. I informed one of the waiters, he removed the sizzilier from my table and showed the manager. No remorse, no apology. We were ignored. I awaited for 30 mins to see if any staff member would inform me on what was going to happen about the reported hair I had found in my food or if an alternative would be brought out. Not a single staff member came to communicate with us. I then asked for the bill; and finally the manager told me that ANOTHER SIZZILER WAS BEING PREPARED FOR ME. And he had added extra charges for the first sizziler on my bill.I told him that his level of service was disgusted and I was mortified that I had found a hair in my food, and nobody had come to justify themselves. Food hygiene levels are disgraceful. The manager, Safraz, looked extremely confused and gives the role “manager” a shame. He had no customer service skills, so I didn’t expect anything of his staff either. Whilst I was speaking to Safraz, he still didn’t show remorse, just pure attitude. Every waiter, including the chefs, came to stand besides my table whilst I spoke to safraz. I felt intimidated. I was then given dirty looks and death stares by the waiters, please find a picture for reference. My family and I travelled from Greater Manchester for this meal for my Mother’s birthday and this incident ruined the whole meal. I am disgusted with this restaurant and had high expectations. AVOID THIS PLACE

Went to Sizzling Palate with group of friends. The place was mad busy and I don't get it !!. Ordered steak sizzler which arrived an hour after ordering. I put that down to the restaurant being busy. When the food finally arrived, the oval sizzling plate was piled high with chips, noodles and vegetables with slabs of meat on top. The steak was over cooked and therefore hard. If you enjoy QUANTITY rather than QUALITY, this is the place for you and you will happily give it a 5 star review. On the positive note, the waiters were excellent

Love this place! Food is amazing 10/10 all the staff are well mannered kind ready to help and constantly checking to make sure your comfortable.Needless to say the palates are sizzling how so can get very steamy which adds to the fun!!! The main seating area is very tight and cramped which can be awkward with little babies who enjoy their nursery rhymes or like to throw food around (my LO) Only other downside is the parking is a nightmare there are a few streets u can park in close by but the actually ncp car park is down a hill or a bit of a walk away which is really inconvenient in rain and cold.

I went here with 2 small children and waited an hour for my food to arrive, whilst others who came after me ordered the same and got their food before me. After asking waiters twice I decided I would take it up with the manager who clearly needs training in customer service as I didn't even get an apology. So my meal out on Saturday night was a waste of time and money as the children were too tired and fed up by the time it arrived therefore didn't eat much.

I had to ask 3 times and wait a good ten minutes after my sizzler came for the munchurian sauce. Our naan never came. The food has gone down. Chicken portion on top of the sizzler is alot less. There are no carrots..mangetout ..mushrooms in the vegi noodles...there is a small amount of peas and sweetcorn. Chips , rice and noodles look plain with chicken plonked on the top.

I love this place, never had an issue with food I have never been disappointed. However the manager is just so rude! Unless you know him or his family he’s incredibly rude. The staff are treated horribly by him which as a customer makes me uncomfortable! When we first arrived he was annoyed that we hadn’t pre-booked then told us to wait 40 minutes, we ended up sitting on the exact table we’d been watching for 40 minutes that was empty but I think this was him making a point to us that we should have pre-booked. He pressurised the staff to clean our table (one of my friends hadn’t even finished) and then stared at us whilst we were sat there. He also doesn’t know how to treat customers as he didn’t say a word to me whilst I was paying. It’s such a shame because the place has awesome food but the manager needs to lean some professionalism. It’s typical of a gujoo though so I’m not surprised.

Delicious food and friendly service at affordable price. The sizzling dishes are a must try for the good fusions which sets the food at another level.

Visited the restaurant which I have been to before, I booked the table In advance and it’s something I would recommend you do every time you go. After dealing with the horrendous parking situation we got our table within 5 minutes of arrival. The food was good as usual however, it felt like we were squashed in. The tables are close to each other and it’s hard to get out. Added to that the noise levels from the packed in customers making the ambience leaving a lot to be desired. Went to pray upstairs and couldn’t get in as a woman was sat their holding it for her family. Maybe a separate men’s and women prayer might be better. I ended up praying in a corner on the top floor next to customers who were eating. I’m not sure sizzling palate can ever really count itself anything more than an average restaurant that feeds the masses.

Went here for the first time after friends recommended the sizzlers. The place was very full and so loud (with conversation) we could hardly hear each other. We had booked a corner table the day before and also confirmed on the day over the phone that we would require a corner table (due to one of us wearing a veil) and when we arrived there was no corner table saved for us.

Service is very slow, the food came out hot but it was very bland and oily. Idea of an Indian cuisine is to have the flavours bursting through the food. It was boring and I wouldn't even recommend anybody to go to "try it and see what you think." It'd be a waste of their time and money.

Visited here tonight for a celebratory meal . Was very busy waited around 15 mins for a table which isn’t too bad for a Saturday night . The food was good although the beef strips sizzler was very very chewy ! The lamb steak was delicious and the chicken steak was also good . The chips were not great seemed like they were soggy and not fresh.Noodles and rice and chips with the meat piled on top may appeal to some but for me was a bit sloppy and seemed like a huge portion of food for one person . We ordered 4 grills and only one of us actually finished so if you don’t eat a lot then definitely share one grill between two people.I would recommend this place .

Whilst the food can keep people coming back the service leaves much to be desired. The staff are often untrained and constantly changing with replacements also not able to serve people whose first language is english.

We booked a table for 7:30, when we arrived we joined a long queue and were not seen to for about 10 minutes. We tried to get the attention of someone to let them know we had arrived and were told we would be sat down in 5 minutes. We were sat at a table at 7:50 next to the window which was very cold.

Visited recently for the first time as recommended by friends. We all ordered the sizzlers. They where tasty and huge, (defo wont be leaving hungry). Only criticisms i have is only 2 people per table can pay on card, was 6 of us and we all wanted to pay separate using debit cards, which made paying awkawrd.

Dragged back here for a works doo. My colleagues insisting it’s fantastic… it isn’t, they won’t serve water, although still water is available at a charge, it’s just tap water for a quid. The food was aweful and the waiters whom all seem under the legal working age were tasked with navigating tiny pathways with ‘sizzling plates’ inches above peoples heads. It was surreal, imagine Baldrick time porting to the 21st century and deciding to be the head chef at a restaurant owned by Alan partridge and you get the idea…

Visited here with friends on a Friday night. Lively and a full house in a smallish restaurant. However there was more space downstairs that wasn’t open. Service was excellent. The portions are huuuuge. You do not need a starter. Food was nice but it stays hot because of the sizzling plate...

I have been to Sizzling Palate a few times and always enjoyed it; it’s overpriced for what it is but that’s not my issue. Yesterday, 5 of us went for a girly night out. The food itself was tasty at the time - we did ask for tap water and were told they don’t do tap water to which I asked, “well, when you open the tap, what comes out?” - money making which is ridiculous given the fact their food isn’t the cheapest! However, again I digress, as this isn’t really the issue. Fast forward to the next day and all 5 of us who went have had stomach cramps and diarrhoea. We all had different meats on our sizzlers so this makes no sense but whatever it is, it’s certainly put me off going back again!

Ordered mix grill looked like one big mess, some of the photos on here are revolting. Looks like food which someone has brought back. No eye contact with customers. Charged us £6 for a small jug of coke poured from a £1 bottle. No hot water in the toilets and no heating on. We left our food, really we should not have aid for it, not thanks or good bye don't know how this place gets customers.

Been here numerous times and I have to say that last night was one of the best meals we’ve had. Seem seemed to be attentive when normally most of them don’t know what day it is. Food came out quick and was nice. My only issue was that the restaurant was freezing. We arrived at 6:45 and asked one of the waiters if they could put the heating on and he said that it was on and had been for 6 hours which is just pure rubbish. It made us feel uncomfortable and had to wear our coats whilst eating.

Food is served too hot. You have to battle the smoke for a few minutes and then it’s too hot to eat. Quality is not good either. Ordered mix grill. Amount for meat is not good value. Just loaded with rice and noodles. Very few chips.

The place it self is lovely, but when your waiting you can see staff running up and down the stairs which I don’t think is very professional, and lack of communication between management and staff and the fact that you can see them pour drinks from bottles into glasses and charging double for a glass of coke!!! Food is in a poor standard, as I had the chicken tikka with rice,veg and noodles. It was served on a hot plate which looked like t was slopped on, not really veg when it’s just onions and over cooked noodles, everything was sticking to the hot plate, all tasted the same. We had poppadoms while we waited for food and we got charged extra for the chutneys which is a rip off!!!! Don’t waste your money!!!!

It was busy, food smelt delicious as we walked in and very chic inside. They will not provide tap water so you have to buy bottled water! We don’t sell tap water is the answer. We weren’t asking to buy it! Chicken dishes were lovely and the plates are huge with rice, chips & noodles. However the lamb was chewy & not tasty. They got our order mixed up & were going to give us steak. We don’t eat beef!!!! We ordered chicken rogan josh & got lamb. Well we think & hopefully it was it was lamb. We had mixed grill platter as starters and the chutney came when we had nearly finished it. We felt rushed through our meal. We were still eating our starters and they wanted to bring out the mains. There wasn’t any need to rush as we didn’t go until 9.30 & plenty of tables free. Also ladies toilets the floors were wet & dirty for obvious reasons and should be cleaned & kept dry! A shame because some of the food was lovely. Shame about the service!

We come here, 3 times a year for our Grand children's Birthday, usually we have a fantastic time, but today was disappointing due to lack of service, just 2 on the bar and one serving food and at 6.00pm the place was packed, so stood in a que for at least 20 mins to order food, then waited even longer for it to arrive, when the food eventually arrived, the children's food was wrong, so had to go back to be re done, one of the adult meals was wrong, but he just took it, because we had waited long enough and did not want to wait any longer, I had to ask for clean cutlery as the stuff in the trays were filthy, on a better note, my medium rare steak was cooked to perfection, after lots of good visits, I hope this was just a one off staff shortage incident, but we will find out next month at one of the other children's birthday, Sorry, but today was very disappointing

Ordered 2 meals at 7.30pm told 45 minutes. Delivery arrived at 7.48. No way was 2 meals cooked fresh & delivered in 18 minutes. Didn't eat much followed by severe food poisoning, absolutely awful. In my opinion left over food must have been warmed up. Never again! Avoid like the plague.

Bacon sandwich is just cheap streaky bacon , rubbish had to bin most of it as it was sooo fatty Jacket spud and beans was like elephant skin and hardly any beans . They had no eggs , not really a cafe as it claims . Ok if you want cake. Don’t bother find somewhere else . The coffee was more like warm frothy milk with a couple of coffee beans present Defo not value for money
